I can see why..
he was given a shot at 2B, Ian could probably play SS in a pinch.

Maya Lin was a grad student at Harvard Design School when she submitted the design in.
And it was just a collection of hand drawn sketches, if I remember right. Beat out all the professional designers in the competition. It completely challenged the idea of what a memorial should be.
/architecture nerdspeak off.
The black stone makes for a very somber experience..
My favorite memorial was the FDR, it has blocks of stone lying around as if a building had been damaged during war, and people standing in line for a soup kitchen. The Iwo Jima memorial was more impressive than I thought it would be. The thing is huge! The Holocoust museum was very special as well.

Okay, we have stranded people all year...
why are we so mad about tonight? Because its the underrated, newly good Nats?
team LOB 10
He’s looking at the compiled individual LOBs and adding them up which doesn’t really count as a stat.
Why not?
I’ve seen it measured that way more often than not.
by Greg Stanwood on Aug 19, 2009 7:20 PM MDT up reply actions
It's measured like that at the bottom of boxscores for some reason
But not officially counted that way. People who make the box scores add up everything else though, so they apparently feel leaving that space empty doesn’t work graphically or think people would get confused if they just put the team LOB number there.
Well, beyond that...
… the Washington broadcast, for example, referred to the Rockies as having left 22 runners on. Not that that somehow legitimizes it, but it seems reasonable to me. It shows the number of times a runner was failed to be brought around, which seems relevant..
by Greg Stanwood on Aug 19, 2009 7:24 PM MDT up reply actions
Yeah, that's a pet peeve of mine when announcers use it that way too.
People who probably should know better. The Rockies have left ten runners on base. The fail is to get ten runners home, not 22.
Correct.
So I suppose left on base is the improper title. But wouldn’t the fact that 22 times, a runner on base failed to score, still be relevant? Different yes, but indicative of larger offensive issues than say would ten times runner left on?
Imagine if we had the same total players LOB, but each of them was only left on for one out, as opposed to 2-3. Using the total would indicate that.
by Greg Stanwood on Aug 19, 2009 7:29 PM MDT up reply actions
that still leaves somebody with the impression
that if we were perfectly successful, we’d be up 29 to 3 right now. I think it’s a good way of making a problem seem large, if that’s what you’re getting at.
No, I agree with you there.
When I said “the Rockies have left 22 on base”, I was not trying to imply we could have scored 20+ runs. In my form of usage, knowing what it represented, I was trying to imply that we have had several times runners have failed to score, not several runners who have failed to score.
I can completely see why using the title “left on base” is misleading, but it seems to me using it in this method isn’t exactly useless.
by Greg Stanwood on Aug 19, 2009 7:33 PM MDT up reply actions
Yeah, we're winning, but I want to see good execution too.
And they haven’t executed today.

It most certainly is.

really, you think we're going to go 7 for 9 with RISP like we did against Pittsburgh every night?
Sometimes the hits fall, sometimes they don’t. Luck evens out eventually.
Today we are 3-12
It’s just irritating when they’ve had nine chances to extend the lead by one or two and fail to do so.
by bballrox4717 on Aug 19, 2009 7:16 PM MDT up reply actions
Irritating sure,
But calling for the job of the hitting coach takes irritation a little far, I feel.
but this game should be a complete blowout on our end.
and we have had some absolutely putrid ABs in this game.

Frustrating
It seems that Stewart, Ianatta, Barmes and Hawpe are all trying to slump at the same time.
There’s no way they’ll be able to beat the Giants/Dodgers if it continues.
Barmes has a HR & double tonight, right?
Don’t think he belongs with the Slump Brothers
No records in the last 10 years should count.
And Hawpe's trying to break out of his
w/6 XBH’s in his previous 8 games.

Where would....
this team be without CarGo and Street? I love Holly, but this deal just gets better and better. I stay in a permanent position of tipping my had to Dan O’D.
With Fuentes and Holliday we would not have been able to afford Marquis

More 1st pitch swings and heart attack saves?

A lower UZR/150 in LF?
With fewer outfield assists.
Order a Purple Row t-shirt and donate to charity at:

but
the money we saved with them coming off the books led to marquis, relievers mid year, and matzek

So can anybody give me any funny that's happened during this game?
Like, anything weird? All I have is GameDay \=
There are more Rox fans there than Nats fans.
You hear more cheers when Rox do well.

I object.
There is nothing in that comment that supports your assertion.

Its ok
the better one was last inning’s In Play Run(s)

And lots of Rowbots pulling their hair out,
apparently due to the fact that the Rockies are winning.
When the Rockies suck,
pull your hair out. When the Rockies are competing for a playoff spot for most the season, pull your hair out. When they play. 500 ball, sit back and relax.

Michael Bourn saved a double that would’ve tied it with a running catch

Fair ball!

I think I hear
“Let’s go Rockies’ in the background. Are there a lot of Rockies fans there or something?
Yeah
those are the fans who did the Tulo chant.

no just a very small amount of nats fans.

I'm glad we're taking care of the Nats like we should,
But I can’t say I’ll miss playing them. They’ve kept us at bay here.
Every game has been close
but the Rox record in these games shows why they are playoff contenders and the NAts are not. We win the close ones.

Batting for the Big Red Machine in the 9th....

Hawpe seems to be learning from the
Dexter Fowler School of how to stand up after diving back to first. God, I love that move.
Another K for the Reds...
down to their last out.
can the Giants stop playing these guys soon? Damn.
oh crap.

What is up with Street
`does he think his ERA is too low or something?
he secretly wants to have his ERA higher so
he won’t feel like such an elitist when hanging with Ubaldo and Marquis
