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

Onto the road go the Diamondbacks once again, with a West coast sweep that takes in three of our division rivals. We'll go on through San Diego and Los Angeles, but the first stop is San Francisco. With the Dodgers facing woeful Washington - just swept by the Giants - it's important to get off on the right foot here. And of late, there's no-one better to do so for the D-backs, than Dan Haren. In his last five starts, he has an ERA of 0.75, having allowed three earned runs in 36 innings of work, with opponents batting .165 against him over that time. His current streak of seven straight starts allowing two or less earned runs, is something even Webb hasn't done, and trails only the Big Unit (nine games in 1999), as far as franchise history goes.

Our offense has come back to life a little of late, with the July OPS of .732 being the best by the team since April. However, I am a little concerned that the collective BABIP is .322, which is a little high, and probably lucky. Hudson (.418) and Tracy (.447) are particular outliers this month; on the other hand, Jackson's .333 average is based on a BABIP just sixteen points higher. Which seems like a good place to reproduce this chart, which by coincidence popped up in my email an hour or two ago.

Baseball Prospectus Stat of the Day

Player EqA VORP
Berkman .351 62.1
Pujols .371 53.0
Teixeira .301 29.1
Jackson .293 28.4
Lee .286 26.5

File that in the large box, marked "And we would want to swap Jackson for Teixeira, why, exactly?" It's very interesting to note that, while Berkman and Pujols are light-years ahead, Jackson [salary $420K] fits in between Teixieira [$12.5] and Derrek Lee [$13.25m]. In terms of value for money, there may be no better options at the position in the National League this year.

Here's a little snippet I was forwarded, that sheds a light on why we've struggled so much this season, and why we went out and got Jon Rauch. According to Santo Lombarbarda of the Elias Sports Bureau, through Monday, only one team in the majors had a lead through six innings more often than the D-backs:

Team                        Lead   Games    Win %
St. Louis Cardinals          57      101     .564   
Arizona Diamondbacks         53       99     .535   
Milwaukee Brewers            50       99     .505   
Boston Red Sox               51      101     .505   
Texas Rangers                50      100     .500   
New York Mets                49       99     .495   
Toronto Blue Jays            49       99     .495   
Chicago Cubs                 48       99     .485   
Los Angeles Angels           48       99     .485   
Atlanta Braves               47       99     .475   

The overall figure for the Diamondbacks' bullpen also speak for themselves:

                 2007    2008   
W-L             30-19   10-18  
Blown saves        15      16     

Some bits of news. Juan Cruz will throw tonight on a rehab assignment, then probably again on Monday - and if those two outings go well, he'll be back with us in time for the tail of the Padres series, or early in the Dodgers' one. However, Justin Upton is still at least a week away and hasn't even started taking real swings as yet. Our recent draft pick [#43 overall], Wade Miley is scouted by Alex Eisenberg over at The Hardball Times, as part of his look at picks #36-43. And I was interviewed by Troy of FullOfSports.com, and we discussed the D-backs second-half prospects: it can be found within their latest podcast.

Should be around or about for tonight's game, and I think it's Azreous scheduled for the recap? Failing that, I'll get it done in the morning: we have a busy weekend in project [cabaret tomorrow, lucha libre on Sunday], so even though we have taken Monday off work, we will have to cram in as much sloth tonight as possible!

Yep.

I’m on the recap, which means we’re sure to lose. I apologize in advance.

Lineups are up early, it seems

Our guys:

S. Drew ss
C. Young cf
O. Hudson 2b
C. Jackson lf
M. Reynolds 3b
C. Tracy 1b
C. Snyder c
C. Burke rf
D. Haren p

Glad to see Orlando is good to start. Almost glad enough to ignore Burke getting the start in right….

Why oh why does BoMel continue to have Burke start in RF?

There are clearly better options to play. I understand that Sanchez is left handed, but I still think Romero would provide a better quality bat. Hell, D’antona has never played RF and he couldn’t be that much worse out there. He’d probably be the best offensive option there too, But nay, we’ll keep seeing Burke out there until Upton gets taken off the DL

Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. He can't hit, and probably never will.

by Zephon on Jul 25, 2008 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

And if it's because there's a left handed pitcher on the mound...

Why is Tracy getting the start over D’antona or Clark?

Why is Jackson back in the 4 hole with Young in the 2nd spot?

Because the guy with the best slugging average on the team is usually the guy they put in the cleanup spot?

I'd rather have the guy

with the best on base percentage on the team (by a mile) in the two hole.

That .097 OBP drop off is pretty steep. Also, since Conor is more of a doubles hitter than a home run hitter, his slugging isn’t as wasted.

I'm not really going to be around

for any of this, so should be a fairly on-topic night. Dinner and a movie for me.

I do have a question for the more internet astute, or perhaps our British breathren. I’m trying to import a couple cds, but all the prices I’ve found are ridiculous. Specifically, Jennifer Rostock and Ida Maria. If anyone knows of cheaper than $20 alternatives, I’d like to hear them (and no, downloading illegally isn’t a good answer).

What about LEGAL downloading?

Do amazon.co.uk offer that, say? I imagine there might be rights issues, but it could work out cheaper, especially with the cost of shipping physical CDs.

An inevitable problem

I’ve never been able to get two sources to sync up correctly: KTAR on the Net always lags the TV broadcast badly. There’s even a significant difference between the HD broadcast in the bedroom, and the regular one in the living-room.

That's good.

His OBP has been on a downward tick since peaking at .352 on May 18. It was at .302 coming into today, up a few points from a low of .296.

O Dawg

grounds into another DP…anyone know why he is so good at GIDP?

by AF DBacks Fanatic on Jul 25, 2008 10:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It perplexes me

Because it’s not as if he’s your prototypical slow slugger. I suspect he has a high ground-ball rate and a low strikeout rate, so he puts the ball in play, usually on the ground.

by Jim McLennan on Jul 25, 2008 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That

makes sense. His swing is much more of a slap-style than a power-style

by Snakebitten on Jul 25, 2008 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

And if

He’s batting behind those who get on base a lot [hello, Conor Jackson…], the results are an inevitable number of twin killings.

In Portuguese Matos means “Woods” (the jungle kind)—which makes it more appealing.

I’d appeal to those who know more about Spanish than I do to say what it means in Spanish. Jim, is Mrs. Snakepit around?

I missed all the fun so far due to an extended call with Dell tech support. 2nd time for a corrupt file on my new laptop. Still running diagnostics that are taking forever, so I have come back to old faithful, my desktop. If they can’t fix it I am demanding a brand new laptop because the one I have is evil.

I saw the first run and the homer by CoJack. Liking what is happening so far, mostly that SF had men on 3rd that never scored.

I love

being in San Luis Obispo during the summer, but man does it get chilly at night.

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!

Oh, yeah

I always think back to Fourth of July at Pismo Beach. Yikes.

My nana used to live

in Cayucos. The Morro Bay area is like heaven on earth.

Great game.

Buckner looked real shaky at first, but I had faith he’d get the last three outs with out giving up a run.

Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. He can't hit, and probably never will.

So apparently

the boys in Sedona Red did good tonight.

I don't know

I was really hoping for a little more safety padding, but I guess it will do.

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