    Game #47 Seattle Mariners @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/12/20

    Yup, with the bases loaded and no one out, and the D-backs down by five, they scored two, reloaded the bases and left them loaded. And the Mariners with a 2-run HR in the 5th for a 7-2 lead. After a, gasp, 2-game winning streak, the D-backs are back to . . . being the D-backs.

    Game #47 Seattle Mariners @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/12/20

    The League has adjusted to Gallen. Does the coaching staff have the talent to help Gallen adjust to that? They just showed a clip of Gonzo who, at age 39, became the first batter ever to hit 50 doubles in a season at that age. If only Lovullo would encourage the current D-backs to make the...

    Game #46 Seattle Mariners @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/11/20

    I see that Seattle tightened it up to 4-3 starting the 9th.

    Mercifully this final season game ends for the Mercury. They lose 83-60. Next, the playoffs. Go, Mighty Mercury!

    Skylar is starting the 2nd half, but Diana is not. They were checking her finger. She might not return. But it's OK if she doesn't aggravate it. Skylar checks out two minutes into the quarter. They have only 3 players in reserve.

    At the half, Seattle is up by , 50-26. I'd say play the subs, but we don't have five players on the bench.

    I shouldn't have mentioned an injury. Playing with the subs, Skylar rolls her ankle.

    Seattle up 37-19 midway through the 2nd quarter. Then 39-19. The important thing now, Mercury, is no injuries in this final regular season game.

    Seatle with a 22-14 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. They are the best team in the league. This will be a very difficult game for the Mercury to win. Their motivation is to get the 4th spot in the playoffs.

    And Escobar, our starting 3B, of course, is playing 2B. Well, I'm switching to the Mercury game. Buh bye.

    Game #46 Seattle Mariners @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/11/20

    And, or our new lefty pitcher, obtained for Starling, two errors -- bad throws by Ahmed, then Walker -- put a runner on 2B. Welcome to the Diamondbacks. Steve and Bob are commenting about how bad the fielding has been. There is no excuse for that! This team is uninspired. Caleb Smith gets two...

    Game #46 Seattle Mariners @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/11/20

    Everyone has to have his turn to be a starter.:sarcasm: The lineup cards that Torey makes weeks in advance must be a mess with the current personnel changes. I hate :sarcasm: , but there is nothing else left. Dream sequence . . . You've accumulated all of your designated time off, Torey...

    Game #46 Seattle Mariners @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/11/20

    Not strange when you consider Ginkel's performance. I understand the Manager being positive about his players, but not going overboard while they are underperforming. It is a prime example of why Torey is failing. Inconsistency in just about everything he says and does. Everyday is a new...

    OK. I exaggerated. :cool: I remember a song back in the '50's, I'm gonna get you some night in Alaska Where nights are six months long. I visited Anchorage and Denali when most of the 24 hours were daylight.

    The 2019-2020 Around the NBA thread

    Scientists and doctors are predicting there will be a worldwide second wave of the pandemic. Made more complex by the regular virus season. And that an inoculation would probably not be ready and available to all of the public until next year. Looking at the big picture, should the priority...

    In the NBA, I wouldn't be happy if our top two scorers are Guards. In the WNBA, that's cool!

    Game #45 Los Angeles Dodgers @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/10/20

    Here's the good news. We held them scoreless, except for the MadBum back-to-back solo HR's. Our long relief pitcher held them scoreless for 3 1/3 (despite giving up 4 walks). Riley Smith just arrived and has more wins than MadBum. And our finisher closed it out for the final 2/3 (without the...

    Game #45 Los Angeles Dodgers @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/10/20

    Mookie Betts reminded his manager that he came up through the Red Sox organization as a 2B and volunteered to play the position if necessary. So he is playing 2B today. As Steve said, the strongest outfield arm in baseball is playing 2B, where you can toss the ball to 1B. Dave Roberts is...

    Game #44 Los Angeles Dodgers @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/09/20

    Now that we are officially in rebuilding mode, it comes down to the question . . . Does Torey Lovullo have the skill to rebuild a new young team? The answer is 'no'! Not the way he haphazardly treats each game as a new beginning. And not with his passive demeanor. To blame it on his coaching...

    The D-backs, with this extra inning loss, is up to -- I mean down to -- 2 & 18 in their last 20 games. Tomorrow's game is also at 6:30. MadBum pitches.

    Game #44 Los Angeles Dodgers @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/09/20

    As a Point Guard who can score, the most important part of her joining the Mercury was to take pressure off Diana Taurasi, who is getting on in years, as both a playmaker and a scorer.

    2020 Phoenix Mercury Regular Season Thread

    I would suggest that it's not surprising that it turned into a close game. They beat us in the previous game. And I think that the Mercury had to use only seven players in each game. And DT is not getting any younger. And we had clinched a playoff spot so, although you want to win, it is not...

    Game #44 Los Angeles Dodgers @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 09/09/20

    It really doesn't matter who threw in the towel. Having said that, if the team didn't play so pathetically, it would not have happened. It all comes down to what goes on between the lines. And that falls on Lovullo, and on Hazen for looking the other way. And then, yes, on Kendrick and his...
