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.

Now we really need to pump it up and start a long winning streak.

Guys, it's okay.
Now we KNOW we’re gonna win the division, because we got Will Ledezma.

Probably our biggest series so far, and if we can win both this weekend and next, we’ll be in great shape for the playoffs. Go out and get it done, guys.

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.

I read
that the D’backs will be wearing jerseys that say Los D’backs tomorrow. The Suns did that to honor the Hispanic community that said Los Suns. That looked weird!
Sutton & Grace
both wearing sportcoats, very focused on the game. None of the usual smirking nonsense so far.
There ought
to be enough real interest in this game without the slapstick.

Excuse the rant
but this is why there needs to be instant replay on everything. We could only see the play on a super- slo mo! Imagine trying to see if a 90-mph pitch with six inches with movement is a ball or a strike. If they wanted replay and computerization, they could make the technology, but blown calls ruin games and seasons.
162 games in a season.
Blown calls do NOT ruin seasons.
(Except for Matt Holliday at the plate, but since that blew the Padres’ season, I don’t mind.)

That big except
still means that thousands of fans were cheated out of a playoff berth. Had the call been correct, I bet the D-Backs would have gone to the World Series, or at least had a better chance at it.
I would have ben very happy
if the umpire had made that call. But I’m torn on making wider use of replay. The D-Backs have done an awful lot to ruin this season on their own, these umpiring mistakes are just bitter little sprinkles on a melted pile of missed opportunites and lost potential.
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
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.
Yeah
Snyder made an uncharacteristically terrible throw. A halfway decent throw and Ethier gets called out 99 times out of 100.
Still a sensational play by Reynolds goes for naught. Good teams, ass you suggest, overcome this stuff all the time.

A great AB for Snyder. He’s really evolved into a solid catcher, both offensively and defensively. Before 2007, I thought Montero was the catcher of the future, but not so.
Really?
Prior to 2008, Baseball America put him behind Upton, CY, Carlos Gonzalez and Callaspo in terms of top prospects.
Callaspo?
5 star prospect at what? Hitting his wife??

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.
