PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Colorado Rockies, Sep 6, 2009 3:10 PM EDT
|
|
After an off-day yesterday, the Diamondbacks return to the fray against the Rockies this afternoon. Ok, technically, it wasn't an off-day, but our offense appears to have missed that memo, as well as the general apathy towards the game shown by all of us in Arizona who didn't get to watch it. So we now find ourselves turning to the Petit Unit to avoid the sweep - the third time we've found ourselves saying that since July 29, after series against the Phillies and in Washington, and the results have been split 50/50.
Petit continues to be much better on the road (3.14 ERA) than at home (8.01), though I'm not sure Coors is the best place for any extreme fly-ball pitcher to be starting. However, his second-half HR rate is much improved, dropping from three per nine IP before the break, to a much-more respectable 1.09 after it. He'll need to maintain that kind of rate if he's to have any chance of winning this one. However, the hitters will have to do more than they have in the first couple of games - not just getting opportunities but driving them in, since they're hitting .062 with runners in scoring position this series.
Line-up
- Ryan Roberts, 2B
- Eric Byrnes, LF
- Justin Upton, RF
- Mark Reynolds, 3B
- Rusty Ryal, 1B
- Chris Young, CF
- John Hester, C
- Augie Ojeda, SS
- Yusmeiro Petit, P
The dbacksinsider Twitter feed appears to have dried up this morning, so I had to manually type the above. I hope you appreciate the sacrifices I make for you people... Byrnes gets his start in LF, but I do not look at the bottom half of our order and anticipate an all-you-can-eat buffet of runs here. Our guest recapper for this first Sunday of the month will be wailord, so we'll see what he can come up. Will be drifting in and out, got to write a review of Eagle Eye: in summary, crap, but undeniably glossy and expensive crap,

Wait
what’s up with that lineup? NO left-handed bats (except Ojeda)? Ryal at 1B? Against De La Rosa?
um, A.J., can you explain, please?
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Lefties are hitting .210/.262/.319 off of De La Rosa this season, while righties are hitting .276/.359/.471.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
My error
for some reason, I thought De La Rosa was right handed
"I know a place where life is a game, and Baseball's really real"
Well
It does claim that up at the top of the thread.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
While you're editing
Do you also want to get the line in the last paragraph where it says Byrnes is starting in CF today? =)
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
No, you must be mistaken
I recommend a dark room and some ice-packs. You’re clearly fevered and delusional.

"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
very nice. we needed more of that last night since this Colorado club can’t throw anyone out. hopefully it also means Byrnes is fully healthy.

And a stolen base for Byrnes
Followed by a walk to Mark.

Runners advance
On what I think will be a Tulowitzki double passed ball.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
And
Byrnes is trying to argue that he got interfered with by the Rockies third baseman.

Damn
I’m not sure Ryal went around there, but he’s called out anyway. He should be on first, he swung on at least two balls.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
second verse same as the first.
another wasted opportunity.

That's not a British thing
That’s the result of an earlier game where we got to the point where we had to make up words to describe how badly the team was playing, as I recall.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
it's a word I made up a few posts ago

If you're going to troll...
…at least say something funny. God, I’m embarrassed as a Rockies fans. All these pithy Purple Row turds taking hesitant potshots at obvious situations. They seriously remind me of Mort Goldman. Although Mort is a Jew and Rockies fans are only allowed to worship Christ.
Rockies fans aren’t allowed to talk about ineffective starting pitching is the overriding point. We’re just lucky we get to face the putrid offenses of the NL-West.

There's a poster here
on the edge of getting himself banned whose username is AZBOMBERS. He often brings up how stupid our fan base is.
And then he rants about how much he hates Justin Upton and Chris Young.
(Strangely, he also hates Barack Obama, Denzel Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr. Hmmmm…..)

"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
A little hyperbole
in that there is humor and insight here from time to time. But I did think ELGee’s first post was insightful, useful and very funny. It kinda raised me in my seat and I was more embarrassed by “our” responses than anything he said.
His second post…not so much, and I’m more with you guys as to where his tack is probably going.
In short, I’m not a fan of harsh profanity or cryptic gynecological references, but do like funny, contrarian thinkers.

