Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Any chance of a win here? Really, that's all I got. From being a team that had difficulty beating good opponents, we are now a team that has difficulty beating anyone: we have won two series this month, against the Tigers and Rockies. Over the last ten games, we're tied with Colorado for the worst record in the National League. It's definitely the offense that has been the issue. During the current 2-8 streak, we're hitting .217, but the pitching staff has a credible ERA of 4.22 [basically identical to the NL average for the year, which is 4.21].
At least we should be able to hit up and down the order tonight, thanks to the presence of Pwnings in the line-up. Though May has been no kinder to him than a number of our other hitters: he is 2-for-16 with eight strikeouts and no RBIs this month - so Brandon Webb has still driven in more runs this season! It'd be nice to see him get back on track with the bat as well as the ball. Over the past four games, he's given us a quality start every time, throwing 26 innings with an ERA of 2.77 and a K:BB ratio of 25:8. Hopefully, he can keep us in the game, and the hitters can not stop scoring when they reach three runs. Remember: 22-3 when we score five or more.

Dahlian
If you’re about and still want to do the recap, let me know and I’ll upgrade your account. Not heard from Azreous, so you can take the spot-start if you want. :-)
Sorry Jim, I know I haven’t been around much. I’d do it but my arm has been really sore lately… no idea why.. :( and I need to rest it as much as I can, so I can’t do much extra writing.
by snakecharmer on May 30, 2008 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions
LOL
No prob. I quite understand why. Or should I say, Wii… :-) I can do it tomorrow; I’ve worked out a schedule with Azreous of alternate Tuesdays and Friday, but not sure if he wanted to start tonight or next Tuesday. And since dahlian had expressed interest too…
by Jim McLennan on May 30, 2008 8:48 PM EDT up reply actions
It actually isn't that! ;)
My right arm is what’s sore, not my left. It’s very strange. I just hope it gets better before the trip to nationals. That’s very cool about the schedule – you deserve a break now and then.

Gee Jim,
this is pretty short notice. I’m going to have to dig through my moving boxes to find my MLA Style Guide, Bartlett’s Familiar Quotes, the Big Book of Puns and my father’s Joke Book for Junior Executives. Not to mention that we would have to discuss my financial renumeration along with future publishing rights…
But if you’re really in a bind, I guess I could do some quick pro bono work on the side for you. Just this once, though.
You're duly enabled,
You should see some additional options open to you now. You know the format. You know the drill. You just need to find thirty synonyms for “atrocious” and you’ll be all set.

Hey now,
No one’s fielding percentage went down – why would you imply that it was a bad play?
Sure, it may count against their zone ratings, but we all know how flawed those stats are.
It was a bad play
because you had two players within 4 feet of catching it—one pulled up at the last moment, and one got twisted around, and it dropped between them.
It was a bad play because it was a play that COULD be made, that wasn’t.

Whew
Just got back to the hotel from the Tampa Bay game- the Rays hit a walk-off home run to win, the other Upton had an RBI and two stolen bases, and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had a bases loaded, inning ending GIDP early on in the game. Plus, I got to pet a manta, which was cool/weird.
Now can we please get a freaking win here?
"Look, I'm not a financial expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure that a zeppelin is an excellent investment opportunity."

I’m pumped that even though they dropped the “Devil” part and changed what “Ray” they were referring to, they still kept the petting tank.

I was wondering if a manta had ever gotten hit by a home run, and the walk-off nearly landed in the tank. It was amusing.
Oh, and the Rays mascot is just weird. My wife suggested that it’s a Muppet, and that’s about as accurate as anything else I could think of.
"Look, I'm not a financial expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure that a zeppelin is an excellent investment opportunity."
What exactly did the first O-Dog whiff look like?
I was out playing with the dog so I only heard it on radio. I like Schulte, but he’s not the best at painting word-pictures.
O-Dawg was kneeled and ready for it a second before it got there,
and then it just popped up out of his glove.
Not a guaranteed play, but definitely should have been a groundout.

Start over
Three innings left, all tied.
Forgot to mention, I see the Rockies coughed up an eight-run sixth inning lead today. Must look into the Win Probability there…
99.3%
After the first Cubs out in the bottom of the seventh. And the Rockies blew it. Wow.

I was wondering- when you start blowing eight run leads, is that when you can apply for FEMA assistance?

They just want Strasburg.
They’re now below the Padres.

LOL
Funny thing is, I don’t think Randy Winn has ever gotten into any off the field trouble.
Except for all the evilness that’s already been noticed.

We had the bases loaded... what? 3x in the game?
And we only got 3 runs total? One of which was a solo homer??

You know the drill
We score three runs per game. That’s it.

Ugh...
I was hoping for a lead before I went to sleep. Now that seems unlikely.

Over to you, Dahlian
Win probability down to 10%. I’m calling it a night.
But at least RAMJB gets to see what a real pitching prospect looks like. Maybe he can pass some tips on to Kershaw.
Yeah,
Glad I’m not writing tonight.

1-2-3 Inning for Scherzer
Be lovely to get some runs, huh? Guys? Hello…
Well, my flight is at 8:30 am Eastern, so I better get to sleep. You know, about two hours ago. Yeah. G’night, all. Let’s see some runs, D-backs!

Chad Tracy goes long
Hey, that’s- wait, no… More than three runs? Are we allowed to do that?
It’s a small thing, but better than nothing.

For those wondering,
that “doctor” Byrnes went to see in the Bay Area was an acupuncturist. In the Bickley interview he lauded the team for allowing him to go meet with his own guy.
My confidence in this organization lessens by the day.

We have 8 losses in the past 10 games.
We had 8 losses in April.
Brandon Webb, that's all I'm going to say.
April is a month long
The past ten games seem to have been about a month long, as well.
"Look, I'm not a financial expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure that a zeppelin is an excellent investment opportunity."
Let's see if
they can capitalize on a bases loaded situation

7-4
game over
one of the lamest months I’ve seen outside of that time we went 3-22 or something like that. It’s the way we have been losing that is the most frustrating.

I'm fucking tired of defending this team and I will do it no more. You guys said the bats will wake up since 3 weeks ago and they haven't. Reynolds continues to suck and Jackson looks worse than the 07 Jackson.
This team is pathetic. Bob Melvin needs to go Lou Piniella on their asses or change the dam lineup or call up some minor league guy.
I do what I can, sometimes more, depends on the situation.
You think Jackson was a better hitter last year
when he went .284/.368/.467 than this year when he’s hitting .306/.406/.524?
Cojack defensively maybe?
The errors don’t show it, but damn, he sure seems to have a lot of brain farts out there.

Well I see things didn't go so well tonight
though the missus and I had to endure the preview for this monstrosity so I’m not sure who had the worse night.
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.
