Baseball-Reference.com Preview [Opens in new window]

Another afternoon game?  What is this?

After the vast disappointment that was yesterday's game, it's a little difficult to get too charged up over today's outing, particularly looking at the numbers Lohse is putting up on the mound.  However, he is in a slump of sorts.  He's putting together good numbers, but the Cardinals have won only once in his last eight starts.  In that span, he's gone eight innings twice and gotten NDs for his effort.  So it'd be great if we can continue that.

For our number, Doug Davis will take the mound.  After some rough starts at the beginning of August, Doug has looked better his past few go-rounds, giving us our only win in the Dodgers series, though that should properly be attributed to the offense.

Looking at the lineup, I note that Justin Upton is on the bench again- still no word of any diagnosis, but I'd guess the headaches are still bugging him.

Just about ten minutes before first pitch here, so I'll post this quick.  Let's go, D-backs!

Our lineup

S. Drew ss .287
D. Eckstein 2b .375
C. Jackson lf .293
A. Dunn rf .240
M. Reynolds 3b .242
C. Tracy 1b .261
C. Young cf .246
C. Snyder c .241
D. Davis p .091

The key to the game, according to the radio team, is “offensive consistency.” Well, duh.

I’m sick as a dog and at home watching the game. That throw was right into the runner on a charging play from third. A bad angle for that throw. I can’t hang that E on Trace. His mitt was run into by the batter.

by foulpole on Sep 3, 2008 5:27 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I saw the play

The throw may not have been good enough to record the out, but a throw is never “into” the runner, unless the 1Ber misplays the ball. His first job is to keep the runner out of scoring position, and similar to Drew’s “error” in the LA series, Tracy failed to do his job.

Hope you feel better
