Gameday Thread, #98: 7/20 vs. Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 20, 2008 4:10 PM EDT

Brandon Webb
RHP, 13-4, 3.23

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.

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.

Three of those losses came in 2005, when he went 0-3 against us, though. He’s been better since then.

Clark does get the start at first, despite his poor record against Lowe compared to Tracy.

Give some credit to Hudson for avoiding the out in the first place, so the run-down became necessary.

"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"

by kishi on Jul 20, 2008 4:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

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.

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.

Last year Lyon did quite well with

4 solid pitches. This year they told him to only work on 2. Makes it a lot easier to guess which pitch is coming. Moran Melvin.

Snydes never seems to get the concept of blocking the plate. Don’t move 5 feet away from the plate so that that is where they throw the ball then try to tag the runner going past.

It's surprisingly

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

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.

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.

by DbacksSkins on Jul 21, 2008 1:13 AM EDT up reply actions  

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.

But we got a huge storm in the middle of the night last night.

As I’m typing, I hear thunder. So hopefully soon.
