Gameday Thread, #54: 6/3 vs. Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers, Jun 3, 2009 10:10 PM EDT


Ari_medium


Jon Garland
RHP, 4-4, 5.75

<a class='sbn-auto-link' href=


Chad Billingsley
RHP, 6-3, 2.80

Posting this very early since, at 4:05pm [Arizona time], the Giants will be playing the Nationals and Randy Johnson will be going for win #300. Regardless of your opinion on the matter, it's a significant milestone and so I am exercising my Doc Marten-wearing, mint julep-sipping prerogative to open up this thread to follow that game as well as our own, later tonight.

The entire tone of this series flipped abruptly in one inning last night. Before the bottom of the eighth, it looked like Arizona was set fair for victory, taking the set and giving them an opportunity to sweep Los Angeles in their own park. Now, it seems like it's going to be a struggle to avoid dropping the series, especially with Jon Garland on the mound facing Chad Billingsley. Garland's last outing was awful, but if there's any comfort, it's that he has been much better on the road - his ERA splits to date are 2.13 vs. 8.71, with a road OPS 385 points better. It may largely be BABIP-related: Garland's "true" form is likely somewhere in the middle.

For Billingsley, the reverse is true - his home ERA is more than twice that on the road, though since his Dodger Stadium number is still only 3.66, we're not exactly talking lit up like Tony 'House of' Peña this series. All told, opponents have only managed a line of .230/.319/.306 against him, with right-handers below the Uecker Line, so expect to see as many southpaws crammed into the line-up as possible.

Probably not going to be about. Going full bore on the house-move thing, and have to take several boxes of books, DVDs, etc. over to Half-Price Books tonight, see what we can get for them! Azreous on the recap, and even if the game sucks (and after last night, my jaded state of fandom suspects this is certainly the most likely scenario), he can maybe talk about Randy Johnson instead.

Lineup

 

  1. Lopez - 2B
  2. Parra - LF
  3. Upton - RF
  4. Drew - SS
  5. Reynolds - 3B
  6. Montero - C
  7. Young - CF
  8. Whitesell - 1B
  9. Garland - P

Meh......

I’m pretty much ambivalent about the entire thing.

So, I had to change my signature because it had gotten old, but I didn't know what to replace it with. Until snakecharmer revealed a deep, dark secret to me: she dislikes long signatures that are essentially about nothing. So, naturally, the only thing to do was to make my new signature be really long and stupid. HAHA! Take THAT, Jenny!! Whatcha gonna do now??

Ok, I laughed

Though I do feel for the guy. He can only deal the cards he’s been dealt and at the moment, that includes a sore Chad Qualls, two pitchers with six games above Double-A and Jon Rauch. I can’t fault those who argue blame has to be somewhat laid at those who constructed the pen, and thought Tom Gordon was a good use of resources.

Why is Young still here?

Him failing at life again last night was the second most frustrating thing that happened.

When will enough be enough?

I dont care how good he is in center field, he’s made of epic fail at the plate and it’s our bats and not our D that has been dragging this team into the abyss.

Please send Young down so he can screw his head back on straight.

I heard fault being blamed on CY for not making that catch last night (the one that cleared the bases and gave me nightmares) and that he should have slammed into the wall trying.

Glavine is on DL also…

Hey Look, Drew in cleanup again. Aparently hinch manages on the “He must be due” theory. Like Pena must be due for a clean inning.

Drew is awesome..but he is a #2 hitter. Renyolds at #4 Parra at #5.

He did okay in the leadoff spot last year, didn't he?

But I agree, not a good #2. Right now, I’d say he should be 6.

In general

Drew hit .313/.362/.538 while batting leadoff last year, good enough for the second best average in the NL among anyone with 200 or more plate appearances there.

Justin Upton Contract Extension

Do you guys think he’ll be locked up long-term by your club or that they will attempt to build around him, and buy out his arbitration years? This guy is a great young player, he’s Bo Jackson-like in some ways. I don’t wanna see him leave Arizona….. he could turn that into a baseball town.

Not enough money, and I assume Upton will do the same thing BJ has done and refrain from signing an extension before free agency.

Similar to DD, he can be good or bad, but he’ll eat up innings. A career .500 (haven’t pulled exact stats) pitcher, who fills a role because better pitchers are expensive.

Playing Manager

And evaluating our lineup:
Lopez: Good productive second base. Not a great leadoff hitter, but adaquete.
Parra: Young, but looks like a decent 4th outfielder. Hustling could move him up.
Upton: Potential HOF type great, but very young. Time will tell (I’m old-I’ve seen a bunch of phenoms)
Drew: Solid over the long hall. Good hitting shortstops still are not common. Shouldn’t bat cleanup.
Reynolds: If he’d stop rushing his throws into errors, not bad at 3rd. If he’d learn when to back off his swings, he’d be a bigtime hitter. Currently a better choice at 1st, he’s a homer/strikeout hitter.
Montero: Always good to have a lefty catcher who can hit decently. Snyder is the main catcher, and pretty good (Not every team can have a Mauer)
Young: I wish I knew. He has power, can run, field, and he seems smart enough to learn to hit. But everybody in the league knows he is a sucker for the breaking balls.
Whitesell: How did 1st base become such a black hole? Whitesell is not a major league hitter. Tracy failed, but he was always too short for 1st. Jackson is better in left when healthy. Tony Clark will be a great bench coach.
Bench? Ojeda is one of those utility players you need to have; always plays hard and smart, making up for marginal talent. Roberts looks like the next Augie. Byrnes had one great (outlier) year, but otherwise he’s an average outfielder and mediocre hitter at best. He’s got a great future in marketing.
Who did I forget?

