Gameday Open Thread / Giants @ Cubs

Submitted by Rob G. on
I see the spring training schedule makers are just as whack as the regular season ones. The Cubs and Giants square-off for the third time this young Cactus Leage season with Ted Lilly slated to start against Matt Cain.

OK how do I get to parachat now? [too dumb to do my taxes too.] Santo, after Pie homer: Felix is more erect at the plate. I guess *guys* dig the long ball?

Hendry's Comments during the ballgame today: Hendry said, DeRosa is back...maybe a week before he plays in a game though [Quade does it again]...he was working with Soriano on using both hands to catch flyballs. Result: Soriano took a ball off the tip of his barehand. Marquis "story" not even a story...he was caught in an interview situation where anything he said would be wrong. If he said he was okay with going to the bullpen it would sound like he wasn't really ready to compete for a spot in the rotation. He told Lou when he arrived that Theriot was the kind of player he would love. It took a while but he does. Thinks Kosuke is already a "good fit" with the Cubs. And reiterated how the Cubs organization had been enamored with Fukudome since the Olympics.

ugg...my head still cant read the new site quickly and figure out the flow. oddly...or not...ive grown be able to read the msg's as a linear mass rather than nested comments by topic within threads. it doesnt help that when people go offtopic they dont change the subject. took a while to get used to the last MVN change so i'll "get it" one day. oddly its taking me more time to figure out the flow of things. also soriano's expected to return within a week or less according to da' paper.

okay...i think its the font that's bugging me after skimming quickly through old-TCR and new-TCR. this is a more rounded font on the new site...also thinner/lighter. or it might be slightly smaller or less expressed, but the same font. i dunno, im not an expert in design/art/fonts/etc. either way i think that's one of the things keeping me from scanning it. the old site had a similar sans-serif font style, but it seemed to present itself bolder. *shrug*

I agree with Crunch; the new font is lighter and harder to scan through than the old. If you increase the font as Rob G suggested ('Ctl +' for PC) then it is better, but it doesn't "scan" as well. Good thing crunch, carlosrubi and I aren't calling balls and strikes! Trying to remember to reply to the specific comment so I posted this again.

Hey Crunch: Have you tried switching to the flat view via the drop down at the top of the comments? It presents the comments in linear order. It can still be confusing sometimes when people using the threaded view respond directly to other comments w/o quoting or referencing, but it's certainly readable.

Submitted by demale on Sun, 03/02/2008 - 03:27 pm

My turn to be the TCR team "doctor," maybe, though I don't even play one on TV. My kid had the DeRosa condition and the same fix, but this was almost ten years ago, thus it is much more routine now than "state of the art" anymore. My guess is this was supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which is not atrial fibrillation nor Wolf-Parkinson-White. I had several "episodes" of it myself when a teen, so there is probably a genetic component for propensity. It is disconcerting, but not immediately life-threatening, unless you persist for several days with a pulse of 180-220 (not kidding), in which case they would use the meds to stave off cardiac arrest before it got that far. You do sorta feel weird, and want to sit down.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

  • crunch (view)

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
