Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Another chance to put together a three-game winning streak this afternoon - and if we don't manage it today, odds are we won't be doing it this side of the All-Star break. Lannan has the best ERA of any of the Washington starters, but over his past ten starts, they have scored only nineteen runs in support, and never more than three in any game. That would explain why he has one win during that time.
Though based on yesterday's performance, we're going to struggle almost as hard to get any runs across - we were the beneficiaries of two gift runs, thanks to the Nationals defense. Can't rely on that every time. Of course, it'd help if the bottom of our batting order was not a Gurgling Vortex of Suck (TM), but I haven't seen today's lineup yet, so I don't know how many Triple-A players are in the lineup. With another LHP on the mound for the opposition, I wouldn't be surprised to see Micah batting above the likes of Burke and Hammock, if they're playing.
Oh, and file under "News which is kinda ambivalent," Eric Byrnes is going to try and recover without surgery. However, it's still uncertain whether he'll be back before the end of the season. Personally, I'm worried less about when he comes back, and more that whenever he does, he is genuinely able to play at 100%. Without that, he might as well not bother coming back.

OK, jus tkidding.
FWIW, ROb Neyer’s blog at ESPn is about the DBacks and Bonds. His take? Go find a RH platoon partner essentially for Chad Tracy. He talks about a LFer (and running CoJack back and forth) but it occurs to me that you could also get a 1B who can hit lefties as well. Really shouldn’t be that hard to find a RH bat that can play left or 1st which are the 2 easiest defensive positions. CoJack certainly doesn’t seem any worse in LF than he was at 1st.
Another good poitn he makes is that it’s funny that the Dbacks had too many good prospects (plus Eric Byrnes) last year so they traded away Quentin and now suddenly they have a shortage of good OF bats. . . .
Rob Neyer must read my posts

must have missed that one. You are probably dead on if they can get someone without giving up much. I think if they have to actually trade legit prospects though, they need to get back more than a 3 month rental platoon partner.

Here's ESPN's list
of free agents from last off-season: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/features/freeagents
Ugh – among the still unsigned there are lots of re-treads on there – Lofton, Preston Wilson, Ryan Klesko, etc.
I only saw 2 names that were mildly intriguing – Reggie Sanders (905 OPS last year in very limited time) and Mike Piazza (probably can still hit but didn’t want to play 1B and probably still doesn’t want to).
Maybe they could sign Bonds and then also sign Clemens to take the heat off a Bonds signing. . . .

I seriously don't understand this.
Sometimes he chooses to completely forget the CW - for example, batting on-base-challenged CY leadoff - and in other ways, he absolutely refuses to buck it, even though it might actually help the team—for example, starting the lefty Drew against a LHP.

Interesting contrast
On the radio, they keep saying how Micah’s not pitching well, he’s not in command of his pitches, he needs to focus, etc.
On the TV, Gracie keeps telling us how well Micah is pitching.
The number of hit batters and walking in a run means I’m siding with the radio team…

Do we have a player...
or a coach who can gather the team and whip up a little energy. These guys look like they’re content to go quietly through the rest of the game.
For the record
Two pitchers since 1956 have had five walk, three HBP outings that resulted in one earned run.
Victor Zambrano – 2003-06-13
Chris Codiroli – 1990-09-01
The latter walked eight in 4.2 innings, but didn’t allow a single run.
2-0
Shot to right just over Bonifacio’s reach, fortunately we only give up one run.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
When Bonifacio ran in
on that ball over his head, I think that was the fastest I’ve ever seen an out of position player run the wrong way on a ball.
Verrrry exciting player

Mercifully over. Now we go to cheer for the Braves…
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Keys to fixing the team:
1. Fire Bob Melvin. Hire my seven year old niece as the new manager
2. DFA Chris Burke. Sign Barry Bonds
Please platoon Chad Tracy with someone other than Chris Burke!
Even if your niece isn’t any better than Melvin, we’ll at least understand that she’s only a kid, and we’d feel bad if we did complain about her decisions too much.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Exactly
And I’m sure she’d show a lot more enthusiasm out there than BoMel.

Sadly
That’s the truth. What position(s) would Manilow play? What intangibles does he bring to the team?

Hey Zephon,
I’m not logged on right now, but I’ll be on AIM a bit later.

Do we really have to ask what intangibles
Barry Manilow would bring?
The voice and the hair aren’t enough?
:-P
Two days later, Eric Byrnes missed three games for excessive crying, and started listening to emo. At the same time, Emily changed her name to emilylovesthedbacksexceptthatloserericbyrnes.

I'm sure I can talk her into hiring me as the new bench coach

I would stake out bench coach,
since I’m clearly as hardcore as KGib, but Zephon already called it. :-(

Dibs on first base coach
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Damn....
Still waiting for suggestions, from Emily or otherwise.
Hitting coach? There were a few months where I had a real affinity for barfights, even though I’m all of 5’6? That should count for good hitting, right?
Mark Reynolds: Turning me gay since '07
If nothing else, Augie’ll appreciate having someone who understands how he feels.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
+1
I don’t have any suggestions for any of you regarding coaching positions. I said I was accepting applications. :-)

I’m driving to Phx and back – from Vegas – every weekend , to keep the Dad thing going. This runs me about $100 in gas …Bonds in S,Red would more than double that weekend outlay – but wait! I could cut back on the support payments…
So when you’re deciding on that desperation grab at fleeting pennant hopes…think of the children.
Thank you.

How about that Brandon Jennings going to Europe
Thats real pointing’s being a Cat fan. Zona is gonna just be mediocre this year. Thew consecutive NCAA tourneys appearances will be at stake
Lute shouldn't have returned.
They treated Kevin O’Neill like shit, and I think that’s gonna bite them in the ass.

2-1 now
Francoeur homered [wasn’t he down in Double-A??], but Kotsay was caught stealing second to end the eighth inning.
Which, incidentally...
Gives Broxton the interesting line of 0.1 IP, 0 pitches thrown…
by Jim McLennan on Jul 10, 2008 12:04 AM EDT up reply actions
Ah, turns out
He actually threw two pitches. Dammit. I was working on a scenario where the game was tied, he got the final out of the eighth, the Dodgers scored in the ninth, and then Saito closed it out, to give Broxton the Win without throwing a pitch.
Never mind. :-)

Sounds like
he’d fit in with us.

hey Jim
do you have the MLB package or the MLB on the TV or are you just watching gamecast?
Just Gamecast
I’m simultaneously writing up the latest piece of horror non-fiction, which was our game in Washington.
