Gameday Thread: 3/31 vs. Rockies

PrintThe final game in Tucson, a last hurrah for both the Rockies and the Diamondbacks before joining everyone else in the valley next season. It'll also be the first chance for us to see Kris Benson - another contender for the back-end of the rotation - in action.
The game's on Fox Sports Arizona, and in a new feature, FSAZ will be having a live chat session during the game, hosted by Jack Magruder [formally of the Tribune, now writing for FoxSportsArizona.com] and new analyst Joe Borowsk. I'll be popping in there to pick their brains about things like the remaining roster spots and the relevance of spring training numbers.
Lineups, etc. after the jump.
- Conor Jackson LF
- Stephen Drew SS
- Justin Upton RF
- Adam LaRoche 1B
- Chris Young CF
- Kelly Johnson 2B
- Chris Snyder C
- Augie Ojeda 3B
- Kris Benson RHP
Jackson again taking the lead-off spot, and it looks more like this is going to be the approach AJ Hinch will take during the regular season. Said Jackson, "Especially in the National League I think you want a guy who can have a good at-bat with two outs and the runner on second, which the leadoff guy faces a lot when you are bunting over a guy." CoJack's solid on-base skills - his career numbers are the best among the regular line-up - are also a factor. "If we had a Rafael Furcal or a Jimmy Rollins, this wouldn’t be an issue," added Conor. "But for the betterment of the team, it makes sense. For this team, I have a skill set that is going to hopefully help me get on base and let the 3-4-5 guys drive me in." Here's to that happening a lot...

CoJack at lead off?
Sounds solid to me, we’ve been calling for it for a couple years now…

I'm happy with it as well

Shows the difference
between Hinch and Melvin, I think. Batting CY leadoff? Oldskool. Batting CoJack leadoff? Newskool.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
I was going to say
What exactly are we supposed to be peeling? :-) I think we should position her in the middle of the batter’s eye. In a bikini…

Much like
I think we should have signed Jennie Finch instead of Casey Daigle. Except Finch actually can play a sport.
Though Casey Daigle is fun to say.
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
Speaking of Jenny Finch
I had lunch with her once in high school. My english teacher was one of her teammates in college.
Is she gorgeous?
Or, no, can she bat?

Baaaaaaaasebaaaaaaallllll!
Had it on MLB for about thirty seconds before the blackout kicked in and I had to flip over to FSN AZ.
Split broadcast with FSN Rocky Mountain, I guess? Cool.

Interesting.
I’m getting both FSNAZ and FSNRM. Usually FSNAZ is blocked for me when the Dbacks play the Orcs.

Leadoff walk for CoJack
Just what we’re looking for there.
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
I am seriously wondering
If Parra is who we want as the fourth outfielder. Is it a lefty pitching for the Rockies?
"We defy augury" -- Hamlet
Doesn't seem likely to me
Not unless Drew really bombs in April.

And May and June

Abreu vs Drew
I could see that happening actually

by Rockkstarr12 on Mar 31, 2010 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think so.
I’ve been a big Abreu supporter since he was on the Dodgers, and was hoping he’d win the 2B job, but I don’t think the team considers him an everyday SS. But they are happy that he can do a passable job there if needed.
I see their point
“A left-handed power bat between Upton and Reynolds.” Didn’t really have one of those last year.

Long double for Smith
I wasn’t sure if CY was going to be able to get that one. Runner can’t score, though, so Rockies have runners are second and third with one out and Giambi up.
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
There are players I just don’t like in baseball, and Giambi ranks high on that list.

I don't know much about Texeira

I think so
I recall a couple of DBacks games being pre-empted by Suns games last year. That’s how I ended up on the FSN AZ Twitter feed in their ad.
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
Wow.
I had totally forgotten that! If I’d remembered you being on that ad, I could have answered my own question.

Pop up around home plate
Landed just out of the catcher’s reach, in fair territory, but for some reason CY just stood at home until they picked up the ball and threw him out.

Two hands!
At least we know what Zephon’s jersey should say.
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
Aaaaand
A ball bounces off Upton’s glove, so the Rockies have a runner at third with two outs.
The announcers say it was probably due to the wind.
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
Ooops
J Up misses the ball and Barmes goes to third. I disagree that it was the wind. He was close and just misjudged it. IMHO.

