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!
And the winner

C. Jackson lf .303
C. Tracy 1b .222
M. Reynolds 3b .258

CJ is in LF again while Trace starts at 1b. We have only three (Wolf, O-Dawg,Trace) LHBs in the lineup vs. the RHP.
Reynolds should be batting 5th today... =(

"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
I heard a rumor that Max was optioned to Tucson and Buckner was called up today. Did anybody else hear the same?
Actually I wanted use that as a Trojan horse
have you ever read the Illuminatus Trilogy? I’m reading it right now, and though it’s pretty weird I’m really enjoying it.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
Well, I'm only 100 pages in
so it’s a bit hard to grasp, and the summary on the link might be better, but it’s a pretty trippy sci-fi book with a healthy dosage of conspiracy stuff.
Um, Dune? I’ve never read it but I feel like I ought to some day.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
Neither have I, and I feel like I should.
Never read Ender’s Game, either.
My favorites in sci-fi are all Arthur C. Clarke—the 2001 series, the Rama serires, etc.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
I also really enjoyed
Slaughterhouse-5 and A Clockwork Orange. (Which are both semi sci-fi)

Now for my confession
I’ve never read any Vonnegut.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
You should read stuff by George R.R. Martin
he is brilliant
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Everyone says that
but I’ve already tried the looooooooooong epic fantasy that never ends with Wheel of Time, and I just don’t know how much I want to invest my time right now. When he finishes the series, I’ll check it out.

Like I said,
I’m reading two Heinlein books this summer, too—Stranger In A Strange Land, and Starship Troopers.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
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.
Currently blaming the D-backs struggles on: the state of Oklahoma. The actual land and the people there, not, you know, in a "just look at the state of this room" sort of way.
Really??
I’ve been meaning to read Cat’s Cradle, but I still haven’t gotten around to it.

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.

Could never get past Heretics
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.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!

by Bear was pretty good too.

But we're talking about sci-fi

If you wanted to be the poor unfortunate soul to do the recap for tonight’s game, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings. I’m just now leaving for Flag thanks to some shenanigans at work. If not, I’ll still cover things once I get up there, so either way is fine.

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
first walk... then single

And while we are on RJ
I’ve seen him walked a couple of times to my surprise so I looked up his stats. He has been walked 3 times in 11 starts, the most ever was 4 walks in 33 starts (2004). Amazingly, he might have a career high this season as a 44 year old with .126 lifetime BA.
The funny thing is,
he’s got the biggest strike zone in the majors.

My guess would be that we have burned up on ‘pen in the last few games with the poor starts and all the extra innings. Needed a fresh arm for the short term. Max has options. Who else does?
That would be
a pretty stupid and shortsighted reason to option him down.

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.

The next year the team decides that they didn’t like Greinke’s approach. They told him to throw fewer breaking pitches, take some speed off his fastball and “pitch to contact”. That year his ERA shot up to 5.80 and he gave up 1,000 runs to Arizona.

Voldemort is my fav.
I’ve always liked Greinke since I read the scouting report of him coming out of high school. He had a mid 90’s fastball, a plus slider and curve and mound presence beyond his years. As a high schooler he was making kids look foolish by following his 95 MPH heat with a Livo-esque 60 MPH curve ball.
He had even been known to mix in the odd eephus pitch to add to his complement of pitches thrown at every speed imaginable.

can he throw the screwball? :-P

that you need clubbed feet to throw a screwball.

and I think it’s stupid, and I know we’ve had like 3 guys strike out looking on pitches that were pretty clearly inside, and I know Double D walked some guys on 3-2 on pitches that should have been called strikes… but I WILL give the ump credit for being extremely consistent.

Well, FWIW,
it seems like we’ve been trying to hit the outside corner more and they’ve been trying to hit the inside corner, so their pitchers are getting called strikes and ours are getting called balls.

Why we will go 94-0 from here on out
I’ve discovered the secret to winning. All I have to do is say something totally out of line while expressing frustration with the game and 4 seconds later the D-Backs win. You’ll see, I’ll pull this when they are down and they will hit a 5-run homerun with no one on
It's been a long day.
I’ve been up since four in the morning, running around most of the day in the heat. With out a car, mind you. I’m hot, sore, and tired. But that walk off walk homer sure has made a nice ending for the day.

That was fun. Well, the final at-bat was, anyway. :-) Don’t think we made it on TV, but that’s life. Davis’s curveball was a thing of beauty, but sheesh, the offense? 5-for-32 with the only extra-base hit Tracy’s walkoff? Ouch. Still, everyone else in the division lost, so this was a big win. First extra-inning 1-0 win ever at Chase, and first for AZ since the infamous 18-inning one against the Giants in May 2001. First game-ending homer of the year too for the D-backs. And we were there…
