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

Important to win this one, otherwise we are guaranteed to have a losing record going into the All-Star break. This puts a lot of weight onto the Big Unit's shoulder, as he goes for career win #289 #290 - sorry, force of habit, after it took him nine attempts to get the last one. I'm certainly hoping to see him go deep into the game, as the bullpen is stilll icing its collective elbow, after the burden of back-to-back extra-inning games.

Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks @ Philadelphia Phillies

07/12/08 3:55 PM EDT

Arizona Diamondbacks Philadelphia Phillies
Stephen Drew - SS Shane Victorino - CF
Conor Jackson - LF Jayson Werth - RF
Orlando Hudson - 2B Jimmy Rollins - SS
Chad Tracy - 1B Ryan Howard - 1B
Mark Reynolds - 3B Pat Burrell - LF
Chris Young - CF Pedro Feliz - 3B
Alex Romero - RF Eric Bruntlett - 2B
Robby Hammock - C Carlos Ruiz - C
Randy Johnson - P Adam Eaton - P

The lineups are given above; some shakeup, with Drew batting leadoff, and Mark Reynolds returning to third-base after his "mental health" day of rest, which will hopefully clear his mind of the cobwebs which plagued him on Thursday. Again, however, the bottom half of the order is not one that strikes much fear in me; in the past three weeks, he's batting .186 [13-for-70], with only five walks. He has one home-run since the start of June too. He certainly isn't looking like the long-term solution in CF right now.

Should be about for almost all of this one. I like Saturday afternoon games. There will be beer, snacks and, let's hope, a Diamondbacks win, with Johnson continuing the return to form shown in his last start.

Not that the ump would have called it

but why did Young run around the catcher on that dropped 3rd strike? Wouldn’t that be interference?

by DbacksSkins on Jul 12, 2008 4:16 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not a bad start at all

Two runs is a help, and the lack of Chase Utley is no bad thing either. Of course, Young goes down swinging to end the inning – and I sense a 1-2-3 for us in the second. Still, that’d turn the order over to the decent half of the lineup again…

Solid work by Johnson

The first hit worried me, but he picks the runner off, gets the next one swinging and, then, after a total fluke of a bloop by Rollins, K’s the HR leader in their first ever face-off. Good work, though a few too many pitches, perhaps.

What’s with Romero at the plate? He keeps doing this thing where, as soon as the pitcher releases the ball, he obviously relaxes, because he’s not going to swing. Is he that good at recognizing the pitch, or does he just always decide before the pitch if he’ll swing or not?

Johnson pouring in the strikes

21 in 27 pitches. If he can keep up that kind of rate, we might get seven innings out of him. The bullpen would be very, very grateful for that. Be nice to get a few more runs though, just in case of a Johnson meltdown.

Speaking of which, one of the Fox keys to the game was “Not your father’s Big Unit.” I believe a conventions of psychiatrists is now being planned to discuss the psycho-sexual ramifications of that one…

When I first met the women that would become my wife, she wondered if I was gay for a while. Pretty much because I’m a big flirt, and I spent a lot of time flirting with the gay guy who hung out with us a lot.

WE WANT PRENUP.

Funnily enough, we talked about it a lot but.. um.. we didn’t end up with one. Just noticed that. Two months in. ;) Now we CAN’T divorce.

Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

You’ll just have to kill him.

Uh, I mean… Never mind.

Can't divorce two months in?

Is this something new that I should have heard about? Or like a Jewish thing?

More

it wouldn’t be very good for finances on either end.

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

Please elaborate?

I imagine the “new house” thing wouldn’t do well.

Most runs in an inning

AND Reynolds didn’t get out twice.

I feel… happy.

... screw you Burke. (Sorry, habit.)

Randy is licking his chops cuz it appears he might be on his way to his 290th win and thinking why did it take so long to get the 289th.

Wow..... holy crap is he strong.

If you watch the replay, he didn’t even square that one up…. just jacked it waaay outta the park.

And CY continues the beatdown with a single.

It wasn't a usual home run.

It was a really really really deep flyout.

And a hit for Young

We’re at double digits for hits already.

Corollary:

After the past few games, I’m starting to feel more optimistic about our bats.

Yup.

Even the games where we’ve been getting 10+ hits and still losing.

We’re taking baby steps—first, we were getting 10+ hits but only scoring like 3 runs. Then, we were getting 10+ hits, 5+ runs, but losing close.

Maybe now we’ll start winning, and return to the good life.

Does 8 count as a crooked number?

because it’s more sort of rounded?

Okay

EVERYONE IN THE LINEUP reached base safely in that inning – after there were two outs. I am jaw-dropped. Delighted – but jaw-dropped!

Maybe THIS

is the turning point ;-)

Like I said before

I think we’re not seeing a turning point, we’re seeing the results of them starting to turn.

They're a sleeping giant.

It’s a battleship—so it takes a long freaking time to turn around.

Or it's a Star Destroyer

and they’re desperately trying to turn away from the Death Star II after being rammed by an A-Wing in the bridge.

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

Dumbass,

that was a Super Star Destroyer.
