Woo! East-coast day-game! On a Sunday! Get the crossants in! I'll bring the coffee! Yes, as you may have noticed from my over-enthusiastic use of exclamation points, this is your virtual Jim bringing you the Gameday Thread. The real one is still tucked up in bed, likely working out whether he can snag another pillow from Mrs. SnakePit's side of the bed without her noticing. There may be some use of the remote control as well, it's hard to be sure. Let's just say, he won't be arriving before first-pitch.
Should be an interesting pitching match-up: Garland, like Doug Davis, does definitely not deserve the W-L record that he has acquired, given an ERA+ above 100. Since the start of June in particular, he has a 1-6 record in eleven starts, despite nine quality starts and an ERA of 3.38. Be nice if the offense [names not certain at time of scheduling this post, but I'm thinking Reynolds and Upton will be involved somewhere...] could spring to life, having scored a total of seventeen runs during his six July appearances.
Line-up
- Stephen Drew - SS
- Gerardo Parra - CF
- Justin Upton - RF
- Miguel Montero - C
- Chad Tracy - 1B
- Ryan Roberts - 2B
- Alex Romero - LF
- Augie Ojeda - 3B
- Jon Garland - P

You Might Hate Me
I’m a morning person. Since it’s Sunday, I slept in ‘til 6:30 (I’m usually up at 5:00). Long past breakfast and household chores, I’m thinking about cracking a beer at first pitch. It’s noon somewhere.

The comments on Amazin' Avenue aren't promising
“unless they are willing to wait about 3 hours, this is a day-night Dh tomorrow” and “If they wait a few hours they can probably get this game in” Certainly, looking at the forecast, I’d say if we get anything going before 1pm [Arizona time], I’ll be surprised. I think they might wait it out though, since it’s not as if either team has to go anywhere – seems to be a window 1-4pm when the odds are a better, though there’s still a significant chance of rain.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil

Any sport where you beat an object with a glorified club
Is not a sport that calls for civil behavior. It’s one that calls for beer, shouting at umps, and booing on every well-called ball when your team’s pitcher has two strikes on a batter with two outs.

If you’re ever up in Flagstaff, I’ll be happy to buy you a REAL beer
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
You mean the 'big ditch'?
Yeah, once you’ve seen one Grand Canyon, you’ve seen them all.
Whitewater is still my favorite drug, though.
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Hey!
Flagstaff has more than just a hole in the ground to stare at!
If you head out east on I-40, you’ll find Meteor Crater, a second hole in the ground to stare at.

And that city is a pretty beautiful place to be four or five months out of the year.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Which months?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Usually
May to August. Make what connection you wish with the fact that my favorite times in Flagstaff are the ones where classes aren’t in session.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Are those
the months with lousy sledding? And then the rest of the year is Winter?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
The sledding is nice
But Flagstaff is just a town that’s not designed for the kind of traffic that it brings in when the students are there. Driving out of that city on a Friday afternoon is a long, annoying process.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."

Seeing as it's home
I like all the months.

I really should make a trip up there eventually.

Mogollon Brewing’s Horny Toad IPA for openers
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Hmm.
Yep, never had it. And I DO enjoy a good IPA.
At the same time, once you’ve had Stone Ruination, (the certifiably most bitter beer in the world by IBUs) every other IPA is a bit of a letdown.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

If
you like “ruination”, you’ll really like “horny toad”. Slightly higher IBU’s, and a very full hops blend. It may be available somewhere in the valley soon.

Random update:
James Shields has a no-hitter through seven innings and 89 pitches against the Royals. Score is 0-0 because Brian Bannister is plowing through the Rays as well to the tune of six shutout (but 100 pitches). But it is, once again, the Kansas City Royals. A big, giant MEH.

