6/20: Open Game Thread
Seattle Mariners at Atlanta Braves, Jun 20, 2008 4:35 PM PDT
According to Josh Kalk's PITCHf/x data (for which the information is a few days old), Jeff Clement has seen 37 changeups and swung through ten of them, while Jorge Campillo has thrown 87 changeups to lefties and gotten them to miss 18 of them. It's not hard to tell why, either; just look at this location. There's barely anything to hit. It's perfect.
So, yeah, considering the change is Campillo's big weapon against left-handed bats, this matchup may not be Clement's cup of tea. If he plays. I haven't yet determined how much I hate Jim Riggleman. hey neat

They wanted all cartoons to have the same message as The Get-Along Gang
in which kids were always encouraged to agree with the group in order to promote social harmony.
So Eric the Cavalier was added the D&D to disagree with everything the group ever decided, but then later be proven wrong. Every time.

Also I prefer the OG Ninja Turtles comics to the 1980s cartoon. I hated how they dumbed it down and took out all the violence and blood.

I mean relative to the typical 2008 Mariners bench we've seen all season.
I still have some faith in Joh. And Reed can pinch-hit against a righty or come in to play some good defense. And Vidro’s switch-hitting has some value.
I was kind of kidding, but in all seriousness, this bench is better than we’re used to.

though it’s not much of challenge, since only Foster Freeze of the two is any good.
If you are in Vancouver, WA or in and around KC, KS/MO you must go to Sheridan’s Frozen Custard. Frozen Custard is to high dollar premium ice cream, what a blow job is to being shot in the face with a howitzer. Okay, I might be overstating it a bit, but it’s good and you should go there if you get a chance.

For Comparison

In fact I just watched a program last night talking about how proud Native Americans (Indians) were of their Tomahawks. Most of them refused to have their pictures taken without them, and would pass them down from generation to generation. What’s wrong with using a symbol that the group you chose to honor with your team name thought was so important?

Yeah
the minors thing was not that great in FPS. But I don’t think anyone copied it until High Heat baseball like 3 years later.
Then MVP added the option to actually play the minor league games, albeit the rosters seemed crappier than the HH minor league rosters.
One of my goals in life is to work for possibly Sony on the MLB the Show series and try to make it better than it is. I wish I hadn’t delayed in my app process to 2k, I could be working on 2k baseball right now :(

It was just more in line with what I expected from an FF game. Keep in mind I’m a ridiculously thorough, over-levelling kind of guy. There were a couple battles at the end that were insane (Ogopogo, for instance), but it was pretty doable provided you knew the right weapons to equip your party with.
