QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) Still ignores the fact other audio apps have been updated and are working fine. To pretend Yahama isn't a big name in that industry is a joke. They're bigger than Audiobus, for sure. Yamaha doesn't have any apps near as popular as Audiobus. Outside of Yamaha's studio monitors, they don't have any popular hardware in the audio industry either. They're kind of seen as a joke company that makes toy keyboards for kids.

The Mariners are rebuilding? They've been rebuilding since I was in high school. I just had to stop reading to point that out.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 10:35 AM) You can't just generalize that these developers were lazy or stupid. They make apps for music creation. Mobile apps in general are fairly easy to make, but how many general apps deal with audio creation and interface with musical instruments? Whenever hardware comes into play, things get more complicated than your usual mobile app. Exactly right. These apps are designed to interact with hardware and are far more intensive than anything Rock is running. I find the whole thing interesting as one of Apple's selling points is the stability of the OS and its ease of use with audio developers. I'll upgrade my iPad eventually, but I'm not upgrading the iPhone. I have a 4 and my contract has a while before I can upgrade. I really don't trust Apple to not f*** me because my phone is "obselete."

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 05:18 PM) Yup. Always blame the big bad company instead of your lazy developers. We've had people developing on IOS7 for months and months. Anyone who hasnt is really stupid or lazy. We're talking about multimillion dollar companies here. This isn't your mom and pop app. It's kind of a big deal.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 04:20 PM) Because other audio apps are working fine, such as Yamaha's? They need to build a new framework and use the new ios7 APIs. And it's not just Yahama's that works, as does Tracktor...so it's sounding to me like Audiobus waited too long and didn't make their deadlines. http://www.djtechtools.com/2013/09/18/ipad...pdate-to-ios-7/ They pretty much say there are always issues, but for the most part, in their studios, this software all seems to work on ios7 just fine. Audiobus, which is easily the most important and popular music creation app around as it allows apps to "talk" to one another, is even recommending not updating. If Audiobus puts out a warning, it's a pretty big deal. As StrangeSox said, Traktor also put out a warning, as did Korg. In my experience, even iOS 6 has been incredibly unstable. I've crashed Safari numerous times.

It looks like iOS 7 is a nightmare for audio developers. I received a few emails today from separate developers warning users to not update.

He's an annoying, redundant, mean-spirited prick, but I should like him because he's old and roots for the same team and stuff like that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 09:54 AM) Just remember the example of Josh Phegley when discussing how far away Semien's bat might be from contributing. I never believed in Phegley. You can just look at their swings and tell Semien is on a different level of prospect.

Semien's not too far off and I'd try to find a way to get L. Garcia more AB's. I'm generally fine with good defensive middle infielders that can't hit, but they better be ++defenders or steal bases. Beckham doesn't really do anything exceptionally well outside of turn the double play.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 09:32 AM) Just to throw it out there, wonder if Gordon's thrown in the towel completely on the year. It's not like the guys around him are trying hard, why should he? A busted prospect who should be fighting for his MLB life is throwing in the towel? I highly doubt it.

I'm just amazed that people that have been watching him every day for 4 years still believe that he's magically going to learn to hit and that he's a "great defensive 2nd baseman." I'm not sure what I'd do with him at this point. He has no trade value. He still hasn't produced. I'd probably move him to 3rd because his glove plays better there, but his bat sure as hell doesn't. He's nothing more than a stop gap.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 12:56 AM) If we are talking underrated comedians you may never heard of, I'd like to toss Kyle Kinane and Tommy Johnagin in the group. Both are Chicago comedians, both are pretty solid. Kinane was hilarious on Drunk History.

I got banned at the other site for saying "Beckham hits like a girl." I swear that kid has the best marketing department around. The amount of bulls*** propaganda about him is ridiculous.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) No he's not. That was part of the point of the post you replied to. Right. He's just not dynamic enough to be called "great."

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 11:02 PM) The "L" stands for "Lil" I like it.

Mini Garcia sure showed how overrated Beckham is defensively. He made some incredible plays at second tonight.

Man Semien has a pretty right handed swing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 01:24 PM) I'm sickened at how Detroit has built a good enough team to dominate this weak division for years to come. No excuse for Chicago to not be winning this division on a regular basis. Unfortunately we have some work to do to catch up to every other team in the division including the paupers in Minnie and KC. I'm still amazed at how good our pitching is on paper and how rotten our position players are. Get to work, Mr. Hahn. You need a good, effective plan. You got some $$$ to work with. 1. Detroit has a small window. They're getting old and fat. 2. You know who their owner is, right? 3. Nobody "from Detroit" is actually from Detroit. Sure, the city is a depraved hell hole, but the suburbs are sprawling and pretty well off.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 01:44 PM) I guess you are just lucky you aren't me. You would have been suspended within minutes of your lack personal attack. This makes two but I doubt anyone would bat an eye. You're bringing it on yourself. Don't cry when you get called out for it.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 12:40 PM) Maybe Taylorsox for his personal attack, but that's on him, not the rest of us. It's not like there is much else to talk about with this awful team right now. You say "f*** you Conor" after he hits a homer and try to get me banned for calling you out? Damn dude, you are b**** made.

I really like watching mini-Garcia. He's going to grow into a favorite of mine. I love fast guys with plus gloves and cannons.

Vlad had one of the best hit tools I've ever seen. His plate coverage and ability to drive balls way out of the zone was just mind boggling. He was an incredibly fun player to watch and one of my all time favorites.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 02:07 PM) He takes a ton of called 3rd strikes on center-cut pitches. Good point.

We're all familiar with Phegley's history. That was no normal spike though. That was like a Brady Anderson lite spike. As far as Flowers' approach. It's not that he's guessing as much as he's not aggressive early in the count. He's constantly falling behind in the count and doesn't have the bat speed to fight off pitches consistently.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 12:45 PM) Is any part of this post based on some fact? The hint about Phegley being enhanced for example - any reason to believe that, at all? As for how they perform, I think it is still way too early to make that sort of judgment on Phegley, and maybe even on Flowers too. Flowers has performed better on every level outside AAA. A level where Phegley had an insane spike in numbers right at the time a lot of people were giving up on him. Outside of the stats, Flowers has a slow bat, but is swing his much smoother. Phegley probably has a better arm. I don't think much of either player, but I'd put my money on Flowers having a better career.
