New York Mets @ Arizona Diamondbacks


nym_medium

Mike Pelfrey
RHP, 2-1, 4.43

Brandon Webb
RHP, 6-0, 1.98

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.

Lineup

New York Mets @ Arizona Diamondbacks

05/03/08 3:45 PM EDT

New York Mets Arizona Diamondbacks
Jose Reyes - SS Chris Young - CF
Ryan Church - RF Stephen Drew - SS
David Wright - 3B Eric Byrnes - LF
Carlos Beltran - CF Conor Jackson - 1B
Carlos Delgado - 1B Justin Upton - RF
Damion Easley - 2B Mark Reynolds - 3B
Raul Casanova - C Augie Ojeda - 2B
Endy Chavez - LF Chris Snyder - C
Mike Pelfrey - P Brandon Webb - P

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.

I guess that Fox has a strange definition of “national.” I think that Jim is more accurate with the MFYankees coverage. :-(

Can someone please tell the D-backs FO that they are not going to get any coverage on their Saturday day games? And I even pay for Extra Innings. Sheesh.

by foulpole on May 3, 2008 4:04 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We’re getting it in SW Colorado. Only because it’s the Mets, I’m sure, but I’ll take it!

I thought we had all agreed that we were going to avoid situations with two outs and Eric Byrnes coming up to bat? That’s not working for us, obviously. Let’s quit that.

The Met’s pitcher was introduced as 6’ 7”. Is that correct?

by Snakebitten on May 3, 2008 3:53 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Muu on May 3, 2008 4:01 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by dahlian on May 3, 2008 4:07 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

If only Augie Ojeda

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?

by Jim McLennan on May 3, 2008 4:57 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

My 2 cents:

Young
Drew
Upton
Jackson
Hudson
Reynolds
Brynes
Snyder

Young

Does

Upton have the power necessary for the 4-hole? I don’t think so (right now, at least)

by Snakebitten on May 3, 2008 5:08 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by dahlian on May 3, 2008 5:16 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Snakebitten on May 3, 2008 5:29 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by dahlian on May 3, 2008 5:34 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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?

by Snakebitten on May 3, 2008 5:43 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

As wild as Heilman is right now...

I don’t know if I’d swing until there were two strikes. Hell, maybe three.

Not the best of advice... :-(

As Montero goes down looking on a full-count strike three…

Turns out not.

Looked like Miggy was fooled by that fastball tailing back over the plate. Even though most of Heilman’s do that.

Ah well. I’ll still take the Turambar-esque blame for it.

Yeah,

both of the pitches that Miggy took looking were absolutely perfect pitches. They started in at the hands then tailed just over the inside corner.

Coming from a pitcher that had been as wild as Heilman, those are hard to swing at.

That and fielding fundamentals are two things

I’d like to see the diamondbacks work on.

Six outs to get

Fingers crossed. With all the opportunities we’ve had to blow the doors off this mother, it’d be a sickener were we not to close it out.

Peña, I presume, for the eighth. Even though Melvin used him yesterday.
