Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
From a pitcher making his first career start, to someone making his 561st. Every night, something different, with your 2008 Arizona Diamondbacks. And let's hope that this evening's encounter is very different from everything that unfolded last night at Chase Field. Basically, we couldn't bat, couldn't pitch, couldn't field, and got steamrollered as the Phillies pounded out seventeen hits, a season-high against us.
Overall, we're actually batting .293 on this home-stand, but in the seven games and 239 at-bats so far, Arizona has only four homers in total, so there is a bit of a power outage in the desert. The top three HR men from 2007 that are still here - Byrnes, Reynolds and Young - have all been held inside the park for the past eight games, with only two extra-base hits over that time between them. Time for them to step it up and start producing again.
Unlikely to be about for this one. It's IZW at The Sets, and the venue got sold last week, so I think the wifi got disconnected as a result. I might be able to watch a bit of the game - unless the cable got disconnected too - but will not be doing any commenting. I wouldn't expect too much of a recap afterwards either!

The Phillies traded Chris Young and Adrian Gonzalez for Adam Eaton.
Typical Philadelphia sports team move.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Today’s lineup:
C. Young cf .242
S. Drew ss .267
E. Byrnes lf .242
C. Jackson 1b .333
J. Upton rf .348
M. Reynolds 3b .237
M. Montero c .409
A. Ojeda 2b .370
R. Johnson p .200
Wolf moves up to the 2 hole and we have Miggy ( RJ’s new catcher?) behind the plate against the RHP Eaton. O-Dawg and his hammy gets a blow as Augie gets the start at 2b.
Those other guys:
S. Victorino cf .243
E. Bruntlett ss .232
C. Utley 1b .362
P. Burrell lf .315
J. Werth rf .258
P. Feliz 3b .222
C. Coste c .304
B. Harman 2b .200
A. Eaton p .000
Bruntlett? Who the heck is that? And Harman takes 2b as Utley moves to 1st? I guess that Howard didn’t want to face The Unit and maybe Utley is a little slower due to J-Up’s hard slide last night?
On a side note,
can we get Chase Utley checked for steroids? 13 HRs? As a 2B??

Seriously, people, I leave you alone for a few days, and this is what you let happen to the team while I’m gone? I’m very disappointed.
Well, I say it’s time to turn back the clock. Or calendar. Tell the offense it is still April, and tell the defense it is 2007. And someone get Prince on the phone, because for the Big Unit, it’s time to pitch like it’s 1999.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
I don’t feel that it’s a stretch to say that we need more mojo.
Well
It’s my birthday, well by UK time and also CoJacks (by UK time ;) ) so lets hope for a monster day :)
Happy birthday!
My uncle always told me that all the nicest people are born in May.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."

Let’s hope the Dbacks have a present for you…. are you celebrating?

Cheers Skins! Friday I am
I’m heading out into Reading for a night on the town, today (Wednesday) I have baseball practise and that’s about it :)have the day off work so im staying up for the game tonight
O-Dawg has an MRI
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3384609
They haven’t revealed the results but Melvin is optimistic he won’t have to go on the DL.
I'm actually
almost wondering whether BoMel being forced to DL O-Dawg might be a GOOD thing. It takes the temptation to use a 50% Orlando over a 100% Augie out of his hands.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
that would be me
the topic just slipped out of the fanposts…im still updating :) actually need to write tomorrow after practise
Oops. Keep me posted. I think that is a really cool thing to read about. How do you get to that thread?
Check under "Older FanPosts". It's not very old, it should be on the first or second page.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
I think if you just click
On fanposts.. and then just scroll through the pages, I don’t know if there is a way to get another link to it? Jim?
We’ve not actually played much due to fixture/league problems but I’ll write all about it later thanks for the interest though!
Wimb
can edit it, but not actually change anything, and select “Update date/time”. That should have the same effect.

I was googling "MarkReynolds"
for a picture to post on another site and this turned up.
spooky or what?
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Argh....
It’s obviously GLB black magic… when is it dated? Does it correspond to when Mark stopped kicking everyone’s ass?

