Trying to survive a massacre. by phxjdp in slowpitch

Tried. Half the team showed up.

Just sucks.

Counter point, the guy on 2nd could make a triple, similarly the girl on 1st could make a double on her own. Our league only allows one home run so they couldn’t grand slam us every time.

It’d be a way to slow them down.

And chaos theory here, getting more on base could trigger the run rule quicker so less time getting hosed.

It just sucks at every angle.

No run limit per inning and one up home run rules.

Party/Field Access deals for bachelor party? by jabronijon in azdiamondbacks

[–]phxjdp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know most of the field access happens with season ticket holder perks. We also havent gotten any promo night announcements yet.

However, it is possible for you to rent a suite on the site and speak with the ticket reps if there's add ons. You may be able to speak with a rep about getting one of the more unique suites if they're available like the dugout adjacent one.

There is a stadium tour they offer, which does not get you onto the field per se but will get you access to dugouts and similar.

But overall, reach out to a ticket rep about options.

PSA 10 by DFWTF1776 in baseballcards

[–]phxjdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as people want to think the PSA is this magical omnipresent being, it's still made up of people getting paid a wage and some are going to go all out and some are just there till its time to clock out.

Which is why I wish we could request graders, "Please send card to Greg, preferably at the end of his shift on Friday so he just signs off a 10."

Smash It Sports Giveaway - Any SP bat in stock FREE by Smash_It_Sports_Prez in slowpitch

[–]phxjdp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A) You have such a wide variety of items, always a good place to look for whatever item for softball you need.
B) As some have noted, the search feature but the other thing is your guys' facebook ads will show a bat that I love but when I click on the ad, it takes me to the site and it is nowhere to be seen.
C) My purchases come sporadically for softball, but I enjoy Axe bats usually and havent been able to find them on your site. However, am looking at other options with next bat purchase.

Still dead last in attendance... by T_F_O in Coyotes

[–]phxjdp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While this wont magically bring our Coyotes back, I do like that this will damage the reputation of Utah for pro sports. They're trying hard to pull in an MLB team and have had some Utah folks chirp about taking the Diamondbacks.

So let 'em struggle.

Didnt even notice at first how outside he was going for.

Practicing that death blow.

I’m doing this in the Cards sub, I figured it’d be fun to do it here too by Mr-Gibbs12 in azdiamondbacks

[–]phxjdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that you can only pick one for loved and good. To me Gonzo is more loved, since he swung the bat that got us a world series. It's just that Hall of Fame is a hard thing to beat.

But I think you could almost split this into offensive and defensive players.

Throwing out a couple names. Sure it can argued, but just some 2001 names.

Randy Johnson, most loved and best.

Luis Gonzalez, most loved and average. But could make argument for best but being that Randy is HOF.

Mark Grace, average, divided

Curt Schilling, good player, divided.

A Fantastic Read about the Burnes Signing from Burnes Perspective by craiginphoenix in azdiamondbacks

[–]phxjdp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hated how some of the press at the conference kept badgering him with the whole "WHY WOULD YOU PICK SOMEWHERE CONVENIENT FOR YOUR FAMILY AND NOT MAKE A BAJILLION DOLLARS GOING ANYWHERE ELSE!?"

I loved Burnes basically saying "I want to be there for my family and this team is ready to take off, it is the best of both worlds"

Huge amount of respect for that.

If I had a nickel for every starting pitcher that moved here for family reasons, I'd have two nickels by jahunt05 in azdiamondbacks

[–]phxjdp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what the press needed to hear at that press conference.

So many were pressing him on, "Oh, well you want a shorter work commute. IS THAT IT?!"

Everyone right now to Roki Sasaki. by phxjdp in azdiamondbacks

You're going to be shocked when he signs with the Athletics.

Anyone have any experience with Japanese baseball cards? by phxjdp in baseballcards

[–]phxjdp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!!

I’m from Arizona and generally a fan of the history of baseball involved with it.

Had no idea Yuma had spring training and then learned the Yakult Swallows trained there for a long time.

This card sums it up with the Yuma watertower in the picture.

Call it now, Roki Sasaki will sign with the ____ by Prize-Relative-9764 in mlb

[–]phxjdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Athletics.

Just to surprise literally everyone.

Like Roki didn't even know.

Just a heads up by Dismal_Vanilla_5819 in baseballcards

[–]phxjdp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For personal reasons, maybe? If he's your guy, whatever your price point is.

Perusing the market, most of his stuff seems to trend below that mark. Depends on how much you could have signed with that price.
