Arizona Diamondbacks @ Pittsburgh Pirates

Ian Snell

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

Hey, we didn't lose yesterday! How cool is that? Of course, we didn't actually play yesterday, but why quibble over trivial details. Dodgers still lost, of course, so we're four games ahead - that's a game further than we were a month ago. Our unstoppable roll towards the NL West title continues! Though at current rate, we will likely end up making the 2005 Padres - who were below .500 into the final week, and still won the division by five games - look like the 2001 Mariners.

Still, the rest of the season starts here, and I do feel fairly optimistic. We have the front of our rotation to look forward to, and we play four games against a sub-.500 team - we are 25-12 against teams with a losing record (compared to 7-16 against winners, the worst record in the National League). However, we are also a) on the road, and b) outside of our division. This does not augur well for the series. All told, I would be very happy to take three of four: a good outing from Webb today will go a long way towards that goal. Snell hasn't been up to much this year, and I'm hoping it'll help get the offense back on track.

Good ol' Snell.

He was the first pitcher taken for me in fantasy baseball, and now he’s on my bench.

Go to work, boys. Beat the hell out of him. Get another win for Webby.

Stile4aly's keys to the game

1) Participate in the Gameday thread, since my lack of participation clearly has affected the D’backs ability to win.
2) Remember that we’re playing the Pirates.
3) Celebrate the fact that the “Wizard” ad will soon be a thing of the past
4) Call upon the Doctor’s mojo to get the offense going
5) Settle in and watch BSG after the game.

I like that Tracy is starting

I don’t like that he’s replacing the best hitter on our team, rather than the worst hitter in the lineup.

by dahlian on Jun 6, 2008 7:12 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I take that back

worst hitting infielder in the lineup.

I would take Reynolds over Sally as a hitter long term and he’s about on par with CY.

Or did Drew just mutter something about “f’ing missing fastballs” after that Young K.

Admittedly I may be projecting my thoughts (I mean strike 2 was RIGHT down the middle on 2-1 count) into Drew’s words, but i thought I saw something there.

When he’s throwing strikes, Smell is serving up meatballs. That’s for sure.

Williams makes a good point,

about Upton wonkifying his swing and moving the bat upwards, instead of being on a level plane.

I hope to god that Upton didn’t take any hitting advice from Byrnes.

by dahlian on Jun 6, 2008 8:02 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Upton

Now batting .145 over the past month… Advice or not, the results are very Byrnes-like…

by Jim McLennan on Jun 6, 2008 8:05 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They showed the slow-mo

If Upton had just lowered his body in the load and then released his right hand in the afterswing, he would have had perfect flying none form.

by Jim McLennan on Jun 6, 2008 8:10 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I refuse to believe that Melvin could be that stupid.

For my own sanity I’m going to assume that Snyder is doing it on his own because some strange defensive alignment.

That’s probably the fourth time I’ve seen him try to put one down in the last week or so. It’s been awful every time.

Given Jeter is typically seen as among the worst fielders ever to have won a Gold Glove…

by Jim McLennan on Jun 6, 2008 8:18 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hence the sarcasm.

But it was very much in the Jeter mold. Most shortstops would make that play look a lot easier, but both Jeter and Drew have limited range to their right and end up pulling those throws off by the skin of their teeth – he even added a jump throw to boot!

He still gets props for making the most of his limited range.

He only had three triples last year

It’s a bit puzzling – he must have an all or nothing approach that leads to either home runs, or gappers hit hard enough to give the fielders enough bounceback.

Hell, CJ has one more triple this season than Young has his entire career.

You got a thing

for some redhead-on-redhead male-on-male S&M action?

I think my wife might object.

Now female redhead on redhead action would be a whole other story.

Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!

Scratch that. My wife would still object.

Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!

Probably would object for different reason for both.

This thread has just gone horribly wrong the last dozen posts or so

and it’s all my fault.

I mean, I love pudding

but I don’t think I’d want much more than a couple of pudding packs.

Nah..

I love the Blink quote too much, but rest assured I’ll be making pudding references the rest of the season.

I've never had brandy

The chemistry between D-Sut and Williams is truly remarkable.

Sut – “And what a year Brandon Lyon is having.”

Williams – “Yeah, it’s been really good.”

Williams did seem to get animated

When they were talking about the Primanti Bros. sandwiches.

That reminds me

of the Chris Snyder interview this morning on KTAR.

Morning guy: What are you guys doing wrong during this slump?

Chris Snyder: We’re just not scoring more runs than the other guys.

MG: So what are you guys going to do to get out of this slump?

CS: Well, we’ll try and score more runs than the other guys.
