Executive decision. The planned non-game Gameday Thread has been postponed until tomorrow. We've got IZW tonight and I completely forgot the laptop, so I won't be able to police it and make sure no-one mentions the baseball. We will therefore hold it over, for Micah or the Petit Unit tomorrow, and tonight's thread will be a normal one - albeit likely just as random. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. Continue to submit topics for discussion in the comments tonight: I'll come up with a list and will then throw them into tomorrow's thread as the need arises.

Still waiting for any word on what roster moves will be made. Someone will need to be brought up to replace Byrnes, but if Owings can't go tomorrow, they might add an extra pitcher for a few days instead, with Petit taking Owings' start. Snyder should be fine, I think, despite his "contusion" - accompanied by some swelling, apparently, though in his shoes, swelling would be the last thing on my mind. Montero usually catches Johnson's starts, so Chris will get likely the night off anyway, so can spend the night applying soothing lotion. :-)

Despite - or perhaps because of - last night's decent showing, runs might be hard to come by. Since April 26, Arizona have scored more than four runs on fourteen occasions. However, in the fourteen games immediately following those, we have averaged only 2.5 runs, and never scored more than four. Be nice if that streak of consistent inconsistency - as it were - came to an end tonight.

Ah weak sauce

I won’t even be around for tomorrow’s game.

By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.

Connor Robertson called up

As charmer just posted elsewhere. It’s not quite his major-league debut, having pitched two innings with Oakland last year. He’s the forgotten piece in the trade which also brought us Dan Haren. Obviously, he’s a pitcher not an outfielder, so it’s clear the aim is to provide depth in case Owings can’t start tomorrow. He threw 53.2 innings with an ERA of 3.86, which is pretty good for Tucson. K:BB of 50:21, which is okay.

by Jim McLennan on Jul 1, 2008 8:15 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, I won't be around tonight to police the thread either,

so this was probably a good call. Since I’ll be at the Sidewinders game, I was hoping to see Robertson pitch, but oh well.

Likely won’t be able to comment [unless Mrs. SnakePit remembered to pack the laptop] but might get to see some of the game.

Ugh

Once again Drew leads off giving him more AB’s then Reynolds. Lineup structure has proven to be a very overrated aspect of the game and can get roll of the dice results but you still at least have to have your top four hitters batting in the top 4. Drew is not a top 4 hitter.

by dbacksfan01 on Jul 1, 2008 8:42 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Why the f***

does Melvin PERSIST in batting Drew leadoff? Didn’t he learn ANYTHING from batting Augie first last night???

Mark Reynolds: Turning me gay since '07

by DbacksSkins on Jul 1, 2008 8:57 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It seems to me that Melvin is pretty intent in not learning the lessons that are obvious to most of us.

"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"

by kishi on Jul 1, 2008 9:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Seriously....

I KNOW that he’s the mad scientist and everything… but what about when the mad scientist’s experiments blow up in his face? Since the end of April, our offense has gone back to being pretty freaking lousy…. and that means that MELVIN should make some changes, too. NOT just the players. He seems to think that he can just plug anyone into the leadoff spot.

Is this MOTY award-induced mania? Or what?

Mark Reynolds: Turning me gay since '07

by DbacksSkins on Jul 1, 2008 9:02 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I mean,

can ANYONE figure out any rhyme or reason here, or ANY coherent strategy? Does Drew have a career .450 OBP against Suppan or something??

Mark Reynolds: Turning me gay since '07

by DbacksSkins on Jul 1, 2008 9:05 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not even.

Only .444.

Well, that at least essplained it last night.

I don’t believe he can have one that high against the rest of the league, though…. and what’s with benching Droo vs. lefties? Doesn’t he actually hit lefties slightly better?

Mark Reynolds: Turning me gay since '07

by DbacksSkins on Jul 2, 2008 1:34 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I could really care less who actually bats leadoff

My big thing is he is giving more AB’s to Drew instead of giving them to more productive hitters like Hudson, Upton, Jackson, Reynolds, and Snyder.

It really is a joke.

Connor Robertson looks even better

When you put him into a neutral park backed by a average defense (which is what DERA calculates) his ERA SHOULD be 2.91 instead of 3.86. Just shows how much of a hitters park Tucson is and how bad the defense behind him has been.

Fracture, testicular
a tear of the testicular parenchyma. It is the result of direct blunt injury to the scrotum or straddle injury. Testicular rupture is seen when there are several testicular fractures, associated with a tear in the tunica albuginea. Testicular haematomas and haematocoeles are usually present as well. A testicular fracture usually requires prompt surgical intervention.

Baseless Prediction

Chris Young only had one home run in all of June- my baseless prediction for tonight is that he matches that total in today’s game.

And with Micah uncertain for tomorrow too… think Scherzer will be back?

I think Scherzer is still on the DL in Tucson.

This is my first, last, and only comment tonight.

Randy will not get 300 wins this year and unless Davis goes to the bullpen next year, I don’t want Randy next season. I want the rotation to be Webb, Haren, Owings, Scherzer, Davis.

The talent that is Josh Hamilton.

The really funny part is, SHE didn’t give it to me. She gave it to a bartender in NY, who gave it to one of my dormmates who happened to be a friend of his, who gave it to me because I was the only one who had the cajones to actually call her.

Left her a msg: “Hi Britney, this is Phil, I dunno if you remember but we met a little while back in New York. Anyway, gimme a call back, my # is _. Thanks, bye.”

The next day the # had been deactivated. :-P So, I never actually talked to Britney Spears. Just left her a voice mail.

You don't have to convince me

Its the Mr. who is still in the sheer panic mode about it. ;)

I'm making a triple, not a curtain call.

Well, you just got married last month, right? Give yourself a little time to settle in as Mr. and Mrs. before you become Mommy and Daddy.

It's like living with a six-year old.

I know! I know!

But… I work with cute kids ALL day, it is hard.

Also, we just bought a house, so we are broke. But either way. Babies. They exude cute.

Me neither. I tried to watch Hannah Montana once or twice, but she gets on my nerves with her mugging and overacting.

Miley Cyrus scares me.

And her effect on kids makes me wanna run to the hills.

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN FOR THE HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLS

By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.

But don't WATCH The Hills!

That seems like the most melodrama evah.

What if the Hills Watch you?

Awesome band.

Was thinking of them while watching The Wicker Man the other night.

Apparently the big thing now

is something about camp. The Jonas brothers or something? I don’t know, I just heard that at work.

By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.

Rolls eyes

Spluh

That I haven’t seen. And I don’t want to, I will feel way too old (and dirty, probably, too…).

It is essentially Cinderella told at a camp

With the eldest (I think?) Jonas brother failing at acting as Prince Charming.

What about iCarly

We’re suffering immensely in our house right now.

I haven't caught iCarly, but I remember the girl from

... that one show. With the brothers? Um. Derek?

She was annoying on the show, but in typical-little-sister fashion.
