Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
I have to go and get my hair cut, so this will be a quickie. The 2008 season, which held so much potential for the Diamondbacks less than a month ago, is now limping along on life-support. I am waiting for the merciful moment when even the most optimistic of players no longer needs to bother with platitudes about "grinding it out" and "just having to win our own games" - the way we've been playing, that could happen by the end of this week.
Tonight it's Hennessey vs. Davis in a match-up so thrilling, our concierge at work couldn't even give away tickets for tonight's contest at Chase. Hennessey must be wishing he could play Arizona every time: in his first major-league start since 2006 last week, he allowed one run over six innings, on just four hits. Davis extended his sequence of good-but-not-great outings as part of the same series against the Giants, and has now alternated between two and three runs with strict precision for his last six starts. Three earned runs it will be, then.
Should be about for most of this - once I've been sheared anyway, which will hopefully allow me to see the game with a whole new clarity, untroubled by fringe concerns. Let's hope the Diamondbacks do too, though after the 2-for-35 clutch abomination which was the Reds series, I am pretty sure things can't get much worse. Cue Hennessey's no-hitter...

You have enough hair for a hair cut? ;)
Kidding!
I need to get mine cut too…in case anyone needed to know…
Mine has now been delayed or possibly postponed
As the hairdresser just got her car rear-ended. No serious injuries, I’m pleased to report, but my locks may live for another day as a result.

You could just go to Super Cuts or something.. :) Or can Chris do it?

Once a man has a hairdresser
I suspect it’s too late for him to turn back to something like SuperCuts. =)

Some things are, I feel, best left to professionals
Super Cuts would be okay, but their refusal to allow bookings irritates the hell out of me. I don’t want to go there, only to have to wait 30 minutes because an entirely family arrived just ahead of me. Life’s too short. Unlike my hair, which is too long. :-)

Really?
The guy with the 4.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP is going to battle for the Cy Young next year? Scherzer looks like more of a threat for the Cy Young next year.
"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."
Tonight's lineup
- C. Young cf .245
- D. Eckstein 2b .176
- J. Upton rf .256
- A. Dunn lf .237
- M. Reynolds 3b .242
- J. Whitesell 1b .000
- C. Snyder c .240
- A. Ojeda ss .246
- D. Davis p .108
Drew still on bereavement leave, and Jackson’s arm issues keep him out of the lineup too. First start for Whitesell, I think. Again, Upton has the highest average of any starter, at .256…
A tad worried about CoJack's shoulder
Given my defeated attitude towards the season by this point, I sort of feel we should just let the guy rest and prepare for the off-season.
"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 do wonder a bit
Last year, Conor started 107 games. This year, he’s at 131. And I wonder if the left field starts have put more strain on the shoulder of his throwing arm than it would have seen at first base?
"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."
A brief glance of the Giants' lineup
shows only Vizquel and Hennessey have lower BAs…
by snakecharmer on Sep 15, 2008 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions
That seemed quick
Davis gives up two hits in the first, but they’re stranded and he only throws 14 pitches in the inning.
"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."
Two out double from J-Up
"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."
And wasted
"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."
Good evening
"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."
Augie, Augie, Augie...
Oy.
We missed an inning-ending double play there.
"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."
Upton
rips a bomb to center yesterday, a missile to straightaway right today. I wonder if Manny’s “spray it to all fields” clinic left an impression on him.
I’m calling 09 breakout for the kid. Right here, right now.
ok
I’m thinking .255 27/10…I dont see alot of singles in this kid’s future :- )
by Diamondhacks on Sep 15, 2008 10:09 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd consider
doubling 2008’s HR total, and increasing SBs tenfold to be something of a breakout.
by Diamondhacks on Sep 15, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions
Pretty equal
would be .256 20/2, by my math. I’m calling for seven more homers and 8 addtl steals on top of his 108 OPS+ level. Does anyone else have him at 27 homers. If so, by all means speak up.
by Diamondhacks on Sep 15, 2008 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions
I think he meant your avg
At least, that’s what I wonder. .255?? He can do better than that.
by snakecharmer on Sep 15, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah
I could be a little low on that. But he strikes out a third of the time, so I dont see that BA magically increasing much anytime soon.
I do anticipate it being a “heavy” .255 though. Lots of extra base hits.

Wouldn't it be nice
If he made up for it at the plate this inning?
"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."
Perhaps
someone should remind Chris Young that his only value right now is his defense. If he starts messing up there, he’s gonna end up on the bench.

For this week.
And then I get some girl I’ve never met before.
It’s a really long, drawn out drama (okay, not really. but it seems like it.) but really, I’m glad she’s gone. I have enough stress without her bull.

That sucks
Sometimes, roommates just don’t work out, even if they’re someone you know. I’ve known plenty of friendships screwed up by becoming roommates.
"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 had one friend as a roommate that turned out well
But that was Brian, and the guy is cooler and more laid back than anyone three people combined have the right to be.
"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 lived with my best friend for 3 months
And stopped for other reasons than hating each other, but in general all my friends from high school who lived together “cause it will be awesome” ended up with their hands around each others throats.
What a crazy random happenstance!
Was she a friend of yours before you became roommates?

We’ve been friends since 7th grade, and lived together for part of the last 4 summers, so we thought it would be great.

I roomed the 1st year with my twin sister
You’d think after sharing a room with her for 17 plus years we’d be ready for a change, but it was fun. We put posters up all over the walls and shared a stereo and records (remember those?) and a car, so it made sense to share a dorm room. Fun times.
Getting along
Wishing I’d bought the cable at Wal-mart today, so I could plug my MP3 player into my stereo. And going through a course catalog at the moment. But other than that, okay.
"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."

At least
he didn’t give up a home run to Corey Patterson. That’d be really embarrassing.

Actually.......
Corey Patterson was supposed to be a 30-30 threat, whereas Juan Pierre is like a 2-40 threat….. so I blame Rauch less than that Pittsburgh guy.

“Do you have this ‘bloated’ feeling?”
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

That ad makes me slightly nauseous every time I hear it
I wish my brain didn’t automatically envision things.
"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 wish they weren't
telling people that laxatives are a safe way to lose weight.

Almost as safe
as stimulants? Those Ritalin-like “diet pills”?

My mom used that phrase the other day
I had to use brain bleach. My mom does not know what drugs are.
What a crazy random happenstance!
Brain bleach
is now my new favorite phrase

Apparently
Even the people who think the whole colon flushing thing does help don’t buy into EverCleanse. Which kind of makes me laugh.
And then feel nauseous again.
"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."
Okay,
they should really pull that AAA insurance ad where the house gets destroyed by a storm — in light of recent events, it’s not very amusing.

Granted, we won
But in two games against the Diamondbacks, Hennesey’s ERA has dropped from 12.46 to 8.04.

Well, c'mon....
….he’s a really good pitcher, right?
