PrintArizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants, Sep 29, 2009 10:15 PM EDT
|
|
Games until the blessed, merciful end of the season: 6.
Before I forget, a minor point of amusement I noted from the opener of today's double-header between the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins. Both pitchers involved in the decision had ended last year playing for the Diamondbacks: Jon Rauch took the win for Minnesota, while Brandon Lyon gave up two runs in the tenth, not helped by a couple of wild pitches, and took the loss. Just wanted to mention that. Oh, and if you're looking for something to do on Thursday night, why not try the Charles Band Full Moon Horror Roadshow - see here for more details and to buy tickets. After the jump, I'll talk about the current Diamondbacks...
The last week of the season gets under way for Arizona, with a road-trip that starts in San Francisco for three games, before we finish the season in Chicago. The Giants faded from the wild-card race thanks to losing seven of their last eleven games, and are now basically playing out the season: not yet mathematically eliminated, but defeat at our hands tonight could bring that to pass, if the Rockies win too. Still, already with eleven more wins than last year, this would probably have to be counted as a successful year, with their starting pitching in particular developing very nicely. They have four starters with an ERA+ above 100, and a very solid bullpen. If only they'd spent the money that went to RJ on the offense, which ended up as the league-worst.
We face Jonathan 'not him again' Sanchez for the fifth time this season; he's done a very solid job of keeping Arizona in check, posting a 2.19 ERA in 24.2 innings of work again us. He took the win last Wednesday at Chase, going up against Kevin Mulvey, but Doug Davis might be a tougher opponent. Or he might not: familiarity seems to have helped the Giants, who will be seeing Davis for the sixth time in 2009: they have hit pretty well since he shut them out for eight innings on April 19, and overall have a 4.64 ERA in 33 innings. He did win last Tuesday, albeit mostly because we'd scored nine runs in support of Davis by the end of the third.
Line-up
- Chris Young CF
- Stephen Drew SS
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Miguel Montero C
- Ryan Roberts LF
- Rusty Ryal 1B
- Augie Ojeda 2B
- Doug Davis P
Should be about for most of this, though I've got a bunch of movie reviews to write. Took advantage of the off-day yesterday and slothed out in front of back-to-back-to-back movies in the living-room - don't think we've done that all baseball season, but it's a good warmup for what we'll be doing after Sunday! However, will likely be in the office with the TV on in the living-room, so expect the occasional comment as the game progresses. Here's to a good - maybe even winning? - road-trip, to give us some cause for optimism in 2009. 70 wins looks a lot better than 69...

Do you like this story?

Yeah
I’m going to be in an out. Gots a massively non-focused report on bankruptcy to continue banging away at. If anyone wants to tag in, it will be greatly appreciated.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
Let's finish up the season with a bunch of wins.
That will give us a good boost going in to 2010.
(Do we say “Twenty-ten” or “Two thousand ten”?)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay
I’m not the only one here!
I’m probably just going to say 20-10. Most of the Teens are probably going to be 20-[teen] to me, it’s just easier to say.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
Twenty ten for sure
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.
Twenty-ten is tight,
because technically, we should be saying Two thousand ten.

Chapter 7 is liquidation and Chapter 11 is reorganization and Chapter 13 is repayment and Chapter 12 is apparently for fishermen and maybe farmers but who cares about them really but then in 2005 it was all reformed so now if you’re over the median income for your state you’re presumed abusive and can’t liquidate and can only file for Chapter 13 and oh g-d what is happening to my miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind

Well
that would help the first part, but after summarizing bankruptcy, then we have to use that to analyze the GM reorganization. It’s not a hard subject, but the sheer amount of information is daunting, especially given the length the professor wants (less than 10 pages). Someone could write a book on the subject.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
You have to cover all that in 10 pages?
Geez, and I was fretting about writing a 190 page report, which is due by next Monday.
Yeah
I don’t know what it is about the past two semesters, but I keep getting assignments that are ridiculously large in scope. During the summer I had to describe the galactic level physics of two colliding galaxies with a photograph, but had to do it in 8 pages. What. The. Hell.

I didn't know him too well
but the worst part (in my eyes) is that he did so poorly last week (watched a few flyballs drop at his feet in left) that everyone was telling the coach (his best friend) to yank him out and put me in. Luckily, it never happened… then I wouldn’t feel too great.

You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
I don't
mean to say that as you’re wrong, but I think I’m going to need more than a sentence to see it. I guess I get the basic point that change is inherently bad to baseball, but is it really? And is replay, a rule that arguably makes the game “purer” really equivalent to designated hitters or wild cards or interleague play or banned-spitballs?
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
Can't happen, and I'll tell you why
Football is all about starts and stops. Baseball goes on between pitches. A pitcher on the mound is wound up tight, is warm, and needs to keep pitching to maintain both their heightened physiology, and their mental sharpness. When there is a big break in the play, it actually favors the hitting team. So, while the umpires are checking films and phoning New York and whatever, the players in the field are losing their edge and sharpness. These breaks interrupt the game and will become, at some point, a tactical tool on the part of a sharp manager. I don’t like it.

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.
