Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Six years ago today, the Arizona Diamondbacks trailed 1-0 in the eighth inning in San Diego. But they scored two in that inning, and added five more in the ninth, to beat the Padres 7-1. The victory started a streak where we won eight of nine, and which moved us five games ahead in the National League West - we largely cruised from that point on. Why do I mention this? Because six years ago today, Mrs. SnakePit and I also got married, back in Scotland. We will therefore not be about for much of the thread today, for obvious reason [we're going to see Wall-E this afternoon, and then out for a long, leisurely dinner somewhere]
Yesterday's win was very much needed, and if Webb is on form, will hopefully be followed by another one this afternoon. After a shaky June, with an ERA of 4.76, Webb seems to have bounced back, with just two earned runs in thirteen innings over his last couple of starts. In July he also has a K:BB ratio of 18:4, significantly better than June's figure of 22:9. Over at the Republic, Nick Piecoro looked at the pitch F/x data for Webb, measuring the horizontal and vertical movement on his pitches. It looks like there was less horizontal slide during his downturn, but the last few starts seem to show a greater degree of sink, and that may explain the greater success of late.
Every other game over the past six, Lowe has allowing one earned run - the good news is, he did it last time, so based entirely on that, should be ripe for the plucking today. Yeah, I'd like something based on more than numerology too. Of the current D-backs, O-Dawg has had great success against him, going 11-for-29 and so has Drew, albeit in a small sample-size (6-for-14). Tony Clark is 4-for-27, so we may not see him start - though three of those four hits left the park, and neither Conor Jackson (0-for-6) nor Chad Tracy (6-for-24) have lit up Lowe. Still, an important game to win today, and give us a spot of breathing room before the Cubs come to town.

and they asked me to be the ringbearer, (I was 5 or 6 at the time) they wanted me to wear a kilt, but I was afraid to.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Of course,
if it were these days, it’d be awesome and I’d TOTALLY wear a kilt.

I’d be interesting in knowing Lowe’s career numbers against us. It seems like he owns us. If Webby wasn’t on the bump I’d be very pessimistic about the game today.
"There are only two seasons: winter and baseball"
-- Bill Veeck
According to what I can find on ESPN...
He’s 4-6 against us in his career.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
4-6 with an ERA of 4.26
However, he is winless in six starts at Chase.
Of course, dunno how many of the players he faced before are still with us.

Three of those losses came in 2005, when he went 0-3 against us, though. He’s been better since then.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Yeah....
I was gonna say, I don’t think Lowe has ever been particularly good against us, actually….

There is an issue
With our file storage, so some pics probably won’t be working.
Clark does get the start at first, despite his poor record against Lowe compared to Tracy. I’m down at The Sets – we’re waiting for Mrs. SnakePit to her share of the proceeds from the World Series of Beer Pong, whose local qualifiers were held there last night. So will likely be able to see a few innings here…
Direct TV

This should be the 3rd straight game scoring in the first inning.

Clark grounded out up the middle,
O-Dawg got caught in a rundown, eventually made it back diving into 1B when Nomar decided to chase him down himself.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Hang on
O-Dawg makes a GOOD base-running play? Are you sure? :-)
by Jim McLennan on Jul 20, 2008 4:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, not so much O-Dawg making a good play
as Nomar making a dumb play.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Clark grounded to the second baseman, who went to tag Hudson. Hudson hung up between first and second, so they had to throw it to first to get the force there, and then they tossed it to Nomar, who tried to run Hudson down, but Hudson dived straight back to first and made it back before they could get the ball to first and tag.
It was a pretty good play, you don’t see one like it often. Hopefully they’ll show it again later.

Back to Webb
In 52 innings over the past three seasons against the Dodgers, Brandon Webb has allowed seven runs (1.21 ERA) on 44 hits and 13 walks. He has started seven games, and he is 7-0.
Think the Dodgers are happy to be seeing him?
Not as happy
as I am!
They were involved in his streak last season too.

So..... both teams have heeded Grace's advice about being aggressive on the basepaths.
This has led to Nomar getting thrown out at 2B and Reynolds getting thrown out at 3B.

Please explain again why Tony Clark is starting over him??
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.

Etc.
No, it doesn’t make any sense to me. I think we will have to wait until Clark is 1-for-13 before it starts to get through to Melvin.

I mean....
I guess that with a groundball pitcher like Brandon Webb on the mound, you like to have the improved defense, but I really think Tracy’s been fairly solid at 1B this year….

strike 2 was literally about 6 inches outside.
Looks like this ump is the opposite of the ump from two nights ago…. this guy’s got a wide but short K zone.

"worse pain he's ever had!"?
All I can say is childbirth now STFU
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
I always hate when girls use this (no offense)
Men will never ever know how horrible childbirth is so he will never have comparison, you know? So to him it IS the worst pain he will ever have. Plus I have no idea how getting hit in the… um. junk? would feel like. (Even if my guy friends have tried to explain it to me. All I get is that it isn’t pain really as the sickest nausea and roller coaster stomach drop you have ever felt.)
Plus, child birth leads to child. Hit in the nuts ends with … a lot of ribbing from journalist/fans/friends/team mates/ Sutton and Grace.

