June 26, 200719 yr No, they will just pick a series and give half off seats and dollar hot dogs. That made people happy for a couple days. :lol: Well it seems even the promotions are wearing thin. I was at the Arroyo bobble head night. Not even close to a full house. Even up to last year you couldn't near the park on a bobble head night. Speaking of marketing and Arroyo, wouldn't it make sense to have his promotions on nights hes actually playing??
June 26, 200719 yr The Reds are facing a guy making just his 3rd major league start. He has given up 6 runs in 12 innings pitched. If they are going to take their one game this series, tonight might be the best bet. HOWEVER, we have seen the tendency for rookies to throw the best game of their career when they face the Reds. :lol: … random journeyman lefties tend to do the same thing when they face the Reds.
June 26, 200719 yr … random journeyman lefties tend to do the same thing when they face the Reds. True, true. Thankfully this guy tonight is a righty, not that it will matter. BUT at least it's one piece of good news. :lol:
June 26, 200719 yr Author I'll be at the Summer League and then working on some video editing when I get home, so I'll miss most of the action again tonight...
June 26, 200719 yr … random journeyman lefties tend to do the same thing when they face the Reds. Except for game 1 pitcher in the M's series
June 26, 200719 yr Except for game 1 pitcher in the M's series Well, one out of a hundred ain't too bad …
June 26, 200719 yr Speaking of marketing and Arroyo, wouldn't it make sense to have his promotions on nights hes actually playing?? Come on Malachi, you are way too smart of a baseball fan to make this comment. You expect them to figure out a month in advance what night he is pitching, than tie the manager's hands so that he can't maneuver the rotation to suit match-ups so that a pitcher can pitch on his bobble-head night? Nonsense.
June 26, 200719 yr ^I agree when it comes to pitchers, but at the same time, wasn't it just last year that Lopez was given a day off on his bobblehead night?
June 26, 200719 yr ^I agree when it comes to pitchers, but at the same time, wasn't it just last year that Lopez was given a day off on his bobblehead night? I'm speaking only of pitchers, everyday players are a horse of a different color.
June 26, 200719 yr … random journeyman lefties tend to do the same thing when they face the Reds. I'd hardly call him a "journeman." He is about 22 and was a 2003 7th round draft pick.
June 26, 200719 yr I'd hardly call him a "journeman." He is about 22 and was a 2003 7th round draft pick. I wasn't referring to him specifically, moreso pointing out that random lefties turn into Steve Carlton the night they face the Reds.
June 26, 200719 yr Funny how last time we saw Philly, there was speculation Manuel would be the first guy to get the axe. Since then, they've got the best record in the bigs ...
June 26, 200719 yr Let me preface my comment with this. I've met George Grande and he is an extremely nice man who loves talking baseball as do I. I don't mind him as an announcer as many on here do. With that said did he just say "some will remember when Jr was closing on on 500 the year he hit #500....?"
