Arizona Diamondbacks @ Philadelphia Phillies


Ari_medium

Brandon Webb
RHP, 13-4, 3.27
phi_medium

Cole Hamels
LHP, 9-6, 3.18

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

Should be a good pitching match-up today: Webb has more wins than anyone in the National league, but Hamels has a slightly better ERA, and his WHIP trails only Dan Haren, so I think base-runners may be at a premium for us. It'll be a good test of our offense, who are apparently feeling slightly better: they did a tap-dance number, in hobnailed boots, on Adam Eaton yesterday, so they now get to step up and face a better quality of pitcher in Hamels. It's kinda like the boss level in a video game: we took out Glass Joe, now it's time to face Bald Bull [ah, Punch-Out! There was an arcade classic...]

A fair bit at stake here: a series win against the leaders of the NL East, on the road, would be a great way to finish the first-half, and it would also be nice to go into the break above .500, rather than below it. The Dodgers lost in extra innings to the Marlins last night, so that puts them two back, and guarantees we will have sole possession of first-place until play restarts for us next Friday. Thanks to a quirk of the schedule giving us an extra day off, that contest will also feature Webb as our starter. It's not often you get to have back-to-back games from your ace, and we should take advantage. Here's to a win in the first of the "Webb double-header".

Not sure how much I will actively be about - this preview is brought to you, courtesy of the 'Schedule for Publish' button! It's a 10:35am start, and Sunday mornings are usually reserved for slothful slumpage. Though the game may well drift across our retinas, if the eyelids are open...

I was impressed that you were up and about so early, til I read your explanation about the “Schedule for Publish”. Ain’t technology great? We can read this and you can sleep. (Should I mentally pronounce that “Shedule?)

Morning

Once again I pulled an all nighter, working on a bunch of random crap. I’m going to watch the game and hit the hay when it’s over.

Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

Left-handed pitcher

So makes sense to take Tracy out of the clean-up spot, since the received wisdom is, he can’t hit them. Seemed to do okay yesterday though. Otherwise, Melvin not interfering with a good thing. But once more – look at that bottom third and join with me, as I go “Ugh.”

hope this means that Tracy has learned to pick up left handed pitching. It’d be really nice to have TWO lefties (Drew and Tracy) who don’t NEED to be replaced against a left handed starter.

so...

do I dare go to Dodgerland on August 1st? My best friend and I are going to LA that weekend, and I really want to go (I’ve never been to Dodger Stadium) but I’d rather not get beaten up.

and you should be okay.

We were in the upper deck

Behind first-base. Quite high, but very pleasant.

I went last season

when they were playing the Cards. I was in Simi Valley for a week on business, so I wandered on down to catch a game and cheer against the dodgers. I got some weird looks and a few good natured comments, but it was all in good fun.

Even I can handle 9 bucks for a seat wayyyy in the stratosphere behind home plate.

However...

It will cost you more than that to park… Unless you buy your tix from a season-ticket holder, as they get parking passes.

Dodger stadium is a nice place to see a game. At worst, you spent an afternoon at the ballpark.

If that's the worst

then I can do that day in and day out!!

I’ve never had any troubles there.

We had no problems there

And we were fully Dbacks-clad. As long as you join the crowd when they boo Andruw Jones, you’ll be fine. :-) Not an area to hang around in though. Drive there, park at the stadium, drive away.

I'm liking that the Dodger website gives you a picture from the section.
