2008 Seattle Mariners in 2:18

So I got off work this morning with a six pack of beer and a lot of free time on my hands. I decided to rip off Brett's demo video idea and do a little 2008 summary. This took like 6 hours to make, even though the quality is only average. It started out as an overall defensive clip reel (the first minute is basically all from last night's game), but it quickly evolved into a Raul fest.

- I spent much of this time scrolling through game threads finding .gif files of defensive blunders. This video is mostly the captures that Jeff, JI, and others have posted throughout this season. I also took a couple images from previous threads.. not sure where the original credit goes. Basically I just compiled a bunch of shit from here and put it together with a snazzy song.

- This is also an unfinished project. The last part of the video ends sort of abruptly, hopefully Raul and others will provide some more quality defense so I can add on to the video. There's a couple other things I've noticed which need to be fixed eventually, hopefully I can get some more good footage.

- Again, the quality ranges from good to not so good, I'll eventually get around to making another draft which will be more polished.

- The other reason it took so long is because I suck at Final Cut Pro and have not used it in years. It took me way too long to figure out how to do an audio fade out.

- Once I do a more 'final draft', I think I'm going to add some titles or clips near the start (I need McLaren or Bavasi talking about how they think our defense should be one of the best in the league).

 

So yeah. I'm not really trying to "get hits" on youtube or whatever, but I don't really care if you spread the link. It's kind of shitty, but really hilarious (to me after six beers, at least). Again, thanks to Jeff for all the awesome .gif files, as well as everyone else who has posted things over this season that I stole for this clip video. Suggestions welcome. Also, links to more defensive blunder images that I may have missed are also more than welcome. Word.

Hmm.. for some reason the video is really tiny.

This is most likely because my source were tiny animated .gif files. If I could figure out how to make the video bigger it would look like shit I assume.

Someone with MLB.tv and free time

should really start pulling these clips off the net and make them available so we can have a good ole fashion edit off.

Seattle Mariners 2:18 - 29

And unto the blogosphere in Seattle write; These things saith the Jeff, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

“I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

“Notwithstanding I have a few things for thee, because thou sufferest that man Bavasi, which calleth himself a General Manager, to teach and to seduce my Mariners to commit errors, and to swing at all bending pitches out of the strike zone.

"And I gave Bavasi space to repent of his seductions; and he repented not.
"Behold, I will cast him into a bed, and them that commit errors and swing at bad pitches with him into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
"And I will DFA with no regard to chemistry; and all the baseball teams shall know that I am he which searcheth the stats and the scouts: and I will give unto every one according to their works.

“unto you I say, and unto the rest in the blogosphere, which have not supported Bavasi as they speak; I will put upon you none of their burden.

"But that which ye have faith - hold fast till I come.
"And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the Mariners:
"And he shall rule the Mariners with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall veterans be broken to shivers.
"And I will give him the World Series Win."
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Jeff saith unto the blogosphere"
