PrintColorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks, Apr 21, 2009 9:40 PM EDT
|
|
After last night's markedly improved performance from the D-backs - scoring twice as many runs in one inning, as we did over the entire last series - we try to do something tonight we haven't managed all year to date. Win consecutive games. Yep, thus far we have had five consecutive "streaks" of one win, and if we're to break that this evening, we need to do something else we've been incapable of thus far - beat a left-handed starter. Morales has already defeated Arizona once this season, allowing one run in six solid innings on April 8. He was sent to the minors immediately afterwards, but the Rockies - understandably - have called him back up for another whack at us. Ironically, he pitched against our Triple-A affiliate in Reno during his stay in the minors, and we did win, though had to do so against the bullpen.
We send up Yusmeiro Petit to make his second start of the season - last time, he was somewhat unfortunate yo allow three runs in five innings. Petit was the victim of an inexplicable scoring decision when a ball went through Reynolds' legs, yet was not scored an error. His last start was skipped, but he came back on short rest after Jon Garland got slapped about, though didn't fair much better than the starter. The usual guidelines apply for Petit's start: try and avoid giving up too many homers. Or, at least, try and avoid giving up too many homers with men on base.
We will continue with the ongoing theme of threatening violence to adorable, small animals, in the name of encouraging the Diamondbacks' offense. No specific run number is involved in tonight's illustration - just a general threat. We appreciate your attention in this matter. And so do the kittens.
We finally caved and got a new SnakePitMobile today, the old one having arrived at the ballpark last night literally fountaining coolant out of the engine. Never a good sign... And with today the first 100-degree day [welcome to Arizona, 'charmer!], the odds of overheating only get worse... So Mrs. SnakePit has spent most of the morning filing paperwork at the dealer, and we should be heading to The Sets tonight in a shiny Kia. With it being IZW, I'll thus be Gameday Threaded rather than viewing on TV, so nice, descriptive play-by-plays will be welcome. Especially for any pop-ups. :-)
Brandon Webb threw a bullpen session before batting practice today, and according to manager Bob Melvin, looked good doing so. He threw pitches, fastballs and change-ups - the plan is to throw another bullpen on Friday, and see how Webb feels at that point. Montero gets his first back-to-back starts since early September, as a reward for his "nice game"last night. Drew gets another day off though, as yesterday, is available to pinch-hit. Melvin said our shortstop "probably could play" but they'll hold him back one more game - Drew said he expects to be in the lineup tomorrow.
And a quick thank-you to Steve Gilbert, who popped in to the SnakePit, in order to clarify his comments on the Dan Haren 'emotion' issue. That post has just fallen off the front-page, so figured it deserved a re-link.
Lineup
- Lopez 2B
- Ojeda SS
- Jackson 1B

Petit can give us 5 or 6 innings of 2 run ball or less tonight? I think he goes 5 innings tonight.

Side note
I’m loving his facial hair this year. Scruffy works for him.
Babe Ruth was a jerk but baseball's still a beautiful game - Dean Winchester
See I am disliking all the mountain men beards.
Though Drew had one in hte off season that was only okay with me because it looked SO ABSURD on him I found it amusing. He seriously looked like he was a 15 year old who glued on facial hair to so he could buy beer.
"Treat your mind like a bad neighborhood - don't go there alone."
His I like
Cause it doesn’t look so grown in. Or maybe just because it’s blond. Either way, working for me. It’s Dan Haren that’s go the marker cornered on mountain man beard. By the All Star break, it’s like "Dear god, Dan Haren. You know I love you but shave the neckbeard.
Babe Ruth was a jerk but baseball's still a beautiful game - Dean Winchester
Yea, I am little biased
I don’t like beards pretty much as a rule. They make me think of my dads family who all never learned proper beard grooming procedure. Yech.
"Treat your mind like a bad neighborhood - don't go there alone."
Usually, I'm not into facial hair
But I make an exception for Haren (and Reynolds now for some reason) because the hair on his head is so pretty.
Babe Ruth was a jerk but baseball's still a beautiful game - Dean Winchester
I like long dark hair
My mom was manning my camera at Fanfest and she specifically tried to get a picture of Haren running his hands through his hair for me.
Also a bonus for sitting behind the Dbacks dugout.

korecky, juan, pena, qualls
is a perfect world they would shut down the rockies
Did that just happen?
I am pretty sure that was a Three Stooges routine at some point
"Treat your mind like a bad neighborhood - don't go there alone."
That was an interesting play
Nice throw to first, too bad no one was there to catch it.
"He can't re-educate them in camps! He'd have to educate them first."
Hawpe used to be
considered a good defender, but he’s botched balls in both series this yr. He looks slow, awkward and purple

He's never been considered
a “good” defender, I don’t think. He’s got a great arm, like Upton or CY, but he doesn’t have Upton’s range.

CoJack lines one to left
Hawpe slides, can’t catch it, but manages to grab it right off the ground and rifles it to first. Too bad no one was covering first base, the ball bounced down behind home plate and CoJack advances to second. Weird play.
"He can't re-educate them in camps! He'd have to educate them first."
MUCH better

It's an error on Hawpe
But he actually made a pretty good play- he fired it in right behind CoJack, if Helton had been on first, it might have been out.

Come on, Bobby
Just because Petit did it last inning means you should do it, too.
That was an RBI with most anyone else on first.
"He can't re-educate them in camps! He'd have to educate them first."
And bases loaded
Come on, guys.

Whew
Double play is a good start, nice work by Lopez on that turn.

Dear BoMel
next inning just use someone from the crowd who brought a glove
kthxby

Slaten was not happy on that one
Threw his glove as he went into the dugout.

like to see that kind of emotion, but in a team environment, well, it just cant stand.
