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

It's going to be an interesting weekend. See the series preview from earlier today for more analysis of the matchups, which I figured I should so, since I don't know exactly how much I am going to be about between now and Sunday night. I have, in fact, already written the Gameday Thread for tomorrow's contest, as it's one less thing I need to do tomorrow - we have our Fear Film Festival, and I don't think I am going to be online from about 9am for the rest of the day. I probably won't even know if Haren has managed to get the W until Sunday morning. Azreous is on the recap for that one.

Tonight, we'll be at the game, toting our new digital camera: this probably means that the post-game recap will be long on visuals and short on actual words. We're just hoping that there isn't a repeat of last night's storm, because the roof might end up getting blown off Chase Field. As long as it's happening due to the cheers of Diamondbacks fans inside, that's fine. There is word that Justin Upton may be activated in time for tonight, but what that might mean for everyone else in the line-up, Melvin isn't saying. Max Scherzer is reportedly also back up, presumably for use tonight in case Davis needs a quick hook.

A victory would be a great way to start off the weekend: only once have we lost more than four games in a row this season, and it hasn't happened since May. Putting some runs on the board early would be a big help, settling our nerves and, we hope, hammering another nail into the Dodgers' coffin. However, I will likely be more nervous if our bullpen enters the game with the lead, all the way until the final out is recorded. It's time to win.

Half the things out of his mouth are completely inaccurate. You should have heard him the last time RJ threw against them going on for THREE INNINGS about how the umpire made RJ take the batting glove off from under his glove. You say, RJ doesn’t wear a batting glove under his glove on the mound… And you would be correct. The umpire made him remove his sweat band from his glove. But I got to hear about a supposed batting glove for THREE INNINGS. Goodness.

My feeling is that if baseball were starting to be played in the modern era, where the technology to make fair calls could have been used, it would of. The notion that umpires is the way that baseball should be played is ridiculous, as an umpire was the fairest way of making calls in a time where a computer wouldn’t even be imagined.

Dunn

It’d be interesting to find out if any other player has a bigger gap b/w his BA and OBP. Dunn’s is nearly 150 points. I imagine Bonds had gaps bigger than that… but I can’t think of any others that would rival that.

Made a big splash

in the 1972 Series with 4 homers and was MVP.

Low average, very respectable power – and just huge walk totals. Fell below most fans’ radar prior to the Bill James revolution. Today he’d be a rock star.
