7/6: Open Game Thread, Part 2

Why settle for nine innings of the Mariners when you can have more than nine innings of the Mariners?

Are Extra inning games worth it?

Is there any data out there that shows the effects on a team playing a prolonged extra inning game?

Is it always worth fighting for the win or at some point does the usage of pitchers become a detriment to the team?

I am interested.

Never give up.

I can't think of any studies off the top of my head

but any effect is likely to be less significant than the loss you incur by giving up in extra innings.

Riggleman doesn't want to send him to the plate until there are two outs.

That way when he hits a homer he won’t kill a rally.

For whom is he going to play in the ASG?

Or isn’t he nominated? I don’t know, are the nominations already published?

Horrible luck there...

Perfect Throw…

Nothing you can do about that.

Piniella.

Melvin aside from the pitch counts.

Based on what?

When he had crappy teams (see-Devil Rays) they stayed crappy. And his bullpen management was particularly great. How long was Bobby Ayala closer for?

I don't have time to go into this.

But he was good. No manager does everything how we’d like, but he did more better than most.

If they score a run...

Fuck Yuniesky Betancourt.

Seriously, Jesus Christ how can you ever swing at the first pitch from a guy who only throws suck pitches?

Want to be more angry?

Watch the Yankees/Boston game on ESPN WITH THE SOUND ON.

Simple groundball (with Crisp not running out of the box because he didn’t know where it went) to Jeter and the douchebag lauds the great play he just made!

Oh, and Joba is pitching…fuck this.

FUCK BEES

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE EVOLUTIONARY BENEFIT OF BEING ABLE TO STING AFTER YOU’RE DEAD

by Jeff on Jul 6, 2008 6:32 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Maybe they're like the Sammael creatures in Hellboy

If they sting you when they die, the stinger can deposit eggs into your skin that will hatch as soon as another bee is killed.

He gave up a wild pitch

but that was overshadowed by him getting Pudge to swing and miss at a “fastball.”

Believe it or not I actually love watching baseball games

Its just that this team is so boring that I can’t help but go off topic.

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 7:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Boring teams spawn off-topic discussion.

For entertaining baseball, I watch the Rays.

So what's up with Baker lately?

It seems like he’s hardly covering the team.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:22 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Maybe it's just my computer,

but on the bottom of the page under “Overlords” there are only Gomez, Jeff, and Devin.

I’d screenshot it but I’m not sure how.

What interests me more in the standings is the fact that the Giants are just 5 games back of Arizona.

Some small demented part of me wants them to not only win the division, but to ride that Cain and Lincecum to a World Series title. Because how hilarious would that be?

They have Dogfish Head 90-Minute at the BevMo in Mission Valley. There were two four-packs, and I left one for you. It’s hiding on the back of the shelf.

by Teej on Jul 6, 2008 10:45 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I've heard but yet to confirm that they also have it at Costplus.

There’s locations all over, I’m going to try the Temecula and Escondido ones as soon as I get back from Seattle
