Gameday Thread, #92: 7/10 vs. Nationals OVERFLOW

Who was it said Reynolds couldn't learn anything at Tucson? How about learning to field the frickin' baseball? Dodged a bullet in the ninth. Let's see if we can rescue this one... Fresh start...

He dropped the ball on one play

in the last inning. Didn’t see the other ones.

Only saw the second and third

But he basically clanked them. First should have been a double-play, too. Entirely justified.

by Scrbl on Jul 10, 2008 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He’s defense seems really solid and, with some better plate discipline, he could be a decent hitter too. It would be hard to give up on any of the young players. UNtil the team gets out of its collective funk, we’re not gonna know what they can really do.

but what is actually happening is that every european team has got an issue with CBF (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol)...

and Barça is doing the same with Ronaldinho…
It involves health issues and bonus payments…

I'm surprised they had jackson go to left instead of reynolds

That’s originally what I thought they’d do.

Pena 3.83 ERA.

The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.

I can pretty much say that this outing by Pena already cost me wins on ERA and WHIP this week on the azsnakepit fantasy league

"Back here live at the Waterfront Village with my friend the zombie, Jonathon," says correspondent Nancy Francis. "You're looking good, Jonathon. Jonathon just got an awesome face paint job. What do you think?"

Jonathon does not need to mull this one for long. Jonathon turns to the reporter and says, in a voice that is both flat and emphatic:

"I like turtles."

If you want to see the record for any player:
1) Start on this page.
2) Click on the player name in question.
3) On the dropdown beside ‘Gamelogs’, choose 2008
4) Near the top of the page, you’ll see the team record, both in appearances and starts.

Actually, I have a glass half-full thought ---

this is a graph of the D-backs season in reverse….The first hump on the right is April – the drop is May, the next climb is the run we’re about to go on during July – we then nose dive in August…. recover in September…. and then win the World Series in October?

That is if you're referring to the current Sidewinders' CF Tim Raines

I’ll probably take a look at D’antona, most likely.

Well...

Couldn’t get the GDT thread to work right about when it went to 5-2, so I didn’t have the chance to say it as things unraveled, but I think it still applies:

What the fuck?!

Sure, at the end that was replaced by “yay,” but I still don’t feel that great about this game for some reason. Maybe because of how devastating it would have been to lose it if they’d blown the 7-5 lead too, iono.

by Azreous on Jul 10, 2008 11:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Blame Melvin

Blame Reynolds
Blame Canada

Yeah, losing it would have sucked, but look at it as a chance for our offense to go into Philadelphia hitting the ball well. Admittedly, against the Nats ‘pen, but the Phillies’ stadium is a biscuit-box beside this one.

by Jim McLennan on Jul 10, 2008 11:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah.

I’m sure I’ll have more optimism about this after some time has passed. And hey, Ryan Howard only has 27 homers and 84 RBI a .237 batting average, so that’s good, right?

by Azreous on Jul 10, 2008 11:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I’m not ecstatic either, but there were a couple bright spots:

Chad Qualls is starting to recover.
Some of the position players appeared to use their own mistakes to motivate themselves. Not exactly a silver lining (maybe a tin lining), but it’s great to see them do something more than roll over and die.

I agree with you on all counts, except...

They produced Steve Nash. Well, his parents did. But still, it’s hard for me to be upset with the country that gave us Steve Nash.

Technicalities.

That’s like saying “wasn’t Shawn Marion at $17 million better than Shaq at $20 million?”

Desperately seeking tech help!

So I have a audio drama I put on my iPod but it doesn’t seem to work, yet it works perfectly fine in iTunes. The iPod recognizes the files, and will pull them up, but instead of playing any of them, it just skips on by each one.

I’m not sure what types of files iTunes plays, but are they a file type that’s compatible with iTunes, but not compatible with an iPod?

Or do they have a DRM system that keeps them from being played on remote devices or more than one computer?

by Scrbl on Jul 10, 2008 11:28 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It's .wav

which is supported, and there isn’t any DRM that I know of, since it’s free.

Interesting game in Texas

Rangers and Angels tied at ten after ten. The Angels have posted double figures all the way across the board: runs, hits, RBI, walks, strikeouts and LOB! D-backs have managed that only once in their history, the second game of a double-header, August 20th, 1998…in Philadelphia. Is that some kind of omen?
