Gameday Thread, #53: 5/28 vs. Giants

San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks, May 28, 2008 9:40 PM EDT


sfo_medium

Jonathan Sanchez
LHP, 2-3, 4.39

Ari_medium

Doug Davis
LHP, 2-1, 2.70

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

A sense of deja-vu strikes me here. If I remember correctly, the last time Davis pitched, we needed him to pull out a win after our #1 and #2 were defeated. And here we are again, in exactly the same state, because the front of our rotation has been decidedly wobbly once more. Hopefully Davis can be as brilliant as last time out, where he shut down a potent Braves offense, allowing only one run over seven innings.

A somewhat easier task for our hitters, following yesterday, where Lincecum chewed u our hitters, spat them out, and used their bats as toothpicks. Sanchez walks too many people and also can be hit: Pittsburgh scored seven runs off him in 4.1 innings less than a month ago, so if they can do that... It's another left-handed pitcher, but I'm not convinced that the best approach is to throw every southpaw we have on the roster out there. The best hitters of LHP we have this season - both with an OPS of over 1.000 - are Chris Young and Conor Jackson. However, this may be more successful against lower-class lefties like Sanchez - an ace is an ace, and you may need your very best hitters out there, regardless of handedness.

Keys to the game:

  1. Try out the new curry house that opened close to our house
  2. Write a review of Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust
  3. Smack around a left-handed starter like we used to.
  4. Dessert?

Today we would probably want as many RHBs in the lineup as we can get.

by foulpole on May 28, 2008 8:39 PM EDT reply actions  

well

I’m available. Have a .250 lifetime average from Little League while hitting for power (I could get out of the infield). Also, a .500 average of first-pitch contact in T-Ball.

by UofAZGrad on May 28, 2008 8:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

The irony of that

Must have got lost. It was a reference to yesterday, when we had LHB Tracy, Montero and Salazar added to the regular lineup yesterday against, not just a leftie, but a very tough leftie. The last-named I can kinda understand, because of Byrnes going on the DL, but do you really think Montero was a better offensive option than Snyder?

by Jim McLennan on May 28, 2008 8:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

, not just a leftie, but a very tough leftie.

Timmy is a RHP.

by foulpole on May 28, 2008 8:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well, there goes that theory

:-) Except that it still stands, in the sense that we slapped people in the lineup simply because of the handedness of their at-bats.

by Jim McLennan on May 28, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

but do you really think Montero was a better offensive option than Snyder?

Against a RHP? Yes, I do. But we do give up a lot on D with Miggy in the lineup.

Upton's 0-for-24

Is the longest hitless streak in the majors this year, I think. If it goes much longer, I’m going to have to start pulling out the record books.

by Jim McLennan on May 28, 2008 8:49 PM EDT reply actions  

And the franchise record

Is Travis Lee’s 0-for-27 over eight games back in 1999. That’s a rough guess, based on entirely hitless games, and doesn’t include the “bookend games” of the streak, and the at-bats before or after he got a hit in those.

by Jim McLennan on May 28, 2008 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

Let’s hope that he can put together some solid PAs today.

Today’s lineup:

C. Young cf .243

C. Jackson 1b .303
C. Snyder c .275
M. Reynolds 3b .225
J. Upton rf .274
C. Burke lf .182
D. Davis p .500

Snydes move up to #5 and Burke gets the start in LF. The lone LHB we have today is Wolf at ss.

Does that make him a LHB? Not today. At least until we get to their pen and a RHP.

S'okay

“Curry Lite” was how Mrs. SnakePit described it, and I tend to concur. The point of curry is partly that it sticks to your ribs, and absorbs alcohol – this would have been hard pushed to cope with a dry martini. Came with a sampler platter of sauces, which added some nice variety. Bombay Spice was the name of the place, should you care: I do sense it was neither owned, operated or patronized by Indians, however!

If Upton and Reynolds explode again,

Did I not make myself clear,

they are the Rays formally know as the Devil Rays. We are the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Brandon Webb, that's all I'm going to say.

And they’re good this year. Are we supposed to be weeping over that?

Why?

They’re a good team this year. Sure, we want to be better, but let’s not fool ourselves, they’re a very good, fundamentally solid team.

I don’t follow your reasoning. And I use the word lightly.

if we changed our name to the Arizona Backs, then we’ll start hitting?

It's justified

Did you know that Randy Winn drinks blood from the skulls of puppies. I have a very reliable source on this.

No, but I'm intrigued by your ideas
