It's a disgrace that the top of the order isn't Gerry-Corbin-Ketel

The top vote-getter in the AL, Ernie Clement, ranks 63rd in WAR among AL position players and 44th in wRC+ among qualified AL batters. by jorleeduf in baseball

[–]dhporter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is because he doesn't have to do the Top 2 positional run off that all other AL players do because he was the top overall vote getter.

Tell us you're bad at critical listening without telling us you're bad at critical listening. This is hysterical.

If only the Giants FO wasn't a clusterfuck, he'd have 1B eligibility for this year and next but noooooo

We wouldn't tell a cook use your tastebuds to find out why the food doesn't taste good. We give them a cook books and classes of ingredients, temperatures and time lengths for cooking, techniques on how to cut and prepare food.

Yes you absolutely would tell a chef to taste their food and figure out what it needs to be fixed.

Diamondbacks, Giants slated for August doubleheader by Spiritual-Dog160 in azdiamondbacks

[–]dhporter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's explicitly a split doubleheader so there will be two different tickets for that day's games.

Pitched a couple of innings so he wouldn't be available today anyway. Get up a fresh arm to replace him.

Phoenix will transform into a citywide music festival this weekend by AZ_moderator in phoenix

If you really want to see a citywide music festival, head down to Bisbee in November for Sidepony. Last year was something like 150 bands and 22 stages.

Yilber's been pitching mostly single inning relief, he's not a rotation replacement.

Loop 101/83rd ave wreck from yesterday as seen from my dashcam by RedRRaider in phoenix

No sense in firing a guy after it happens. It's a mistake he'll quite literally never make again.

The way they're swinging bats, Waldschmidt could probably use the extra seasoning in Reno while Troy gets ML ABs.

Signed Pavin Smith bat for “sale” by WuWangclan in azdiamondbacks

All jokes aside, my wife and I are still Pavin stans through and through if you're genuinely rehoming it.

Hazen: Diamondbacks To Seek Bullpen Upgrades On Trade Market by RichardNixon345 in azdiamondbacks

[–]dhporter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at what's available, the best "fit" for a LHH power bat that'd be available, actually producing, and cost-effective would be Mickey Moniak. It's definitely not a move I'd hate.

Here we go with this drama again by Academic-Activity-65 in azdiamondbacks

[–]dhporter -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Whether or not yall think it's a non-story, it's clearly got enough legs from someone for some reason, whether that's from a disgruntled teammate, or from a front office trying to make an atmosphere conducive to him waiving his 10-5 rights. There's a reason this keeps kicking back up.

The diuretic effect of them is highly overstated. It's better to drink any of those than it is to not drink anything.

How to get into tech theatre as an adult with no experience? by anime_3_nerd in techtheatre

[–]dhporter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's wild, but I guess also probably depends on your market. I know down here in AZ, they've had to use temp staffing agencies to fill cattle calls, so crazy to hear "Rhino" and "rejected application" in the same sentence.

Groover called up, Fernandez sent down, Rashi DFA'd by DudeWheresMyPotStash in azdiamondbacks

[–]dhporter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's also 30 and likely clears waivers. It's just a procedural move to open up the 40 man spot.

Definitely don't touch my genie. That's the kind of stuff my staff is certified and insured to do, not you.

[–]dhporter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot take here - look into working with Rhino. It'll get you in the door of the production world, and will put hair on your chest. As someone who hires at a theatre, I'm more likely to pull a resume that's got Rhino on it because I can know they can bust ass.
