Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Well, see Friday's Gameday Thread for my thoughts on Cueto, whose start against us was pushed back to today. He basically shut us down in his debut, but the rest of the league has handled him with a good deal less trouble. Let's hope that our scouting reports are now a little more exhaustive, and we can deal with him accordingly. Meanwhile, Scherzer finds himself facing another young phenom, after Kershaw last time out, and is still looking for his first victory in the major-leagues. He pitched well enough last Sunday, striking out eleven in five innings last time on the mound, but ended up getting a no-decision.
I should be almost entirely about for this one, or at least a great deal more than I have been the previous couple of days. I have a couple of review to write [do not see Bloodrayne 2 - and I speak as someone who didn't mind the original as much as most people] and will also be continuing the ongoing process of clearing out the closet. To our shock, there was a Yankees jersey in there, I suspect a souvenir from a trip to New York, prior to the establishment of the Diamondbacks. I quite like the idea of popping it on the barbecue and ceremonially incinerating it. Either that, or mailing it to Switzerland for use in the LHC.

Meh
Is anyone going to be around? Is anyone going to watch? Blah…. it’s really hard to get excited about this team now…
Now they play for improvement. Not team improvement, but individual improvement. It’s about getting good ABs even if you don’t get on base, about fielding better, about pitching where you want to even if it’s hit.
Today in particular, it’s about getting Scherzer a win and not letting Cueto handle us the way he did before.
Didn't notice, actually
but I just saw on MLB.com that Drew will be out for two days for his grandmother’s funeral. :(

Scratch that
Found it here…
Tidbits
Conor Jackson, out with a sore right rotator cuff, received a shot for his elbow on Friday and likely will not be back until Monday night’s game against the Giants at Chase Field.

You're welcome! :)
I imagine all those throws from the outfield all season are a new feeling for his shoulder.

Bit more info
Manager Bob Melvin couldn’t provide any specifics about the injury, as he was awaiting results from an MRI exam that Jackson had Friday. “He started feeling it toward the end of the last game in San Francisco and woke up with some significant soreness (Thursday),” Melvin said. “He was still feeling it this morning, and yesterday was pretty significant for him. I think it surprised him the way he woke up. He even came in for some treatment (Thursday).”

Today's lineup
- D. Eckstein 2b .172
- J. Upton rf .247
- C. Young cf .246
- A. Dunn lf .239
- M. Reynolds 3b .243
- T. Clark 1b .226
- C. Snyder c .243
- A. Ojeda ss .241
- M. Scherzer p .000
No Drew, no Tracy and as noted, no Jackson.
I know the circumstances, but...
Justin Upton has the highest batting average.
At .247.
God help us.
He's batting .295
since coming off the DL, according to Grace.

Good frst inning for Scherzer
Strikes out the side around a walk. That change-up looks like it could be very, very nasty if, as hoped, he becomes a starter.
This is not the same Cueto
We saw in Cincinnati. Back-to-back walks? TV says he didn’t walk that many in his first two starts, covering 16 innings and 22 K’s. I wonder what happened?
The Cueto
we saw in Cincinnati had an ERA of 1.50 — this one has an ERA of 4.77.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
'Frell
Another double-play for Dunn, and – what a surprise – it’s a zero for us. 2-for-24 with RISP this series now.
UGHHH!
A DP is NOT what Dunn is supposed to deliver. A K would’ve been better!
He’s been pressing all series…
Max is really fast
and I don’t just mean his fastball. His delivery is speedy! He throws the pitch, gets centered, walks backwards up the hill, sets, and throws again. So opposite DD!
Another leadoff hit
We’ll see what this brings, but based on the past couple of days, I am not overly optimistic….
Boy.
If Scherzer brings just an above average changeup to the table as a starter, and has some measure of control, that might be enough with how good his fastball is. Certainly enough to keep him around in the bigs while he works on refining his third pitch.
I watch them about half-way
while watching something else on the laptop. That way I don’t feel like my time is totally wasted. Last night I watched 3 episodes of Monk while listening to the radio play by play.
I like this idea,
and I support it.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!

