San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks, Sep 16, 2008 9:40 PM EDT

Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
"Unicorn vs. Narwhal Play Set There is only room enough on this earth for one majestic horned beast, thus the Unicorn and Narwhal must clash to decide the fate of their species. Two previous battles ended in a tie, with both sides claiming to be the victim of dirty tactics. Now you can settle the score with your very own Unicorn vs. Narwhal Play Set. Each set includes one 5-1/2" long, hard vinyl narwhal, one 3-3/4" tall, hard vinyl unicorn and four magical battle horns."
Shame we don't play the Padres again this season, and I'll no doubt forget about it between now and 2009. But I mean. the unicorn even has a rainbow horn. We've always had a soft spot for narwhals here - how can you not love an animal that looks like an aquatic corkscrew? - but this just solidifies our affection. Go, bottle-opener of the sea! Slay the evil unicorn! Deal with it like the avenging narwhal you are! Yeah, we're pretty much reduced to finding amusement where we can at this point in the season. You don't even want to know the details of the discussion about hummingbird tongues that Mrs. SnakePit and I had in the car this morning.
Meanwhile, the Arizona "Well, technically, we are still in contention" Diamondbacks face the San Francisco Giants, and we'll see if Dan Haren can complete the cycle of good pitching performances, delivered by everyone else in our rotation. Neither starter has covered themselves in glory of late: over their past ten combined outings, Cain and Haren are 1-5 with an ERA of 6.14. Mind you, facing a team who have scored 23 runs in ten games is probably just the cortisone shot in the arm the Giants' starter needs.
We can follow Mark Reynolds in his battle with Howard for most strikeouts in the history of the game (Mark trails by three going into today) - I'm writing up something about that, when I have time, as his comments in today's Republic were... interesting. We should get Drew back tonight after his family loss, and Jackson will be evaluated this afternoon to see if his throwing arm is up to playing the field - he was available to pinch-hit last night. We'll be out for dinner first, but will be back after not too many innings, all being well. My hair gets a further reprieve, since its executioner is suffering from whiplash. Let's hope Dan Haren isn't similarly afflicted, courtesy of balls whizzing off the bats of the Giants hitters.

Pitchers duel?
I’m looking for the Diamondbacks to tear the Gnats a new one.
I know they’re capable of it, just haven’t seen it recently.

About mar*K* Reynolds' Comments in the Republic
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/sports/articles/2008/09/15/20080915dbnotesreynolds0916.html
Are there remnants of Al Pedrique’s influence lurking within the clubhouse or dugout of Chase Field? Hey mar(K), perhaps a little bit of some humble pie might be in order. As these days of this grinding season slowly come to a close, remember, being a part of the Majors can be fleeting. You can and will be eventually replaced, injured, self inflicted injured (CQ), or demoted (traded) to other locales.
I think mar(K) should work harder fundamentally with his bat and his glove than flippantly popping off.

"If it happens, it happens; whatever."
That doesn’t seem like the words of a young player striving to improve. To me, they smack of complacency and arrogance, frankly. Imagine going to your boss and saying you won’t bother addressing issues with your performance because, “If it happens, it happens; whatever.”
by Jim McLennan on Sep 16, 2008 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hmmm....
I’ll have to thoughtfully consider both sides of this debate.
To me, it sounds more like a young player who knows his limitations. I don’t think it’s “going to your boss and saying you won’t bother addressing issues with your performance”, since Mark was talking to a reporter — we don’t have any idea WHAT he says to Rick Schu, Bob Melvin, or KGib. Also, I don’t think the question was framed as “So Mark, what will you do to get better?” but rather as, “Mark, you’re close to breaking a record for striking out. Are you going to change?” It’s the kind of question that automatically puts you on the defense.

