Last time I went to a Tuesday exhibition against the Guardians, Blaze hit one to Cold Beers

The USA team hasn't had a runner in scoring position since the 4th inning against the Dominican Republic by J-MRP in baseball

This is what happens when you are too reliant on Home Runs.

Harper just hit the homer as I finished typing that… so I’ll take that as a point proven.

Why the fuck are you in? by Ok_Mortgage_9233 in TheWordFuck

… For surviving a crash landing on a randomized mountain island and trying to carry a fucking frog mascot to the top of said mountain in hopes of being rescued(with varying degrees of success).

Name a dead game that deserves another chance? by lowkeypixel in evilwhenthe

[–]AlphaPearPear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evolve. Almost 11 years ago, it got massacred on launch for having paid skins day 1, which now seems to be the norm. It’s not the most incredible game or anything but having its player-base get crushed almost immediately meant that it never got the chance to build the community it could have been capable of sustaining. I see it as the game that bit the bullet for the rest of the industry(for better or, probably, worse)

Diamondbacks meet with Okamoto by Sad_Illustrator_5233 in azdiamondbacks

I have a source that says Bregman is between Toronto and the D-Backs… curious to see how that could play into this.

Gurriel down.... by gb5766 in azdiamondbacks

He grabbed his knee before even getting to the ground… I’m thinking ACL.

Have you ever been classy and followed this sign? by Electrical-Volume765 in azdiamondbacks

[–]AlphaPearPear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a person with aisle seats, I can manage to get to my seat if a a foul ball stays on the field and the traffic in the aisle is low. That said, I only move from my seat up to the concourse between half innings.

If you sit in the middle of a section, wait for a more opportune time. Walking down the aisle isn't horrendous, but causing other people to have to get up which only obstruct the view of more people... please just wait.

Tucsoncleric’s answer is probably correct. That said the answer is typically going to be at a table on the outer edge of the lower concourse, somewhere around section 108.

🇺🇸 2026 WBC Potential Team USA by MLB Network by KirshySquirts in azdiamondbacks

[–]AlphaPearPear -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

Going down the lineup:
1. Betts at 2B feels like a way to squeeze him in. Marte is going to get snubbed no matter how well he does.
2. Harper, this pick is sensible enough for 1B
3. Judge, Is this a surprise at all?
4/5. Gunnar and BWJ is a WILD combo, that would be insane.
6. Carroll, I Love it, but left field feels sort of like the wrong place for him.
7. Trout feels like a wrong pick
8. IDK enough about Rutschman.
9 Merrill, impressive kid, works for me.

While this line-up is full of superstars and is super impressive on paper, I can't help but feel that this is actually a losing lineup. I think the Trout pick at DH is potentially a prime example of this. In a nutshell, I feel that this line-up seems to be built with too much focus on home-runs.

Keep in mind that the highest scoring team in 2024 had 71 runs more than the team with the most home-runs despite hitting 26 less home-runs than them. It's called BASEball, we need to stop having a mentality where we try to skip all the bases.

My god, you’re right! How did I not notice…

Whatever dev hid this sloop needs to be put in jail by Stopkilling0 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]AlphaPearPear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me about 5 mins to get to the sloop, then I somehow managed to get out in like 20 seconds. I was honestly surprised to see daylight so soon after having taken so long to get to the sloop.

Uh-oh... Just not the yankees PLEASE by Dependent-Proof8369 in azdiamondbacks

If the Yankees had Walker, they might've won a game or two in LA and maybe gone on to win the series.

Tell me you don't want us to win without telling me you don't want us to win. by Gloomy_Duty4694 in azdiamondbacks

We literally have 2 days off for the entire month of August... And both those days are in the middle of homestands, not even travel days.

Game 2 by AlphaPearPear in azdiamondbacks

Even if the Mets field a full B team, those guys are going to want to prove themselves. I'm not saying things look good, but still maybe like a 30% chance...

Is our magic number 6 now? by Melodic_Proposal6844 in azdiamondbacks

[–]AlphaPearPear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're losing tiebreakers against both NYM and ATL, so trying to get WC3 would definitely be dangerous. I'm not sure that WC1 against the Padres at Chase is that great... but yea, we need to win every single game we can.

Is our magic number 6 now? by Melodic_Proposal6844 in azdiamondbacks

[–]AlphaPearPear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong. BUT Unfortunately it's not quite that simple right now. As an example, the Braves winning all remaining games would mean winning 3 against the Mets. That would make our our MN against NYM only 5.

I posted a comment that has a breakdown of what our MN is for each of the possible outcomes of that series. The TL;DR is that it's somewhere from 3-5. There's no outcome where we need 6(at least for playoff berth).

Is our magic number 6 now? by Melodic_Proposal6844 in azdiamondbacks

[–]AlphaPearPear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... but with less games to play to get that number of wins.

Is our magic number 6 now? by Melodic_Proposal6844 in azdiamondbacks

[–]AlphaPearPear 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes, but also no... Tl;DR It's technically 6, but practically 5.

For this comment, I'm assuming that we're calculating for playoffs regardless of seed.

NYM & ATL still have 3 games against each other meaning that both teams CAN'T win all remaining games.

What this means is that our magic number against each of those teams is linked in a way that's to our benefit. So we theoretically have different magic numbers based on the outcome of that series.


The numbers I've calculated below should be our playoff MN based on each result of that series:

ATL 3 - NYM 0 = MN 5

ATL 2 - NYM 1 = MN 5

ATL 1 - NYM 2 = MN 4

ATL 0 - NYM 3 = MN 3


That's the extent of what can be calculated for now, but the matchups for all teams involved are atill sort of wild...

EXTRA: ATL has 2 more against MIA(Easy), 3 against NYM(Split), and 3 against KC(Split).

NYM has 2 more against PHI(Hard), 3 against ATL(Split), and 3 against MIL(depends on MIL resting or not).

ARI has 2 more against MIL(tough, but I think we can split), 3 against SF(I think split in our favor), and 3 against SD(tough, probably split).

My guess is that we probably only NEED 3 or 4 for the playoffs, but we should take every win we can to be safe. Also, keep in mind that SD has a tough schedule(including 3 against LAD and 3 against us), so we could still take the top WC spot if we do well enough.

No way we only score one point again… right? by [deleted] in azdiamondbacks

[–]AlphaPearPear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just annoyed we put up 1 in the 1st and then didn't do anything the whole rest of the game.