I’ve been listening to the broadcasts, while reading a lot lately.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."

I just figured out Reynolds' problems in the field
they jsut showed him spitting out sunflowers on the ground in front of him. When you lead the world in errors, do you really want to be putting bad-hop inducing seed shells in front of you?
BTW I am kidding. . . .kinda
Here's comes
Joe Sr….
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Oh crap
I see. Look, I’m doing like three things at once.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Unfortunately
None of those things is “typing well”?
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Don't you
have a new DnD ruleset to complain about?
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Well played
Actually, my new complaint is that none of the bookstores in town seem to be carrying to Pathfinder RPG. I could order it or buy it online, but I sorta wanted to actually look at a physical copy before I spent the money on it.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
If
Barnes and Noble can order it (ie, if it’s in the system and not a prepaid only item) then you can order it and look at it without buying it.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
I'll have to see
I just feel like a jackass ordering something and then not buying it.
But, then again, I am a jackass often enough, so it shouldn’t really faze me anymore.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Look at it this way
it’s apart of the business. We want people to order things because if you do want it after looking at it, you’ll probably buy it. And, the vast majority of books are returnable so it’s not like there’s much loss for the store.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
That was a joke
I’m assuming they only spit the seeds out at the back of the infield
and just case you weren’t kidding – no, nobody should ingest or inhale tobacco. It’s just nasty, nasty stuff and hard to quit once you get started. I quit 20 years ago and am thankful every day that I did.
I smoked a couple
cigarettes once when I worked at IHOP while on break. Boy, was that a mistake.

Hey!
With a good enough performance today, we could take over first place in the NL in worst batting average!
…Oh.
On another interesting note, we’re fourth worst in the NL in stolen bases.
It really is
a mirror image of last year.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Argh.
Jupton with ANOTHER loud out.
Seems like we’ve had A LOT of those lately. Anybody know our BABIP over the last couple weeks?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
CY!
Standup 2 out double. RBI opportunity for Donkey Kong.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Or a walk.
C’mon, Mark! At least DON’T STRIKE OUT!!
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Wow....
for all the strife we’ve given CY this year, he’s 5th in the NL in doubles. I’d still prefer the home runs, but I’ll take XBHs of any kind.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
All things considered...
If he had double the steals and 20-30 more points in the BA (and subsequently his OBP), I think we’d be pretty darn happy with his numbers this year.
All things considered,
if he had 200 more points in his OPS, I think we’d be pretty darn happy with his numbers, too.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Considering his defense
CY has had an OK year. I’d just like to see improvement rather than plateau. To my eye, he just looks really unsure and indecisive at the plate this year.
Cardinals 14 - Dolphins 0

True.
Even these are two games they were expected to win, it’s not like the Cardinals have ever done anything expected of them. Except suck.
But
they’re the oldest franchise in the NFL! They’re like the Cincinnati Reds of pro football.

To his credit,
he looked pretty pissed and frustrated at that one.

He is like Byrnes. I would not like to be in the dug out during his bad games. Hulk Angry.

they need to be getting a little bit pissed at themselves (imo, dont know if it helps or hurts, but it shows some emotion other than dejection)

Because at least when you're striking out,
you have an excuse for not getting a hit.
When you’re making contact every AB and just feebly popping up, it’s even MORE annoying and frustrating, especially when even a flyout would score a runner from 3rd.
IMO, of course. Which is gospel.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Move along, Jim.
Nothing to see here.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Three innings.
Seven baserunners.
Zero runs.
You remember back when it seemed whenever we hit a homer, all we got were solo shots?
I think I’d go back to those days in a heartbeat.
Argh.
Leadoff home run.
Screw this team.

