Gameday Thread, #92: 7/10 vs. Nationals

Arizona Diamondbacks at Washington Nationals, Jul 10, 2008 7:10 PM EDT


Ari_medium

Dan Haren
RHP, 8-5, 2.83

Jay Bergmann
RHP, 1-6, 4.15

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.

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.

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.

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….

Major League is more consistently funny all the way through. But Bull Durham has a few good bright spots.

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.

Ick. I think this was my fault. Either that or Melvin leaving Haren in too long. LOL.

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.

Yeah. I just had this streak recently when every time I pulled up Gameday or turned on the radio the DBacks started to lose.

And while I would love to get Mark Reynolds attention, I don’t think the bottom of the 9th inning would be the right time. LOL.

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.

whoa

wrong time to check back on the game…or is it the start of a great 10th inning comback?

merdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa dangit

"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!

One more, Brandon.

I think “Lurking in plain sight” is a little more like “loitering”

por favor Reynolds, pede pra cagar e sai...

Someone needs to teach Reynolds to set his feet.

Is that Ryan Braun at 3b?

The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.

+1 for saying exactly what I was just thinking.

by SongBird on Jul 10, 2008 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Azreous on Jul 10, 2008 9:41 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

well, 3-2 count

He got 5 quality outs in that inning. He oughta get extra credit.

Extra innings

Shouldn't Haren be 5-0 in his last 5 starts, not 2-1?

The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.

by srdmad on Jul 10, 2008 9:45 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

WOW!

What the hell is Mark doing? Are they throwing Es or what?

Overflow thread up

I feel we need a clean break

Please go here.

There is hope

One hell of a pitching effort. Also, don’t be to hard on Reynolds. Human frailty happens.
