I'm thinking of closing the Byrnes/Hairton/Quentin watch, and possibly even banning the words "Carlos" and "Quentin" from the site, simply because we all know that at the moment, he is hitting better than Eric Byrnes. At this stage, repeating the fact really serves no useful or positive purpose - least of all, getting Byrnes back on track, which is what we want to happen. I like the phrase "Embrace the Suck" someone used in a comment: after all, Byrnes is not going anywhere so, good or bad, we might as well deal with it. Alternatively, I may just post this pic every time Q gets mentioned:

Deadhorse_medium

Moving on, looking forward to tonight's game: the series is already in the bag, and we've got a chance at the sweep with our ace on the mound. However, Webb is facing the Rockies' best pitcher this season, and Cook has been almost Webb-like, losing only one game in 2008. Should be fun, but Webb has beaten better pitchers this year. A victory would be Brandon's eleventh consecutive W, tying John Smoltz in 1996, for the longest such streak in the National League since Bob Gibson won twelve straight, during his brilliant 1968 season. Mind you, Gibson pitched complete games in every contest, and allowed just six earned runs over 108 innings, for a 0.50 ERA. Different times...

Elsewhere in the division, Dodgers already won, in an afternoon game against the Brewers; Padres lost to the Cubs; and the Giants went down to the Astros - Jose Valverde got his eleventh save there, and has now got his ERA down to a credible 4.15. This game will mark the end of the first quarter of the season, and if we can take the win, we'll have a 4.5 game lead in the division - I think we'd all have settled for that at the start of the year.

Thank you

I was considering a post called “May we come to a concensus?” re Byrnes, Q and Hairston; with the body to suggest we all agree to agree that Byrnes is not hitting well, that Q and Hairston don’t play for us anymore; and then move on.

Your visual, however, says it all.

It's like living with a six-year old.

Agreed..

The picture says it all :)

Argh as much as the NL East is owning us this year I did enjoy the early starts which is code for im damn tired and won’t make this one as usual :(

Hoping Webby can just make it same old same old and having Hudson back in the lineup will hopefully help from a defensive point of view anyway.

by Wimb on May 15, 2008 8:33 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Today’s lineup:

C. Young cf .250
S. Drew ss .276
O. Hudson 2b .288
J. Upton rf .326
C. Snyder c .278
M. Reynolds 3b .227
J. Salazar lf .316
C. Burke 1b .154
B. Webb p .125

J-Up is at #4, Snydes is in the 5 hole, Sally gets the nod in LF against the RHP Cook as Burke gets the start at 1b.

seriously?

Burke instead of Jackson, why? Does Burke have pictures of BoMel with a 15 year-old country singer?

by UofAZGrad on May 15, 2008 9:38 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Jackson

Hitless in 12 AB vs. Cook, while Burke is hitting .333. Oh, alright: he’s 1-for-3…

I wish they would give

a first baseman’s glove to anybody but Burke. Chris’ versatility is nice and I don’t mind him on the roster, but the fact that he has more at bats than Augie and Salazar is simply apalling.

Or maybe we could just end this Robby Hammock charade altogether and call up Trot Nixon. Hammock has two at bats in the last sixteen games. He’s only played defense once and it was in a blow out.

Hell, if a third catcher is that important, why not bring up D’Antona who can be an emergency catcher.

by dahlian on May 15, 2008 9:18 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

foulpole,

I am still eagerly awaiting your assessment on what BoMel’s decision to replace Byrnes instead Upton in the ninth inning of a one-run game means in regards to their relative defensive values.

True, Byrnes was the last out of the inning, but Upton would only be one spot higher in the order. I have to believe that if one player’s defense is a “9” and the other’s a “3.5”, that’s a small price to pay.

by dahlian on May 15, 2008 9:37 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

umm

Upton has made some boneheaded mistakes but his defense is hardly a 3.5. His range and his arm make him at least a 6.5 taking into account his errors and lapses (understandable as he is playing out of position, is still pretty much a rookie and, oh yeah, is 20 years old). So fine, BoMel gives up Upton’s speed and arm to ensure that there won’t be a misplay of any ball put into play. That’s a risk/reward judgment and I defer to Melvin on that. But I think it is a lot closer of a call then you make out and Upton’s defense has attributes that only he can bring like his range and arm.

by UofAZGrad on May 15, 2008 9:44 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Just to clarify

I think that was in reference to Foulpole’s rating of our defense.

hmm

When you put dahlian’s comment in context, my response makes me kind of a jackass. Thus, let’s agree to never put things in the proper context if it results in me looking foolish. You on board?

This horrible start may spell the doom of the Rocks franchise

They gave guys some money and may not have the means to pay them as no one will show up to watch these guys know. You may see some major trades by them in June/July. If they continue, I would not be suprised to see Atkins, Holliday, Fuentes, Taveras, all moved.

Things are getting pretty negative around here.

Rocks

doing pretty good outside the West.

You can stand under my umbrella

90 pitches for Webb

Through seven. One more, I think?

I would trot him out there for one more unless we have a scoring opportunity in our 7th. He’s due up 5th.

Snyder

Now batting .290 on the year. Can’t be many NL catchers ahead of him.

Well...

He is still batting .308. Snyder actually also trails Soto (.321), McCann (..309) and Molina (.302) among NL catchers.

Well good luck all

I am pretty much done with baseball this year. I am going to watch my kids play and grandkids and say to heck with the MLB.

The Rocks have a way of making you realize they are not worth your time, money or trouble.

I still love you Sally!

Even though you’re hitless tonight!

Also, it’s always nice to hear Gracie rant about the DH.

Wow.....

Podsednik looked out at 3rd, but oh well.

Oh, nvm. Reynolds dropped the ball. Otherwise he woulda been out.

That is just sooo ugly!

What the heck are we thinking on D?

Sloppy sloppy sloppy

Infield lets the throw get away, and Reynolds drops the ball at third when he would have had Podsednik there,

Time to get Webb out of there

105 pitches, but he’s now on fumes.

He's pitched well enough

to let him keep pitching, I think.
