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. :-)

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.

Tonight's lineup
  1. C. Young cf .245
  2. D. Eckstein 2b .176
  3. J. Upton rf .256
  4. A. Dunn lf .237
  5. M. Reynolds 3b .242
  6. J. Whitesell 1b .000
  7. C. Snyder c .240
  8. A. Ojeda ss .246
  9. 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.

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?

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   0 recs

That seemed quick

Davis gives up two hits in the first, but they’re stranded and he only throws 14 pitches in the inning.

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.

by AF DBacks Fanatic on Sep 15, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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   0 recs

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   0 recs

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.

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.

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.

Spackle time!

“Do you have this ‘bloated’ feeling?”

Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

Have you lost

that bloated feelin’?

We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.

That ad makes me slightly nauseous every time I hear it

I wish my brain didn’t automatically envision things.

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

Glad to be of service

I have used it since high school. ;)

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.

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.

Win-win I guess

Victory drinking, or drowning sorrows. ;)