But—after the inning ended, he just went into the corner of the dugout and did the surgery himself.

He bobbled it?
That’s how it goes sometimes.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
He made a decision
we have the advantage of slowing it down.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
It wasn’t the decision that was frustrating. It was the way the ball bounced out of his glove because he was looking at second base instead of looking at the ball.
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
Of course that's frustrating
the same with most errors, but he probably still could have made a play at second. I can’t blame him for not doing it though, only for the initial terrible bobble on such an easy play.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!

Yeah, they should have be contending for the AL West title, but just dropped like a rock. That’s a big reason, I think for their manager getting dumped so quickly.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
You're right
They are a special breed of disappointing. And even if the D-Backs keep up the exasperatingly uneven play, at least they have some upside. Not sure that I can say that about the Mariners.
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
I'd almost say the same thing about the Rockies
They lose four coming into the break, then just swept the Pirates in four today, are 9-1 at home with the Dodgers coming into town, but will undoubtedly go back to fail with a big road trip coming up soon. It’s more painful when you keep thinking you can put something together, only to fail. Of course with Jorge de la Rosa and Glendon Rusch in the same rotation, failure shouldn’t be too unexpected.

Ugh. Just ugh.
This series should have been a clean sweep. We could be four games up on the Dodgers, and we should. Our bullpen just collapsed- a partial collapse once, and a total collapse twice. The blame doesn’t lie entirely on them, though- we only managed to score one run after the sixth inning in any of these games.
How big of a mistake was trying to turn that triple into an inside-the-park home run now?
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"

Your answer confuses me.

his triple would have scored one. We could go into fantasy land and assume more runs, but we can only know with any certainty that one run.

It’s not as if he’s ever going to say anything NICE about the Dbacks.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
I am actually kind of surprised we haven’t seen anyone blow up in the dugout. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. On the good side, it shows some self control and a willingness to work together. On the bad side, this team is neck deep in the toilet and no one’s uttered a peep.

See, now that’s a troll post.

It's surprisingly
innocuous, until you click on the profile and see where else they post. People are getting trickier these days.

Yeah, but I still check
I can’t always assume- otherwise, I’d think you’re a Twins fan.

I’d think ‘Skins is a Redskins fan.

Touche. God that would be awful if I was a Twins fan and my twin sister and I had to wear shirts that actually said Twins on the front.
That would be hilariously awful
like a really bad sitcom.

Wow. That’s more detective work than I’m usually ready to take on a Sunday evening. Guess I can be grateful for another chance to vent some post-meltdown spleen.
Drat and blast! That was a frustrating game.

The only way that would happen
is if he bum rushes the Buffalo bench. It’s hard to take out a second string QB.

Trent Edwards
look, it really doesn’t matter because it’ll probably change by next season. The closest thing Buffalo has had to a franchise quarterback to succeed Jim Kelly was Flutie, and we all know how that ended.

Oh, that's right.
Hmmm…. I always liked Flutie, but that could also be because he was like 5’8. He was the Augie Ojeda of NFL quarterbacks.
Plus, he kicked a dropkick for the Pats a few years ago, and THAT’S just plain awesome.

Well, 4 super bowls in 4 years is pretty sweet.
Even if they’re all losses.
Heck, that’s why they used to call Andy Reid the “poor man’s Marv Levy”, back when he couldn’t ever make it past the NFC title game.

There's nothing sweet about it
at least now they’ve been bad enough that even flirting with the playoffs is pretty exciting.

I seem to recall
you guys beating us last year. Granted, it was the first game after SeanTay was murdered. :-(

Well
they have their good days. Unfortunately only about 6 a year, but I guess they give it the ole college try.
Knock off the hippie crap, strap on a helmet, and start shooting. This is baseball, Diamondbacks, I want you to storm that beach like it's Normandy!
Well, that was also
the game that they only started 10 men on the field for the first defensive play (to honor SeanTay) and you guys immediately picked up like 27 yards.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
That was such a controversy
over at a Bills site I go to. Half the people thought it was disrespectful of the Bills to try so hard against 10 men, and the other half was like, “hey, free yardage!”

Random question.
Has it been raining out in anyone else’s part of town? Because we’re surrounded by ominous clouds, but no rain. :-(
And according to the news today, we’re pretty much the only part of the valley with no rain.

It was POURING last night in midtown Tucson.
Got stuck at somebody’s house for literally like an hour and a half while waiting for a cab, because their computer system was down.

No rain here
But we got a huge storm in the middle of the night last night.
As I’m typing, I hear thunder. So hopefully soon.

It's been thundering and lightning.... err, lightninging.... all day today,
but no rain here. Only off to the far south and far north.

Not tonight
just humid and the wind died down. We are still drying out from that flood a week ago.
