PrintSan Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks, Sep 1, 2010 6:10 PM EDT
|
|
Another weird little start time today: 3.10pm? At least this one is on TV, I think - not that I'll be able to watch any of it, unless it goes into extra innings. That might not be a bad thing for Arizona, as it'd mean Enright has been able to hang tough against yet another staff ace. [I believe the Giants are looking into resurrecting Christy Mathewson for Barry's next scheduled outing] Latos would likely be the front-runner for NL Rookie of the Year - except for one extra inning last year, in a meaningless (for the Padres) September game, which disqualifies him. Looks like their RotY-less streak will continue: almost as long as their World Series-less streak now...
We've already won the series - surprised to realize it is our fifth such victory in a row over the Padres at Chase, with the Diamondbacks having a record of 11-3 in that time. It'd be nice to sent the Padres home on the receiving end of a sweep, and to their seventh loss. I wrote about San Diego's struggles on SBNation.com earlier today; Latos has, however, not been part of them. He shut Arizona out for six innings when we faced him on August 8th, and in his last four outings, has allowed four runs in 26 innings of work. Our streak of free tacos, currently at six games, would appear to be under threat. Who else but Enright to face him?
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make K's your aim;
If you can meet with Lincecum and Strasburg
And treat those two impostors just the same;
....
If you can fill the unforgiving match-up
With ninety pitches worth of fly-ball fun,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be aMankey component of the Diamondbacks starting rotation for the foreseeable future, my son!
[That whirring sound you hear, is Rudyard Kipling, turning in his grave]
No line-up at time of going to press, but I'm sure Kelly Johnson is hoping Adam LaRoche is back in the line-up, to keep his mind off plotting further revenge on KJ... It being Wednesday, it will be an Azreca... Oh, hang on: not quite the case any more, is it? :-( I'll be doing this one, probably as soon as I get home. I wonder if the baseball gods will notice, or if they'll still serve up an interesting contest for us? [Edit: now with lineup!]
- Stephen Drew ss .275
- Kelly Johnson 2b .274
- Chris Young cf .268
- Adam LaRoche 1b .271
- Mark Reynolds 3b .216
- Miguel Montero c .283

Here's a stone cold lock for the rest of the year
Allen will put up better numbers than Gerardo Parra.
At least I hope to God he can… it ain’t hard to beat a 66 OPS+ (or whatever Parra is wallowing in these days).

We just don’t talk about all of the other guys who had to go to the ’pen because of their mechanics, as talking about disappointing ’pen arms is far less interesting.
It’s the mechanics. He looks a lot like Sam Demel throwing (elbows forming an M shape) as he separates his hands in his windup.

I've always wondered
Why, when talking about pitching mechanics, they refer to “the inverted W” instead of “the M”.
"Robin, some people die of old age. Some people get crushed by a tank shaped like a giant Rubber Ducky. That's life."
inverted W
apparently someone started using it and it stuck, but I think it’s because in a W, the arms are diagonal, not vertical…

but in football, coach has a lot of say in roster moves
Part of why I've never latched on to football
Is that there really doesn’t seem to be one GM strictly behind the personnel choices… it’s rather strange to me.

Shouldn't the Padres have shut down Latos
Like three starts ago? Do they really not think they’ll be contending multiple times within the next five years? Is it worth it to kill Latos now for a first-round exit?
The downside to contending can be very very worrisome.

yeah i sort of agree with that
latos is really good. we’re gonna have a lot of trouble tonight…..his breaking stuff is too good and we can’t hit him
hopefully we work up his pitch count and they take him out early
not that that’s good for us necessarily, given their bullpen……
...then again, OTOH,

Lots of IP but low pitch count
I think they’re doing the right thing with Latos. He is still pitching, but they don’t let him throw too many pitches in a game. His max is 108. Baseball is so unpredictable that if you have a good chance for the postseason, you have to go for it.
There’s nothing magic about 150 IP. Hudson, Enright, and Kennedy are all at that level too, and aren’t being shut down. Although that would make more sense for the Diamondbacks than the Padres.
Yep. Not gonna be easy today.
That much seems clear.

Random factoid
Latos went in the eleventh round in 2006.
My value over a replacement poster is approximately 10.5 runs.
yeah
but he was picked out of HS which means it was probably a high upside pick but worried about signability
Aaaaaand
five consecutive strikeouts for Latos.
My value over a replacement poster is approximately 10.5 runs.
On the plus side
Pitch count through two:
Latos: 35
Enright: 14
At this pace, Barry should be good for sixteen shutout innings…

Let’s see while with me there was also Ray, Chris and Marc. She would come to me to buy her stuff and then freak out if I didn’t want to spend MY money. If I didnt, she would go to her hacker freind Marc and he would hack me until I gave in. I have changed my phone number twice because of him. He even followed me to DBBP. (TAP banned him).
She is still the same way. Wants to hang out about once a week at El Molinito or whereever. When I got fired in July, and all of a sudden I could no longer pay for everything… she has talked to me twice since (and we havent been together in two years).

"Those ladies right behind there, they haven’t stopped talking the whole game," Rob Dibble said in the sixth inning of Wednesday night’s Nats broadcast. "They have some conversation going on. Right here," he said, circling the offenders. "There must be a sale tomorrow going on here or something….Their husbands are going man, don’t bring your wife next time."

I really don't think Norberto is the LOOGY of our future
Too many walks. No point bringing in a left-hander to face one guy, if he’s going to let him stroll to first.

Mark was indicating
it may have been pitch selection. Miggy stood up to get two high fastballs, but both were walls. What’s the point? He can’t hit a 3-run home run w/ the bases empty.

I guess you have to “consider” him, but there’ve been too many ridiculously amazing rookies. Enright’s just been awesome.

Unless you mean rules-wise
in which case yes.

seriously though….it’s definitely reassuring to see Allen play left field pretty well today. he should be an average defender. and his bat will be okay i think….
we could always bring parra in late innings as a defensive replacement.

what a beautiful day
and what a lovely and exciting game. the parts i saw were the best (except the great brandon allen outfielding, missed thems)
