PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Pittsburgh Pirates, Aug 5, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
|
|
On July 25th, Davis and three relievers combined on an eight-hit shutout of the Phillies, and they haven't scored against us since. That was the first of three consecutive shutouts and tacking on the ninth inning of the preceding game gives us 28 straight scoreless innings. And now we're back where it pretty much started, with Davis pitching against Ross Ohlendorf. Last night's game was a reversal of the previous Petit/Duke match-up, but I think we'd be more than happy to settle for a repeat of the score from the 25th - 7-0 Arizona, with seven of our ten hits going for extra bases.
I think the baseball gods must have got their calendar confused, because a one-hitter by a replacement pitcher is usually the kind of game Azreous gets to recap. They'll really have to amp up the interest level for his return to the fold tonight: a three-homer game by a Diamondback, ninth-inning comeback, that kind of thing. Any kind of win would be our fourth straight on the road, a streak not surpassed for more than two years, since the Diamondbacks rolled off six consecutive victories from May 19-June 1, 2007.
Line-up
- Stephen Drew SS
- Gerardo Parra LF
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Miguel Montero C
- Ryan Roberts 2B
- Chad Tracy 1B
- Chris Young CF
- Doug Davis P

Well, how about CY?
He hit one yesterday… come on he deserves two now…

I wasn’t a huge fan of Hinch at the beginning.. But the team does seem to be playing better.
I can't acknowledge Hinch
until he gets tossed for the first time. It seems like he’s wasted a couple chances.
LOL
The one time i remember he went out, it was on an out call at first, and it was a little awkward to watch to be honest.

You should get recommended for any one of those!

You're fine
Take away the sparkly macros, and you could be talking about a certain editor here.

GREAT throw by Droooooooooo
How come everybody questioned his defense when he first came up?? He’s always looked solid.

I think with Drew
The questions on his defense are in his range, not his throws. Like the anti-Mark Reynolds.
But I could be wrong.

Or did Hinch completely out coach the PITT manager?? Hinch made the right moves at the right times.. and well. the other manager screwed up with the pitching change.
Sutton and Gracie seem to think so.

I figure
we’ve got 64 games left…if we go 70 and negative 6 down the stretch, we can catch the Dodgers.
agreed
remember the Miracle Mets?

Was that the only year
they managed to completely screw it up? Thought they did it 2 years in a row. lol

Well
Another game with Pitt, series with the Nats, and back with the Mets… could be quite a time to push up our win column!
He had it before, last year, and
he’s battled it this year.
“tricky injury” – no word on how long or if he’ll even be on the DL…

IF it's significant
He’ll be on the DL, but they don’t know yet.

you may be right. definitely don’t want to mess around with j-up… but i think the oblique strain isn’t the type of injury that you can hurt yourself too much by playing with it. it will sap power, though.

-- Bruce Catton
Yeah, at least for the next couple days.
If worst comes to worst, they can just make the DL date retroactive after then.
I guess not...
Though RyRo could be in the outfield, let Augie play 3rd.

Elbow tightness
Could be serious, now just thought of as a strain. Visiting Dr. James Andrews, some think it might need TJ surgery. If so, we are effed.

I've
never liked the idea of writing a recap before a game is over, even if it’s just the introduction.
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
It's a journalist thing.
I can hit certain parts in advance without too much worry. I’ll never understand how getting something up within 5 minutes of the game going final is any fun though (AP, I’m looking at you).
That's much more of a play-by-play
I could do THAT if I had to, but that’s boring.
And sure the middle innings won’t change but how do you decide what parts to focus on?

Personally,
I can hit an intro and write parts of the early inning happenings shortly after they happen. The later parts are about context, both big picture and small, as well as detailing the biggest moments of the game. Then it’s a Fangraph, a roll call, a closing graph, a ridiculouly clever caption and an auto-tag from being posted.
I've got to practice that... :)
I should probably look up when my next recap is though, heh.
