    Your lineup in that previous post is my idea of a perfect lineup too. Great take there. I have no clue how I missed it earlier in the thread.

    Good Game but dont get ya hopes up

    "The winner of the first game in a series ultimately takes the series 79% of the time." I'll take the Suns odds over the Lakers right now.

    %$#@& Rookies

    I can see that. I agree that they need someone that is keen on fundamentals. They also need someone willing to use statistics to his advantage and use the best lineup based on numbers not hunches and be firm in those decisions. I think that these rookies are going to be just fine in spite of...

    %$#@& Rookies

    I completely understand your point. At least we are both on the Melvin should go bandwagon. I just don't worry about both Hale and Gibson honestly. This is a very young team and I don't know if a rookie manager is the ideal situation on top of that.

    Your comment that he has more coaching/playing experience compared to Melivin when he took the Mariners job isn't correct. Melvin played for 10 years and coached for 6 years not to mention three years spent as a scout and one as an assistant GM. Gibson played for 16 seasons and has coached for 3...

    I think that the advantage to Chip Hale being manager of this team is that he knows the personnel from coaching them in the minors. I think that management needs to be careful. With younger players overly intense managers aren't always the best thing. It depends on how a majority of the young...

    You are probably right about Drew not being good at lead off. Ideally I think he is a great number 2 or 3 hitter and if the power develops the way the organization thinks it will then he eventually could be a number 4 guy too. The ideal leadoff guy is Callaspo when he is in the lineup and Young...

    In no way was I trying to defend Melvin's managing. Honestly Melvin is a terrible manager. I was just saying that you can't get down on these young guys based on this young season. You can blame Melvin all you want but these guys are going to have ebs and flows as the season moves along. My...

    Step back from the ledge. This team is 10-7, off to one of its best starts in years and you are freaking out. You can't judge these guys on 40 to 50 at bats when they will finish the year with 500 to 600 abs. They are winning even with the young guys not hitting well just imagine when they do...

    This is why baseball is America's Pasttime

    It is one of the more fan friendly major sports. Another example of this is the Nationals wearing the VT caps in their game against the Braves. I don't think any other sport would take a fans suggestion and use a hat that wasn't an official part of their uniform. Baseball gets it with that type...

    Where can we find one?

    This team is 9 and 4 and has scored a decent amount of runs. I don't think you need to do anything to mess up chemistry or anything right now. It would be ridiculous to make Tony Clark the everyday first baseman. Jackson had a great average and on base percentage last season and will get on...

    Dbacks vs. Nationals series thread

    I don't like him. His play in the outfield leaves something to be desired. He isn't fundamentally sound on defense.

    All the more reason not to trade him. He is a top young talent and deserves more time then this to decide his future with the club.

    Ugly Peformances all around...

    The problem is the fielding mistakes were mostly from the veteran Byrnes. And I don't think you can claim there was a general sense of apathy.

    Daron Sutton

    I think the protrade thing would be more interesting if they explained more indepth how it is calculated. It is an interesting thing but annoying how many times they show it in the game.

    Daron Sutton

    Sutton is a great tv guy. I love that he doesn't seem like he is better than the fans like Thom did. Sutton is a baseball fan and a baseball guy and i flat out enjoy a guy who enjoys the games. He and Grace have fantastic chemistry and its fun.

    The psp is amazing for sports games so if thats what you are looking for go for it.

    Carlos Quentin had an MRI on his shoulder. Let's hope it's not serious

    It was probably as much quentin wanting to get back into action as much as it was Melvin forcing out there.

    Quentin tweaks shoulder, unlikely for Opening Day Scott Bordow, Tribune The chances of Diamondbacks right fielder Carlos Quentin being ready for Opening Day diminished Thursday when he tweaked his injured right shoulder in a Cactus League game against the Chicago Cubs.
