Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
After the slugfest that erupted last time these two met, I'm not going to go out and predict a pitching duel tonight. It will be interesting to see how the two pitchers - and Haren in particular - adjust their game-plan as a result of the encounter. Our man thought that the Padres were going up with the intent of being aggressive early in the count, looking for fastballs, so don't be surprised to see him throw a lot more first-pitch breaking balls. Of course, the hitters could well be looking for those now, so... etc. etc. Such is the joy of baseball! Gravity already posted his preview of the game as a Fanpost, and that pretty much says everything else I need to, so let's turn the mic over to him:
Deja Vu? Perhaps, it has in fact been just one rotation since last these juggernauts of the mount met in a not-so-great pitcher's duel. Danny Haren and Jake Peavy both gave up more runs in their last encounter than either had in a fair amount of time in an absolute surprise. So is it safe to expect the same tonight when the two meet up once more? I doubt it, and you should to. While Dan Haren has certainly seen his share of rocky outings lately, and Peavy has underperformed this season in comparison to his Cy Young Campaign of 07, it would baffle me to see either man pitch as badly as they did in the last encounter.
Tonight's D'Backs/Pads game is the only one in the series we've any reason to fear because of Jake Peavy's ever-intimidating presence but the need to worry is a small one. Peavy has been, in a word, mediocre, in his career against the Snakes. Yes, we all remember the outings where he struck out more batters than Randy Johnson at a little league game, but Peavy has also run into trouble against this team more times than we seem to remember. With Haren sure to bounce back tonight, and the D'Backs itching to hit a little more than they did in last night's embarrassment, I'd be honestly be more shocked if the Padres do win this one. Calling it now, Snakes win 6-2, as long as Brandon Lyon doesn't get too twitchy in the late game. How about a CG, Danny?

End of the first in Philly
Both sides waste decent chances: leadoff double for LA, first and third no outs for PH. Still scoreless.

Two more runners on base for LA – Myers walked Billingsley – but Kemp takes strike 3 to end their half. Rollins just singled home two runs.

The first snows of the season gives you the chance to play my favorite game on a college campus. As you walk around the first few weeks of classes, you’ll notice a lot of freshman standing outside the buildings smoking- many of them decided they wanted to do something cool and start smoking as soon as their mother wasn’t around to smell it on them. So, note them, and then look around during the first snow, as many of them realize, “Aw, crap, it’s cold outside, I don’t want to smoke this much!”

Oh, dude, no
Foulpole is obviously an adherent to the McCoy school of baseball. William McCoy was a farmer in the 1930s, and when his farm went under during the Dustbowl, he started playing and coaching baseball, saying that each position on the team needed a characteristic of a different vegetable or grain he grew. Catchers needed the patience of a potato, for example, and managers needed the internal fire of a beet.
Notably, this is also where the term “can of corn” comes from.

Oh.... more classiness.
Clay had a pitch get away from him that got too close to Haren.
Haren cried and stared him down.

I don't think
we need a play by play of GLB’s stupidity. We already know it.

11 Ks for Haren tonight.
Season high.
This Dan Haren fellow is pretty good. We should sign him longterm.
Wait…….

Haren
outpitched Jake Peavy AGAIN.
Unfortunately, if we don’t get a run soon, we don’t give Haren a win.

How's the thread for everybody??
We’re over 530… is it slowing for people? We may want to think about a move next half inning for the change in mojo…

I was just checking that myself.
It’s remarkably unsticky for being so long.
