Arizona Diamondbacks @ Colorado Rockies


Ari_medium

Dan Haren
RHP, 12-6, 3.00
lad_medium

Glendon Rusch
LHP, 5-3, 5.22

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

Definitely be very good to win this one today, and put the pressure back on to the Dodgers to win their evening game against the Phillies. Haren was more than a bit shaky in his last outing: it was probably his worst of the season, as he allowed six earned runs in 5.1 innings against Atlanta, taking the loss.

Rush has been decent, though appears only good for about six innings at the most. His last six outings have been consistent, always going between five and six innings, and allowing between one and three earned runs. However, those included two games against Pittsburgh, one against the Padres and another facing the pre-Manny Dodgers, and I'd like to think our offense will present a bit more of a challenge than those teams.

For obvious, work-related reasons, my active presence will be limited, but monitoring will be taking place to make sure we don't have any repetition of the unpleasantness that broke out at one point yesterday. I have an array of tools at my disposal, and will have no hesitation in using them. That said, let's go kick Rockies' ass, win the series, win the season series and head on to Houston, knowing we'll still be at least tied for first.

Today's lineup
  1. S. Drew ss .281
  2. C. Young cf .234
  3. C. Jackson lf .309
  4. A. Dunn rf .234
  5. M. Reynolds 3b .248
  6. C. Tracy 1b .286
  7. C. Snyder c .245
  8. C. Burke 2b .196
  9. D. Haren p .151

Burke gets to start at second-base. I hope Reynolds is taking ground-balls… Upton 5-for-12 in three rehab games for Tucson, though the Sidewinders have been outscored 33-10 in the first two games of their series against Colorado Springs.

lol

Burke actually did something good last night, and still gets hated on!! But seriously, i wouldn’t mind seeing him in the minors! lol. THe only way I see that happening is if they do move Reynolds to 2nd base, and have Augie there as a back up for him, because basically, like today, Burke will be at 2nd probably every 3rd or 4th game at 2nd base.

by ZonaBacks10 on Aug 14, 2008 2:48 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not till rosters expand in September, I think

I’d rather see him at the back of the rotation. But he’s more likely to replace Rosales there, then Burke.

Haren needs to have a good start today. He has been struggling early on, as of late, so he needs to put up zero in the first.
