Gameday Thread, #66: 6/11 vs. Mets

Arizona Diamondbacks at New York Mets, Jun 11, 2008 7:10 PM EDT

Mike Pelfrey
RHP, 2-6, 4.65

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

The Diamondbacks will no doubt arrive at Shea Stadium this afternoon, whistling the theme from The Great Escape after yesterday's victory. We'll see how much of an impact that has on both sides - positive in our case, but sending the Mets to their fifth straight loss. Not quite what they wanted before facing the frontrunner for the NL Cy Young, I suspect.

That said, when they encountered Webb back in May, they didn't do too badly: four runs in six innings is a poor outing by Brandon's standards. He was one out away from a quality start, but allowed a three-run homer to Beltran in the sixth. However, we pounded out fifteen hits and scored ten runs - five of those coming off last night's whipping boy, Duaner Sanchez [He has now allowed eight runs in two innings of work, with D-backs hitters 9-for-15 against him], on the way to a 10-4 win. Pelfrey struggled through five, allowing nine hits and four walks, and taking the loss.

As TwinnerA pointed out, word is that Conor Jackson will be playing in left, with Tracy at first. It's an interesting idea, clearly aimed at getting as many of the best hitters in the lineup, without having to rely on the likes of Romero and Burke. As Nick Piecoro points out, doing it with Webb on the mound makes sense: in each of his last two starts, the left-fielder saw just two balls the entire game. So we hope Jackson is similarly untroubled this afternoon. Given CoJack's lack of experience in the outfield compared to Tracy (18 career innings vs. 417.2), I think the conclusion is that Tracy's surgically-repaired knee is not up to the running and/or sudden turns.

Jackson in left,,,

Personally, i’d have put Reynolds in left, considering out of him, tracy, and Jackson, he’s played left most recently(i believe he played a bit of left in the minors last year before he was called up, as well as spending time there the year before). This should be interesting.

by C. Wesley Baier on Jun 11, 2008 6:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Today's lineup

  1. C. Young cf .236
  2. S. Drew ss .268
  3. O. Hudson 2b .292
  4. C. Jackson lf .305
  5. C. Tracy 1b .219
  6. M. Reynolds 3b .259
  7. C. Snyder c .255
  8. J. Salazar rf .233
  9. B. Webb p .143

Yep. Jackson in left, and Upton gets another day off with Salazar covering that corner.

Wow. CJ in LF? I can understand wanting to get his bat in the lineup against a LHP but LF? Let’s hope that he’s not too busy out there.

You're complimenting that play?!?

To use your terminology, that play was “bush”. Tracy had two choices, turn the double play or look the runner back to third and take the out at first.

He elected to do neither. There’s no possible way that you would have this same response had Conor made the same play.

No doubt

But certain posters have a huge double-standard in these matters. Witness the ripping given to Jackson yesterday, from certain quarters, for not turning a double-play. Tracy fails to turn the double-play here and gets complimented for a “nice throw” to second, by the same person..

That’s the funny thing about swearing in your non-native tongue. It doesn’t matter how fluent you are, you can never have the same reaction to a swear word in another language as you do in your own.

I cringed when I saw your F-Bomb earlier, but I see this and don’t miss a beat.

With 2 outs

it probably doesn’t matter.

damn, we need an out

Whoa....

Ball? Really? Eh, I guess….

Extra innings!

the jumbotron still shows sally in a rox hat.

lol.

but really.
OUR jumbotron thing still does.

Great job by Alias! A scoreless 9th against the meat of the Mets’ order!

Sweet!

by foulpole on Jun 11, 2008 9:54 PM EDT reply actions  

If it hits the ground first.

does it still counts as a HBP?

I wouldn’t think so, but I have no idea where Grace and Sut are getting the gall to say “it absolutely hit Reynolds in the foot”.

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 9:54 PM EDT reply actions  

Seemed simultaneous to me.

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

by DbacksSkins on Jun 11, 2008 9:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agreed

it could easily go either way. I just don’t understand where they’re getting all the certainty from.

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 9:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

Are we really pinch hitting Burke? I can’t see the game. Tell me that is a joke

by SongBird on Jun 11, 2008 9:55 PM EDT reply actions  

Burke pinch hitting.

And pinch walking on 4 pitches.

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

by DbacksSkins on Jun 11, 2008 9:55 PM EDT reply actions  

That's good enough

A leadoff bb for Burke!

Sweet!!!

by foulpole on Jun 11, 2008 9:55 PM EDT reply actions  

Wait,

Burke pitched hit for Sally?

And... Owings told to bunt.

ARGH….

Oh man!

Why are they going to send Micah up to PH if they just want him to bunt?

It's freaking stupid.

by hotclaws on Jun 11, 2008 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh lord,

RJ may be an even worse bunter than Owings.

I think Gracie had it right when he said that they should use Haren if they’re looking for a bunt.

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah

Haren was the name that came to mind for me, too.

Currently blaming the D-backs struggles on: this pain in all the diodes down my left side.

by kishi on Jun 11, 2008 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

Owings given the green light on 0-2.

If they would have let him swing on the first two, maybe he wouldn’t have K’d….

Emilio's speed would be helpful here.

we’d be stuck with him.

There are not enough spots on the 25 man for a pinch runner.

by foulpole on Jun 11, 2008 9:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agreed,

Bonifacio would be a welcome addition to the team in September, but for now he’s where he ought to be.

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 10:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

CY, fielder's choice.

Good slide by Burke.

Drew up to bat.

if this game goes into extras much longer

i really like whats left of our bullpen vs. theirs

by CPAYNEonaplane on Jun 11, 2008 10:01 PM EDT reply actions  

So far their bullpen hasn’t really been what I would call intimidating

by SongBird on Jun 11, 2008 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

And they have already burned through their closer. We haven’t.

I've just seen the Rays/Red Sox fight on TV

Awesome!

by DbacksSkins on Jun 11, 2008 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh great,

now it’s Qualls.

Can someone please grab Melvin by the shoulders and tell him that it is so unbelievably stupid to save your closer for a save in extra innings.

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 10:02 PM EDT reply actions  

but if you waste him you could wind up having to use edgar gonzalez to close out a game…

by CPAYNEonaplane on Jun 11, 2008 10:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

You would rather see

Edgar try to keep a game tied?!?

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

anyone remember

a game vs the mets that went into about 15 innings 2 years ago that we wound up losing? if im not mistaken, it was in NY and Webb started…
