Just twelve wins in the thirty-five games since we last arrived in Florida on May 20th. The sweep endured then at the hands of the Marlins was perhaps the starting point of the plummet. Is it perhaps possible that a return to the scene of the crime can mark a turnaround? We will need to ask the offense about that: over that time, we have hit a dreadful .217 and scored less than 3.4 runs per game.

We send out the same three pitchers up there as last time: Owings, Webb and Haren. They didn't play all that badly - ten earned runs in 19.1 innings combined - but all three men ended up with the losses. That's because the Diamondbacks scored a total of three times over the three games, hitting .179 - 17-for-95. The finale was our first [and only, until Wednesday] shutout of the year, and today's starter, Nolasco, pitched seven innings of three-hit ball against us the day before that. If it ain't gonna be fun, at least we can't do any worse than we did last time we came to Florida...

I also don't like Owings tonight...

He has given up quite a few long balls this year and is now pitching against a team littered with HR hitters like Mike Jacobs, Hanely Ramirez, Dan Uggla, and even Jorge Cantu as of late.

As you mentioned though he was pretty good last time around with the Marlins K’ing 10.

Anyways, Owings is winless in his last 5 starts and our record in his appearances is 7-8. Go D-backs.

Glad to see Byrnes not leading off. Drew still wouldn’t by my ideal lead-off guy (can anyone tell me why we don’t try Hudson there?) but he’s at least fighting up there in his first at-bat.

With Owings on the mound

and playing in one of the most spacious outfields in baseball, this is one of the few times that I would feel inclined to have Byrnes in left over CoJack vs. a right-hander.

Of course, chances that Bob Melvin factored this into his evaluation – 0%.

Ouch

Painful inning that. The heart of our order looked pretty bad. Interesting to hear Conor Jackson saying that the players are less likely to panic than those in the media. Now…”panic” might not be the right word, but I think anything less than serious concern after the past five weeks would be taking it lightly.

Cant remember

the last time a player on any team publicly expressed anything remotely resembling panic. I dont think the Player’s Assn allows it ;-)

Frankly

I’d welcome panic about now. It’d be more signs of life than our hitters have actually shown recently.

But I think

An offense which has mustered one extra-base hit and gone 5-for-22 with one walk, is likely leading my list of nominees.

Or, as we call it, “business as usual.”

which requires a swing.

and, yet again, i raise the question, hitting? what’s that?

Lame (and how fitting to end the game on a strike out)

Top 9th: Arizona
- K. Gregg relieved R. Nolasco
- A. Ojeda grounded out to third
- M. Reynolds grounded out to third
- C. Young struck out swinging

Welcome to 0.500 folks, enjoy the view while it last. Heading south and not a clue on how to stop the slide.