D-backs negotiating with Cabrera
Share
Today at 12:42pm
The D-backs are in discussions with right-hander Daniel Cabrera about a contract, but as of Sunday afternoon no agreement had been reached.
Arizona officials declined to comment on situation.
D-backs scouts saw Cabrera throw in the Dominican Republic on Saturday.
My sense is that they are looking for him to add pitching depth to the organization. Cabrera was designated for assignment by the Nationals on May 27 after going 0-5 with a 5.85 ERA in nine games (eight starts).
The D-backs have been using Yusmeiro Petit as their fifth starter of late and due to struggles by some of the pitching prospects as well as some dead arm periods, the club has not had many other options.
Whether Cabrera would be used as a starter or reliever should the D-backs wind up signing him is not known.

there’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s a “me”?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
O rly?
Well….. did you know that Chipotle used to be owned by McDonald’s?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
....really?
And people say I'm cynical, they never want the truth but life will have more twists and turns than found in any book....
Yeah.
McDonald’s owned a majority interest until 2006.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
interesting...
And people say I'm cynical, they never want the truth but life will have more twists and turns than found in any book....
Wow
I didn’t realize the Mets had never thrown a no-hitter.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Padres, too.
Who else? Rays? Marlins?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Rays and the Rockies
The Marlins have thrown one, against the Diamondbacks.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Ahh, that's right. Blech.
It’ll never happen for the Rockies, because their home park is LOLCOORZ.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Sorry
The Marlins have thrown four no-hitters. Oddly, all against NL West teams.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Were the other 3
all named the San Diego Padres?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Nope
Everyone except the Dodgers has one.
And the Dodgers are the only team to throw a no-hitter against the Marlins.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Ichiromero
runs the count full, drives in Miggy! 1-0.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Run!
2 out hit with RISP? I thought we took that out of the playbook.
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Aww,
Garland puts it into play, but lines out to 2B.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Ho hum.
Garland gets another DP, this time from Wright.
Brandon Webb is not impressed.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
For once
his defense is coming through for him!!
::knock on wood::
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Exact opposite
as Pelfrey’s situation.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
the delay didn't hurt the D'backs apparently
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
let's go Miggy

GP Ks,
but Upton BBs.
Pelfrey at 96 pitches through 4.1 IP. Ouch.
Do your thang, Miggy.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
0-2 single!
Bases juiced, still 1 out.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
And....
Francoeur has an AMAZING arm.
C’mon, Tracy! Get it done.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Yep.
It’s been get’d.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Mercifully
Our catcher does not hit into a double-play for once…
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil

Ohhh man!
Everybody missed the tags, Montero stood there, THEN was tagged out.

Ala Eric Byrnes

Wait a second....
are you trying to imply that Eric Byrnes did something boneheaded?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Argh!
NOT a headsup play there by Miggy.
Schneider missed the tag, but Miggy missed the plate.
…and then just stood there.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Missed something
the tag, the plate, the opportunity
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Well,
I’m glad we got the 2, but that could have been MUCH better.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Duh-huh HEE-haw...
Let’s hope that one doesn’t come back to bite us.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil

gets one back. 3-1.

Triple?? Sullivan?
Wow, way far away from that one……
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
ShiftFAIL.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
And Sullivan
follows up the homer with a 0-out triple.
C’mon, Garland. Hunker down here.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Incidentally,
why is Augie playing 3B today instead of Mark?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Day game before a night game
gets Mark his only day off on the trip.
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Day Off
for MarK. Planned, they said. Could “pinch” or late defense.
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
"late defense"
I LOL’d.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
They may need someone to throw himself into the stands for a foul ball later.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Can you make a line-up change
While a foul ball is in the air?
“No, don’t think Augie can reach that one. Quick: send Mark out there…”
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Sure
Aren’t we playing under wrestling rules? Just have him run up and tag Mark in. And then hit Mr. Met in the back with a folding chair while the umpire is distracted.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
I find your ideas intriguing
And wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I just
wish to see the described actions.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Garland
at 50 pitches. Pelfrey at 107.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
....goddammit.
Cora 2B. 3-2.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

Garland?
Howzabout an out or three?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
That's one.
Let’s get two more now.
Ugh…. I DESPISE Gary Sheffield.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

all he needs to do is
give up a single and he will have thrown the cycle this inning!

