Lookout Landing

Essentially, Cain has a slightly greater flyball tendency that will play better in AT&T and the Phillies lineup is stacked with lefties

athd.net feed is not working.

Damnit.

I have to stream the Hawks and Sounders, so I have some links.

That is, no problem.

I'm trying to figure out which team has the most black players and I came across a fun tidbit:

MLB considers Lou Piniella “of color.” Does anybody know which team has the most brothers?

Oh?

Wikipedia, which is obviously infallible, says Piniella is Spanish, but not Hispanic. But Grady Sizemore is also listed as African American. It all gets rather confusing after a certain point.

I'm cool with Lou being spanish, but "of color?"

Maybe we should end this now.

He's a colourful character.

rec'd

for being English.

I'm not, I merely learned how to read/spell there.

Where's the double steal?!?

Only one out. They were waiting for a strikeout.

joey90 - October 17, 2010 reply

A larger strike zone today.

Sweeney was pissed!

Gameday says strike.

I don't trust anything a computer says...

Huh?

It’s not like Gameday is Skynet or anything.

But MLB does watch everything we do.

Not to worry. They don't have instant replay to cover most of it.

ThundaPC - October 17, 2010 reply

Fail

My computer is freaking out

See? Skynet.

I'm convinced you got the correct John Connor, he just screwed up his time jump.

Hmmm....

No, too early.

I'd be willing to wager that Sanchez didn't want the 1st inning to go like this.

Mariner John - October 17, 2010 reply

That was not a ball.

Nice job Raul.

What the hell kind of route was that?

He's taking notes from Raul.

Pat or Raul?

I choose The Bat. Although Raul does have a nice little piece of my heart.

Werth looks like white trash.

I bet he wears cuttoffs with no front pockets.

Fontenot is doing his best Conrad impression.

I already miss the TBS presentation.

I liked having their pitch-FX-like stuff in the bottom right.

Waivers!

Oh My God.

Cody Ross is amazing.

drblacknwhite - October 17, 2010 reply

Cody Fucking Ross.

I love baseball.

Droid Rage - October 17, 2010 reply

I was out walking to get some dinner when it happened.

I saw the score on the restaurant TV and thought, “huh, how’d that happen?”

Cody Fucking Ross. I should have known.

It's what I love about playoff baseball.

Everyone writes up the obvious story lines ahead of time but SSS of 5 or 7 games make for surprise heroes almost every year.

Droid Rage - October 17, 2010 reply

I did not realize it was a no hitter.

Don't go down with your second best pitch.

Keep throwing fastballs to Cody Ross.

Droid Rage - October 17, 2010 reply

That was gross Fox. WTF?

I mean jesus christ, did we really need an extreme closeup of Lincecum filing off a blister on his finger?

Did I really just read a sign that said " This Is Phunder"?

What the fuck does that even mean?

Wilder. - October 17, 2010 reply

You mean, what the phuck does that mean, right?

JAH - October 17, 2010 reply

This makes me want to eat pho.

Presumably,

it’s a portmanteau of “fun” and “thunder”, for the noise they’re making, with a Phillies spin on it ala the Phanatic.

Unless they’ve been drinking beyond reasonable capacities, and then it might be a portmanteau of “Phillies” and “chunder”.

JY - October 17, 2010 via mobile reply

Willie Mays!

oh shit, Cody Fucking Ross is up.

JY - October 17, 2010 via mobile reply

The crowd was scared on that fly ball

I was hopeful for a second there.

Cody Ross bats right despite throwing left, and so do I, so he makes me feel less useless baseball-wise by association.

JY - October 17, 2010 via mobile reply

How does this happen?

Also, I love that Timmt bats lefty.

Or maybe Timmy.

No idea.

I think it’s because when I started playing pick-up games in the neighborhood, all my friends batted RH

JY - October 17, 2010 via mobile reply

Spanish broadcast. O.k., sure.

Maybe I should just pay the $10 for the playoff broadcast.

Cliff Lee tomorrow night and everything

Anyone here have that MLB playoff package?

How’s that working? After hearing all the complaints the last few years regarding MLB internet broadcasts, I’m hesitant to shell out for their product. But those problems may not be an issue any longer.

It's bullshit that it's not part of the mlb.tv package.

If you're buying it for the tv coverage be aware that they don't edit the feed.

You get to choose camera angles instead, which can make it difficult to follow if it’s the only way you’re following the game. If it’s for radio, I not familiar with any problems with it.

drblacknwhite - October 17, 2010 reply

Do they have any angles that give a decent angle of the entire infield?

Pitcher/catcher, covering maybe the infield positions? Looks like you can select up to 4 different shots, but if they’re all locked onto small individual parts of the field, that might kind of be difficult to follow the action.

That comment by Goose is exactly why I shy away from their products.

To be fair, mlb.tv(sans opening day) was pretty damn good this year. I barely had any problems all season.

But still. its bullshit.

I think there's one from behind home plate that covers the infield.

But I’m not sure as I didn’t get it this year.

drblacknwhite - October 17, 2010 reply

It's $10, suddenly I feel like a cheapskate.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

It’s different for each of us.

Giants fucked that up.

Nice piece of baserunning. Weird to see the pitcher running the bases.

Hey, there's a local boy.

wazzu93 - October 17, 2010 reply

Balls.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Again a manager has over managed an inning

surely letting a pitcher go a whole innings and maybe get into a groove will have somewhat better results.

aussie_chop - October 17, 2010 reply

Now THAT's how you manage an inning.

I’ve just fallen for Roy Owalt.

truemsfan - October 17, 2010 reply

Ha, all those SF pitching freaks dye their beards.

wazzu93 - October 17, 2010 reply

Sergio Romo's chin is wearing a toupee fitted for a squirrel.

Or so gameday would lead me to believe.

This Cody Ross at-bat does not have the thrill of previous Cody Ross at-bats.