I just screamed like a banshee
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Dodgers are rolling
lets all hope ARI gets swept and Dodgers sweep mets
Gotta say,
I was somewhat unimpressed when we saw Kuroda. The first time through the order he was unhittable, the second time he was tough, but the third time through he was merely average.
He’s no Kaz Ishii. /snark

As someone memorably said in 2001
This one’s for the old fuckers.
live too, tee hee.

Do you mean....
“long” as in “5 innings”, or “long” as in “until he turns 80 next year”?

Leadoff twobags.
Well, I’ve seen worse, over the course of this homestand. :-P

Hey Eric, may I make a suggestion?
Now would be a good time to not suck.

I was watching the Suns in playoff basketball, of course
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.
Well
to be fair, according to GameDay, it was a single and an error.
Does that make you hate Byrnes less?
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
What about you, hmmm?
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.
I don't hate Byrnes.
I don’t hate anyone. I just get terribly frustrated.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
In the 70's
that would have been ruled an error.
And I don’t hate Byrnes, I just wish he wasn’t on my team.
Hmmm.
It’s very strange when there’s a guy on second, and GameDay says “In play, no out” rather than “In play, run(s)”.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Yeah, 1-0!
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.
you guys have no reason to bash brynes
Id take .248 over andruws .150 anyday, you guys make it think brynes is struggling
I think the scary part
would be if this is his good half of baseball, what happens after the ASG?
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.
Yeah, but that's like saying,
I’d take Barry Zito over Brett Tomko.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Have you watched him?
He is struggling. It’s not just that he’s hitting .248, but it’s an empty .348 with very walks, extra base hits and below average hits.
And why are we comparing Byrnes to Andruw Jones? Try looking up Carlos Quentin’s numbers on Baseball Reference.
Ball gets CoJacked into the outfield.
Nice to have a first inning lead again. We do so much better when that happens.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Byrnes in a pickle and gets out at the plate
Dumb Dumb Dumb
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.
atleast he gets on base
andruw just strikes out everytime
Reynolds pops out, we only get 1 run, but it is a lead!
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.
That's a little league play
when Upton was going to second. Coste couldn’t throw the ball or CoJack would score because there was no one to cover the plate in time.
Reynolds snags the foul pop up
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.
Lazy P6, 2 outs
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.
Learn it Miggy,
The Arizona Diamondbacks order of fielding progression:
Pitcher gets called off by the Catcher gets called of by the first and third basemen gets called off by the second and shortstop gets called off by the corner outfielders gets called off by the center fielder gets called off by Orlando Hudson.
The tv guys were talking about priorities for calling pop-ups
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.
Miggy and Reynolds
both went after the same pop up. Thankfully, Reynolds came up with it.
Grace was giving instructions about fielding priority and says that the outfielders always have priority on the in between pop ups. I can’t help but wonder, has he actually been watching this team?!?
I can’t remember the last time Hudson ceded a pop-up to Upton. This has resulted in a couple drops this season.
I really wish O-Dawg would rely on other people sometimes
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.
Walk

Hey guys, I just joined the site today. I’m out in Pa. watching the game on the Phillies network. So I’m hoping to get some connection to the hometown on this thread.

Augie grounds out

Sorry, I looked up to a ground out and thought it was Ojeda
but no, it was whoever was in front of him. I would assume it was Drew.

Ojeda HPB

yea, not to worry
nelson fieguero well get rocked
To the above, someone grounded out, but I didn't see who
so oops.
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.
Well,
Augie’s HBP at least means we clear the pitcher before the next inning.
Unless he gets CS or picked off.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
We already cleared the pitcher, so yep
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.
there's a portuguese word that doesn't have translation, it's "saudade"
that means u miss something or someone…
right now I feel “saudade” of a Young HR.
- The Question is: What is manah-manah?
- The Question is: Who cares!?
Give it up,
Are you really trying to compare a couple mediocre weeks by Young to 350 post-contract ABs by Byrnes?
I never felt saudade of anything before,
but suddenly, I feel saudade for a CYHR too.

Who the hell is Eric Bruntlett?
And who gave him permisso to homer?

The game is over?

we're going to need some offense
How did they score the first run, by the way? I turned the game on at 1-0
"You gotta rob to get rich in the Reagan era."
CY led off with a double, Byrnes poked a little single, CoJack with a Texas Leaguer to score CY from 3rd.