WOW was that a hard-hit out.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Whew.
3 quick outs, as requested.
Still clinging to a 1 run lead.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
You forgot to request it
before the runs scored though.
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
I sorta thought
that was understood….
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Dude, with this team?
You gotta be very specific.
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
we gotta stop recruiting
pitchers that like to live this life on the razor’s edge lifestyle ;-)
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
And start recruiting
Catchers that know you have to touch home-plate to score a run?
Just a suggestion…
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
DFA that guy.
Needs more Snyder.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
There is a middle ground, you know
Finding it occasionally might be nice.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Are you
implying that the world isn’t black and white?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Madness!
We should DFA Jim.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
You'd
either be claimed off waivers by another blog, like FishStripes for example, or you’d have to go down and start blogging on the Aces?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Oh, Jim, you know we'd never DFA you
Any power struggle on this blog would probably require a violent coup, and even if we somehow succeeded, then we’d face the wrath of Mrs. Snakepit, and no one wants to worry about that.

didn't see it
but reminds me of when home was stolen on scherzer, and i thought miguel was very lazy at the “tag”, and blamed him more than max, seeing it in person.

He really thought his foot hit the plate
It was close, but clearly he wasn’t safe.
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Well, yeah.
Obviously he thought it did, but why stand there? Doesn’t hurt to make sure…
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Right
Being a catcher, he should know when – and WHY – the ump hasn’t made a call.
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Brain fart.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
yea, that's what i get from the radio
and here. neither guy knew they didn’t do what they thought they’d done (if that’s comprehendible, lol!).
the name of the team is The DIAMONDBACKS
Their catcher
Clearly worked it out before ours did. If the umpire hasn’t called you safe or out, it isn’t hard to guess it’s because you are neither?
And I’m not exactly paid to know that kind of thing…
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
To be fair,
Schneider’s a pretty experienced catcher.
Although, Montero, being a catcher himself, probably should have recognized what was up.

Drive him in, Droo!
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

drives in the run. 4-2!
…but gets tagged out at 2B.
Still, should be 5-2….
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

That was weird
I wasn’t quite sure why Parra tried for second there. But, hey, nice to come back from lunch with a lead.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."

He probably assumed

It certainly helps
that the Mets are swinging very aggressively today.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

with a pretty impressive outing today.

Augie!!!
Triple / single-errors.
1 for 1, on base all 4 times!

a triple.

And way to give up on the play there, Mets defense.

I just wish they had played this way all season.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

Too true
But it’s nice that they seem to be playing a little more consistently of late.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
They're
really not a “bad” team (see:Pirates, Nationals, Padres); just not a “good” team. The dissapointment comes from seeing enough to cause hope, followed by stupid failures. We’ve lost a bunch of games that we should have won.
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Well,
for me, the disappointment comes from the expectation that this team was going to compete with the Dodgers this year.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

Ho!
Fantastic catch by GP.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

8 good innings from Garland.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Absolutely.
Garland is trade bait, and Qualls probably isn’t.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Not to mention
the fact that Garland’s certainly earned that right.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
I agree w/ this reason
more than the first. If they were worried about trading him, I would think they might pull him after the fine performance, rather than a) risk his numbers and b) risk any injury.
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
You can't
have your cake and eat it, too. I think when Jonny’s rollin’, the way he was today, you ride out that momentum as long as you can.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Exactly
He earned it, it’s a good move. Less so because he’s trade bait than simply because he was on a roll, it was right to let him finish it.

Now I’m kinda hungry.

0 3 ball counts for Garland.
Now THAT is pretty impressive.

That is very impressive
Certainly helps keep the pitch count down, too.

with garland hurling this good it puts the d-backs in an odd situation: he looks more and more promising to pull the cord on that option for next year, but he’ll also look more and more promising to contending clubs to nab through waivers. i’m very content to pull the option cord next year if nothing great comes along via trade. he’s a very solid 4 man in the rotation and he’s only grown more comfortable as the year has worn on.

nice of the guy
to earn his paycheck. A nice, quiet steady performance on the road, a few bumps along the way but he did a great job minimizing the damage done thanks to some solid Defence, a nice thing to see actually.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
