Spring Training Open Thread: Braves at Yankees

The Braves face the defending World Series Champions tonight. The biggest news will of course be that of the return of Jair Jurrjens to the mound. He has been slowed so far this spring with tightness in his shoulder, and this will be the first game-action he's seen this year.

Nate McLouth, CF
Martin Prado, 2B
Jason Heyward, RF
Troy Glaus, 1B
Brian McCann, C
Yunel Escobar, SS
Eric Hinske, DH
Matt Diaz, LF
Omar Infante, 3B

On the mound of course is Jurrjens, followed by James Parr, Jeff Lyman, Michael Dunn, Todd Redmond, and Stephen Marek.

I like this for a final lineup.

Martin Prado, 2B
Yunel Escobar, SS
Chipper Jones, 3B
Jason Heyward, RF
Troy Glaus, 1B
Brian McCann, C
Nate McLouth, CF
Matt Diaz, LF
Pitcher

I honestly think that 1, 3, 7 & 8 can interchange. I’d really like to see Chipper, Heyward, Glaus, McCann at the heart of the lineup.

by Sparhawk on Mar 11, 2010 5:15 PM EST reply actions  

sounds nice and all

but it’s been said and said and said and said that Heyward is a prototypical 3 hitter. Plus, there is no way that Heyward is gonna bat cleanup as a rookie, unless Glaus, Chipper, and Big Mac are all injured or out… I see him starting batting 7th, and eventually batting 6th or 2nd.

by scorby911 on Mar 11, 2010 5:22 PM EST up reply actions  

And it seems Bobby really prefers McLouth leading off...

as he’s gone that route quite a few times this spring.

And I guess Chipper’s still hurt?

just thought they said he’d be back today. Still with Chipper, any injury is reason for cautious as he seems to constantly have those of the “nagging” variety.

Enjoy. God of War 3 comes out on 3/16, so you should probably pick up the first two and play them. They’re system sellers and pretty sure they both come in a bundle that is moderately priced.

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.

I now have both

For games alone (besides baseball), I’ll take a 360 any day of the week. There’s really no comparison.

For hardware and other features, it’s the PS3 by a mile. I don’t get a how $300 dollar 360 doesn’t have wi-fi built in or even a basic internet browser. Not to mention a PS3 has luVlu-Ray player too.

Summed up pretty well. The blu-ray is huge and for some reason I feel like sports games are more at home on a PS3, but when it comes to other games 360 is king especially shooters which is why I prefer it.

360 has actually had a lot more RPGs and Action Adventure games so far than PS3 because of its larger install base

by yondaime4 on Mar 11, 2010 9:50 PM EST up reply actions  

Sounds like you might want to go with a PS3 then. God of War is the king of 3rd person action/adventure games, and recent releases Darksiders, Dante’s Inferno, and Bayonetta are all in the same vein (the latter 3 are on both consoles, whereas God of War most certainly is not). Uncharted 2 is another exclusive title for PS3 that you might be interested in, it was the near unanimous game of the year last year. The Show is another obvious selling point.

If you enjoyed FPS more than you can only get Halo, Gears of War, and Mass Effect on 360…and they’re all incredible. I believe most RPGs these days release on both consoles now that FF isn’t PS3 exclusive anymore, but I could be wrong with that statement.

"SIGN PUJOLS OR FIRE WREN" ~ Swo12bv

by Smoltz's Beard on Mar 11, 2010 7:05 PM EST up reply actions  

The only major concern I have with the PS3 is that I keep hearing from people that games programed for both end up looking/playing better on the 360.

by Lennox on Mar 11, 2010 7:06 PM EST up reply actions  

At present that might be the case but from here on out PS3 is supposed to take the edge (at least aesthetically) because 360 is pretty much currently maxing out what it can do, whereas PS3 hasn’t even really begun stretching it’s legs yet. Alot of developers make the 360 version first and port it over to PS3 because I guess it’s easier, which is why there haven’t been many attempts to really see what PS3 is fully capable of.

I was this close to buying a PS3 last month and I found a good article about the whole comparison. It’ll put it into words better than I am right now, lemme see if I can find it.

"SIGN PUJOLS OR FIRE WREN" ~ Swo12bv

by Smoltz's Beard on Mar 11, 2010 7:11 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, I’d probably just buy both, but I know that I really need a new laptop right now too. Also, I know that as soon as I buy one, they’ll drop the prices again.

Interesting series of article written by the same outlet comparing the two at release, one year after release, and two years after release (last year). I’d probably just stick to the most recent one…I read all through and found them quite interesting, but that’s just me.

i have watched p2p streams on mine. i would recommend trying the normal browser but turning the flash settings on and setting the cache to maximum. if this doesnt work, google “put linux on ps3”. this will work and it expands a lot of use…pretty awesome
