PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers, Aug 31, 2009 10:10 PM EDT
|
|
A chance for Arizona to make a statement, and help out both the Rockies and Giants, with a four-game series against the division-leading Dodgers. Los Angeles hit a rough patch after the All-Star break, and saw their lead cut from nine, to as little as two games just last week. However, they have righted the ship of late, taking two of three from both the Rockies and Reds on the road, and return to Dodger Stadium where they are 40-25, the second-best home record in the NL [the Cardinals are 41-25].
Having managed to pull a win out against a left-handed starter yesterday, the Diamondbacks get to 'enjoy' another opposing southpaw today. We've already seen Wolf three times this season, and he is 2-0 with a 3.92 ERA against us in those starts - the one time we got to him, for five runs in six innings, the bullpen let him off the hook with one of their patented eighth-inning meltdowns. Davis has faced Los Angeles twice in 2009, allowing six earned runs in 10.1 innings, so advantage Dodgers probably there.
However, the Diamondbacks have got their ship righted, sweeping the Astros over the weekend, and are on a four-game winning streak. They will have to do it without Chad Qualls, as Nick Piecoro reports he will have surgery on the knee, ending his season - Billy Buckner replaces him on the roster, according to the Dbacksinsider Twitter feed. In the same story, Nick Piecoro says two teams are apparently interested in Jon Garland, with a view to getting him available for their post-seas roster. We'll see how that goes.
Line-up
- Ryan Roberts LF
- Rusty Ryal 2B
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Miguel Montero C
- Chris Young CF
- Brandon Allen 1B
- Augie Ojeda SS
- Doug Davis P
Might be a bit late, as we're watching Rocknrolla, but should about for most of this one.

Is it even a question?
Anytime you can watch a game is good in my book.

Oooh
Mark’s making a pitch to make Max Scherzer our closer.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Not a bad idea...

If we can put someone else in to start
Sure. But I don’t know if Buckner’s that guy. And if we’re thinking about trading Garland…
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."

I still subscribe
to the thought that he is more valuable as an above average starter.
However, if next year he shows no improvment in pitching further into games, I would be on board withgiving him a shot down there.

3 out
so Manny can go sit down again
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.
Nice work by Davis

Surgery
Diamondbacks closer Chad Qualls will undergo surgery in the next few days to repair a torn patella femoral ligament in his left knee, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Qualls will need three to four months before he is back at full strength, Hinch said, which should give him plenty of time to be ready for spring training next year.

Interesting game in Texas. Blue Jays were 11-0 up, and are now only one ahead of the Rangers in the eighth inning.
And we thought we could blow leads…

There's
probably not much you can tell me, but the MCC colleges have forced all the students to use a new “Google Apps” email for official emails. Luckily we can set up a forwarding address, but it doesn’t seem to want to forward any mail from there to my Gmail.

His numbers batting leadoff are so different than anything above sixth.

which is weird
his OBP still doesn’t play in the leadoff, but his OPS/wOBA doesn’t play anywhere else other than like 6th or 7th

Alright guys
Garland has a TEN MILLION DOLLAR option for 2010. There is absolutely no chance he was going to be retained. Also, he sucks, so there is no chance he would even be a Type B. So since we were gonna lose him outright, might as well get something for him.

Don't know...
about early-20th century Nazis, but the music of neo-Nazi skinheads (e.g. Skrewdriver) is referred to as Oi! I’ve spent enough years on the hardcore punk scene to know that. That’s probably what is confusing NASCAR. I think the name of the music more to do with the link between Brit skinheads and soccer hooliganism (and the aforementioned oggy, oggy, oggy, oi, oi, oi chants), though. Anyone who’s ever watched the British version of The Office has heard Gareth use the chant, too. He may be an ass, but I’d be hesitant to suggest that a character on a major British sitcom was using Nazi slogans.

Oi is tied to skinheads, but not all skinheads are neo-nazis. A lot of the Oi punk bands were anti-establishment, and sometimes socialist.

Nothing creates a major fanbasel
like good baseball and (one thing they do have) a winning tradition. The problem is there is nothing now to suggest that they intend to even compete in 2010 now that they’ve gotten rid of their main set up man and a front-line starting pitcher.

Though, let's be honest
Did you really think we were going to pick up the $10m option on Garland? Because I certainly didn’t.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
In a cut rate operation
probably not. But this is the big leagues. It means major risks to obtain major rewards.
Orrrrr
move him and get something potentially better?
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
There's no substitute for experience
in a starting pitcher. You know the story, a bird in hand is better than those two lurking somewhere in the bush (leagues).
Problem is
Experience = a lot of money. We only got Garland because he had an off 2008.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Which is why
a young starting pitcher like Tim Lincecum has NO CHANCE to, for example, win the Cy Young award last year in his 2nd season…

Not really the issue...
Arte’s not just about profits. He’s a sportsfan who happens to have the money to spend. Proof? The guy is a major donor to U of A athletics. He’s not the Jim Click type who trots out U of A stuff in commercials. He’s the type who stays in the background and keeps his mouth shut while pouring millions into the program. He and Click are the reasons Arizona could pay Sean Miller and give Stoops an extension all in the same year. U of A athletics takes no money from the state. It is a self-supporting entity. The reasons for that are the boosters. Add in the fact that his is not the major MLB franchise in the LA area, yet he spends. I just think Arizona would have been radically better off if Colangelo hadn’t been so self-important.

I did not know
that Colangelo turned down an offer from Moreno.
by NASCARbernet on Sep 1, 2009 12:54 AM EDT up reply actions
See here
If he had his way, he would have bought the Diamondbacks instead of the Angels. He tried and failed, losing out in a bitter and personal showdown with former owner Jerry Colangelo. Moreno owned 5.3 percent at the time but wanted to buy a majority stake and ultimately run the club. Colangelo thought Moreno’s offer was too low and fought off the possible hostile takeover by rounding up $160 million in new capital from other investors.
Fellow shareholders who were at the meeting said when Colanagelo announced he was looking for more money, Moreno pulled out his checkbook and said: “You don’t need those investors. Here’s my money.” Colangelo shot him down in what several witnesses described as an angry and embarrassing confrontation. Moreno and Colangelo have refused to talk publicly about the showdown for years.

I thought Arte was forced out by Kenrick, but since that does not seem to be the case, it does change my thinking a bit. Still. . .
I wouldn't.

Agreed.
THIS is how you judge a team; the way it plays against another team with “more” to play for.

Hey
If it makes you feel better, I’ve had the Rockies Rookie team’s hat in my avatar for awhile and it’s gone unnoticed. I’m a Rockies fan in the playoffs when we’re out… I hate the Giants.

They seem less offensive. Everyone on their team sucks except for the starting pitching and Pablo Sandoval.
Because you crappy expansion teams (meaning every expansion team but us… I said “crappy expansion teams”, dammit!) have to know your place!
Also, as Jim pointed out recently, Toolo plays everyday, while TIMMAY only plays once every five.

I'm going to attempt to actually use stats for once...
HIs BB/9, HR/9, H/9, and WHIP are all down, his ERA+ is up (+27), he has ten more IP than last season already, an ERA that dropped almost 1, and three more wins in three less games. I didn’t say he was godly, just surprisingly better than what I was expecting.
