Pittsburgh Pirates @ Arizona Diamondbacks

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

Back home we go, and after a tough road-trip against divisional opponents, we have a bit of break, with a home stand against two NL teams, currently with identical records of 51-60. We really should be looking, at the very least, to win four of these six games. With Haren, Webb and Johnson going for us in this series, a sweep is by no means impossible, since over their last five starts, their lines are:
   Haren: 3-1, 1.95 ERA, 38 K, 5 BB
   Webb: 3-0, 1.75 ERA, 30 K, 8 BB
   Johnson: 5-0, 1.39 ERA, 25 K, 2 BB
That's a total of 15 starts, an 11-1 record, a 1.71 ERA over 105.1 innings, and a K:BB ratio of 93:15. Our rotation should certainly be the ones doing the pillaging here, not the Pirates.

The question-mark may seem to hang more over our offense, after a series in Los Angeles where they scored a total of nine runs in four games. However, that was against the best pitching staff in the National League (ERA+ of 121) - we now go from the sublime to the ridiculous and face the very worst staff. And it's not even close: Pittsburgh's ERA+ is 80, a long way below 15th-placed Florida, at 91. On the road, they've allowed 6.32 runs per game, the worst such figure in the National League since the 2000 Cubs (6.36). So, if Los Angeles pitching was the disease that ailed our offense, then Pittsburgh are arriving with a large dose of the cure...

It being Monday, I will be entering stealth mode for the game, viewing it from the wifi-less, yet Stella Artois lush, environment which is the Grand Avenue Tavern. So no comments from me...

Yea, O Snakepitters, but do not fear Jim's absence.

For with the return of DbacksSkins, you shall surely be accompanied by the predictably steady and uncontrollable stream of inane comments, both on- and off-topic.

A thin substitute for Jim’s posting, to be sure, yet still a substitute.

I think we were caught off-guard by a sudden appearance of a winning road trip, so there was some distraction.

C. Jackson lf
C. Tracy 1b
M. Reynolds 3b
A. Romero rf
C. Young cf
C. Snyder c
D. Haren p

Romero’s gotten the start in right field in seven or eight of our last ten games, which has to make us all feel a bit happier- I only hope Burke doesn’t take the position for SnakePitFest, or else mrssoco might be escorted from the stadium.

Marlins 15th in pitching?

I am shocked…only saw them vs us but they kept rolling out the young live arms and we scored something like 1 run/game vs them. Must have been our bats or lack thereof?

Wrong.

Dewitt, 280 AB – .257/.324/.364 79 OPS+

He had a hot month of May but has been quickly exposed by major league pitchers. By merit, he should be in AA right now – he has less than 200 at bats there and didn’t even hit all that well in the southern league (.281/.306/.466). I can only hope that he’s on the major league roster next season.

Great pitching and no offense

has never helped the Padres win squat. And with Boras as Scherzer’s agent, do you REALLY think he’ll stick around once his arb years are up?

Our offense can at least put up 3 or 4 runs a game.

And if we average 3.5 runs per game,

(3 or 4, as you put it) we’re not going to win many games with our ERA at 3.89.

Total ERA at 3.89.

If Webb, Haren, and Scherzer stay at 3.00 we will win alot of games and playoff series.

Yes

but also recall that other teams don’t play their scrub pitchers during the postseason, either.

Me too.

But our problem is the offense. Not the pitching.

But the offense is good enough score enough runs to win games.

Given our record after we started out 12 games over .500,

I’ll wait around to make a judgment on this statement.

Sounds good.

Then I guess our offense isn't as bad as you guys think it is.

Cause we are still in first place.