Your Pitch Count Update, brought to you by Foulpole, Inc.:
Cueto 71
Scherzer 63.
Ah, to be young again.
Huy ovo, Dbacks.
At least the kid threw the HR ball back.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
By the way,
Max Scherzer’s delivery gives me whiplash just looking at it.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Huh.
Chris Young: .280 since the all-star break.
Seems like a quiet improvement. Of course, he hit .228 in the first half…
Minor victories!
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
This could be
why BoMel has him batting 3rd lately?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Did you hear Sutton?
Corey Patterson sports a 237 OBP? Ugh
OTOH,
my OPS+ is 0, so he’s doing better than me.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
He's one of "Dusty's Guys".
That’s why he was brought over from the Cubs. Totally sucks, but at least he tries hard.
Hmmm…. maybe Dusty would trade for Eric Byrnes??
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
I already made that pitch
Back when we found out the reason that Dunn was despised by the Cincinnati media for a lack of hustle, I knew that Byrnes would be a perfect fit for the Reds.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."

Dodgers and Rockies
Still scoreless in the tenth. Wonder what the last 1-0, extra-inning game at Coors was?
Not extra innings but
COlorado beat SF on June 11th 1-0 at Coors with 1 in the bottom of the 9th
Never happened
The lowest scoring extra-inning games there are 2-1, which has happened twice. Both times the opponent was Arizona, most notably the 18-inning 2-1 win we had on August 15, 2006.

It never bothered the husband either. He only uses it for strategic “makes me feel old” puposes.

Same thing
with my parents. (She’s 3 yrs older than he is)
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
And done.
1-0, Rox. :-)
But it was Tool-o with the winning RBI. Eh, you win some, you lose some.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
And the game continues to grind
Over ninety minutes in, and there’s only one out in the bottom of the fourth, despite a 1-0 score.
Now THAT was kinda funny.
The catcher stood up like he wanted to pick off Tony Clark.
Sure, knock yourself out, but it’s tough to do when he’s got a 2-inch lead off 2nd….

Doesn't need to last forever.
Just a few more games.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Man
Upton was this close to a home run.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Crap....
CY pops out to short…. running catch kept it from being a blooper.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
IBB to Donkey Kong.
I really hope Reynolds takes this personally…. and doesn’t strikeout.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Oh Grace
Gracie has a crush. And at least this time he is on OUR team.
What a crazy random happenstance!
Yup.
Adam Dunn…. Jonathan Broxton…. Grace is a chubbychaser.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
You don't really have to chase them.
A hot-dog on a stick will work just as well, and you can simply reel them in…

I am calling Off Sides ;)
What if Dunn reads this?
He is going to cry himself to sleep tonight on his huge pillow!
What a crazy random happenstance!
Big slow bastard....
walking to the outfield, clogging up the bases, striking out, UGH. Worthless.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
This comment looks even funnier,
given my signature.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
It's irrelevant.
Our only hope is to hit a HR.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Or
just get sucked down by the riptide that is our team….
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Snydes has a chance
with the bases loaded and 2 outs.
Hopefully he gets a hit.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Argh....
shoulda swung at THAT one.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Bases loaded
Now, we can score on a wild pitch, hit batter or walk.
Frankly, those are our best hopes.
2-for-33
And the boo-birds are out, justifiably so.
Did anyone else catch the very loud F-bomb Snyder dropped after striking out in his previous at-bat?
He always does that.
Everytime, and it’s usually picked up by the microphones.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
12 LOB through 7 innings.
Remember, that doesn’t even include the GIDPs.