Can I just say I really hate Brynes' intro music
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.
Like I said,
it’s like Pavlov’s dogs. Everytime I heard Byrnes’ intro music, it’s like the soundtrack to suckage.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
It's just doesn't get me excited at all
it’s like anti-intro music.
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.
Damn right, with my droogs.
soco? kishi? Does Byrnes’ music make you feel like a little ultra-violence?
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
I don't feel like looking up some of the slang from the book
but sure.
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.
Seconded
It’ll just lead to me getting drawn into the timesink that is Wikipedia again.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
Indeed
and I could go grab my copy, but that’ll take time too.
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.
Everything's still in boxes for me
Too many boxes… Alas and alack.
I’m tempted to count how many books I have, but I’m pretty sure that’d take up most of the evening. I think, at last count, we had 18 boxes of books, and two or three bookshelves that hadn’t been packed at that point…
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
I'm actually on Wikipedia at the moment,lol
but I didn’t need it for the droogs thing.
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Well that's the easy one
but all the obscure stuff? Forget it, I can barely remember phone numbers.
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.
Nooooooooooooo!!
Didn’t you read what me and kishi were saying? We don’t want the timesuck of wikipedia!
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.
Too late for me.
Checking the tabs I have open in Firefox shows this thread, Gameday, and three Wikipedia tabs.
This one is the most relevant.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
You can't tempt me
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's all a combination
of British street slang and Russian, IIRC. As long as you’re familiar with 1960s British street slang and everyday Russian, you shouldn’t need to look anything up.
Except “horrorshow”. As in, this whole homestand has been real horrorshow. I never understood the root of that usage.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Horrorshow
is basically an english approximation of the Russian word for good/excellent.
In Russian the H has more of a guttural sound so the horror part is pronounce more “xarrar”.
Well I know both of those really well
having grown up in Arizona and taken French as my language.

Shallow P8 that draws a crowd

Broken bat single
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.
Even the Phillies announcers are calling that the defensive play of the game.
"You gotta rob to get rich in the Reagan era."
The sad thing is,
the spectacularness of it was only necessitated by Byrnes limited range right now. He came out of the box at about half speed on that play.
He really needs to get to full strength.
Or....
since Sally has him beat in basically every aspect of the game right now, except (possibly) for power, Salazar should be starting instead…. /logic
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Baby steps, skins, baby steps,
at least Hudson is sitting tonight. I hope to god that Owings is no longer gimpy for his next start. We can’t be throwing games away like we did last Friday.
Very shallow P7 that gathers a crowd
Byrnes comes up with it with a dive

Stolen base to second, E6 runner goes to third

Make that a E5
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.
Even if the position player should have made the catch, it’s very very rare that the person throwing the ball doesn’t get the E.
I'm sure that's how they'll score it
but it was quicker to let people know that there was error with E5
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.
Miggy's throw wasn't too bad
but the catch was missed badly

Upton is on for Mr. Reynolds.

I just got home
but the strike zone looks variable to me. I saw that glare last inning, and then that strike 1 pitch to Mark??
Reynolds nearly gets home run, missplayed, everyone safe

Excellent advice

Here's a glimpse into the Big Unit's brain right now
“Do I have to do every *#&@(!#$ little thing for this team?”

Whoa
was Augie’s flyout very shallow, or was Jupton not paying attention?

It was a shallow liner, not much of a chance for Upton

Shallow

Anybody else worried
that having Augie come up in all of these RISP situations means that our lineup is constructed poorly?
You know, like, maybe it’s not a good idea to have your two best hitters in the four and five spot. Maybe?
They walk in the tying run!

Um
Did they just walk the Big Unit on four straight pitches?

Crowd's getting into it
I like it!
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.
Well, a lead is a lead. Though, after walking the Unit on four straight, how does CY swing at that first pitch?
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
Wasn't it more of a check swing
I only caught it from the corner of my eye

Ah
I’m still on Gameday until I dig my radio out of the appropriate box, or we get the cable set up.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
Yeah, they called down to the 1B ump who called it a strike
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.
I was wondering the same thing.
GameDay called it a regular fastball, but it ended up down where a splitter would….