I was confused by a new poster saying
“if you’re going to troll” and then saying he was embarrassed as a Rockies fan. And then the vagina reference further confused me.
In what way did you find his post insightful? I read it as a slap at the Rockies, which I found not applicable on this site.

by 4 Corners Fan on Sep 6, 2009 4:26 PM EDT up reply actions
I dont understand
your first sentence. Sorry.
I think the gynecological reference had something to do with this being a ‘wuss’ site in his mind. Depending on what he meant by that, I could agree or disagree. I thought his rambling criticism of RockiesMagicNumber was also insightful and funny – attributes I seldom find in the target’s contributions. I think that was one of ElGee’s points. He had so many, it was hard to keep track :-)

There are several criticisms here
and I think you’re rather conveniently glomming onto the lowest hanging fruit. Let’s move past the ‘obscenity’, ok, as I think we more or less agree on that point.
ELGee thinks you belabored an obvious point, without humor. I agree. You have a habit of starting these posts with “Dont mean to rub it in, but…” or something similar. I’m not necessarily questioning your sincerity, but just your tact and usefulness for now. This is a Diamondbacks site. We all know Petit gives up home runs, so this unpleasant ‘insight’ of yours takes on the character of a superfluous comment. You know, rubbing it in. Even if that wasnt your intention.
I dont know you from a hole in the wall, but from your comments here and the last few nights, I’m impressed with neither your “analysis” nor style, whether it’s the provincial Barmes-Chris Young comparison, the asinine “Lincecum is irresponsible” riff, or today’s self-serving rhetorical flourishes on behalf of sbn.
cheers

But seriously, what massive insight would you like to see?
Should I talk about Mark Reynolds being awesome? Justin Upton having tools? What exactly would you want?
My intent was never humor, and Wailord and I were just having a conversation. Not every post made on the internet needs to be hilarious, and I never came here with the intent to impress you. I don’t see you adding much to the discussion either, just being a nitpicking old lady.
I happen to enjoy the community here, so I’ll come in and post sometimes. But because I’m not a regular poster, I know that a lot of people won’t take me sharing a frustration with the site as such, but rather me coming in just to spit on a grave. Am I pleased that the Rockies are kicking your team’s teeth in right now? Abso-freaking-lutely! But I want to hear more about the Dbacks in a well-informed manner, and I’m not gonna get that at PR without just doing the work myself (which I’m not against doing) so I come here and don’t lead off by talking trash so that people might actually share information with me and not just view me as a trash poster.
I’m not here to trash talk, I’m here to hear about another baseball team. If I came in and said “Hm let’s see our CF is better than your CF, as well as our 1B, SS, LF, and most of our pitchers and our bullpen too” do you think anyone would be willing to talk seriously about the Dbacks with me? Of course not, I’d rather come in with a bit of an olive branch extended, make some bland commentary, and kind of ease my way in. I’d argue most of the posters have appreciated it.
Maybe you’re just a jerk.

I just don't appreciate being called a bad troll
when I was not intending to troll.
I’m sure that obscene, hilarious commentary is appreciated some places, but to call Purple Row a namby pamby sissy website because we prefer clean, intelligent discourse is just insulting. We run a tight ship, and so do you guys over here, and it’s paid off for both sites by giving us both front office attention.
I don’t understand what his point is. Since when does obscenity equate to good posting and good commentary? Purple Row and the ‘Pit both do good jobs of reporting and analyzing the moves of their respective teams. We do better reporting on our respective teams than a lot of “edgier” blogs do, and we’re more respected as a result.
The part that is just baffling me is that this person is embarrassed as a Rockies fan because we don’t swear and act all obscene? It just baffles me.

He just has no idea where it’s going. He’s been through a whole bunch of organizations who have tried to harness it. Failure is the result, but little harm in us giving it a shot – low risk, high-reward.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Stuff, yes.
Control, no.
And no, Daniel Cabrera was NEVER a PTBNL. He was outright released by the Natinals, then he threw for Dbacks scouts in the Dominican, and we signed him to a minor league contract.

Good arm
Good price
Why not?
Makes sense to me.
There are mechanical things that a pitching coach can work with, and I actually have some confidence in T. Stottlemeyer, so who knows?
Issue I see from Cabrera
besides the fact that he walks and hits everyone and the only strikes he seems to be able to throw are In Play, no out, it’s the steady decline of his numbers.
His K9 has dropped steadily, his BB9 has grown, and he’s definitely lost a lot on his fastball. He looks like he’s just a headcase that needs all kinds of sports therapy before he can even find the zone again.
That said, can he bat? Rick Ankiel 2.0?

Leave it
to a member of the Jessup clan to find the good in every situation.

Seriously
if this is the beginning of the end of Chris Young’s season long slump, and it was really an anomaly, I would be more optimistic about next season.
Well, we'll see
He had a game on June 18th where he had four hits…
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Only one
He released a CD that made it to #2 on the pop charts.
Wait, what?

I think he was 3-for-8 since coming back a few days ago

3-8 in the series
1-17 before it.
Warning: the above represents the thoughts and opinions of a 15-year-old.
Er...
That’d be 4-for-25 before today. Now it’s a much more respectable 7-for-28.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
As far as CY is concerned,
I’m optimistic about next season, if for no other reason than the simple fact that it can’t be any worse than this season.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

18 walks betwen the two teams today
Weird, given how quick yesterday’s game was.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
As I pointed out,
this ump called 6 walks while Doug Davis was pitching, the last time he was behind the plate for a Dbacks game.

