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.

This just seems like one of those games.

The ones where we can’t see how we would lose…until we do.

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'll be around some.

Watching the Ryder Cup more than this, though.

but they’re ahead 16-7 so it’s not urgent.

How’s our team doing?

Welp.

Still 9-7. Anthony Kim’s got Sergio Garcia dormie 5, so that should be a point. Everything else is about evenly split right now. Should come down to the wire.

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.

Easy hits and some lackadaisical efforts by the Rockies allow Drew to score.

Today's lineup

Oops. Hit preview button rather than post, then went off to have breakfast.

  1. S. Drew ss .285
  2. C. Young cf .245
  3. C. Jackson lf .293
  4. A. Dunn rf .236
  5. C. Tracy 1b .265
  6. M. Reynolds 3b .240
  7. C. Snyder c .243
  8. A. Ojeda 2b .247
  9. 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.

by Azreous on Sep 21, 2008 3:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Kinda like Webby,

he seems to step up a bit when it’s an RBI situation.

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…

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.

Yep.

First starter at least 1956 to allow 6+ earned runs and last two innings or less in three consecutive starts.

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?

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   0 recs

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.

by Azreous on Sep 21, 2008 4:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.

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.

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.