can we get a few years of reliable relief pitching by trading Lopez, Ojeda or Montero?

maybe for Lopez, but not much relief

"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"

by pygalgia on Jun 3, 2009 10:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

Reason

Most teams have a “utility guy” and a 2nd catcher already. As a 2nd baseman, Lopez can fill a hole from injury or mediocrity for a team in the hunt. But nobody is going to trade a proven reliever for any of them now.

by pygalgia on Jun 3, 2009 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not thinking

of a “heart of the bullpen” kind of player here. I was thinking of a long reliever and one or two short relievers with ERAs at (or a bit above) 4. Kind of a dull foundation we can use to support all our feast-or-famine relievers. It seems like they might be available for a second baseman with some offensive potential (and he hits well too! Nyuk! Nyuk! Hyuk!), a decent hitting backup catcher and a good utility player.

Package?

Might work, but I don’t see the team that has the needs/excess bullpen to go for it.

"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"

by pygalgia on Jun 3, 2009 11:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't think I'd package them

but if I was playing general manager, I’d probably shop them around. If we could trade two of our reliable cogs for two reliable cogs from other teams, it’d do wonders for my blood pressure.

True

But most GM’s want to trade problems for potential. What you get back may not help your BP (see:Rauch, Jon).

That's kinda like

the trades I’m imagining. At the time it looked like a good idea. It’s just hindsight that makes it go sour.

Lopez, Ojeda and Montero aren’t really problems if we’re evaluating them the way you are in your original post. They’re just luxuries for a struggling team. We could trade of some of our surplus strength and shore up a weakness in return.

by Scrbl on Jun 3, 2009 11:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’d have to go into a lengthy post to explain why, but the bottom line is that you’re not going to get a big return on any of those three unless you get really, really lucky. Maybe if a team needs the spare parts, they’ll give you a prospect.

"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"

by pygalgia on Jun 3, 2009 11:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh do try

“You’re wrong but I don’t want to tell why” is so unsatisfying.

Essentially what I’m advocating is trading one type of spare part for another. As ‘Skins points out below, 4.0 ERAs aren’t especially good. I’m sure there are teams out there who’d be willing to get Lopez, Montero or Ojeda in exchange for a mediocre but reliable pitcher.

You DO realize

that a reliever a bit above 4 ERA will give up nearly a run every other inning pitched?

So, I had to change my signature because it had gotten old, but I didn't know what to replace it with. Until snakecharmer revealed a deep, dark secret to me: she dislikes long signatures that are essentially about nothing. So, naturally, the only thing to do was to make my new signature be really long and stupid. HAHA! Take THAT, Jenny!! Whatcha gonna do now??

by DbacksSkins on Jun 3, 2009 11:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes I do

That’s why I chose it. But half a run for every inning of relief looks pretty good right now, especially if it comes at an even pace. That’d give us some good options in games like last night. A reliable 4.0 ERA isn’t great in a 1 or 2-run game, but I would love to have that kind of option when we have a bigger lead.

Jebus.....

Miggy has NOT made the expected progress offensively.

Oh, boy, now it’s Chris Young with 2 outs.

So, I had to change my signature because it had gotten old, but I didn't know what to replace it with. Until snakecharmer revealed a deep, dark secret to me: she dislikes long signatures that are essentially about nothing. So, naturally, the only thing to do was to make my new signature be really long and stupid. HAHA! Take THAT, Jenny!! Whatcha gonna do now??

That takes some of the pressure off Chris

and Twinner. Now CY only has to get one out, and Twinner doesn’t have to curse him for a double-play.

Hoytsstash has put forth an attempt to discuss what he believes to be the Arizona Cardinals dominance over the Phoenix sports realm due to their recent successful season. In response, soco has replied with a feigned confusion, signifying his lack of interest in the gridiron team. However- and I think you’ll agree, this is where the ensuing amusement occurs- Hoytsstash has misperceived soco’s feigned confusion for genuine confusion on the topic! Oh, such hilarity!

I think they gotta

pretty up their performance a bit first.

Why is Snyder not the main starting catcher…He plays soooo much better being everday with Miggy as back up.. Montero swings for fences every time..and thats the result

Freeze it..and make a popsicle

by Baja F1 on Jun 4, 2009 12:43 AM EDT reply actions  

Snyder

is the main starting catcher, Montero just gets more starts than a normal backup.

That's because

Miggy was RJ’s toady.

Why the Hell

are the Dodgers playing “Don’t Stop Believin’” with a 1-0 lead?? That seems like bad karma.

Pretty arrogant for the team with the best record in baseball, too.

It's an underdog's song.

And when you have the best record in baseball, and far and away the biggest budget in your division, playing that song makes me want to line up everyone associated with the Dodgers’ organization and shoot them all.

Oh I understand

It seems like

nearly every football league in the world has a team or two that has won the vast majority of championships; most leagues devolve into “who will be second place this year.”
