Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
After last night's flat and lack-everything performance, we turn to Brandon Webb to right the ship, and shut down the Mets offense, which reached seven runs for only the second time in the past sixteen games. Webb has, of course, been brilliant thus far: he's going for his seventh win, when only two other NL pitchers have passed four. Dugout Central has a nice piece, proclaiming Webb’s Performance Is Historic, saying "If the over under for Cy Young’s in Webb’s career is three, I’m taking the over." He's 6-for-6 in quality starts this year, so we should have no issues there. Keeping Jose Reyes off base will be very helpful.
As noted in the recap from last night, it's the offense which is currently concerning me, with a number of players struggling in the past couple of weeks. Obviously, some cooling-off after the incendiary start is to be expected, but I find myself anxiously scanning the papers for news of Chad Tracy's return, hopefully giving us some options at third that aren't called Chris Burke. Chad is continuing his rehab with Tucson and could possibly rejoin the Diamondbacks in about two weeks, but there have been no updates on that front since the middle of last week.
Ojeda gets the start in place of Hudson, who tweaked his hamstring. That frees Drew to be moved up the order, and I also note Upton is hitting ahead of Reynolds. The way those two have been approaching the plate recently, that makes sense. Should be around for most or all of this; I have some light deck-clearing to take care of, but aim to get that finished before first pitch in three-quarters of an hour.

Hey
does anyone know if this game is on TV today or is it tomorrows matchup?

Looks like Fox National
For the game today. At least in Arizona. Viewers in the other 49 states are likely getting the MFYankees, however.
Tomorrow’s game is TBS, if I recall.
Seriously? The DBacks are on today AND tomorrow on national stations? Looks like Kishi picked a bad weekend to move. But since he’s moving to PHX, I guess he’ll manage.

Been lurking all month
I finally decided I might as well just sign up since I’m here a lot anyways. Figured I should say hello before the game starts. Hello. :)

Welcome!
Of course, if we lose today, you know it’s all your fault. :-) Probably wise to pick a Webb start for your first appearance!
Getting the day off
Needs it to rest his lungs after the “Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?” shriek for Owings home-run.
Very pleasant
Surprised to see we were tied for last [before that one, anyway] in the league for double-play balls. Maybe we need a new second baseman?
....
....
Oh, alright. ;-)
I think that's what they said
When the Mets player was reading the lineup, he called Pelfrey, Mike ‘Big Donkey’ Pelfrey. I’m not sure I want to know why.
yeap... big man

They really need to sit for Byrnes for a week
to have him get healthy.
There isn’t a single other team in this league that would look at a player with Byrnes’ skill set and think “We just have to get his bat in the lineup every day – health be damned!”
This is what happens when you give average players the “face of the franchise” label.
Probably not,
but if it means that Byrnes will be healthy and able to better hit and field his position then I think it’s a good idea.
Byrnes has said in interviews that it’s something that always bothers him, but that won’t get better unless he takes a week or two off and does nothing. He’s not the type of player that can be productive while playing hurt.
Plus, there’s always the off chance that an extra week or two of rest now will help stave off the inevitable collapse later in the season.
omg
little league error by Webb
- The Question is: What is manah-manah?

Missing his spots too...
This is not the Webb we know. I think he was replaced by a Mets pod-pitcher.
Sigh
well at least got out without too much being given up

One run
I presume that one is still earned on Webb?
Can still get that back though. The Mets pitcher doesn’t look all that much thus far.

Back to back walks...
So far, so good. But now it’s time for Special KKKKKKKK, so let’s hope he lives up to the first part of his name – rather too much of the latter recently.
NICE!

No prob.
That change-up is a thing of beauty, isn’t it? A 77-mph pitch that looks just like the 92-mph sinker is quite a nice complement to it.
If Santana has the best changeup, Webb has the runner up.

Batting order
I do not want to see Byrnes in the top half of the order right now. He need to join Reynolds near the bottom. But how do we do that and still keep Hudson and Drew a realistic distance apart?
ahem:
Young
Jackson
Hudson
Upton
Reynolds
Byrnes
Drew
Snyder
at this rate, I may switch Byrnes and Reynolds.
You don't need to have "x amount of power" to hit in the four hole,
you just need to be a good hitter.
Your best hitters should be in the first, second and fourth lineup spots. I give up on hoping that Melvin will consider dropping Young in the order, but after that, our two best hitters are probably CJ and Upton.
I choose CJ to put in the two hole because he’s a good on base threat and his patience will help to insure that we don’t have any eight-pitch one, two, three lead off innings.
Who else would you have
in the lead-off spot instead of CY? He’s seeing the ball better this year, and his speed is a definite asset.
Speed is a greater asset
in front of the bottom of the order than the top of the order. The better the hitters behind you are, the less your speed is needed. But if you’re hitting in front of the low-slugging 7-8-9 hitters, then the ability to steal bases is more valuable.
I’ve always thought Hudson would make a good lead-off hitter. If only he would take one for the team instead of insisting that he thinks he should be a middle of the order hitter.
Your argument is solid,
but then why are lead-off hitters (Tony Womack, Jose Reyes, CY, etc) typically fast? Is it just an example of conventional wisdom that makes little sense?
Yes,
it’s one of those things that became common years ago when a different type of baseball was played.
In a low run-scoring environment, the ability to put yourself into scoring position was valuable because so few hitters had consistent extra-base power. Now the pendulum has gone back the other way such that the ability to get on-base consistently is now much more valuable.
a couple weeks ago,
we knew that sometime our lineup would slump a little bit… and there it is.

