Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Gameday Thread, 3/10: vs. Los Angeles on MLB Network

Woo-hoo! Televisied Diamondbacks! Haven't seen this since... Well, technically, I suppose last night, when I was watching the Classic Diamondbacks game on Fox Sports Arizona - Sept 5, 2001, with Curt Schilling beating the Giants and... Russ Ortiz. You'll understand why I had to turn that one off pretty quick. But anyway, make it televised 2010 Diamondbacks, and we are so there. The blackout has been lifted in the local television market for MLB Network's simulcast of the game at Camelback Ranch against the Dodgers, with first pitch at 1:05 pm, so you've got no excuse for not watching it. Except for this accursed wage-slavery thing, which means I'll have to Tivo it. So no spoilers in the comments, please. :-)

Let's just hope it's decent weather. The forecast is good with an expected high of 62 degrees and sun, which will be a good bit better than it has been. Line-ups and other stuff after the jump.

Star-divide

  1. Abreu SS 
  2. Parra CF 
  3. Jackson LF 
  4. Reynolds 3B 
  5. Montero C 
  6. Snyder DH 
  7. Macias RF 
  8. Ryal 1B 
  9. Ojeda 2B 
  10. Haren P (not batting)

Ok, I lied about the line-ups, as I haven't seen them published anywhere yet. If any editor sees them in the usual places e.g. Nick's blog, please feel free to update the post, as I am probably not going to be around to do so in a timely manner. Not certain who'll be commentating - presumably it isn't the usual Grace/Sutton pairing, since the game is not on Fox Sports AZ. MLB Network will carry Fox Sports Prime's call of the game (they're the posH version of Fox Sports West), and I don't know who does their play-by-play. I feel somewhat hard done by, after discovering that of the Dodgers' 31 spring games, no less than twenty are televised, which makes the mere half-dozen we see of the D-backs, somewhat small beer. [Mmm... Beer...]

Couple of news snippets. Steve Gilbert says Billy Buckner apprears intensely focused on making the rotation. AJ Hinch says, "You can just tell by the way he's going about his work. He's into the competition. I can see the focus. I can see it matters to him. He's competing and he's not taking anything for granted." Buckner even paid for his own hotel room in Phoenix on Monday night, so he could focus on his start against the Reds. His good September starts seem to have been a help. Said Buckner, "No matter what your job is or what you do, whenever you start to do well at it and get praise from others around you about it, you start to feel better about yourself. And it just builds and builds, and you start to expect more from yourself, and you put more into it - and you have more fun with it."

Is Brandon Allen fixed? Nick Piecoro thinks he could be: "Everyone from opposing scouts to team executives have commented on Allen's impressive batting practice sessions, which have translated into success in games." The reason is because Allen has gone back to being more upright in his stance, as he was in Double-A . It's a change suggested by hittng coach Jack Howell: "It's not really rocket science, but I just saw some video and asked him to try going back to who he was before we got him, That's typical of a lot of young hitters, especially when you move around a little bit and then go to a different club. You try some different things and you kind of forget who you are."

Scheduled pitchers for us

After Haren, it’s Wes Roemer, Chad Qualls, Zach Kroenke, Josh Ellis, and Bob Howry. Ellis is the younger brother of the Dodgers’ catcher, who got the call thanks to Russell Martin’s strained groin.

The first season of Leverage consisted of 13 episodes, which writers John Rogers and Chris Downey and producer Dean Devlin intended to be a complete story should the series not be renewed. The second season, for which production moved from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon,2 ran in two parts: a nine-episode summer season which premiered on July 15, 2009, followed by a further six episodes the following winter. On August 27, 2009, TNT announced that Leverage has been renewed for a fifteen-episode third season beginning in Summer 2010.3

Do they do extra innings in ST?

Or do they just say, “Good game. See ya.”

Normally, they end in a tie

Sometimes they go 10, but not much further.

Sometimes they do

It depends on who has players left.

With much of the Dodgers roster flying across the ocean right now, I’d suspect they might just stop after nine.

Do they fly British aircraft out of Davis-Monthan?

If you're interested,

you should come down for a ST game and the air show. Now that Luke and Davis-Monthan are switching off, the air show is at DM this year.

We’re getting a ride down, so we probably wouldn’t be able to do the air show, too, unfortunately.

Altho, honestly,

it could have been a Phantom instead. The USAF Heritage Flight always practices here every spring.

The other day at work I saw the Mustang and Phantom. I absolutely LOVE both of those planes!!

And I love both the Tornado and the Phantom. GOTTA love those loud-as-shit 1970s fighters.

You'd be surprised

how quiet a Raptor is compared to a Phantom. Supercruise or not, the F-22 compared to the Phantom sounds like my Focus compared to a ’Vette.

They’re trying to get the F-35 for Luke, and I’ve heard those things are awful loud.

Yeah.

They’re considering it for DM as well.

My sister would have an airplane orgasm if we got the F-35 here. She absolutely LOVES the JSF.

But, then again, she pretty much loves ALL high performance jets. One day at Raytheon, there were a bunch of F/A-18 pilots touring, so she txted me and said she was gonna go find a husband.