Cabrera
Not quite the worst outing in team history by a reliever, but only beaten once – Matt Mantei had an 0 IP, 6 ER outing in 2000 – also against the Rockies in Coors.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
I see why Boston dumped him
ERAs of 118 and 113 within a month.

Wow
Someone actually has the time to go through and compile statistics like that? That would be really depressing for the pitcher as he sits back in his rocking chair, quietly enjoying the fire, and the grand kids asked, “So gramps, how did you do in the majors?”
There's a nice little thing
called “Programming” that makes all this compilation automatic.
You don’t think they sit there with their abacuses, do you? ;)

Here we go
for the amazing comeback.
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.
MARK!!
#41!
CY WILL GET A CHANCE!

Good for Mark
He’s been struggling lately. If he gets hot again, he can rack up a lot of HRs very quickly (as if you didn’t know that).
Yeah....
Mark is streaky like WHOA.

Are the fans
cheering for CY?
No, I guess it’s because it’s the 9th inning w/ 2 outs, but still.

CY smiling :)
He’s trying, everybody knows it.

Nice to see
him having a good time.
If the FO is the focus of anything, something is seriously wrong with the picture ! - unnamedDBacksfan 2/20/09
It is.
He’s looked soo frustrated lately, especially after returning from Reno.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
People have remarked most of the year
how CY looks as if he might almost cry up there. And today we saw “the opposite” – cracking big smiles throughout the Ab in the ninth. I’m not sure either bodes particularly well for his career prospects, but my previous remark was meant on a more personal level.
He seems like a nice, sensitive young man, and I just dont like to see nice people suffer.

On a personal level, he is a really nice guy
Whenever I’ve asked him to sign, he’s always been really nice about it. And I can’t say that about all the Dbacks. (::cough::stevefinley::sneeze::)
It’s nice to see somebody who’s struggled have a good day, on a personal and professional level. Let’s hope it continues!

Well,
I was talking on a personal level, too.
A few one-post wonders have come to the Snakepit and talked about how they demand to see more emotion from Chris Young. Apparently, they’re not paying attention to the video feeds of the Dbacks games, since CY’s been taking it out on his equipment all season after crappy ABs.

CY
Lines it… foul. Is that good?
Warning: the above represents the thoughts and opinions of a 15-year-old.
CY...
Fouls it off. Just wanting his pitch…
Warning: the above represents the thoughts and opinions of a 15-year-old.
And CY
runs the count full. Awesome.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
And CY...
Takes ball 3. Full count. If he walks… lame. Watch him get his pitch.
Warning: the above represents the thoughts and opinions of a 15-year-old.
BOOO.
Herges walks CY. There’s a smattering of boos in the crowd, too.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Here it is
CY… gets walked. Lame. However, we can say he went 3-3 with 3HR and two walks.

nost respectable game
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.

Hmmm....
is it a coincidence that AZBOMBERS gets banned this morning, and CY goes 3-3 w/ 3 HRs?
Maybe AZBOMBERS was bad juju.

I'd go for that.

Me too
So who should we ban to get Mark to improve?

I guess somebody
who hates Reynolds. The best witchcraft is consistent witchcraft.

Well,
I’m straight out, then.

Although, somehow,
my Reynoldslove and “straight” has never been mentioned in the same instance….

damn
i had a funnier comeback that you just RUINED with this…this…SPEED of yours!

What was it?
If you’re bringing the funnies, I hope you’ve brought enough for the rest of the class…

It's not funny now
Speed kills…that’s all I can say :-)

C'mon, 'Hacks.
You can’t just say, “OH I TOTALLY HAD A FUNNIER RESPONSE but u ruined it!!!!!!!!!!!!!” and then not tell us what you were going to say.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
13 runs
is quite a pitching glitch.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
D'oh
And Hester Ks swinging to end it.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Well, that was fun...
Can’t really blame the offense, though 1-for-8 with RISP again… Nope, this one might just be on the 13 ER allowed, I suspect.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
And really
Any time you allow more runs than hits…
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Hmmm....
something tells me that might have contributed to the loss.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Not giving up runs?
Yeah. I’d recommend that any pitcher who’d like to improve his craft try to work on not giving up runs.
;-)
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
I'm really enjoying
the new consensus here on the board. Yes, helping pitchers to become sensitive to the subtle issue of not giving up runs has really brought people together.
Hmmm....
perhaps this could be Jim’s next feature piece: “statistical analysis of pitchers who don’t give up runs”
