San Diego Padres @ Arizona Diamondbacks


sdg_medium

Greg Maddux
RHP, 2-0, 2.00

Ari_medium

Dan Haren
RHP, 2-0, 2.50

Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]

The best possible scenario for the Padres tonight, sees Maddux throw six innings, Cla Meredith pitch the seventh and eighth, then Hoffman in for the ninth. Indeed, I suspect that might be exactly what we see tonight, regardless of the game situation, since they are about the only pitchers available for San Diego, after last night's 22-inning butt-numbing epic at Petco. As noted elsewhere, Maddux basically is now maxed out at under 100 pitches, so if the D-backs exercise a little patience, he'll be done by five.

Stapling Orlando Hudson's bat to his shoulder might help here, since O-Dawg trails the team with only 3.13 pitches per plate-appearance. Perhaps surprisingly, Special K has the highest figure thus far, at 4.48. Hudson's start at the playe has been a little disappointing - he and Snyder are the only ones with an OPS+ below 110, but I think his generally-stellar defense makes up for any shortcomings. Maddux is easy to run on as well; since the start of last season, 37 of 39 base-stealers have been successful. Expect the D-backs to take advantage on the bags, though backup Padres' catcher Colt Morton [Michael Barrett is on the DL] is an unknown factor.

The Padres have swapped around their starters for the first two games: Maddux was originally slated to throw tomorrow, but Chris Young has been given an extra day of rest instead, because of elbow stiffness. It makes for an intriguing trio of pitching matchups. However, it's the offense that's the difference; thus far, the Padres don't have a single position player with an OPS of .800. The D-backs have five regul;ar starters better than .900. While we've played in more hitter-friendly parks thus far, I don't think that explains the overall gulf in OPS: Arizona are .848, San Diego at .636. That's a chasm. by any terms.

It'll be our first time at Chase since the FanFest, so we're looking forward to seeing our boys in person for the first time, and checking out the new Jumbotron. It'll also be Tony Clark's first trip back to Arizona since his departure - I'm sure he'll get a warm welcome, though since he played all 22 innings last night too, he's probably going to be dozing off at the end of the dugout. I'll therefore leave the creation of any overflow threads to Azreous, DbackSkins and snakecharmer. Report, with pics and perhaps video [note to MLB lawyers: of the Jumbotron, not the game, you silly rabbits!], to follow.

soco's keys the game

1) practice the ballroom rumba
2) go get some dinner
3) watch “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”
4) catch some of the game if possible
5) dessert?

The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.

Took a spin with the wheel of death from the vending machine here at work! Had something that looked like a cheeseburger.

My keys to the game …

2) Eat guys over my fantasy team
3) Take a nice long lunch to listen to the game, around the fourth inning.

Maybe the Rockies have found the key to their offensive success: sleep deprivation. They’re up 6-0 with one out in the top of the first at Houston, and the Astros bullpen is already up.

I’m looking forward to tonight’s game. The D-backs have run roughshod over the rest of the NL West, and I think the Padres aren’t the danger that many thought they would be before the season. Last season, we won the division despite our in-division record. This season, I think we can do much better.

Looks like a slugfest

Rockies starter Morales has already allowed three hits, two walks and three runs, while retiring two batters, and the Astros have the tying run at the plate, having made it 6-3… Pretty sure Morales will not be lifted any time soon though!

Morales at 75 pitches with two outs in the third. The Rockies might be checking with the bench to see who’d be willing to throw an inning.

We have had a lot of success against Maddux in the past. It seems that the key is to hit that 1st pitch if he’s trying to grove it in there. Don’t let him get ahead in the count early in the game then he gets crushed.

Of course. There are pitchers with career ERA’s over 6, so they must have a career ERA against a team that’s (much) higher.

Erm.....

I can’t say why, but I REALLY hope CoJack hits a double soon….

Single to left field.

Difference is

there’s so much less pressure this year. Last year, O-Dawg has a cold spell, and we’d lose 6 games in a row.

True

There’s so many other people out there willing to step up so far this season.

It's not that they're WILLING to step up.

It’s that they’re ABLE to step up.

Seems different this year

Last year, that meant “Yeah, anybody might beat you.”

This year, it seems to be “Yeah, anybody can- and will- beat you.”

Last year, we were scrappy. This year, we’re badass.

I thought it was more along the lines of...

...”Anyone can step up on any given night and beat you.”

Now, it’s more like

“We WILL beat anybody, anytime.”

1927 NY Yankees? 3AM in the morning on a sandlot in Nebraska? Sure.

Well, he does bring GG level D to the park every night. So, when he is cold at the plate, at least he’s still contibuting.
