Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Just a quickie, having sprawled longer in bed this morning than intended, catching up on Tivo'd stuff. Looking at this pitching match-up, we should have no problem getting the win and the series victory this afternoon, given the Reynolds hasn't pitched into the third inning either of his last two starts, allowing fourteen earned runs in just 3.1 frames. Crucial word there: "should." I don't have a great deal of confidence on our ability to hit anyone, probably connected with us averaging barely three runs per game in the past month.
Haren had the best game of his career in his previous appearance, throwing his first ever complete-game shutout against the Giants, striking out twelve batters. That was a sharp return to form after back-to-back wobbly outings, so we'll see if he has properly righted the ship. Should be about for most of this one, though I think we have to get past some crescent rolls, coffee and the Sunday papers first.

In other news,
I’m watching the Cardinals-Redskins game, and my Skins are getting screwed over by the refs.

Who's going to be around for this one?
Almost game time and nobody’s posted line-ups. How will we ever know how many LHBs we have???
I'm flipping to the Raiders game
but they’re ahead 16-7 so it’s not urgent.
How’s our team doing?

Slept way later than I thought I would, which isn’t going to do my fantasy football lineup any good. But I’ll be around and about.

Leadoff double for Drew

Not quite sure
why Dunn went to 3rd, but again, not really upset.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Yes,
but despite Sutton’s claims to the contrary, I’m not sure why he would have known that before taking off.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
He may have been planning to fake it

Hey, whatever works.

Dunn scores.
RBI for Reynolds.

Snydes double.
This is a good first inning.

Definitely
Be nice if we could clear the pitcher’s spot. =)

Really
The Rockies are lucky he only got the single.
"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."
Snyder
still shoulda been out, though.
Maybe that’s why Iannetta hasn’t started all year.

Naw
They’re all singles and doubles. This is just the Diamondbacks remembering why the have to go stand at that white thing with a stick every 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."
Today's lineup
Oops. Hit preview button rather than post, then went off to have breakfast.
- S. Drew ss .285
- C. Young cf .245
- C. Jackson lf .293
- A. Dunn rf .236
- C. Tracy 1b .265
- M. Reynolds 3b .240
- C. Snyder c .243
- A. Ojeda 2b .247
- D. Haren p .188
Not much to say about it: looks like a fairly solid line-up, though interesting to note the absence of Upton, despite his recent good. Jackson back after a day off yesterday.
I’ll take that first inning. :-)
I know there's a significant downturn from Ojeda to Haren, but...
You’d think managers would be hesitant to get to Haren in the lineup. He’s no Owings/Zambrano, but he sure is capable up there.
Kinda like Webby,
he seems to step up a bit when it’s an RBI situation.

In semi-related, horrible news, Zack Snyder thinks a sequel to Watchmen would be a great idea.

Exactly
I’ve no doubt that Snyder can make a visually cool movie based on a visually cool comic- 300 proved that. But storyline?
Maybe Snyder wants to make this as a sequel…
"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."
Rather pleased
To see that on my return from crescent rolls and coffee. I thought I’d screwed up the start time, and it had really been on for two hours or something. Nope: still the first. Reynolds clearly is as sucky a pitcher as his last two starts implied.
CY!
And the beatings continue, as morale improves.

Matt Herges in
When your ERA is around 7.40 this late in the season, it takes a pretty bad performance to raise it, but he managed it today…
"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."
Better start
Than his last couple – only six earned runs today.
Admittedly that’s now 19 in 4.2 innings of work. I’m reaching for the record books.
by Jim McLennan on Sep 21, 2008 3:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Yep.
First starter at least 1956 to allow 6+ earned runs and last two innings or less in three consecutive starts.
Well done! You must get up very early…

Wow
That’s pretty depressing. Not what Rockies fans need at the end of the 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."
So.....
think they should have taken Timcecum or Scherzer with that pick?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Oops. Make that 20 in 4.2 innings
For an ERA, including a scoreless inning of relief, of 33.75 since July 4. And his season ERA is now 8.13, yep.

Alright,

Dunn seems to be showing some hustle on the basepaths today
Take that, Cincinnati media…
"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."
But he's fat and lazy
and doesn’t even like baseball that much….
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
I didn't notice so much in the first
But it looks like the umpire is giving a pretty wide strike zone today.
"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."
Not wide enough to save Reynolds
Probably a good thing, or we’d still be batting in the top of the first.
by Jim McLennan on Sep 21, 2008 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions
Wouldn't have helped much
They were pretty much making contact with anything he threw near the plate.
"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."
Whaaaaat?
We only sent six to the plate that inning? DFA the lot of ‘em. This offense is crap. I’m slashing the seats.
Another good inning from Haren
And now I’m off to find something for lunch.

Considering how good our starters are
and the fact our team OPS in the first couple innings this season is higher than our oppenent’s OPS, it’s weird to me how infrequently we seem to jump on people early, like today.
How many big early leads have we had like this?
Reynolds could jump on me early any time
or late,whatever.

Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Really?
Could just be my psychology at play, but it seems we’re in early holes more often that the other way around. Our blowout record is essentially even, but I’m guessing most of our blowouts have been established in the middle / late innings.
Just a guess on my part.
by Diamondhacks on Sep 21, 2008 4:14 PM EDT up reply actions
May just be the first inning exclusively.
Here’s our BA (and runs scored) by inning:
1st: .285 (97)
2nd: .230 (68)
3rd: .202 (49)
That first inning batting average is the highest of any inning. And none of that includes today’s numbers, so the split will just increase.
Conversely
We give up runs pretty evenly across innings. 80, 65, 86, 68, 60, 81, 69, 75, 74.
I still get the feeling your hunch has some merit to it, but I lack the tools to check on that sort of thing.
Thanks for the data
…that third inning’s been a killer, which is really interesting considering Melvin’s 7,8 & 9 hitters are notoriously strong relative to 7,8,9s across the league.
by Diamondhacks on Sep 21, 2008 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Well,
what I meant was more that when we started off the season so well, and even after we started scuffling a bit, we were getting A LOT of early leads, which I think was helping us both offensively and pitchingwise.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Gotcha
I think you’re right and April had faded from my memory. We were jumping on people early, big time, back then.

Assuming we’re out of contention. Sit Reynolds a few days.
Dunno if I agree with that stance or if it would happen, but it’s something to consider.
Why?
Who cares if he breaks the record or not? If you think his offense is better at 3rd than Augie’s, then you play him. Simple as that.
If he breaks the record, he breaks the record.

On the plus side...
He needs six RBIs to get 100. Not historic or anything, but still a nice plateau.
Dunn just three shy now.
I really want him to get there.

bit of a low strike 3 to Dunn, I thought.

Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Candiott can't pronounce the word pictures
He says it like pitchers (when talking about wanting to see some pictures of Saul’s prom).
Saulo
seems like an unusually mature, selfless high schooler. It’s no wonder Todd’s so fond of him. And in a laugher of game, I have no problem with it, especially if Walsh’s feelings are driving the segment, rather than an FO intiative to exploit the kid’s situation to drive pity, ratings, etc.
I like that he was having fun in the segment. A baseball game is supposed to be an entertainment, and him asking out the girl is at least consistent with that. Droning on about his terrible affliction, is not, imo.

Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Wow....

Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
This question is surprising.
Surprising in how accurate it is, considering you haven’t gotten to meet me yet.
Yeah, I’m not really the giggling type. But three hits for Haren is pretty funny.
Yeah, it is,

Welcome to the Snakepit!
"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."
Thanks..!!!
i’ll try to comment a lot.. This and the website of foxsports is the only way to know what happens with the D’backs, is veeeeeeeery weird thata D’backs game is aired on tv. Only when they facing Santana, Zambrano or another pitcher from Venezuela
What about
when Yusmeiro Petit is pitching and Miguel Montero is catching?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Nop..
There aren’t that famous, their rookies playing for a unknown team :S
True.
Only the players on big city teams?
That sounds pretty much the same as it is here.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Too true
Like how we hear more about the last game in Yankees stadium, as opposed to, say, the Rays clinching a playoff spot.
"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."
Teh Rays?
Do they play in New York too?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
They're in Florida
I think they just play Spring Training games all 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."
50/50
The channels here follow pretty much the big city teams, but the most important thing is a BIG Star from Venezuela or a player who’s going to reach a milestone or somethig like that
Speaking of which,
Petit comes on to pitch the 8th.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!

Dave Burns is discussing who'l be back next year
He thinks Randy’ll be back.
As for who he suspects won’t be returning: Dunn, Eckstein, Tracy, and one of the bullpen pitchers who i’ve blanked on- maybe it was Cruz?
"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."
Yeah, it was Cruz
He wouldn’t be surprised if Clark retires, and said he thinks Lyon is 50-50 to be back.

Going to the eleventh...
"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."
Woooh!
"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 Randy Winn Ks to keep the Giants from scoring anymore runs. Jerk.
"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."
Still evil.

Mandy strikes out to start the bottom of the eleventh

I haven't watched a Dodgers game in a while
Do they still applaud him when he does that?
"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 Loney lines out
"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."
Excellent
The Giants did more for us than we had any right to ask them this series.
"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."
Especially after the last one. =)
"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."
lay down for the D-backs kick the Dodgers in the teeth. That’s the plan, I guess.
Travis Denker can hit a little. That's why I drive his bus.
Thank you for your co-operation
In this matter. :-)

It must feel weird to be depending on a solid performance from the GIants bullpen, and then actually get it.
BTW, if the snakes make the playoffs, send a thank you card to Sergio Romo.

It is a little strange
What will be weirder is hoping for a solid performance from the Padres offense.
I really have no hope of seeing that happen.
"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."
Nope
Dodgers have San Diego coming to play for three, and then close out the season in San Francisco.
Pirates are playing San Diego for the last series of the season.

LA faces Peavy first up on Tuesday. Peavy had to miss his Friday start as his wife had their 3rd child. After a poor season, he is just looking to finish above .500 with his 2 remaining starts. So I will be rooting for Mr. Peavy to show his reigning Cy Young stuff and stick it to the Dodgers on Tuesday.
I gotta admit,
I hate the Padres, but I can’t really hate the Monster of Mobile. Kid’s a friggin competitor.

Now
when I go away for dinner, THAT’S what I want to see when I come back.
