PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Washington Nationals, Aug 7, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
|
|
The two hottest team in the National League face off in this series. Yeah, you'd have got long odds against being able to say that for much of the season, but both Washington and Arizona come into this set of games riding five-game winning streaks. The Nationals just polished off a three-game sweep of Florida, coming back from a six-run deficit in the final contest, to win 12-8. The trio of Ryan Zimmerman, Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham have all been insanely hot of late - in the past 28 days, they are all batting .320 or better, with OPS above 1.100. But it's not just them - the team as a whole has hit .310 in the past two weeks.
Arizona will, of course, seek to continue their own run of success, and have batted .315 over the previous seven days. While we may not have Justin Upton for a while, I'm hopeful we'll get Ryan Roberts back at some point this series, though I guess that depends on his wife and the arrival of their child - in the meantime, Reynolds will be our backup middle-infielder, should one be needed to replaced Drew or Ojeda. AJ Hinch will be trying to avoid that particular fate, I imagine.
Jon Garland was great last time out, throwing a complete game and extending his streak of quality starts to seven - since the start of July, his ERA is 2.81. Giving up only eight walks in those 48 innings has definitely helped his game. Ballester has been a bit less consistent, though each of his three starts has resulted in two earned runs - just in anywhere from three to six innings of work. No-one on the current AZ roster has ever faced him, which past experience tends to suggest is not a good thing for our hitters...
Line-up
- Stephen Drew SS
- Alex Romero RF
- Gerardo Parra CF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Chris Snyder C
- Trent Oeltjen LF
- Josh Whitesell 1B
- Augie Ojeda 2B
- Jon Garland P
No Young in the line-up, for a second straight day - hey, Hinch could hardly drop The Thunder from Down Under after such a striking debut, could he? Not going to be about for the majority of this one, but hopefully it won't run too long: 12-inning games + a recap + 2:50 Bollywood movie doesn't quite fit into my evening...

And I can't watch the hot Aussie why?
Because I have to go to work. Boo on that people. Boo.
(Oh, I mean “Watch our boys play”, totally. Of course.)
While I am gone, and my husband is here allow you all to play the game of “How many times soco calls the team the Natinals.” I have been playing it alllll season. ;) Enjoy!

That it took me a moment of blinking confusion to realize you meant Trent rather than soco… haha.
Looks like I was just as well to miss the game, even though I admit to wanting to see Haren yell angrily at the ref. (It is the one angry yell I seriously CAN’T picture.)

DBACKKKSSS!!!
Let’s go for 6 in a row, and another game closer to .500!! Glad to see that Hinch is going with the lineup that (i) he feels, i’m assuming, will give him the best opportunity to win, I don’t care how much money Young is costing us sitting on the bench! Let’s go DBACKS!
So I'm doing a Hatchlings piece
And James Skelton has been in the minors since 2004. Ugh. Uncool, Mr. Skelton.

He wasn’t in the Scout.com Top 50 Arizona prospects list. I’ll cover him after I do the list because he clearly is of interest amongst all of you single (and married) women. Don’t blame me. And Skelton has never been in the majors – just major league Spring Training camp.

Is Gonzo in April of the year he hit 57. I think he had like 18 in one month or something.

Well,
what got me about Dunn was the fact that when he came over last season, he was so excited about playing for a contender in a playoff race, and he said that he wants to feel that feeling for the rest of his career.
….Then, he signed with the Nats.

Didn’t know about the soda thing. I guess it’s obvious I haven’t taken advantage of the free tacos!

It’s any drink, so a small drink and 3 tacos for $1 or so isn’t bad but it’s not like it’s gonna bankrupt T.B or anything.

It's a large drink
So it’s something like $1.80, so you’re saving about two bucks off their combo- I’m sure it works out in the end for Taco Bell.

Might be worth a shot. But when you’ve been DFA’d twice in a season…

Did you hear Eric Byrnes is writing a book?
It's going to be a pop-up book.
No he's not
Not this year.
Scientists have discovered that Jesus did live, and also walked upon water. Evidence is suggesting that Peter asked him he would do for a Klondike Bar.

Great
to see some fire from the boys, especially Dan Haren, but too bad we were on the short end of the stick.
I was watching at my local watering hole and Mark Grace in Closed Captions is hilarious!
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
Hey everyone
I thought I’d just drop in and say even though we lost, it was to a team doing well. Reynolds hit a homer and Hinch showed some fire. And we’re still beasting it up. Go… us.
had to leave for awhile.
Disappointing to see umpires decide the game. I’ll have to watch the replay again, but did the umpire make contact with hinch?? If so, i think that’s deserving of a fine. Just wait til he gives us bogus calls tomorrow with Haren pitching. Glad to see that ump took control of a rookie coach. Cool. haha.
Go get them tomorrow dbacks!
Definitely contact
but the ump was MUCH more emotional than AJ!

Tough loss
after jumping out 5-0 sucks to only score 1 more to their 7. We can still take the series though!!
