Gameday Thread, #1: 3/31 vs. Reds
Arizona Diamondbacks @ Cincinnati Reds
|
Seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for the thread, so I'm not going to delay posting it any longer. For here we go, folks! The first game of the 2008 takes place in Cincinnati this morning (Arizona time), which is kinda weird. Seems like ages since we had Opening Day at Chase, but it's only 2005 - and if you remember that game [two words: Javier Vazquez], you'll know why we're quite happy to be on the road. Webb gets the Opening Day start, of course, his third for the team though he has yet to figure in a decision. In 2006 he had a chance for victory when we took a 2-1 lead over the Rockies in the 8th, but Terry Mulholland blew the lead. Last season, he lasted only five innings - tied for his shortest outing of the year - but left with the scores level at 5-5, but we won it 8-6.
His spring has been mediocre, with an ERA of 8.50 in 18 innings. But he's the pitcher I'm least worried about: after the past two seasons, Webb has nothing to prove in the pre-season, and judging by his walk rate [one in those 18 frames], it seems he was pitching to contact. Harang had a good spring, with a 2.86 ERA in 22 innings; more significantly, last season he was 16-6 with 3.73 ERA. He's been remarkably consistent: his 2007 figures for ER, HR, BB and K were all within four of the 2006 numbers.
Last season, the Reds finished fifth in the Central, with a 75-87 record, but over on divisional rivals Viva El Birdos, they were described last month as, "The most underrated team in the division and possibly the league." The writer does find the Reds as weak on defense, and that could play into an aggressive running game from Arizona, taking the extra base to the corner outfielders, for example. I don't think we'll be taking them lightly, and need to make sure we take full advantage of our pitching advantage in the first two match-ups.
This will be our first chance to enjoy the new Gameday Threads experience, and there are a number of exciting new features - but I'd better not say what they are, in case they don't work! ;-) [For obvious reasons, this side of things has been almost impossible for the techgods to test thoroughly] The auto-refreshing of comments has already been discovered and works very nicely, it seems. If you notice any problems, however, let me know and I'll send them on up.
The forecast is still questionable, with a 60% chance of precipitation, but they're saying it'll only be "light rain/showers," so hopefully we can dodge the rain-drops. The beer is chillig, the snacks are on the table in the living-room, and the laptop is charging, ready for action. Optimism is unbridled, as we haven't been beaten in over five months. :-) So, let's go, Diamondbacks!

I just wanted to make the first comment of the season
Opening day is here and a mysterious calm has settled over the world. The Israelis and Palestinians are embracing each other with hugs. The Catholics and Protestants have set aside their differences to done hats emblazoned with a snake in the shape of a "D". The sun is out, the birds are chirping and baseball is here to stay. Everything is right in the world again.

At the risk of putting a damper on things... :-(
I just played AZ vs. CIN on my mobile phone, with Webb starting for us, and we lost 6-2. :-( However, I should point out that our starting roster included Troy Glaus, Craig Counsell and Luis Terrero.
I must really get round to downloading a new baseball game for my phone..
With regard to the question, I think Jackson will open our account with a two-out single in the first, following a walk to O-Dawg.

I have the ps3 and mlb the show 08 is amazing
one of the greatest features is since it connects to the internet - the makers have weekly roster updates you can download for the game and for the full season. I actually need to login and see if romero is added! Also ... I wonder if they have updated the quality of the hitters (snyder, young, burke) for their bad ass spring ...

Out of curiosity...
Have you heard anything about the PS2 version? I won't be getting a PS3 any time soon (/ever), and I enjoyed 06 thoroughly (that might have the best play-by-play I've seen in a video game...Matt Vasgersian is the only good thing about the Padres). Just wondering if it's worth dropping 40 bucks or so on.

Yeah it is good
The gameplay is still really solid and if you have an ethernet cable you can connect online to dload rosters still too ...
The game is really really fun -- but I don't play it alone too much. The main thing I do is play seven game rivalry after rivalry against my buddy. That is amazingly fun --- though we do get a little intense at times.

Unfortunately, even though my roommates will play alongside me for full seasons of basketball and hockey, none of them seem to want in on baseball (although they will watch our entirely created roster in action). So I'll be flying solo. But I might have to go pick 08 up after the game today.

It appears Harang is my starting ace this week..... will I be lynched here for wishing for a 1-0 Dback victory, with the only hit being a solo Justin Upton homer in the 9th?

The joys of fantasy baseball... Let me show you them :-)
Pardon me if I don't share your desires in this area. It is FAR too early for my ulcers to start swelling up! I would far rather have a Opening Day blowout victory for Arizona, perhaps something like the one inflicted on us in 2005. Yes, the idea of scoring 15 runs and getting that run differential dog put to sleep early, definitely appeals...

I'm not sure what the connection
is between this board and Penelope Cruz but it appears as though she wanted to spice things up with a little mojo. She's hoping that the Sedona Red doesn't lay down in the season opener.

always looked like he should be a good ballplayer to me. Hard to believe how little he has done.

Lot of movement
On Webb's pitches today. Looks like the humidity is indeed helping him, and that totally schooled Keppinger. First K for Webb.

that last shot before the striekout that showed the ball boy pickup the griffey foul liner showed a good amount of standing water out there on the edges of the field in foul territory ... that makes me nervous, cinci may be used to injuries to their star players -- but we really gotta keep cojack healthy in that corner. I hope they do something out there!
