Gameday Thread: 3/21 vs.Giants SpringTrainingFestApaloozaThon

Since I think many of the usual suspects will be down at Tucson Electric Park this afternoon, tailgating and game-watching, I do not know how many comments this will get. It might just be me through Mrs. SnakePit's phone. But there should be occasional game updates inside... We'll be in the parking lot from 11am, as close to the main gate as possible. Look for the blue PT cruiser with the obvious number-plate!

Lineup after the jump...

Star-divide

  1. Conor Jackson/LF
  2. Stephen Drew/SS
  3. Justin Upton/RF
  4. Adam LaRoche/1B
  5. Mark Reynolds/3B
  6. Kelly Johnson/2B
  7. Miguel Montero/C
  8. Chris Young/CF
  9. Edwin Jackson/RHP

Again, looks close to the starting eight for us, though the look this time is different, with Jackson and Drew flip-flopped at the top. And with that, hit the road!

Have fun!

Wish I was there. Stupid job paying me stupid money to work today.

Looks like a great day in the making. . .

the regular lineup looks in place today, so we should get a better impression of the team’s offensive potential.

If I can remember to turn it on,

I’ll listen to the online radio, so make sure you guys yell really obnoxious things so we can hear you!

Not surprised

but does it appear that spring training attendance is up sharply this year?

by NASCARbernet on Mar 21, 2010 5:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

I would agree

There also seems to be a lot more fans from other cities not called Chicago too.

You can tell now, in these games,

that managers are starting to play for the win, rather than try to get their pitch counts up and letting them get out of the jams. Maybe Jackson had hit his count, who knows; and in this instance, it was also a test for Rosales to allow him to get out of it.

by snakecharmer on Mar 21, 2010 5:26 PM EDT reply actions  

agree, I think for the most part

every manager knows what their line up is. About two weeks away from opening day, it’s time to get the teams in that winning frame of mind.

6th inning

offense: fail.

Lets get those all of those hitting yips and pitching kinks out now, so when the season begins the ’Backs can start off hot.

D'Backs home run

Bailey. Haven’t heard of him before, but it’s second.

by NASCARbernet on Mar 21, 2010 5:59 PM EDT reply actions  

He's sort of

our AAAA power guy. He replaced Josh Whitesell.

One of the prediction systems, I don’t recall which, predicted him to have a huge year this year for us, but somehow I doubt that…

Victor went to bed at 6 a.m. after finishing Mad Men Season 1.

He woke up around 1:30, hit the Chronicles, saw what was going down and cussed himself out silly.

your sarcastic comments

regarding heilman’s success today have been duly noted. you “d’back fans” almost seem to be rooting against him.. nice job there…

Oh shut your mouth its redicoulous.

Can you do anything other than go on and on about Heilman. If you dont have anything to contribute then don’t post. I’m sick and tired of you going on and on like a broken record.

Did the back page research.

because we don’t want Aaron to do well. We’re being sarcastic because Aaron Heilman is the only thing you ever talk about.

Doesn't sound like it was that close

Just that it was over the outfielder’s head, I thought.
