Gameday Thread, #58: 6/2 vs. Brewers

Arizona Diamondbacks @ Milwaukee Brewers


Ari_medium

Doug Davis
LHP, 2-2, 4.57
mil_medium

Jeff Suppan
RHP, 3-4, 3.93

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

We probably didn't want to be facing Suppan in Milwaukee: there, he has an ERA of 0.93 in four starts, having allowed just three earned runs in twenty-nine innings. In contrast, on the road, he has an ERA of 6.27 in seven games. Fortunately, Davis is the complete opposite, with a home/road split of 6.55/2.53, and most of his best starts coming away from Chase. This will be something of a return home for Davis, of course, since he pitched for the Brewers between 2003 and 2006. Given the above figures, let's hope he doesn't feel too at home...

Remember the golden, halcyon days when we pounded out double-digit hits more often than not? Because our batters apparently don't: we've managed it just once in the last sixteen games. Nice though the season-high eight homers in the Nationals series was [we had against Atlanta too, but that was a four-game set], I'm not sure I'd not rather have had 16 more doubles. Or 32 singles. Still, there are signs that some hitters were coming around: if we can get our big bats working consistently, that will be a great help in this difficult road-trip.

Aren’t there usually ads during Dbacks games for drugs that will “get our big bats working consistently”?

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

Right.

But if our bats are working consistently for more than four hours, we should see the team doctor.

So no 22 inning games, then.

And the lineup

Stoically ignoring the topic above… :-)


  1. S. Drew ss .269
  2. C. Young cf .239
  3. O. Hudson 2b .309
  4. C. Tracy 1b .300
  5. M. Reynolds 3b .237
  6. J. Upton rf .275
  7. C. Snyder c .259
  8. C. Burke lf .164
  9. D. Davis p .400

by Jim McLennan on Jun 2, 2008 7:54 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

So I guess we're now set

on having Drew be the lead off hitter.

It’s like BoMel thought to himself, “well, CY’s OBP is getting awfully high and while Drew’s is cratering, he sure is slugging the #### out of the ball”. The logic is mind-bending.

Do you think

CY will lead off against lefties?

by DbacksSkins on Jun 2, 2008 7:58 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Depends on whether

it’s heads or tails…

I don’t think there’s a real pressing need. Drew hits lefties almost exactly the same as righties.

I would like to see a more LHB lineup but we do have Wolf, O-Dawg and Tracy. That’s a start.

Welcome

Post early, post often. :-) Looking at the rest of the NL, only the Phillies and Marlins have winning records on the road, and are a whopping +3 combined. We’re only a couple below even, at 11-13, and I would be happy to settle for a .500 record away from Chase. Win 2 of 3 at home, and have your road games, and you’re looking at 94 wins, which should be more than enough.

It’s our poor record outside the division that probably scares me more…

If Burke is starting over Sally against a RHP

then we really need to get Trot up here. The longer this sham goes on the more I begin to think that the team doesn’t want to have a real every day left fielder that could possibly show up their sacred cow.

Well,

he was able to run from third to second in the same amount of time.

At the very least, he should have been been holding up. If that drops in he would still have time to score from second. If it was caught he would at least have the option. What you gain from a one-out runner on third is greater than what you lose by having bases loaded on out. On average you should be able to score the runner on a sac fly.

Interesting series of plays.

Fielder doesn’t take the force at second or try and turn the double play. Then Young tries to score on an infield hit and gets gunned down at home.

Still, a run scores. That’ll work.

Indeed, a good throw.

Still, Fielder showed the same hesitance to turn the double play as CoJack has a couple times this year. This case may even have been worse, as he at least had an easy force at second. Hard to say what he was thinking.

Both of them come around to score, and the W for Davis is nowhere to be found, thanks to some woeful defense from Qualls and Reynolds.
