Gameday Thread, #88: 7/10 vs. Marlins
Miami Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 10, 2010 8:10 PM EDT
|
|
By one measure, there's only been one "unluckier" starting pitcher in the majors than Ian Kennedy, as far as W-L record goes. Ian has the second-best ERA+ of any qualifying pitcher with a Win Percentage below .375: he sits at 108, surpassed only by Ted Lilly, who is 3-8 with an ERA+ of 109. It's mostly been a lack of offense - in those seven losses, the Diamondbacks scored a total of only nineteen runs in support of Kennedy. Indeed, in his seventeen starts, the team has gone past five runs only three times. In the five Ian starts since the last time that happened, on June 14, Arizona have scored 13 runs, and he has gone 0-4. Time for the bats to help out.
Line-up and totally tubular 80's details after the jump.
- Stephen Drew SS
- Tony Abreu 2B
- Justin Upton RF
- Chris Young CF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Rusty Ryal 1B
- Chris Snyder C
- Cole Gillespie LF
- Ian Kennedy RHP
Rev up the Benny Hill theme - a left-hander on the mound for the opposition, means we get to see the same trio of infielders who combined to commit six errors in a game last weekend. Can't wait. Meanwhile, Chris Young - who, in case you missed it, will be appear in the 2010 Home-Run Derby at the All-Star game (the second D-back to do so, after Gonzo) - gets to start in the clean-up spot tonight, for only the second time in his career, the other being back in September 2007.
A little confused by 'charmer referring to a 4:30 start in last night's recap - from what I can see, it's the usual 5:10 pm Saturday start time. Still, I'll get this up a bit early, just to be sure... It's my last recap until after the All-Star break. I'll be rocking out with some classic 80's tunes on my Walkman iPod, and will lob the name of whatever's playing into the Gameday Thread for discussion. The comments on yesterday's recap included some fab 80's pictures of SnakePitters - the one at the top is my college graduation pic - so look forward to seeing some more, as we celebrate 80's Night at Chase Field.

as "extended snakepit family" (thanks, kishi!)
I guess I have a right to force pictures upon you guys? So this is me in 1989, when I was a whole three years old, haha. And no, it wasn’t anywhere near Halloween. I guess I was just a nerd?

JENNA
You are seriously too cute. OMG. The dress, and the HAIR. YOUR HAIR IS SO CUTE. And it’s your smile! on a super baby version of you. <3
Seriously.
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
That's okay
If you can see my hair is a pretty dishwater blonde with epically cute curls below. My mom gave me a Princess Valiant and now it is straight, brown, and horrible. I still resent her for it.
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
Whenever my friends seen pictures
from when I was little. They couldn’t believe that I have curly hair. Yes, my hair was (and still is) curly. I just blow dry and straighten my hair like all the time.
Try Salsa on pancakes. Seriously. It's yummy.
i guess if the rules are relaxed?
just on the edge of 1989/1990 – playing pretty pretty princess. favorite game ever.

Hi Jenna :)
Great picture! Love the costume :)

HERE!
Me, 1986. ;)
Now I know we get a one pic limit, but as soco is at work and I think I MIGHT be able to find one of him hugging a frog, can I get two pic rights for tonight?
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
You make a fine point
Sad part is that was the photo places frog and he thought he got to keep it. He was so bummed they took back his friend. ;)
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
LOOK AT HIS EARS
If our kids get those I will constantly be hugging them, cause it’s just too cute to handle.
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
It's pre-jackass.
Maybe the frog stealing incident incited his jerkness, we’ll never know.
(And to soco who will be reading this later and no doubt give me flack, SHUP, you know I love you.)
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
I think for 80's pics of people
We can be a bit more flexible tonight…

I lost touch with Jessica. My own fault too. She would write letters, but I would be to lazy to write back. I really wonder what happened to her. I have looked for her on FB.
Nice strikeout!
Yeaaahhh, I do worry about seeming like a stalker if I add her lol.
To bad it didn’t exist then.
I had an ex from hs that added me randomly a year or so ago. It was only recently I decided to say hi, she deleted me. Uh, why did you add me, then?