We just need time, you know?
It isn’t HIM exactly, its US. We need time to grow. Away from him.
What a crazy random happenstance!
What if
he shows up at our door with flowers?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
I'm his Facebook friend,
I could nudge him a little??
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Insult to injury.
Castillo just swung at a ball that hit him in the foot, striking out.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
I want
the AFLAC duck for my birthday.
As a pet. Not for dinner.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
What if he was
roasted and served with a nice raspberry reduction?
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Not saying I WOULDN'T eat him.
I love duck. But I’d prefer having him as a pet.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
However,
come to think of it, I’ll bet Wes could whip that up for us.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
He
should get on it.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Your mom
should get on it.
Seriously. I’ll be she’s a great cook.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
She is
but are you calling me a fattie?
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Not at all.
It just sounded vaguely suggestive.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
I still don't know
what he looks like.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Heck....
he can homer whenever he wants, as far as I’m concerned.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Upton
with a single off the glove.
CY needs to not suck now.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Which means
CY will have a home run caught by the RF, or something.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Oh, and hey!
With Upton’s 3-for-4 day, someone who made an appearance in today’s game has a BA over .250.
Sure, it’s .253, but look at the alternatives:
.152
.246
.238
.243
.230
.235
.241
.248
.000
.188
.222
Like I said,
coming into today, .295 since the DL.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Dusty pulls his reliever
to bring in a lefty and face Dunn.
Nice patient PA by CY to work a walk.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Awesome.
It’s all on Dunn’s massive shoulders now.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Bases loaded for Dunn
And another pitching change. Just for the record, the franchise record for players left on base in a nine-inning game is 16, done twice – most recently on April 30th last year. We have 12 so far, not including the three on there at the moment.
However, the record for LOB when we score one run is only 13, back on April 20, 2003.
No team has stranded more while scoring one run
Since the Houston Astros in 1987 – boxscore

The last two times Dunn came up with the bases juiced,
BB and HBP.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Bases loaded strikeout.
Boos descend.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
But seriously,

Young singled Ojeda home on Friday
And I believe Drew singled Upton from second to third last night.

That could be

When Chad Qualls brings hope,
you KNOW your team’s f%&*ed.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Well.....
THAT was certainly a throwaway 0-2 pitch.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
As with ALL our pitchers today,
and indeed this entire series, Qualls does the job.

With this Cincy reliever's creepy smile,
he kinda looks like a chomo.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
He just
molested our hitters down 1-2-3.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Pretty wide K zone
alluva sudden.
Pretty dead GDT, too. Where did everyone else go?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Nope.
The chomo pitches a 1-2-3 inning.
Rauch coming in. Melvin doesn’t care anymore.
Why not leave Qualls out for another inning??
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Mmmm.
Cheese. /random
What?? There’s nothing else going on!!
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
The Cardinals
have not failed Arizona this weekend!
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
The *first-place* Arizona Cardinals
That is not something I’ve said in a very long time, as Grace pointed out.

every team from Arizona that played this weekend has lost…except for the Cardinals.

Wait --
did ASU end up losing to UNLV??
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Yep?
Blocked field goal in overtime.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Errr...... excuse me,
::leaves room….. heard laughing hysterically in the hallway::
Sorry. Back now.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Oh I'm sorry
I forget the part where both Georgetown and UofA suck. Laugh it up, chuckles.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I forget the part where both Georgetown and UofA ALWAYS suck — and yet ASU, supposedly a Pac-10 or even BCS title contender, has the same record as UofA.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
I think
it’s pretty obvious to see that ASU is overrated, but you don’t have much room to talk about bad teams. Of course, like most Wildrat fans, it’s easier to be obsessed with ASU than support your own team.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Kinda like
the way Scum Devils fans are always obsessed with ’Cats basketball??
And I’m not obsessed with UA football. In fact, I’m pumped that we’re 2-1.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Errr,
not obsessed with UA ASU football.

