Arizona Diamondbacks @ San Diego Padres

Randy Johnson
LHP, 10-9, 4.03

Cha Seung Baek
RHP, 4-9, 5.08

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

Randy Johnson is on the mound this afternoon, not only to go for win #295 but to stop the bleeding of our starting pitchers. After a tough loss by Haren (and Rauch) and a disappointing start from Webb, Randy absolutely needs to be Good Randy to avoid the sweep. Because, seriously, a sweep by the Padres would not help our street cred, 'yo.

Luckily, we face a pitcher who has lost his last 3 starts by giving up 5, 2, and 5 runs. ... And that's all I know about him, unfortunately. Research on your own, everybody, sorry!

Early start today... let's hope the game and the Gameday Thread can lure some people away from work! On a more serious note, there was an incident last night of impersonation of another member. This behavior is not acceptable, and action will be taken if it happens again. Thanks for your cooperation.

About 20 minutes till we can say.... PLAY BALL!

Good thing I checked the page before I hit post. =)

Randy’s on a good stretch here- since the All Star Break, he’s got a 1.56 ERA, and he’s given us a quality start in every outing. The only times he’s taken the loss is when our offense has been shut-out, so if we can get the bats working this afternoon, that’d be just great…

About Baek

We’ve faced him twice this year, both times in July. In the first outing, he shut us out for 6 innings. In the second, he gave up 5 runs in 4.1 innings. So, hopefully we’ll see more of the second from him.

Let me guess.

The shut out was at PetCo, and the 5 runs were at Chase.

it’s because he hardly swung. A one-handed soft swing at the ball and it was lobbed into left-center.

passed gas?

Didn’t he give up a 3 spot the inning after we scored 4 for him?

and no, I am not making excuses for the bullpen. This type of game is exactly what I’ve come to expect anymore from this team.

How can they look pretty good one week and so damn lame another?

Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

Is there one guy in our bullpen that can go one inning without giving up a run or 2 or 3?

We can NOT

expect the Dodgers to lose to the Nationals AGAIN….

I hate the bullpen.

I hate the hitters.

I hate the defense.

I hate the “managing”.

I hate the “coaching”.

Basically, I hate everything about this team except the starters.
