Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Well, we'll see what this brings, and perhaps we can manage to score a run off a starter - who has managed one victory in a dozen starts this season. The good news is, Dan Haren was part of a shutout last time he faced the Nationals, so when you put that and the Nationals offense against our offense and a pitcher-friendly park... We are probably looking at 25-30 innings and a 1-0 win, on an unearned run after a backup catcher falls unconscious in the middle of an inning.
No, I'm not exactly optimistic here, but we'll see.

I like Reynolds as the fifth guy and Tracy as the sixth.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
I'm optimistic about today's game
I think the offense may actually show up for this one, backed by strong outing by Haren.
Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

I’m thinking positive today. Got to hang out with my little sister for the first time in a year, going to see Hellboy II tonight, a D-backs win would fit in the middle there to make a pretty good day.

This Bergmann guy...
is really going to have to serve up some fat meatballs if this offense is going to do anything. But, I’m cautiously optimistic that he might just be the man for the job.

Middle of the pack if they’re playing up to potential, or middle of the pack right now?
Agree to some degree on the pitching.
I would agree.

Would everyone be pissed if I called for a Haren no-hitter?
Same situation as Webb. There’s nobody outside of Young on the Nats that should be able to hit the ball out of the infield off of a decent pitcher.

Yes
You never call a No hitter or a perfecto. That’s an easy way to jinx the team.

How about....
Heard the idea of sending Reynolds down to AAA for “practice”, letting D’Antona play third, tracy 1st and CoJack Left? May help with the errors and strikeouts from Reynolds….

Defense and not striking out, I guess?

Well
I think the K rate is going to be what it is. That’s just the hitter he is.
Defense… who’s in Tucson that’s going to teach him how to play 3rd that couldn’t teach him while he’s here?

I think it would be nice to have D’Antona in the bigs though…wasn’t he hurt when tracy got hurt last year and that’s why Reynolds got the call? I’m not exactly sure, not in country at the time.

He never played in Triple=A
So never received the polishing that goes with it. Don’t forget, he wasn’t brough up from Double-A because of his talent – simply because every 3B ahead of him was injured.

Would it be too drastic of a change to have Sutton say “LET’S GET SOME RUN,” given our lowered expectations? I say no.

Dunno about better, but I’ll usually sit and watch Major League if I happen to be flipping channels and see it. Bull Durham…I’ve seen it twice, but never seem to have much interest in seeing it again.
Major League
No question. So many great lines.
When I was a kid, we taped Major League off TV and, through some editing, removed the annoying romance subplot. Years later, I watched it on TV and was really confused at why I had no memory of part of the movie.

We keep talking about hits and singles- we’ve given up on the game, and we’re focusing on the music industry now.

That’ll bring in the ladies.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Attendance up.
Number of first basemen who never turn double plays and are thus terrible, unredeemable defenders who should be DFA’d, also up.
I just don’t get the hate for CoJack.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
So's yer ma!
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
I don't either.
But then again, one of the main sources is missing these days, so it’s easier to just keep our own level heads about it.
In general I don't get most hate
Except for Burke.
Man I hate Burke.

He’s radioactive and anyone who spends more than fifteen minutes in close quarters with him dies.

It made sense at the time
but then they realized the error and tried to fix it, and just screwed everything up. On the other hand, I’m not really a fan of how everything in Marvel bumps into each other. I don’t really care if Moon Knight knows the Punisher.

The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Haren isn’t pitching until the All Star Game, though, so a few pitches isn’t that big of a deal.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
But whatever Bob Melvin is the "Mad" genius.
And 2007 NL manager of the year.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Seriously?
How many pitches does he throw in his off-day sessions? A handful more pitches is a fraction of what he throws in the season.
Haren averaged 107.1 pitches per start last season. Why do you think that going near 110 or 115 is going to kill him?
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
I don't like taking chances with pitch counts as long as I feel good about the score of the game and who I can bring in.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
dammmm
almost there Reynolds…
"Back here live at the Waterfront Village with my friend the zombie, Jonathon," says correspondent Nancy Francis. "You're looking good, Jonathon. Jonathon just got an awesome face paint job. What do you think?"
Jonathon does not need to mull this one for long. Jonathon turns to the reporter and says, in a voice that is both flat and emphatic:
"I like turtles."
ROFLMAOLOL!

3-0 on Romero
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
And a walk
Two on, one out.
Haren to bat?
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Nice bunt for Haren
Two outs, second and third for Young.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
K for Young
Haren heading back in…
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
que merda Young...

Typical Melvin
One batter too late. Let’s hope Lyon is up to the task, with the tying run on first. Anyone know if the Nationals boss is as bunt happy as our manager?
a double play would be sooooooo nice

They're bringing in the closer to shut em down.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Eek, is this my fault? I am at work and just pulled up Gameday to check the score. Should I have not started to pay attention?
Bases loaded, no outs
Come on, Lyon…
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Ugh
Tie game. That… Just… Ugh.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
thank you Reynolds

That's why you don't leave your fucking starter in.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
None of this happens if you bring in Lyon from the start.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Insightful, I don’t think you’ve gotten that point across yet, though. Would you like to say it seven or eight more times?
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
And I'm right, so I will say it however many times I want.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
We all deal with grief in our own way.
Me, I try to make bad puns based on the team name. So far the Die-mondbacks has gotten the most groans from the rest of the family.
Unless you yelled “Hey, Mark! Look over here!” I’m not sure how I can blame this on you. Way to take one for the team though.
This is on Melvin
For leaving in haren for the 9th.
Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

I swear
Someone needs to teach Reynolds to set his feet.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
On the plus side...
At least we know without a shadow of a doubt that Mark Reynolds would not have made those errors if Lyon had started the inning.
well, 3-2 count

Extra innings
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Shouldn't Haren be 5-0 in his last 5 starts, not 2-1?
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
I don't know
Leaving him out long enough to get the W could run up his pitch count.
It adds up over the season.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
There is hope
One hell of a pitching effort. Also, don’t be to hard on Reynolds. Human frailty happens.