I have to admit,
getting Randy at 2nd is probably the best result I’d want in that situation.

41 year old Moises Alou
just stole home, on a 1st and 3rd double steal. Mets are beating Kuroda 4-1 in the 3rd, and there are still runners on 1st and 2nd w/ nobody out.

Hooo boy!
That could’ve been bad. Bermuda Triangle results in an out!! Hey look JUp fielded to someone in the right place at the right time.
4-1, Mets
and that was a werthless run anyway

I know that we've had our problems with sites like GLB
but at least we actually tried to have conversations there.
Posting in another teams thread only when something bad happens to their team is pretty much the text book definition of trolling.

I have to agree
RAMJB, we don’t mind opposing team conversation, as long it’s positive conversation, and usually only when it’s relevant to the Diamondbacks and their direct opponent. Can you reconsider joining and posting on the other blogs for gameday action?
by snakecharmer on May 6, 2008 11:25 PM EDT up reply actions
its all in good fun
i can provide the live dodger updates, while you guys provide the live ARI updates
Good fun is one thing
but as you can see by these comments, the users here aren’t particularly appreciative of it right now. We tend to focus a lot more on our own team, usually with just big updates of the other games. So I suggest you keep that in mind is all. :)

It’s cool, RAMJB. Just remember this is a Dbacks site. Other than that, we’re pretty laid back.

One of the rules of etiquette of posting on other teams’ SBN sites is that you DO post when THEIR team does something good, and you strongly consider NOT posting when their team does something bad.

Not in the sidebar, though. Maybe the threshold for promotion is higher for fanposts?

Maybe the age of the post factors in as well?
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
The age of the most recent comment
affects it, I believe. That’s how older posts that have many recs eventually fade off the recco area.

i ws referring to NL west
A’s have some talent in majors, but most is in their farm
yea lol
D-backs traded their top farm guys for haren, trade looks good both ways tho. Carter is raking, Anderson pitching well in minors as well
And Dana Eveland and Greg Smith
are currently 2/5 of their starting rotation. Just wait til CarGo hit’s the big time though….
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Actually a lot of it's in the majors now
CarGon is in AAA (and hurt) but Greg Smith and Dana Eveland are both up and doing well.

Well you didn't clarify on either ;-)
though It’s a crapshoot in the NL West.

Well, the A’s and Sir Billy Bean and Moneyball and OPS has won them how many rings?
I’m not even worried about that white elephant known as the A’s.
Playoff systems always involve more luck
their teams are built to be cash efficient and win in the course of a long season. Unfortunately they don’t have the payroll to get the type of player that might put them over the edge but I bet if they get enough cracks at it they’ll win it eventually.

Yeah, I got it don't worry.

True, but
when was the last time the Twins won the WS? And the Braves? The Braves were good for a decade, but IIRC, only had a single ring to show for it.

I'm definitely worried about the A's.
They might even steal the division away from us this year.

Put
the Padres before the Giants, I think.
It would seem that Colorado’s “young talent” may well have been overrated before the season. Also, LA’s talent only counts so much until you guys actually PLAY your young guys more.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
No way,
Cain, Lincecum and Sanchez are better than anyone the Padres can hope to produce in the minors.
yea i oput giants their becasue of tim and cain
LA has some good guys, although i really waanna see ethier their and andruw in AAA
Well, depends on your definition of "young", I guess.
Would you put Cain, Lincecum, and Sanchez above Peavy, Young, and Gonzalez?
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
thats true
i guess i consider “young” with like 3 years or less MLB experience
Nothing like a K to end the inning
Phillies only have one chance left…

I like how
Utley goes to 2nd as a defensive switch, but Howard stays at 1st…. sorta balances out, I guess.

Except his defense
but yeah, his offense is impressing me.
by snakecharmer on May 6, 2008 11:55 PM EDT up reply actions
His defense is already mostly real
There’s a reason that our outfield leads the planet in defensive efficiency and it’s not Byrnes’ balky hamstrings.
CY is playing like a gold glover and Upton’s sheer athleticism is more than making up for the occasional rookie mistakes.
J-Up!
Lead off single!

He's done that a few times this year
