Sorry, no time to do anything more,. and the recap isn't going to be pretty either. In fact, I think we should make it a communal recap. I'll post the basic info, fangraph, etc. and do a comment thread for each inning. You can then tell me what you thought of the game, by replying to the appropriate comment...

Nice strikeout!
really?
he’s a pretty competent fielder, some of our other guys…not so much
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
Competent, sure.
1.4 RAR this year in fielding, but the -6.4 RAR (or, 6.4 RBR?) is pretty shocking. He’s -0.3 WAR (0.3 WBR) so far this seeason.
Mr. Science Boy
no....
I want to not have to reference it as the only way to evaluate whether a player has any value
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
Well,
it’s like the US Dollar. You can certainly find places where you gotta use something else, but generally, it’s accepted more universally than any other currency.
Mr. Science Boy
just sayin'
that having a defensive replacement on the team isn’t necessarilly a bad thing, not saying that Augie is the BEST use of that position, but there’s no lack of effort on his part and as of yet, the club has yet to find/invest in someone better.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
If that's the case
why haven’t they DFA’d him and called up RyRo, wouldn’t he be cheaper?
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
I'm not sure, actually,
except that I think we’re trying to give as much playing time as possible to dudes who’ll be starting in future seasons. Neither RyRo nor Augie will be doing that, methinks, so there’s no reason to audition either of them.

Pretty global
Malware promotion. I think it was server side, as multiple sites got hit, in entirely separate accounts, simultaneously. Been thinking about moving hosting. Now seems a really good time to do it!

Apropos of nothing
did anyone see Leyland let Valverde throw sixty pitches in the ninth the other day?
Actually, thanks for the Miggytag

When I met up Jenny
for a lunch in Fremont. We were talking about people on the ‘pit and your name came up. The first thing that came to the mind was your post where you thought you’ve already cancelled it, but posted it instead that got everyone to go, “umm…wow…”.
I couldn’t stop laughing about it for like a good 10 minutes.

Whens the last time
A guy who threw a no-hitter got traded like a month later?
Currently the only D'Backs fan in the Air Force...
It has happened. I don’t know THE last time. This was a topic the other night. One player threw a no hitter against his old team in his first start for his new team.
Nice strikeout!
Yeah, but that was AFTER he was traded
I think there was someone back in the 50’s?

Before I answer,
consider that Danny Haren, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, etc. have also been traded this year.
Is it really that strange that Edwin Jackson got traded?
Mr. Science Boy
I still find it more odd
That a team trades a guy that threw a no-hitter for them and is now apart of that teams history.

We traded RJ to the Yankees after his perfect game in that season, This season we traded Edwin Jackson.

I am not sure I like the thought of Hester being our backup catcher.
He is an injury away from starting O.O
Nice strikeout!

But not when he’s on one of these cold streaks.
Mr. Science Boy
yes
but not tonight.

He’s got to spend time in the bullpen. I’m pretty sure that leads to possession by demons who suck at pitching.

The name of the team is ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS - "I tried to convince them that what they were doing was an aberration, an imbecility, a stupidity without name"
Hmmm...
I thought so. This dude’s from southern AZ.
Also, just to show that plebeian Wikipedia editing is alive and well, here’s a paragraph from his wiki:
On January 13, 2010, Carrasco signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates with an invite to spring training.2 He gave me a baseball during batting practice once when I was at a Pirates and Dodgers game. I thought that was nice.
Mr. Science Boy
I lol'd.
I got this DR prospect from the Rockies to sign a foul ball I caught off of his bat (well, caught with my phone) and his eyes absolutely lit up when I asked he sign it.
I believe
it was Francisco Sosa. I know it was Sosa, ’cause I was like, excuse me, Mr. Sosa, can you please sign this ball, and he was like, awww yeeeeah. Only not really, it was just a massive smile. Probably one of his first autographs.
When I asked
Carlos Gonzalez to sign my ‘Winders hat in 2007, he didn’t make any expression whatsoever. He just mumbled “sure” very quietly.
Mr. Science Boy
When Trot Nixon played for the Sidewinders,
he always had a huge crowd around him. I never understood, he sucks.
Nice strikeout!
He was
a BAHSTAN dude.
I do remember Spring Training game I went to in … Wanna say 08? A random game of the D’Backs against Padres had a bunch of bandwagon Yankee fans (the bandwagon part may be redundent) being very very loud whenever Nixon was at bat. Trot had two homers that game.
Bad doormat! No stock options!
so I just got home from the grocery store
wondering what’s happened…:hits z 400+ times:
oh, that happened. And I missed it. Unexpected 2010 pitching performance is unexpected.
small quibble
expected pitching performance, unexpected performer
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
yeah, more what I meant
Before June 2010: What’s a Barry Enright?
After June 2010: Where was this guy hiding in the minors all this time?
there we go, he fits right in
another dude walked…..
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
the snakes are
the mutts’ punishment for their past sins. or maybe the mets have cashed it in psychologically..
Did Snyder WANT out?
dbackswriter
When #Dbacks Dipoto told Qualls he’d been traded, Snyder asked what about him. “I’ll probably talk to you in the morning,” Dipoto told him.
Nice strikeout!

I thought you were kidding
I guess it’s not just Curt Schilling who can give up homers to Cano at the completely wrong time….
since 2005
Well, he only got Schilling 4 times, but those 4 times were enough. (Like, every time I got to watch him pitch before I decided to invest in Extra Innings…the year he got hurt and retired, heh)
Soriano
already learning from the Quallster

I didn't mean the pitcher. i thought morinko was referring to the hr in game 7 of the WS
Nice strikeout!
he gave up homers to everyone!
Sure, to Cano, and to Alfonso “Hoppy” Soriano, but never to Rafael Soriano. He may have given them up to such luminaries as Pete Schourek and Steve Trachsel but never to some team’s closer.
Hey, it's relevant, sort of
I’m kind of surprised that Schilling never ever gave up an HR to a pitcher when he was with Arizona. Both his pitchery victimizations were when he was with Philadelphia.
correct me if I'm wrong
but isn’t Chase Field one of those places where FB-prone pitchers are going to give up frequent homers? Schilling already had those tendencies, but having it as his home park didn’t make it any better. (Good thing that Bert Blyleven never got to pitch there.)
Also, I hope Dipoto doesn’t get it into his head to trade for Todd Wellemeyer, unless he really likes disasters.
maybe not