Kids are just plain cute
I can’t handle it. ;)
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
You should seen
a picture of Phil when he was little. Ohmigosh, he was so so so cute. I fell in love right away.
Try Salsa on pancakes. Seriously. It's yummy.
Hehe
My first visit to Timm’s mom she busted out the baby books. Timm was all adorable smiles and cuteness, but when he hit like six he turned into mini-Timm. Like, picture him now only shorter and I swear to you it’s him. It’s SO FREAKING cute but weird. We were dating like 8 months and all I could think was, “Um, BABIES.”
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
Hehe
When I was at Phil’s parents’ house for his sister’s birthday dinner. I saw a few pictures of him from when he was little on the refrigerator. I was like, “Awwe. That was Phil?” His mom was like, “Yeah. Here’s Phil at the prom. Here’s the one from when we were in Rome.” and so so.
Phil was so cute. Like geeky cute. :)
Try Salsa on pancakes. Seriously. It's yummy.
One last one
Just cause this was possibly the last time I ever looked so frilly and girly.
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
I'm in the center, by the way.
Brother J is on the left, sister Rachel is on the right.
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
For some reason, I thought you were in the center too. Even though I have only seen you in person like three times.
Nice strikeout!
It's cause my sister has the devil in her eyes
And my brother is a boy.
I, on the other hand, am a perfect angel. ;)
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
Technically we're friends
By heart she is my sister. You know, the one I don’t want to kill half the time. ;)
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
You're the BOARD's cousin
You’re MY sister.
Du’uh.
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
but
devin’s like my older brother, so i can’t be cousins with him, either. but i guess the rest of the board, okay. i see you didn’t give them a vote, which they will surely be wishing they had here in like, a week or so ;)
Seattle :)
but like hell i’m going to like the mariners. so i adopted the red sox when i was um, 13 or so?
Ohmygosh I have a picture just like this somewhere!
Me with my 3 cousins in this same type of pose.

My mom had a strict no-pregnancy photo policy
That I will be employing.

The plight of the youngest
Parents are SO EXCITED about the first that the last is like, ‘Oh yeah. Another one of them. Where do you put this one?’
My baby book, no joke, says “Elizabeth Michele was born.” No date, no weight, no nothing. Not even a picture afterwards.
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
...well...
That would make sense if I was the youngest ;)

Opposite in my family. I was the experiment. Whatever didn’t work with me, mom did different with my brother. He has a decorative plate with his birth date, height and weight on it. Where is mine?
That said, I have pics of my baptism and he doesn’t.
Nice strikeout!
If you must know I was first and by the time my brother came around
my mom was nearing the end of the relationship with my asshole father. I am not even sure he WAS baptized.
Nice strikeout!
He was commenting on your syntax
not on your family.

Kennedy not really looking to sharp. base hit and a walk. two on, two out.
erm… got out of it with a strikeout.
Nice strikeout!
Haha, I know
I thought about that when I mentioned the pictures thing… then figured, if we’re losing, at least it’s a good reason to read the GDT.

Since I started the 80s a little late (sorry, Mom, but I haven’t been on time since) I figure it’s fitting to be late to the game, too.
How’s everyone this evening?
So long, ol' Muppet arms.
What?
You were born very early in the 80s. And the on time thing, Thanks, Grandmother. It’s a family trait handed down for generation.
And you can think me for not posting any pics of you from the 80s. Only because I don’t know how.

Funny story
I thought my nickname was Lizard till I was like 15 and my mom wrote it on a card and I was like, “What’s Lizzer?”
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
Yup! More than once
I have over sensitive hearing, haha. ;)
But for some reason I assumed? I mean, Lizzer plus my mom’s midwest accent? I was doomed!
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
I think my mom has over sensitive hearing. I remmeber a few years ago, I was walking into the living room to get to the kitchen and put my glass in the sink. I set it down, my mom jumps up from the sofa, “WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO LOUD? YOU WOKE ME UP!” I was like, “well, if that is normal hearing, then I am glad I don’t have normal hearing.”
Nice strikeout!

He should be a mid
He did well, and he obviously has the yips. Seriously.
"I gave them my heart and they gave me a horrible bullpen."
Qualls should be selling me over priced beers
at the park. Not actually in a uniform or even on/near the field. And how he doesnt get tazed by security when he just runs onto the mound/interupts the game. Can we drug test the umps they are obviously on some shrooms when they toss Qualls the ball.

Seriouslty
Weren’t you telling us in March and April that Heilman shouldn’t close, he should be a starter? He hasn’t pitched well enough recently to show he should be on the mound in the ninth.
So long, ol' Muppet arms.
he shouldn't close
like every role heils has had since 2004; it has been forced upon him
by brian custer on Jul 10, 2010 11:56 PM EDT up reply actions
So
Let’s just recap your points again:
-Heilman isn’t closer because Gibson hates him.
-Heilman shouldn’t be closer.
-Why isn’t Heilman closer?
So long, ol' Muppet arms.
if heilman is the best we have to close
then he should close; but gibby hates aaron so gibby will not let him close. gibby will pick qualls over aaron because of pers prejudice
by brian custer on Jul 11, 2010 12:08 AM EDT up reply actions
but is aaron the best
dback’s closer? that is not saying much, but it may be true… so gibby should go with aaron. but they hate each other
by brian custer on Jul 11, 2010 12:14 AM EDT up reply actions
I don't think he is
The fact he’s converted less than half of his save opportunities tends to agree.
So long, ol' Muppet arms.
so you want qualls back as closer?
ok then you are in gibby’s camp. no problem here. i never wanted to see heils a closer. to me he is astarter..