Good inning for Webb
The pod-person was clearly discovered, taken down to the locker-room and beaten to a pulp by the rest of the roster.

Byrnes cant hit a single not even off a tee

Upton and Jackson
3-for-3 with three walks, for a perfect six times on base. Maybe we should have them #1 and #2 on the order.
Aargh
Takes a fastball down the pipe – “center cut”, if you want to add one to the list of Grace’s cliches – for strike three.
When’s Chad Tracy back? :-(
what about CoJack to 3B and Owings do 1B?

That was great
Even if the attempt for third was a bit ill-advised. I mean, he has four career triples, and he debuted in 2000. He only has little legs, y’know. :-) But we’ll take those two RBIs!

Do you PH for Webb?
He’s at 103 pitches. Or it is Qualls, Pena and Lyon time?
I PH for him, since he is leading-off.
Mustang Sally gets a single

Small sample size much?
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.
It doesn't mean anything
You could make nearly any comparison you want with small sample sizes. Sure, Salazar had a great AB to get on, and Brynes hasn’t looked great the past couple days. So what? It’s not a comparison because Mustang Sally only has one AB to compare.
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.
Which is valid.
But the fundamental point still stands. In one swing, Jeff has outdone Eric in this series.
My comparison
was intentionally flawed. I wanted to point out Byrnes’ futility that his production so far this series can be outpaced in one at bat, not to make some comment that Salazar is a better player than Byrnes in the long run.
It ain't over yet!
Of course, I probably just jinxed him.

Let’s hope he does that now.
Okay, I will offer this up
I am totally willing to put up with the ‘Stache, Byrnesie.
I have been colonized.
Me too
hell, he can dress up as Cruella De Ville if he starts scoring again for me.

The seventh inning
will be the third time this game C.J. is leading off the inning.
That is not a good sign.

Chad Qualls?

Byrnes
BA on April 19 = 314
BA now = .246
BA on May 3 last year = .287
And over his career he is 48 points worse in the second half…
Well, one has to wonder how much his legs are bothering
it’s not the production anyone wants, but if it continues and the legs are the problem you think they’d have to DL him at some point for later in the year.

The Equallizer delivers
16.2 innings without an ER for him. That’s closing in on the record for a D-backs reliever – obviously, Webb has the all-time streak. Any guesses who owns that? [And no peeking at B-R.com!]
BK Broiler?
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.
And the answer to the trivia question is...
Three AZ relievers have gone twenty straight innings without allowing an earned run:
Jose Valverde: 20, 2005-2006
Matt Mantei: 20.2, 2003
and
Willie Banks: 21, 1998
Kim’s best was 15 (2002), and Villarreal’s 18.1 (2003).

Babe reference.
Interesting.
Unfortunately, having never seen it, I can’t fire anything else back at you. That’s the only line I know. lol
I saw it when I was a kid
but can’t remember anything but that quote.
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.
Babe: Pig in the City
is a modern surrealist classic.
An entire movie of talking pigs running around a city cavorting with monkeys in suits and sun dresses. If you’ve never seen it, rent it tonight.
Is that a good or bad thing,
A good friend of mine made me watch it a couple years ago and I didn’t believe her when she said it was ‘good’.
I’m still not sure if “good” is the word I’d use to describe it, but it was an absolutely mind-blowing experience. The only thing comparable to it from a kid’s movie are the special features on the “Jonah: a Veggietales Movie” dvd. In that there’s an entire commentary track done by two of the animated characters playing the role of producers. They go off on wild tangents about doing improv with John Belushi at the Second City and make “Being John Malkovich” references galore. Really, the last thing one would ever expect from a movie marketed towards Christian children.
Hang on, let me find
My review. Okay. I gave it a B-, so it kinda impressed me for the most part, though I didn’t like the ending much. I said, “A less-appropriate ‘G’-rated movie is hard to imagine,” so I think I am with you there.
I don't even remember
the ending, or even much of the story line.
For me, the whole movie was about the talking animals and the absolutely stunning set design. It was a visual feast for the eyes. Thus, why I wouldn’t really consider it “good”, but still insist that it’s a must-watch movie to all my friends.

Huh.
Snyder cracks it deepest part of the park. Probably about 395ish.
Certainly good enough for the sac fly though.
I forget... was this game close once?

Good game
I was at the game. The promotional giveaway was a D-backs picture frame that looks like the scoreboard. Picked up an extra one that someone left behind plus a quarter. Not quite the haul I have found after Suns games where I have found wads of crumpled up money that turned out to be $7 one time and $12 another time!
Good stuff = Augie’s 6 RBI’s and Webb going 7-0
Bad stuff = The Sheriff
