PrintSan Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 7, 2009 9:40 PM EDT
|
|
It largely sums up the season for Arizona that only two of our starters have won a game in the past month. Max has three victories, Dan four - however, Jon, Doug and the Triple-headed Beast of Replacement Suck have combined for sixteen starts since the last time any one of them saw a W by their name in the box-score. Davis has been especially unlucky: in his five appearances over that time, he has allowed nine earned runs in 30.2 innings, an ERA of just 2.64. Yet his record in that time is 0-2. It's got even more extreme of late; his past three outings each lasted seven innings with a single run allowed, and have all ended in no-decisions.
Tonight would be a nice time for that to end, though Correia is a rare Padres pitcher whose ERA is actually lower on the road than in Petco [4.41/4.68]. He beat Arizona at Petco on June 6th, with six innings of two-run ball, which started a streak for him of five straight quality starts. However, that came to a halt last time out, Houston scoring six runs off him in five innings. Hopefully, that marks the start of a new streak of futility for Correia.
I trust we have all voted at least twenty times today for him? If not, I will want to know why. Hinch said his 6-year-old daughter, Halley, is using her alloted computer time each day to vote for Mark, and in the clubhouse before batting practice, he was showing Luke Carlin how to vote... John McCain will also be endorsing Reynolds during the pre-game show tonight - now, if we can just get Janet Napolitano for that cross-platform support.
Bunch of interesting audio clips for you to listen to while we wait for first pitch. First, there's Justin Upton on Gambo and Ash from yesterday, then there's Derrick Hall with his weekly chat from Doug and Wolf this morning, AJ Hinch's afternoon discussion with G&A today, Reynolds on the G&A show too, and finally some pre-game comments from Hinch today.

Line-up
- Felipe Lopez 2B
- Stephen Drew SS
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Miguel Montero C
- Gerardo Parra LF
- Chad Tracy 1B
- Chris Young CF
- Doug Davis P
Same as last night, with the notable exception of DFA Clark, who gets replaced by Tracy, presumably because the latter showed the capability to get the ball out of the infield last night. A win tonight would tie the best streak of the season so far and, with Scherzer going tomorrow, would give us a real chance of completing a sweep around the rotation. Let's get it done.

Hey everyone
Manny struck out twice looking on a full count. Both times he began to trot to first… and gave the umpire crap.
Now he’s ejected. =)
They just showed it on MLB Tonight
He threw his elbow guard or whatever towards the umpire and walked onto the field in disgust.
The umpire saw it and threw him out immediately. Such a loser. And a cheater, at that.
Such
a good role model for the kids.

Byrnes on pregame
Mainly, Brandon Allen “fits our growth going forward” – they wanted a big left-handed bat for the offense among position players, preferably a first baseman.

Josh Whitesell?

Just added an interview with Reynolds from Gambo and Ash
- on the audio playlist, you may need to refresh the page to get it.

And it's also VERY apparent
That Reynolds had no idea Pena got traded, until the news was broken to him during the interview!

Waiting for more info on the prospect
But generally, if you can trade a reliever for a position player, I’d do that trade more often than not. Bullpen arms are not as hard to replace, even fairly decent ones like Pena.

Adrian Gonzalez only has a higher OBP
because there’s nobody else in the San Diego lineup, so they walk him all the time. It’s like when Bonds was the only decent player in San Francisco. They’d just walk him everytime he was up.

Curious to see who
Will replace Pena in the eighth inning. I suspect Rauch?
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
I feel sorry for D-Back fans
Jon Rauch as setup man? Ouch. When you really don’t want to win games. I’d rather throw Esmerling out there. Imagine if Qualls is traded too. Rauch as closer!
Offense should be good in a couple years though.
I'm sure
your pity is appreciated by SOMEone….

for what it's worth
I hope he gets out of the inning. I have Qualls in fantasy. But my opponent has Davis.
And done,
somehow.

Great work by Rauch!!!
Except for 2 doubles… then 3 good outs!

Wow
What I want to know is how that second double hit the top of the outfield fence, and stayed in play. Very glad it did, but it was the weirdest thing I’ve seen during a game in quite some time.

It bounced forward
It did…. it was strange but it did!

Man
I know we don’t need to broach this topic, but how was Doug Davis never mentioned for consideration for the All Star Game?
He only
has 3 wins. (4 now) No All Star starter with 3 wins deserves to be there.
……

I'm just saying
If Chad Billinsgley, Johan Santana, and Jason Marquis all got spots, why wasn’t Davis even in the conversation? He’s beating all of them by ERA+ this season, and it’s not like any of them were the only representative of their team. I never heard him mentioned.
Honestly, I was a little surprised to get two spots on the roster, let alone a distant, unlikely shot at a third, but it seems like Davis could have earned a mention. You’d at least like to pretend that coaches and analysts could look a little bit past his awful win-loss record.
Davis
has been pretty much money for the Diamondbacks the past three seasons, but people always seem surprised. He’s just too low profile of a player to get notice even from his peers.
I was so lucky getting mono. That was like the best diet ever.
He's always been solid for us
But honestly, he’s been above and beyond anything I expected from him this season.
Voting
This might be only time I amthankful to have sprint. It is so much easier than online
It's all about.. well baseball

I was wondering
If anyone had Sprint. It’s easy to set up a bunch of contacts (like 20) with that number, set that as a group, and text the group like fifty times. That’s 1000 votes! :O
Everyone was far less impressive today
Reynolds: 0-4
Buddha: 0-4
Kemp: 2-4
Victorino: 1-5
Guzman: 0-4
And sorry guys
Only like 180 votes tonight thus far. Jim, even though I am but the lowly newbie here at the SnakePit, I’m going to have to request you “officialize” the Mark Reynolds Voting Game for tomorrow so that everyone gets into it. Plus, we’ll see how he does tomorrow so we can tell ourselves that the Voting Game caused his hopeful upswing.
Us and the kid
at the game who did 400 of his own votes! :)

The ultimate awesomehood
Would be Gracie and Sutton picking up on it. I wish I lived in Phoenix… I’m not a huge fan of Vegas. However, I love San Fran and I sorta want to live there. Catch the Dbacks when they’re in town.
Picking up on what? The game?
