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

Off back to the East coast, which makes for early starts until the end of the weekend: 4:10pm Arizona time for the rest of the week. That will severely impact my presence in the threads, since I wouldn't even get home until about the sixth inning, on the nights when I am not otherwise engaged. On the plus side, it should give me a chance - at least, not on said nights - of being able to get everything updated before 1am, which tends to happen rather too often on home-stands and other PST-zone contests.

The Marlins were going pretty well, but the wheels have come off in the past week, getting swept by the Reds and dropping a series against the Royals, to lose five of six overall. We also did pretty well against Florida last season, taking all but one of the seven contests; this year, they are doing better, being four games ahead of their pace at the same point. Dan Uggla [another one we let get away] has had another storming season at the plate, hitting .316 with 13 HR, while his partner on the other side of second-base, Hanley Ramirez is batting .310 and has stolen 13 bases.

Looking at the pitching matchups, I would say we have a slight edge today, and a big edge on Wednesday and Thursday, as we send Webb and Haren out. Two out of three would seem eminently achievable here, and if we can get a victory today, that would seem to give us a good chance at the sweep. Obviously, a loss would put that right out the window. ;-)

Question for the 'Pit:

Which middle infield, on the balance, would you rather have: Philly’s (Rollins and Utley) or Florida’s (Uggla and Ramirez)?

I assume most people will say Philly’s, since they’re more polished, and probably better defensively, but…. it’s a tough call, for me.

Philly

but you couldn’t go wrong either way

by manphibian on May 20, 2008 5:36 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Honestly,

the biggest thing that gives me pause is the fact that Rollins and Utley are both 29, while Uggla is 28 but Ramirez is only 24.

Was just thinking how young and how good Ramirez already is. However Utley is a beast this year. Probably still Philly’s.

by Bcawz on May 20, 2008 6:09 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Depends

If you throw in salary then it’s very close. If you’re talking straight up… it’s really not that close. Ramirez is obviously the best of the bunch, but Utley is very close behind, Rollins not far behind, and Utley is a distant fourth.

Well, yeah. I was talking all-inclusive here, that's why I mentioned ages.

Say the Dbacks could replace O-Dawg and Droo tomorrow with either of these two middle infield sets. Which would it be?

by DbacksSkins on May 20, 2008 6:38 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

If we're talking defense...

I’d go with rollins and utley. Ramirez and Uggla are both butchers defensively. If Hanley was in Az’s farm system, I’m pretty sure he would have been moved to an outfield position.

All things considered, I’d take Hanley over Rollins any day. I don’t think there’s any question about Utley vs Uggla. Yeah, Uggla has power, but Utley is just as good with the bat, and probably the best defensive second basemen in the game. IMHO, he should have won the GG over Odawg last year.

I’m a sucker for the bargain contract, so if that’s included, I’d go with the Marlins duo.

If you want,

but then we start getting into fantasy territory. The point is that you have to take ‘em both as a team.

I think we should invent a new stat,

the Sweep Possibility % or SPP.

For example, if we lose tonight, our SPP for the rest of this series is 0%. If we win, it would be significantly higher, since we have Webb and Haren going back to back.

by Bcawz on May 20, 2008 7:36 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think it depends on who retires first but id bet on Unit

But Unit will definitely be the first HOFer.

Gonzo, Grace (thanks to being the broadcaster), Schilling and possibly Finley to follow

by Augie's Army on May 20, 2008 7:36 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't think Schilling will,

and I’m not so sure about Finley, either.

They played together didn’t they? Did Webb change numbers after Gracie’s retirement?

by Augie's Army on May 20, 2008 7:38 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

If Google can be trusted, Webb wore 55 for his first two seasons.

Mistakes

I don’t watch nearly as many D-backs games as I would like but it seems every time they end up with a really stupid mistake either on the bases or in the field at a crucial moment…

Am I the jinx or are they really just young and sometimes sloppy?

Micah is due up 4th in our half. I think that he’s done on the mound today but if there is a LHP on the hill for them in our 7th, then we could see him bat again.
