PrintMiami Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 9, 2009 9:40 PM EDT
|

The heady euphoria of sweeping the Padres out of town now has to be tempered with the realization that, let's be honest, they really suck. I mean, you thought we were bad? Two of the games we gave San Diego seven innings head-start and still beat them. Now, for something a bit more challenging: a team with an actual winning record. Y'know, the sort against whom the Diamondbacks are 19-30 this season.
Just to make the extending of the win streak to six even more difficult, Arizona will be playing the entire game with one hand behind their back. Well, not quite, but they will be sending Yusmeiro Petit to the mound,. Let;'s face it, that basically amounts to the same thing. The only way we got the win in his last outing was because Hinch gave him the hook after three innings. before he had the chance to allow more than four runs. Our best chance for victory tonight might be some kind of ambush as he makes his way in from the bullpen. I expect Reynolds, in his new role as team leader, to be at the head of the charge.
Speaking of Mark, he's included in the day's audio clippage, after the news that he came third in the All-Star Final Man balloting, despite (or perhaps because of?) all the frantic canvassing on his behalf. Also in today's interviews some interesting stuff from Doug Davis on Gambo and Ash: not heard it yet myself, but apparently says he wants a three or four year deal to stay in Arizona. Even though he's having by far the best season of his career, not sure I'd bite, for exactly that reason. Also stuff from Hall and Hinch, so get your ears on for this:

Line-up
- Felipe Lopez 2B
- Augie Ojeda SS
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Gerardo Parra LF
- Chris Young CF
- Tony Clark 1B
- Luke Carlin C
- Yusmeiro Petit P
Did I say one hand behind our back? I must have meant both of them. As well as being locked in the trunk of a car which has just fallen off a freighter over the Marianas Trench. DFA Clark gets to start and we also have Carlin, who has been on the roster for more than two weeks and has yet to get his first hit as a Diamondback. Oh, well: it was a nice winning streak while it lasted...

I said it for the Royals, and I'll say it again for the Padres
We’ve spent so much time losing to teams we should be beating that actually winning against teams we should beat is still a nice surprise.
You're giving me a headache trying to figger that out.
It's like living with a six-year old.

DBacks wins = good

Okay then!

Carlin's been up two weeks
sure but the kid’s only had 8 At-Bats. Two starts, one pinch-hit opportunity. He’ll get there….
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Though include the 94 at-bats he had with the Padres last year
And he’s a career .137 hitter. At age 28. :-(

Maryland
He is from near my part of Maryland, I was happy when the DBacks picked him up for that. But he pretty much can’t hit.
Which part
of Murrland?

We lead MLB in comeback wins
after the 7th with 11……. wow how come that number doesn’t seem right!
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Not quite sure where that comes from
This says we are 7-41 when trailing after seven. I also note, bizarrely, we have a better win percentage trailing after six innings, than trailing after three…
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Hmm....
Yeah I don’t know where that came from either….
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Oh, it must be
“Behind or tied” to start the 8th – 7+4=11 – but that’s still strange that we LEAD MLB in that particular category.
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
It helps
That we are “behind or tied” more often than just about anyone else full stop…

out
He will be out for the year, he’s always unlucky when it comes to injuries.
He's got his 300.
What other reason does he have to return?

Ojeda didn’t charge a ground ball. called a base hit, but shoulda been an out.

Over/under on batters before Petit allows a homer?
I’d set the line at nine
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Two on, no damage done
That’s an improvement over last start already.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Back in Double-A
Where, truthfully, he belonged. Only batting .182, but 52 BB to 40 K, so his OBP is .341! Probably the only time I’ve seen a line with 200+ at-bats where SLG is more than a hundred points below his OBP…

Awwww.

Of course
We’ll probably have to keep scoring at about two runs per inning with Petit on the mound, but we’ll take it!

Wow.....
haven’t heard THAT one in awhile.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Umm
communication, boys. the double steal only works if both players run.
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Well, that sucked
Looked like a botched double steal. Of course, with Clark up, it would probably have been an out anyway, but would have been nice to get past his spot in the order, at least.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
That's what I was curious about there
But a double steal with two outs? Seems a little questionable to me.
"Wait, am I keeping it real or kicking it old school? I can never remember which one is cool now."
It was a cunning ploy
So we could have the Triple Vortex of Uber-Batting Suck up in the second – DFA, George and the Petit Unit, then clear them so Lopez leads off the third.

He walked up to the pitcher and asked him to tag him out.
When the pitcher missed the tag, the runner gave him a hug, and convinced the umpire to call him out on interference.

Yeah, but...
That was the end of the season with scrubs. And whoever the hell Knott was, he gave up eight runs…and all were unearned.
Today is just our regular roster. Our wonderful team.

Don't look
at it, it can’t pay no child support.
I was so lucky getting mono. That was like the best diet ever.
But, but...

Aren’t you?

Wow.
Jim, sounds like this one should come with a NSFW label, and should be hidden.

To his credit,
Uggla admits that they only hit about 1 ball hard in the 8th, and they just had a ton of voodoo breaks go their way.
When I get over my rage, I’ll calculate the BABIP in THAT ONE INNING.

You're
right, Frank, but you’re very peaked. Want to vomit? Come on in.

Wait, WHAT?
“Bullpen ineffective as D-backs lose large lead, fall”
Ineffective? Ineffective?
That’s how you describe… tonight?
Alright. That’s cool.
I'd disagree
I’d say they were very effective. Just, you know, not at what they were supposed to be doing.
"Wait, am I keeping it real or kicking it old school? I can never remember which one is cool now."
Soo......
what were they effective at?

Very effective at that.