Donk
off the foul pole.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Jeez.
We could have lost those games WITHOUT giving up EBone.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
And, Jon Rauch
just gave up the game-winning homerun to Corey Patterson off the foulpole.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
He'd probably say
it was a “Solid line drive”.
If that HR had hit foulpole rather than THE foulpole, I’d be less upset, even though the Dbacks lost.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Joh Rauch
You just gave up a game-winning (probably) home run to Corey Freakin’ Patterson. How do you feel?
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
I'm gonna skip all of them

ouch freakin corey patterson....
i feel your pain dback fans….whens golf tee times….think we both might get some golf sessions in together?
this team is utter rubbish...
Let's see if we can leave the 1987 Astros in the dust!
With a little hard work, maybe we can jump all the way back to the 19th century.

keeps the rally going with a single — Eckstein to 3rd!!

Two baserunners
Tying run at third, with two outs for Chris Young.

Corey Patterson.
Lowest BA for a fulltime player since 1975.
Hits the game-winning home run.
I really feel bad for Rauch…. he looks like the loneliest man in the world right now in the dugout.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
It sucks
he gave up that homerun, but if the Diamondbacks want to be mad at anyone today, they need to look squarely at the terrible hitting with runners on base.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Yeah, I was just gonna comment on that.
When two solo homers beats you, and you strand 17 men on base, Jon Rauch is the LEAST of your worries.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Of course,
we DO also have Bob Melvin to thank for bringing in a guy who had been scored upon in 9 of his last 13 outings in the 10th inning of a tied ballgame. I hope it helped Rauch’s confidence, at least.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
We gotta make sure
he’s good a screwed up for next year. Jon, what the heck happened to you, man?
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
Especially since
he’s still under contract….
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
When you have a reliever
Who apparently cannot appear without giving up a run, then that certainly counts as well up the list of worries. Especially when your manager keeps using him in high-leverage situations.
by Jim McLennan on Sep 14, 2008 7:46 PM EDT up reply actions
Again,
I’d be MUCH more worried about our inability to score more than 1 run off a guy who came in with a 4.77 ERA.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Tonight's loss was
refreshingly simple. After Rube Goldberg contraption we saw last night, stranding 17 runners was a straightforward yet respectable accomplishment.
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
That's now 30 baserunners stranded in two games.
Is THAT a record, Jim??
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Quick! Trivia game!
Team A: 10 IP, 10 H, 10 BB, 7 K
Team B: 10 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 13 K
Which team won this game?
Careful about coming in here and popping off
after what might be THE single most frustrating loss of the year.
I have a feeling that I can feel Jim’s mouse finger hovering over the “Ban” button as we speak.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Somehow,
I don’t think anybody here will appreciate your false sympathy.

0-7 averaging less than 2 runs a game

You wouldn't have encountered hostility

Holy shit!

Well, our season has TRULY come full circle.
September is shaping up to be the anti-April.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Just to recap, our starters in this series:
20 IP, 12 H, 2 ER, 7 BB, 14 K
And we won one game. Barely.
Also just to recap:
This team is terrible.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Well.
On the plus side, the Broncos won, even though they probably shouldn’t have.
Still, Cutler was fantastic. And Brandon Marshall — 18 catches?!?!
AHAH!
So you’re actually Silverblood in disguise!!

Do you
want to have his babies?

It was a great 1st half for the Broncos, and then not so much in the second. They were very lucky to win. But we’ll take it.

And the Broncos are not a package deal with the Rockies; so I don’t have to (and I don’t) like the Rockies just cuz I like the Broncos.
See: the Arizona Cardinals/Arizona Diamondbacks. Easy to separate emotions for each team.
It's like living with a six-year old.
Too true
Cardinals fans are few and far between.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
not really
I’ve always contended that this is a football state more than a baseball one. I think with the Cards starting off 2-0 for what? the 2nd or 3rd time since they’ve been here, we’ll see that bandwagon rev up into over drive.
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
by unnamedDBacksfan on Sep 14, 2008 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions
It definitely
more a football state, but I’ve never found many Cards fans. Of course, that might be simply because I’m not one so I never have the need to talk to anyone about them, and most people in Yuma, where I grew up, were fans of the Chargers or Raiders.