I came up with...
A drinking game last season devoted/dedicated to Mark Grace
Every time Gracey says “GAS!” or “He’s throwing gas!” everyone has to take a drink/shot…can you imagine how blitzed people would be by the end of a game?
I told Daron Sutton my idea at a game after that and he laughed. He said he will have to tell Mark about it. Said Mark would laugh at this

Well Parra down sounds alot more ominous than "Parra strikes out"

Depends
Do you mean score-wise, or a moral victory?
‘Cause no to one, and it’s probably a draw on the other.

In the 8th inning?
Only if you really want to listen to Sutton and Grace…

Man
Looked like a double there. And Upton seems to be using that “oops, I didn’t mean to swing but I just launched that to the track” type of swing Reynolds has.

That's got to be one of the fastest Spring innings ever...

I don't think so
We went to baseball games, but he’s not exactly in athletic form.

Leadoff walk
Wow, Abreu’s first walk of the spring?
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
Someone said "Your whole career depends on this AB"
to Snyder. LOL.

Woah
Pitch up towards Snyder’s head- obviously, this guy hasn’t talked to Cliff Lee.
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
It would be funny
I imagine it like the Pedro Martinez-Don Zimmer fight, except Snyder wouldn’t be taking on a senior citizen.

Ha
“Way to hustle, seven… something. What is that number?”

Is that Wes we are hearing?

I don't think they're that close to the mics :)
But that’d be funny if it was.

It didn't sound like any of the 'Pitters I recognize there
But I could be wrong.
"Now we can just call you Kishi Laptop, Esquire."
We yelled "WHO ARE YOU #99?"
to a Rockies player (turns out his name is Eldred) because the kid in front of us couldn’t find him in the program, even in the non-roster invitees section.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
And because
he had just made a ridiculous catch (Jeff Bailey line drive)

Was it Bailey?
I was thinking it was Parra.

I’m pretty sure that’s “unanimous” doesn’t mean what you think it does.

Last year during a cubs game me and a couple of guys...
Heckled the living hell out of milton bradley we got a reaction out of him at one point.
Heckling
Last year when the Pirates were here, my friends and I and these two guys in front of us were heckling Brandon Moss and we really pissed him off…enough that my other guy, Jeff Salazar, was put out there the next inning. Of course I had a sign I made that said WE WANT SALAZAR…BYE BYE MOSS! Jeff saw the sign, smiled, and gave me a huge thumbs up :)

And 4-3
Thanks to a Rockies error- Bailey’s at first as the tying run.

Wouldn't a walk-off win be sweet?

An excellent movie
Its irony enhanced by the years – did you know, the actress who says “Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast” died of a brain tumor?

heilman throws last inning in tucson
Heilman did get to pitch a scoreless inning in the last spring training game held in Tucson. In 1996, baseball in Tucson changed forever. A County supervisor, now a US congressman, made back deals and hand shake agreements to put a triple aaa stadium in a part of town that wasn’t so friendly. Two teams started training there, along with the Rockies at Hi Corbett field. Everything was okay until the fans stopped coming. Why worry about your cars being broken into or the inconvenience of the location of the main park. The Triple AAA team packed their bags to Reno after the 07 season. The White Sox left last year and this year, the Rockies and Diamondbacks leave as well. Real sad. Baseball died in Tucson today after 64 years of Spring Training baseball.
Yup.
Freakin’ Grijalva.

memories
They had a deal for a stadium with a great location. Would’ve made the commute to Phoenix only an hour too. It’s sad. at Hi Corbett, “Major League” was filmed there. douche bag Canseco played there. Mike Hampton wondered how the schools were in Colorado as he played there. Billy Wagner started and dominated there.

Marana?
Not quite an hour, but certainly less than the current commute.
If they’d been smart, they would’ve put the stadium downtown and integrated it with Rio Nuevo. Would’ve done a lot for development, and would have helped renew downtown Tucson.

other memories
a favorite Hi Corbett memory was having Shawon Dunston in Left field. Bonds was suppose to be there but skipped out on the trip so Shawon played there.

I'll always remember Hi Corbett
because every summer, my brother and sister and I would do the public library summer reading program, and when we completed it, we got to go to a Toros game for free.

I had forgotten about that
but I think I did that too. You had to have a certain amount of reading points right?
Nice strikeout!
I did that
but with Dbacks games.
Oh, to grow up in Maricopa County :-P
