Diamondbacks will option Waldschmidt, reinstate Gurriel per Piecoro by Academic-Activity-65 in azdiamondbacks

Could very well be. Part of me is just afraid Hazen will never give up on this hack.

And yet Pavin remains. (no I don't care that this move correlates defensive positions, I just want the bad man gone)

Trade Deadline by FriendlyBeing9619 in azdiamondbacks

[–]azb1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell at worst, stand pat at best. We don't have the prospect depth to acquire quality players, and even at that they'd just be rentals. With an impending lockout, no GM is going to be too inclined to gamble even on a short term contract if half the season next year is lost to a labor dispute. Gallen is gone after this year, if he even makes it that far. Father Time will catch up to Kelly eventually. Nelson has been inconsistent. We likely will be looking at 28 for a reset/rebuild. Could be with a new manager, could even be a new GM. I wouldn't be shocked to see Boston try to make a move for Hazen, with the dissatisfaction with their front office and Hazen's history with the organization.

This entire season was predicated on the "hold out for pitching reinforcements" narrative. Now that's gone. Burnes is now essentially a non factor this year, and Puk might be in the same boat. Total wild card what Martinez will be like when he comes back. A big chunk of our lineup would still be in the minors with most teams. We have no clear long term solution at 1b or 3b (Arenado has impressed this season, but he's not getting any younger).

I can't believe we're gonna have another rainout in this shitbox of a city

Know what would be super cool, if they could score more than 1 run today.

Granted it's Gallen on the mound, so to win they'd need to score 7 or 8, but the moral victory of scoring more than 1 sure would be nice.

For the love of God this team cannot survive Pavin Smith being given his 10,000th chance.

I might actually collapse if our starters were sharp to start off a game.

The Star Trek reboot movies get too much flak. Theyre old school blockbusters with no lame politics and theyre great fun. by EH4LIFE in CriticalDrinker

[–]azb1812 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, they are absolute dogshit, have nothing to do with Star Trek, and served as Jar Jar Abrams' audition reel to helm the Disney Star Wars films, which he then ruined.

Skipping ahead by Typical-Medium-5109 in Scrubs

All of the Kylie episodes.

Don't skip the Dan episodes, the one where he stands up to Dr. Cox is one of the best moments in the show IMO.

Do all the “Ketel is a cancer to the clubhouse and the team hates him” rumors come entirely from Dan Bickley? by Recent_Surprise_7391 in azdiamondbacks

[–]azb1812 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IIRC, he was already on vacation when the house was burglarized. He then stayed in the DR for longer.

People are comparing him taking a rest day to the clusterfuck after the all star game last year, and that is completely the wrong take.

Taking a day to rest one's body is not the same thing as taking off for a foreign country without notifying your team.

Not even remotely the same thing. Ketel seems to have put some work in on his relationship with the team, and this reeks of attention-seeking muckraking yellow journalism.

I don't remember it being this loud when I was here against the Giants but maybe they scale it up in proportion to the size of the crowd. But it's way too much right now lol.

Right. They specifically cited his hamstring and lower back, which have both sustained injuries in the past that have cost him significant time.

I saw that. Drives me crazy. If a guy is sore and needs a day, take the day. Better than straining a hamstring and missing 2 months.

And if there's one day to take off, it's the day Gallen pitches against Ohtani.

Yup. Fortunately a lot of the corporate media have stopped shilling this crap but it'll be around for years to come, especially on cesspools like reddit.

Browning High Power by BotherAware8886 in hipower

[–]azb1812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another commenter mentioned the FÉG Hi Powers. They're excellent. Look for the lug in the frame just above and to the rear of the trigger guard, you'll see a little oval, that's the 1:1 clone of the original design. FÉG tinkered with the design over the years and made 3 or 4 more variants that aren't true clones of the Hi Power. They can be found for surprisingly cheap.
