Pittsburgh Pirates at Arizona Diamondbacks, Aug 5, 2008 9:40 PM EDT
|
|
Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Last night's little slugfest increased the Pirates' runs per game allowed away from home to 6.44. That pushed them past the 2000 Cubs, and makes them the worst pitching NL team on the road, at least since the mounds were lowered in the last sixties - so, I'm probably thinking, they're the worst all-time. During 54 road games, they have now allowed nine or more runs in fifteen of them. [As a comparison, Arizona have done so just twice in 59 games.] It's especially startling when you remember they are likely only pitching eight innings in most of these games.
Here's to this trend continuing tonight, and maybe Webb will be able to get his ERA down below three, joining the newly-extended Haren there. 2.1 shutout frames, 5.1 innings of one-run ball, or 8.1 innings giving up two runs, would all do it. Be nice if the offense could crank out another 18 hits, like last night. That jacked up the team's season OPS by seven points, the biggest jump for a single game since May 15 [when we'd had about one-third the number of at-bats].
Last night's starter for the Pirares was sent down to Double-A after his performance. Their staff overall threw only 86 strikes in 165 pitches, and six of our runs reached base thanks to a free pass. Take those out of the game, and it could have been very different; in contrast, we only allowed one walk to the Pirates - Lyon's to the lead-off hitter in the ninth. I don't think we can rely on such charity again this evening: I would be happy to settle for a quality start, solid bullpen and enough offense to take the win.

Tonight's line-up
- S. Drew ss .278
- C. Young cf .234
- O. Hudson 2b .306
- C. Jackson lf .316
- M. Reynolds 3b .251
- T. Clark 1b .231
- C. Snyder c .247
- C. Burke rf .191
- B. Webb p .152
Chris Young’s three hits apparently merits instant promotion to the #2 spot. Clark and Burke get the start against left-handers, as per usual.

I guess we’re just lucky that, with three hits and a walk, CY isn’t back to hitting lead-off.

Because Romero and Burke are both sucking against LHP this season, but Burke is at least taking walks, it looks like.

Don't know
Burke fills a lot more positions in the field than Salazar. Salazar wasn’t hitting well either, though.

Salazar is a little like Hairston...
and doesn’t do as well in a PH/platoon role as he does with regular playing time. But, I still think he’s a better player, and is doing really well in AAA.

I concur with Todd Walsh
the people my age and younger were able to grow up with the Diamondbacks, and the fanbase grows stronger with that kind of time.

And my comment wasn’t to take anything away from people who are slightly older, it’s just different. The Diamondbacks started when I was in 6th grade, and for me and a few of my friends that’s pretty much all we know. I remember watching the Dodgers before that, but not that much.

he seemed like a good (not great, just good) acquisition. I remember thinking he could be a Craig Counsell-type utility player. What happened to all that potential?

A minor note
Luis Ayala of the Nationals, took the loss in tonight’s game against the Rockies. That gives him seven losses, tied for the most by a reliever in the majors with… Chad Qualls.

Seriously?
The Cardinals had a 4 run lead, Manny Ramirez coming up, and they called on a pitcher with a 5.63 ERA? Why was Isringhausen out there in the first place?

My question
was more that he started on Sunday. They must be running low in the bullpen.

PS. DBacks, please sign Webb to a new contract soon.
by SongBird on Aug 6, 2008 12:48 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Indeed
I heard Webb on the radio after the game and he wanted the fans to know that he does want to remain a Diamondback and said they were close to reaching an agreement earlier in the season but then differed on a couple of things and shelved it for now.
