Arizona Diamondbacks at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 1, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
|
|
And the calendar turns to July. Let's hope the results for the Diamondbacks this month are a little better than June's 9-17 - though that bald statistic conceals some interesting numbers, which I'll be writing about this evening, while Azreous does the recap. Looks like a bit of an uneven match-up here, with Cueto (career ERA vs. Arizona, 2.37) going up against Garland, who had one of his 'bad' outings in May against Cincinnati, giving up seven runs and having to be bailed out before getting through four innings.
If only we could play eight Uptons, since he's the only one who really had a handle on Cueto - he's 3-for-6, with all three hits being for extra-bases, and two leaving the park. Parra and, of all people, Augie Ojeda, have also gone deep off Cueto, but overall, the current Diamondbacks are batting sub-Uecker, having gone 9-for-46 combined agsinst the Reds' pitcher. In contrast, Cincinnati are hitting .351 off Garland, with Brandon Phillips (6-for-14, five for extra-bases) leading the hit parade.
Good news about Brandon Webb not needing surgery, though part of me grumbles about having done all that research into labrums, needlessly. :-) Here's to him making a triumphant return in September and performing in such a way as to make picking up his 2010 option a lock, as it was before this season began.
Lineup
- Felipe Lopez 2B
- Stephen Drew SS
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Gerardo Parra LF
- Chris Young CF
- Miguel Montero C
- Chad Tracy 1B
- Jon Garland P
Tracy gets his first action since coming back off the DL, with Reynolds returning to third-base. Otherwise, business pretty much as usual for the line-up. Finally, some audio from Dan Haren on the Doug and Wolf show this morning.

how is your Mom?

She's still in the hospital
She has pneumonia and shortness of breath and is still waiting the results of some tests to tell her whether or not she has tuberculosis. They don’t really think she has TB but they won’t know until the results are in. Everyone going into her room has to wear a mask. She’s all worried about what will happen if her Medicare doesn’t cover all the costs when she should be worrying about getting better. She’s not rich but certainly not poor and that should be the last thing she is thinking about right now. Thanks for asking though.

My Mom spent last week in the hospital
with sepsis and MRSA. She also had to have everybody mask up and gown up when they went into the room. Then they transferred her to a rehab center to get her strength back, and now suddenly no masks or gowns.
Have somebody talk to the business office about how much Medicare will cover. My Mom’s hospital stay in March, and her rehab in March/April was largely covered. Her rehab is covered 100% for the first 30 days. And then you can help ease your Mom’s mind about costs, hopefully.

The bullpen corps
has a “snack bag” that the RP with least seniority is required to tote from the clubhouse to the pen before each game. That’s Zavada, and they showed a clip of him today, sheepishly walking down the line in front of all the fans.
(The vets tie a bunch of pink bandanas, my little pony crap, etc to it.) Pretty amusing

by snakecharmer on Jul 1, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's a combination of things, really.
If the outcome is relatively clear toward the end of the game (given our anemic offense, even a 1-0 lead seemed safe today), I’ll start writing about the early innings even while the game is still in progress. After all, the results won’t change. I usually already have the intro written unless something spectacular happens. And I type 100+ WAM, so I can get whatever’s left (even if it’s the entire thing, which happens sometimes) up on a pretty quick turnaround.

Two more props for AJ in the postgame
1. Conceded Cueto didnt have his best stuff today
2. Said Cueto “gave” them some walks, because he was so wild.
…instead of saying Cueto’s really tough and we did the best we could, blah, blah, blah. Fact is, Cueto was limping around like a rooster most of the night, and AZ should’ve been able to manufacture something. Hinch said we had bad ABs at crucial junctures, and I think that’s the right tone, if your goal is to get better.
