PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Milwaukee Brewers, Aug 9, 2010 8:10 PM EDT
|
|
It's off to Milwaukee, where we face the sinister Brewers this series. I say that, because I believe we'll be facing a trio of left-handed starters this series. The Diamondbacks have done okay against southpaws this year - we're 11-18 against them, a win % of .379, very close to the overall number of .384. Overall, Arizona hits a bit better against lefties. The season line is .262/.349/.450 compared to .250/.323/.408 against righties, a difference of 67 OPS points. But that conceals some quite large disparities - and it's perhaps not who you think that has crushed them.
Leading the charge against left-handed starters have been Kelly Johnson and Adam LaRoche - who are, of course, left-handed batters. They are hitting .320 and .340 respectively, with both having an OPS over 1.000. We are talking about a relatively small number of at-bats, however: about a hundred for each player. Most of the other positions hang in fairly well, though Justin Upton's power seems much less - in 129 PAs aganst an LHSP, he has only two homers. Miguel Montero is the regular who struggles most: against all lefties, he's 7-for-30, with a .686 OPS, a contrast to last year - with the alternative now being John Hester, Miggy needs to improve here.
We will also be keeping an eye on Ian Kennedy, to see if his recent struggles continue. His overall line against hasn't changed much since before the break, except for his strikeout rate being sharply down, which may suggest that he is beginning to run out of gas. We faced Narveson when the Brewers came to Arizona back in May, and he got the win, allowing one run in 5.2 innings, striking out eight Diamondbacks hitters, as Milwaukee pulled away late for a 6-1 victory. Here's to better tonight, or at least a better performance than yesterday, since I have to write the recap!
- Chris Young CF
- Kelly Johnson 2B
- Justin Upton RF
- Miguel Montero C
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Stephen Drew SS
- Rusty Ryal 1B
- Gerardo Parra LF
- Ian Kennedy RHP

how much better would this dbacks team do with a healthy and strong webb?
anyone want to guess?
i think they’d be be maybe 5 games over .500
but, we probably wouldn’t have seen enright at all this season if that were the case.

I don't think we'd be that good...
Our bullpen would make sure that wouldn’t happen.
Leads/ties blown by the Diamondbacks bullpen in '10: 33
I wouldn't say that much
Our fifth starters haven’t been that bad, it’s the bullpen failure that’s killing us. I’d say we’d have maybe 5 more wins this season.

Is he really
an “injury risk”, though? Having Tommy John surgery usually isn’t a predictor of future injury troubles.

Yeah,
TJS is more of a sure thing than other arm surgeries… but still, we have to carefully monitor his workload over the next few years, even more than the normal young pitcher.

Leads/ties blown by the Diamondbacks bullpen in '10: 34
I always thought CY was faster than Justin.

I'd say they're about equal.
But TJU is much thicker than CY.
Leads/ties blown by the Diamondbacks bullpen in '10: 34
Good point.
It would be pretty close though… Upton is quite a bit faster. I’d wanna see that, if there was no chance at all of injury.
Leads/ties blown by the Diamondbacks bullpen in '10: 34
True.
But Upton might flip his bat and trot out of the box, while you KNOW that Mark is always going full-speed and has no regard for life or limb.
Mr. Science Boy
Personally,
I think Upton’s hustle problems are overblown. He had that one mental lapse in Colorado, but other than that, there hasn’t been many major problems.
Leads/ties blown by the Diamondbacks bullpen in '10: 34
Oh, I agree.
And he ALWAYS hustles in the OF. He just doesn’t always take off out of the box at full speed — but he’s also been much better about that this year than last year.
Besides, Albert Pujols doesn’t always take off out of the box, either.
Mr. Science Boy
Nor does (insert superstar's name here).
Also, I think AJ’s benching of Upton in Colorado was one of the finest moments of his time as a manager. TJU took it perfectly, Hinch handled it perfectly, and it hasn’t happened again.
Kinda OT, but still…

Mark's 2nd straight walk.
Droo at bat, bases loaded.
Given that he doesn’t have a hit yet today, it is statistically 100% that he WILL get a hit here, right??

What about in like 00 and 01? I think we won alot then. I am not sure, seems like it.
Nice strikeout!
I'm not positive.
But, they HAVE taken something like 17 of their last 22 contests against us.

Not true.
Many teams facing Church have said that.
Leads/ties blown by the Diamondbacks bullpen in '10: 34
OPS+ above 100,
meaning he was an above-average major league hitter, from 2005-2007 for Washington, and in 2008 for the Mets. Hit 15 homers in 2007 and 12 in 2008.

But judging by Gameday those were two really solid at-bats by Ryan Church and Stephen Drew.

No...no actually it isn't

Hard to watch Trevor Hoffman implode. Have to hand it to Dbacks for scratching out the lead.
Nice strikeout!
socos checking in from Chicago
So soco can put in, “Good job Shurshe.”
Also, tomorrow we go into White Sox territory, wish us well! ;)
When they're good they're very very good, but most of the time they're just awful.
Have fun Soco's

great comeback, just heard Burns on the MLB network say Montero was our best hitter. They were shocked that they walked Montero to get to Reynolds
Byrnes thought he was our best hitter as well
No surprise on his ignorance

at this very point in time
Miggy is our best hitter when it comes to consistency. Top 3 hitter on the team depending on how Upton and CY are feeling.

upton is hitting .330 since mid june
not in disagreement necessarily on miguel being “best hitter”, however.

Why would
they be shocked that they walked Montero to get to Reynolds, if Montero is our best hitter?

Seems dumb to be surprised
Walking Miggy set up the force at second or third.

35 minutes
and Miggy’s B-R page drops to $15 (and won’t go any lower). needs moar snakepit advertising?
I'm sure
someone here can think of something awesome. Plus, when he start for the NL in the 2011 ASG, I’m sure his B-R page will get quite a lot of hits.
Miggy
would have to have a pretty freaking epic first half of the season to upset Brian McCann.

Or his vision can go crappy again
causing him to suck at hitting.

Loved that guy.

While I'm not normally a fan of ERA,
it goes double for relievers. He has a 3.49 xFIP. Really good.
Leads/ties blown by the Diamondbacks bullpen in '10: 34
Just to clarify
is xFIP the same as FIP, only instead of actual homers, it looks at how many they should have given up using HR/FB? Or am I completely off-base?
Are we allowed to use that word again?
I thought solid and sweet were not allowed.

That reminds me, when I was the manager of the soccer team in high school, we played in Nogales. There was a Taco Bell down there. My teacher thought it was very strange, and said they probably don’t get a lot of business (she was the Spanish teacher).