Not sure what you mean here
If anything, public comments would surely be more toned-down than those expressed in private. That’s part of what surprises me: It seems fair to assume that if Mark is making public statements to reporters like “Whatever,” then he is expressing similar sentiments behind the scenes. It also ties with his earlier comments on the matter, “I don’t care what anybody writes about it or anybody says.”
I do take your point about the question triggering a defensive reaction, but he’s a young player who, it seems to me, should be acknowledging his flaws, listening to his coaches and striving to improve. There wasn’t much of that present in the answer that I could see.
by Jim McLennan on Sep 16, 2008 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Jim --
it’s Mark Reynolds. He’s only been in the majors for a season and a half — he’s not a public relations exec, he’s a baseball player. When he’s talking to a reporter, who poses a rather negative question like that, he doesn’t see the guy as a representative of the fans. (As sports reporters love calling themselves) He sees one guy attacking him on one of his biggest weaknesses.
And besides, for all we know, the coaches may have told him that striking out is fine, as long as he hits home runs.
Part of my response to this controversy may be explained by the fact that just last weekend I watched 61*.

Actually
Rick Schu’s comment [on the earlier story] was that he doesn’t mind Reynolds fanning, as long as it’s on pitches in the zone. It may be just selective memory, but there seems to have a lot of flailing, both down and away, and at high heat up around his neck, from Reynolds of late.
by Jim McLennan on Sep 17, 2008 1:14 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oh, dear
I’ve just realized fangraphs.com include data for each player on how often they swung at pitches out of the zone. I sense my Reynolds piece is going to be a) more analytical than I first thought, and b) delayed. :-)

I don't HATE mar(K).
He just needs some attitude adjustment and some motivational and proper encouragement. Most of these players should always remember that it is a privilege, not a requirement to play in the Majors.

No hits this time
Are we going to have to get all our runs off of home runs and doubles with runners on first for the rest of the season?

As a catcher,
it’s actually surprising, because you’d expect a catcher to slow down at the end of the season, rather than starting slowly.

by unnamedDBacksfan on Sep 16, 2008 11:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess
you could characterize it as such, yeah, just semantics, because in the case of i, not only is there no positive nor negative — but since i is defined as the square root of -1, by definition, it’s irrelevant.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
by DbacksSkins on Sep 16, 2008 11:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
So
would writing -i just be simply be because it’s easier to write than i^3, or is it just to finish the proof?

Fundamentally, there IS no negative i, but yeah, if you’re doing a proof, you’d probably need -i to exist.

not to beat a dead horse or nit pick
what is the difference between -1a and -a?
All that the -i implies is that there is a 1 in front of it which is negative. We don’t normally write the one, but the negative stays
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
by unnamedDBacksfan on Sep 17, 2008 12:17 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The problem is,
you’re thinking of i in terms of a real, tangible value — but since i is imaginary but is defined as the square root of -1, it HAS no positive or negative value. 32 and -32 are both 9.
-i = i

When I was a kid,
I always disliked Empire because the bad guys win in it, (kinda) and because there aren’t any big starfighter battles. When I bought the trilogy on DVD recently, I watched it again for the first time in years, and Empire was my favorite. When I was young, Return of the Jedi was my favorite because it had the most fighting. But now that I’m old enough to look at the movies critically, ROTJ is pretty much a disappointment.

Haren now doesn’t have a chance to beat his career low for complete game hits.

the question
If the Diamondbacks miss the playoffs, which NL team will you root for?
Chicago Cubs
Los Angeles Dodgers
New York Mets
Philadelphia Phillies

uh, NONE OF THE ABOVE. of course, the az repulsive with its hard on for the cubbies, it’ll be difficult to escape the bandwagon rolling through…

Of those four teams
I guess the Phillies, by default. But I’ll really be cheering for the Rays.

I can't do it
there are plenty of AL teams to root for, I like the White Sox, I want to see the Rays do well, and the Angels have always had a bit of a soft spot in my heart.

Revoked
Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron are the real heroes of the Rebel Alliance.
Well, Han Solo and Chewbacca are good too.

Rogue Squadron
previously Red Group during the first Death Star battle, then formed as the orginal Rogues around the Hoth months. Was apart of the second Red Group in the second Death Star battle, of which two of members formed another Rogue Squadron later to help retake Corescant.

Almost
They weren’t actually reformed to take Coruscant, it was a political move by the Alliance. They did lead the fight to take Coruscant, but it wasn’t until after they’d been active for a while first.

Well I know that
but that was a big mission they took part of that non-EU people would understand. If I started blathering on about Isaard or the Bacta War, it wouldn’t make much sense.
