PrintSan Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks, May 26, 2009 9:40 PM EDT
|
|
We've seen the in-game resilience of this team a number of times in the past couple of weeks, but we require a different kind of fortitude tonight . We need the ability to bounce back from one of the worst implosions in franchise history, blowing a six-run lead in the space of just three outs, from one out in the eighth, to one out into the ninth. It was one of those days where just about everything that could go wrong, did - but that doesn't make the loss any more palatable.
To make things more... interesting, shall we say, Max Scherzer goes for Arizona - so you know that means we will be relying on the bullpen for three innings this evening. After last night, I think it's safe to say that Diamondbacks fans will be walking on pins and needles, regardless of the score. And probably ready to storm the field if anyone taller than, say, 6'8" is seen coming out of the bullpen. Yes, we know it wasn't entirely his fault last night - blame could also be applied to a number of other people. However, when you are almost seven foot tall and heavily tattooed, you can't really expect to slide under the radar. Maybe if he grew some endearing facial hair, people would like him more.
Otherwise, repeat last night's comments regarding the pitching match-up. Correia has yet to win a game away from Petco, so doesn't appear to be all that, and we definitely appear to have the edge in this pitching match-up. It's definitely a game we need to win, as I don't look at tomorrow's contest [Peavy vs. Buckner] with a great deal of confidence, Buckner's excellent performance in Oakland acknowledged. But no matter the score, I don't think anyone in Arizona will be taking victory for granted until the final Padres out is acknowledged.
Lineup
- Parra LF
- Ojeda 2B
- Upton RF
- Drew SS
- Reynolds 1B
- Montero C
- Young CF
- Roberts 3B
- Scherzer/P
Felipe Lopez appears to have been a late scratch from the Diamondbacks line-up tonight, resulting in some late shuffling of the line-up - Ojeda moving up from his originally-scheduled #8 spot. Reynolds starts again at 1B, and I suspect we will see a lot of him there against RHP, especially while Jackson remains out.

So Buckner took Augenstein's
spot in the rotation, right?
Buckner does seem to be a better starter than reliever!
They're just afraid.

Well, that is as good an explanation as anything else. They can work on the mechanics, I guess, but if the mental attitude isn’t there, it won’t help. Byrnes was doing the same thing last year — all the time instead of just sometimes like this year. Don’t know what changed for him. It’s frustrating to see the same mistake over and over.

Ok now… HOLD THEM

How many insurance runs do we need before we can trust the bullpen?
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Depends on which bullpen shows up
Either one, or no lead is safe.

Okay, I think it’s time to go to the bullpen.

Looking at the lineup, Roberts was always at third. I didn’t think it was a double switch.

So, clearly the 8th inning is just very, very bad for this team…….. siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh………
This is embarrassing
Can’t they figure out how to hold a SIX RUN lead????
They can
But it involves a conveniently timed, highly unlikely rainout.

- T. Gwynn hit for C. Meredith
- T. Gwynn singled to center
- D. Slaten relieved M. Scherzer
- B. Giles lined out to third

- J. Gutierrez relieved E. Vasquez
- C. Headley singled to right, D. Eckstein scored, S. Hairston to third, K. Kouzmanoff to second
- N. Hundley struck out swinging

- S. Hairston scored, K. Kouzmanoff to third, C. Headley to second on wild pitch
- D. Macias walked
- A. Gonzalez hit for C. Burke
- A. Gonzalez flied out to deep right
- End of Inning (4 Runs, 4 Hits, 0 Errors)
:(

So, Slaten was our best reliever that inning

Three outs to go. C’mon, bullpen, do what you’re paid for.

On a daily basis they usually don't suck that bad
but some guys weren’t available tonight and the ones that pitched blew chunks.
Other games
Lincecum pitched 8 shutout innings (they won) against the Braves. Also, Livo pitched a complete game for the Mets (gave up 1 run).
Fire Hinch
After leaving a tired starter with over 100 pitches to start the 8th yesterday and paying for it, Hinch does it again today????
Let the reliever start the inning with the bases empty and there’s no way he allows 6 runs. Well, unless his name is Jon Rauch.
