Kansas City Royals @ Arizona Diamondbacks

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

Back home, after the stirring comebacks in New York, where the hitters were in May form through the front four innings [one run scored in total], but went back to April form thereafter [16 runs from the fifth inning on]. Be nice if they could show up early too. The Royals have the worst offense in the American League, averaging only 3.8 runs per game, and that's why they are on pace for a 63-99 season, and the Mariners are the only team with a worse record.

However, they are facing the soft backend of our rotation - no Webb, no Haren for them - and Greinke is by no means bad, being their only starter who doesn't have a losing record. His last couple of starts though...ick. Fifteen hits, six walks and twelve earned runs in eleven innings. He faced Arizona once and it was the worst performance ever by an opposing starter: 15 hits and 11 earned runs in 4.1 innings [he's the only starter to play us and get a negative Game Score]. That might inspire a heckle or two tonight, even if this was back in 2005, and the only current D-backs surviving from that game are Chad Tracy and Edgar Gonzalez.

We certainly would like Doug Davis to give us six or more innings tonight, after the beating our bullpen took over the past couple of extended contests. I know Lyon won't be available (33 pitches last night) and I imagine not Slaten (27) or Gonzalez (29, on top of 33 the game before). Scherzer, Cruz, Qualls and Peña got the afternoon off, and that might be the order of use tonight, from the sixth inning on, if needed. Hopefully, they won't be, and Davis will give the bullpen a chance to recuperate.

Couple of quick points. Will be at the game tonight, with our 'CAR!' sign, which also pays tribute to a member of our community here. I'll say no more than that for the moment. :-) Azreous is on the recap tonight; I'll likely throw in some game notes tomorrow morning. And good luck to Snakecharmer, who is in Atlanta with the San Jose Steamrollers for the Power Soccer Nationals - we covered her team's win at the Regionals back in January. Hopefully, they'll have as much success here.

Is it Haren’s turn already? Oops, Doug Davis is pitching tonight. Personally, I wish Brandon Webb could give us at least 6 innings tonight!

I’ve re-read that series about 10 times- or at least the books that are out so far. Brilliant, I love those books. Can’t wait for the next book.

Probably the only book I’ve read more is Ender’s Game. I’ve read that about once every six months since I got the book in seventh grade.

Greag Bear

His stories are rather interesting. Read “The Forge of God” and then follow that up with “Anvil of Stars”.
If I may be so blunt, Anvil of Stars is the ultimate mind f*ck. I have never read a book that built in tension and suspense like this one. The story literally did not resolve itself until the very last paragraph.

Chapterhouse makes my brain hurt after about 8 pages. I am interested to read books 7 and 8, though.

+1 for Greg Bear. Loved Darwin’s Radio (as a biology major)
+1,000,000 for Ender’s Game. Anyone who hasn’t read this should be launched into orbit.

Not Fair

When we are forced to play the cream of the American League like the Royals we should get 6 outs in our half of the innings. On the other hand, I suspect we will only need 2 out per when we play those wussies at Fenway

He's gonna get a ton of walks

in the 8 spot.

Which will inflate his obp and make him appear to be good.

I do what I can, sometimes more, depends on the situation.

Well yeah, but he's still getting on.

A hitter with less of a reputation wouldn’t get as many walks, even in the 8 spot. Except on 2 outs.

If he's getting on that many times,

he is good.

Even with two outs, those walks still have value. At the very least they turn the lineup over and make the opposing pitcher throw more pitches.

If you haven’t noticed, the National League is filled with eight-hole hitters that flail wildy at pitches out of the zone and get themselves out.

Good bunt by Double D.

Right up the 1B line.

Now we need CY to… err, NOT STRIKE OUT.
