Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

SnakeBytes + Game Day Thread, 7/12: Derby Talk Edition

Ah, the All Star break.  We've got four days off now, four days to relax and recover from the frankly disappointing play we've seen on the field. 

Recaps:

Are you ready for the home run derby?  I hope so, because once you hit the jump, you're going to get a bunch of links about it.

Chris Young set to lead off Home Run Derby. The batting order will be: Chris Young (ARI), Vernon Wells (TOR), Corey Hart (MIL), Nick Swisher (NYY), Matt Holliday (STL), David Ortiz (BOS), Hanley Ramirez (FLA) and Miguel Cabrera (DET). Open Thread for the Derby, kicking off at 5pm!

 

Star-divide

DBacks News:

Around Baseball:

Chris Young heads into the home run derby this evening- according to Steve Gilbert, CY is nervous.  No worries, Chris.  You just carry all our hopes and dreams on your shoulders.  You know, no pressure.

Good luck CY!

I hope he does well tonight. I’m sure he’ll be nervous yet excited with anticipation. We’ll all be cheering him on :)

ugh

Aaron Boone is covering the derby tonight? And to think I was looking forward to it. The changes the MLB article is proposing would be fine with me, but I don’t actually watch the derby to see people hit home runs, so I’m not a part of their targeted audience, lol.

it's not like they count for anything

so I don’t mind too much the teasing I get :) And don’t pretend like I haven’t already explained this last night – I watch the derby to see players having fun and little children running around in oversized jerseys, Basically, for the “aww!” factor.

Because

it’s fun?

Guh.

sure

But it’s more fun to watch home runs when the pitches aren’t being tossed down the center of the plate, and when it actually means something. So mostly I just watch because people look like they’re having fun, and I like that.

Yeah, I was surprised by LaRoche too

Digging a bit more into the numbers, he gets hurt by a) mediocre defense, and b) the position adjustment for playing 1B. LaRoche’s OPS is almost fifty points below NL average at the position, and that’s before adjusting for the park. But still, worse than replacement? Ouch. Where’s Brandon Allen when you need him…

My phone can play music, and does a pretty rad job of it with pandora and the like. Should I replace my ipod, or invest in a bunch of memory cards to put music on and swap in and out of my phone?

Not much of performance difference.

But it’s made the phone more stylish. My app drawer button has changed (although I doubt yours will), the call log looks better, same with the browser, maps, and the camera actually rotates according to orientation, the speech-to-text button in messaging has moved so it doesn’t take away the comma key, I can use the phone’s flash as a flashlight now, auto updating of Market apps, and Adobe Flash in the browser. There’s also some cool small things like a click unlock sound, the animations when apps close, and the ability to rotate the screen both ways, instead of counterclockwise, it also rotates clockwise… stuff like that.

I’m happy, but that’s because my expectations weren’t very high for it.

So....

Vin Scully best in the business? Maybe 5 years ago but the man has lost it. His ancient butt has lost it. Dudes that did these rankings are living in the past. The Dodgers’ road guys may be the best in the business (they’re good) but not Vin Scully.

Just my opinion

yeah I know

I’m just living in the present with his media berating this year. There have been a couple times where he’s snapped against the media and that annoys me.

They don't have a "Hit It Here" magic spot?

For someone to win a lot of money if it hits that spot?

they should make them

run the bases after hitting the home runs. then they could complain about being tired.

by jinnah on Jul 12, 2010 10:36 PM EDT reply actions  

That would take forever

Especially given how many of them would feel the need to stop and watch the home run. =)

So long, ol' Muppet arms.

by kishi on Jul 12, 2010 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

eh

it already takes forever. lower it to 5 outs and make ’em run? also, blindfold them. this could be interesting.

by jinnah on Jul 12, 2010 10:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maybe not blindfold

But spin ‘em around before hand to make ’em dizzy. And they have to run all the way around the bases without falling over, or it doesn’t count.

Was Chris Berman too busy telling a story no one cared about to pay attention to the actual derby there?

I just checked my profile, and apparently my 30,000th comment on the ’Pit was somewhere in this thread.

I hope it was something good.

We should sign Jennie Finch

At least she only gives up homers to players who were good at some point.

Home run, Jennie Finch

So, maybe she could fill in at first if we trade LaRoche.
