Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Wow. The Braves' starter today has an ERA under one. Of course, the Braves' starter today also has two major-league starts in his career, and one of those was back in 2005. Still, he pitched six scoreless innings against the Mets, and we've all seen how the D-backs struggle against pitchers they haven't seen before. [Someone needs to do a study on that: is it our advance scouting which is inept, or is this something which all clubs experience?] No-one on the roster has faced him before, so I trust the top of our order will take a few pitches and work deep into counts, and try to give everyone else a look at him.
Johnson will be hoping to reproduce the form he showed last time out at Turner Field. That would be, of course, his perfect game, four seasons ago - so let's just say, he hasn't allowed a hit at Turner Field since August 2003. Hopefully, he can extend the streak by a few more innings tonight. His last outing, with seven shutout frames, was his best of the year, and I'm also noting Johnson seems to be showing better control. He has walked only three in his past 22 innings, compared to nine in his first 16.2, though the strikeouts have also dropped off sharply.
I'm working today, doing some overtime, but will be keeping an eye through online means. Azreous is on recap duty, since I'll be at this tonight, which should be a great deal of fun. I just have to try to remember to get up tomorrow morning's Gameday Thread before going to bed, since I suspect I will not be around for the first pitch at 10:35am!

Afternoon all!
I missed last nights fun whilst on the beers in town but checking my blackberry whilst quite drunk at 3am was very fun indeed :)
Here’s to more of the same!
So...time for another drink then?

Pretty quiet here, for being half an hour before first pitch.

- E. Byrnes lf .220

Thought they might have let Hammock get the start today, just for old times’ sake, but no such soft-heartedness.

Actually
I wonder if something happened: Hammock used to be RJ’s “personal” catcher, but then it suddenly became Montero. We hardly saw anything of Hammock outside Big Unit starts before: now, we hardly see anything at all of him.

Bunt hit right in front of the plate, popped 10 feet in the air, fielded by Chipper....
....while Johnson “takes off” for first, but gets tangled up with the catcher and both fall over… so RJ just stops 10 feet out of the box to watch Chipper throw him out at first.

Activity in the pen.
For those not watching on TV, they’ve mentioned Campillo having trouble with blisters recently. Considering his line so far, obviously people aren’t up in the pen because of his pitching, so maybe they’re acting up?

And indeed.
Campillo removed after four because of the blister problem. Probably the only way these young hitters could get him out of the game.

MonkeyPants right across the street from The Sets where Jim hangs out. It’s a college bar and every now and then some drunk will go up there and think it’s funny to play all those songs. If the owner is there, he’ll tolerate it for a bit, but will usually skip past the rest and get to some real music. It’d been a while since any of those were played. Some of us are going to bring in some of our own CD’s and bribe the owner to make the switch. It’s funny once or twice, but to hear the oompa lumpa’s all night …. time to hurt someone.

And one more thing.
The Big Unit had 10 strikeouts and we didn’t get the win, what the hell is up with that. And what the fuck is up with the RJ being our best pitcher right now. Last month, if you said he would be on May 24, I would have said “Great, we’re going to break the win record.”
Brandon Webb, do I need to say more?

Agree with the first sentence...
Disagree with the second. I don’t know how RJ could be considered the best pitcher on the staff with Brandon Webb’s name still being penciled in every fifth day, one loss be damned.

It’s too bad a start like this from Randy goes for nothing. Who knows how many like this he has left in the tank.
