PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Arizona Diamondbacks, Sep 12, 2009 8:10 PM EDT
|
|
Our ninth starter of the season takes the mound tonight, in the Diamondbacks' rotational debut of Kevin Mulvey, who essentially came to us as the player to be named later in the Jon Rauch trade. Said AJ Hinch, "I'm excited to see him. We traded for him for a reason. He's going to get a real opportunity here to break through and compete for a rotation spot. He doesn't have to set the world on fire, he doesn't have to be perfect, but we do want him to take these starts as the first steps in competing for a spot next year." The starter's spot would appear to be that occupied by Yusmeiro Petit, for this season at least, but it's as much an audition for 2010 as anything.
Hinch added, "He's got four pitches that are average or better. He's a pretty good athlete on the mound, he attacks it and it will be good to see him for a home start against Milwaukee. I'm sure his adrenaline will be pumping." Not much of a track-record in the majors to go on for the Mulvinator. 4.1 innings of work in total, to be exact, for the 24-year old. The minor numbers aren't bad, a 3.93 ERA in 24 starts for Triple-A Rochester, with a K:BB ratio a little bit better than 2:1 and an almost even split between ground- and fly-balls.
Bush got a no-decision when he faced Arizona in the Milwaukee end of the series, allowing three runs of work in seven innings - we lost 4-3, though that game will be most remembered as the ignominious end of Tom Gordon's time with the Diamondbacks. However, he has been notably less effective away from Milwaukee: his ERA on the roa is all the way up at 7.74 in nine starts. Arizona will need to take advantage of that - oh, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record [younger readers should Google that...], get some hits with runners in scoring position. In the last eight games, Arizona have averaged less than one RISP hit per game, going 6-for-57.
Line-up
- Stephen Drew SS .258
- Gerardo Parra LF .294
- Justin Upton RF .305
- Mark Reynolds 3B .275
- Miguel Montero C .304
- Chris Young CF .199
- Brandon Allen 1B .224
- Augie Ojeda 2B .237
- Kevin Mulvey P .000
Enjoy this one - think it's the last Saturday game on TV of the season, if I hear right. [Edited: Nope, not on TV for Arizona folks. Sorry!] Should be about for most of this one, keen to see what Mulvey is like. Hopefully, he'll be good decent better than Petit. And a quick reminder to Sprankton, that you're scheduled to recap the game tomorrow. Let us know if that's a problem

let's get a win here
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.

if you played USC, for example, against the Detroit Lions, I think you’d have a pretty good competition.

Since we’re looking at whether Mulvey can help us long term, I’d like him to show us some repeatable skills.

well you gotta remember that just because it's fsaz
it’s tied to the fox family and they have a pac 10 contract. Now why they chose to show what they show and when is open for debate, but that’s part of the reason why so many people hate the fox channels. Arizona finally got the shadft this year when the fox family of networks decided that arizona was mostly just Phoenix anyway when it came to sports and started to edge out those broadcasts that it felt were no longer profitable… now the U of A is hving to start up it’s own network to bring the games to the fans….

There's a difference between average

I'm pretty sure
Even Grace and Sutton have given up.
And that’s though they’re not actually commentating today.

Maybe throw in
That one “Brett Anderson” fellow. Make it a three-team trade?

Hey, Jim
But I’ve heard there are…y’know, soccer sites on the SB Nation network…

Hey, don't blame me
I have the game on as well
but was distracted by soccer news.

DIAMONDBACKS use KEVIN MULVEY!
It’s not very effective…

Ahaha
someone needs to make a RPG for the Diamondbacks.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
Somewhere
I have brief notes I made about running a D&D campaign based on the Snakepit.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
I think I'd only sketched out class levels for Jim
Most of it was about rumors of war with the Kingdom of Galab to the west.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Hard to say
I think ’charmer was the only one able to see the game. Results not good though.

And I tuned in
when it was already 3-0 and I honestly didn’t pay that much attention. :(
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco

a lot of soft stuff
loved the 2 seamer that broke in on RHers. Could be a bottom of the rotation guy with a bit more control and just a better night.
Thanks
Appreciate the info.

I've been
to UA games before, and I’ve been to a Redskins game, and even I’m impressed by that.

Well
the first isn’t really that impressive.

True.
Bear Down Stadium only holds like 65k people.

Random thought.
Where the hell did “Bear Down Arizona” come from?
It’d make sense (maybe) if the mascot was some kind of bear. But it’s NOT.

If you insist.
Still seems odd. :-)

Better than ASUcks!
jk I just said that because I took a little gander at your info page and saw if full of aswho information!

aswho?
Why don’t you do us all a favor and go play in traffic.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
Also,
when did Gary Glitter become a chomo? And why was I not informed?
Posting 65 comments/day since June '07.
Why...
why would you need to be informed about this?
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
Well,
it would be useful to know these things, if for no other reason than the fact that I might someday produce offspring.

Jeez
Years ago. We always look aghast at each other when they play “Rock and Roll” at sports events, and wonder what that royalty check will be spent on.

You're only twelve years late
Per Wikipedia, “In November 1997 Glitter was arrested after child pornography images were discovered on the hard drive of a Toshiba laptop that he had taken to the Bristol Cribbs Causeway branch of PC World for repair.”

Ohio State
looks to be pulling a classic Ohio State meltdown.

But Pete Carroll
always has such nice things to say about you?

And USC
rushes for a TD to take the lead! 16-15, going for a 2 pt conversion with 1:05 left in the 4th quarter.

One thing
I seem to be noticing more and more is how football games resemble the NBA: you go almost the entire game close and then one team suddenly drives down completely unchallenged.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
Yeah...
Pretty dominating drive for USC. lol

Did the Giants forget they were battling for the Wild card?
That race looks just about over. I hate the Dodgers as much as USC.. Hopin the rockies can pull out the division. Dodgers putting another beat down on SF, while Colorado down by two to SD.
