Houston Astros @ Arizona Diamondbacks

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

Hey! We're not facing the NL West! This'll be a nice change: after more than three weeks straight of seeing our rivals every day, Houston will pose a nice change of pace and a touch of variety. Hopefully Haren will bounce back from his first poor outing of the season, where he failed to escape the fifth inning. The Astros have struggled a bit of late, losing back-to-back games against the Cardinals after winning six in a row, to slide back below .500 this year. Should be about for most of this, though we have a LOT of stuff to catch up on, so we will see how it goes!

soco's keys to the game

1) Pour one out for my homies of the morning drive show on 103.9 “The Edge:” Chuck Powell, Colin Boyd, Drew Hutchinson, and Cori James, who all were fired for Adam freakin’ Carolla.
2) Go to dance lesson
3) Come home and whip up some dinner
4) Watch “How I Met Your Mother” (What will be fall out of the Barney/Robin?)
5) Catch the last half of the game

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.

Did the Edge even exist when you were in junior high

or was that back when it was still AOR format in the 60s? ;-)

Wait… There are other teams in baseball besides the NL West? Crazy!

It’ll be nice to have some new faces to play. We’ll get to find out which perception is true- are the Diamondbacks really that good, or is the NL West really that bad?

Very good point

We need this now to test our true abilities and make sure we still line up well with the rest of the league!

Yeah, I’m hoping the next few weeks might help salve some wounded pride across the rest of the division.

Indeed. Part of me is very happy to bid farewell to the NL West. I mean, the Dbacks did really well and all. But still, I am very ready to see a different team. Having said that, I will not be able to watch any of these games against Houston. I won’t be home tonight, tomorrow night or Wednesday afternoon. Alas. I will have to wait for the weekend to actually see the DBacks face another team.

by SongBird on Apr 28, 2008 9:17 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I’m pretty sure that, top to bottom, the NL West is the toughest division in the NL. We’ll start to see over the next few weeks though.

So I haven't heard much on Valverde lately

since he blew a couple saves a week or so again—has he rebounded? Is he still the go to guy? Could we see Papa Grande on the mound tonight?

by dstorm on Apr 28, 2008 9:06 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He got a save a few days ago, so it looks like he’s still the closer.

another BLOWN save

would be nice this evening – although I’ll take him coming in for a “bull-pen” session having us up by 8 runs as well

by dstorm on Apr 28, 2008 9:08 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I’m hoping he won’t have any save situations this series.

by DbacksSkins on Apr 28, 2008 9:53 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He's about to be featured on the pregame show

His stats are decent… he’s had a few saves and a couple more Ks, no runs for a while.

I’m confused.. Yahoo shows him having a Blown Save and a Win on April 22nd, yet no earned runs – not ANY runs – and no hits, only one walk. How the hell does that happen?

Inherited runners and a sacrifice fly, looks like.

by snakecharmer on Apr 28, 2008 9:11 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I wonder if

he came in and inherited runners—and then maybe an error occured?

by dstorm on Apr 28, 2008 9:11 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

could be a wild pitch, a bases loaded walk, balk, missed third strike by the catcher, a run scored on an error, run scored on a fielder’s choice or fielder’’s interference.

by foulpole on Apr 28, 2008 9:28 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

He allowed 2 inherited runners to score. That’s how he didn’t technically allow any runs, but got the blown save.

You know

I was listening to a bit of Cincinatti @ St Louis on XM just now. This is the first time these two NL Central teams have played this year. First time! And it feels like we have played everyone in our division a dozen times already. Sigh.

I would tell the story about

how I had the opportunity to go see the World Series game two, but the love of my life, my first and only love, the alpha and the omega, the Catherine to my Heathcliff, yin to my yang, fox to my hound – wanted me to have dinner with her and her family that night because she would be going out of town the next day.

I was seventeen and a hopeless romantic. I acquiesced. The dinner was excruciatingly boring and we didn’t get to spend any time alone afterwards. She dumped me a few weeks later.

I am somewhat confused...

Friday’s game report appears to have made a recent return to the top of the front page – however, accompanied by Saturday’s Win Probability Graph! Have we gone through a timewarp of some kind? I’d like to know, since if so, I have to head back to Los Angeles again and continue avoiding the water. ;-)

Nah. Mine. I accidentally edited the wrong recap. The damage has been undone, I believe, though.

Running

In my opinion, Grace is right about BoMels calling for steals more often. We do have very agressive baserunning, thanks to Gibson, but I have no doubt we have three guys that can consistently steal 30 bases in CY, Byrnesie, and J-Up, and BoMels need to utilize their strengths more.

They seem a friendly bunch

But do please exercise caution. The way this team has been kicking ass, even a neutral comment like “Never mind, better luck tomorrow” can come off as apparently being patronising, without that being intended. I think that’s half the problem at GLB: they have failed miserably to live up to their own expectations, and would rather be left alone to wallow in self-pity than engage in well-meaning banter. Having sat through 2004, I entirely understand that.

I think I’ll do a Fanpost on this topic…
