PrintHouston Astros at Arizona Diamondbacks, Sep 5, 2010 4:10 PM EDT
|
|
We came within four outs of taking the series last night, and it's a missed opportunity we might rue, since things are on much shakier ground for the Diamondbacks, as a result of our bullpen's failure. What is now the rubber game sees us send out Lopez, who hasn't won since before the All-Star break, going 0-5 in nine second-half attempts, with a 7.26 ERA over that time. It's probably fair to say he's being sent out there simply to avoid burning up any young arms. With a month left, Lopez is already in the top ten for single-season losses by an Arizona pitcher - another defeat today would give him the most since Javier Vasquez lost fifteen in 2005.
More details, and hope for a very special recap, after the jump.
We missed Happ in the Houston leg of the series - he's faced Arizona once before, getting the L but pitching well, with six innings of two-run ball when he was with the Phillies in July last year. Lopez did face the Astros, and got a no-decision, pitching well too - two runs over seven innings, in a game we lost on a walk-off homer in the ninth, served up by Juan Gutierrez. That shot was also by last night's bullpen slayer, Cliff Lee, so he's had a very big part in both Astros victories over the D-backs this season.
So sign of a line-up yet, though I am posting this early. Mrs. SnakePit is in the kitchen, making tortilla wrapilicious goodness, in preparation for Socofest III this afternoon. I'll be bringing the lap-top, and the aim is to get a different attendee to recap each inning of the game, as a variant of the "First Sunday Guest Recapper" idea. I'm not sure how much coercion will be required for this, or what the results will be: when I mentioned it to Mrs. S, she gave me a funny look and said. "Do I have to write about the game?" So I am uncertain what to expect: it may be even more random and unfocused than usual. At least with it being a Lopez start, there should be plenty to write about...

Uh oh
hopefully Phil gets the ninth or something, otherwise we won’t know how the game turned up until sometime next season. :(
My value over a replacement poster is approximately 10.5 runs.
HAH!!
We were only 45 MINUTES or so late…
Srsly. I forgot that I had to walk Frodo this morning when I set my alarm and told Emily when to expect me.
Mr. Science Boy
well
i liiiied, he had the 8th. but he was supposed to have the 9th. i just distracted mrssoco from her job so he had to take over.
I love
this MLB Network with the burning baseballs. It’s so nonsensical.
And when something falls out of place, I take my time, I put it back.
I'm going
to replace the D’backs game at SOCOFEST with a CSPAN marathon. Let’s see if anyone notices.

Toros
While Heilman was blowing the game for the Dbacks last night, the Toros did an epic fail of their own. (against Yuuuummmmmaaaaa) The Toros led 4-1 after 4, then 5-3 after 6 only to lose the game 7-5.
Some players I wonder how they are not in affliated ball. (like CF Josh Womack, always seems to impress me) Small sample size? Maybe. Then again, the Yuma 1B missed three pretty routine plays (one of them was a complete flub on a good throw to first). i guess we know why he is not in someones system.

I'd also like to point out
the Dbacks probable starter page was all messed up (I guess), so I wrote my lead-in a few days in advance as if Rodrigo were starting. The Lantern started against Houston earlier this season, going seven with only 2ER (in a loss).
My value over a replacement poster is approximately 10.5 runs.
I do
not want to lose this series to the Astros. So Lopez needs to not pitch terribly today.

So was this Hester’s first HR of the season? I know it was his first hit of this game.
Roberts’ HR was his first HR of the season up here…that was posted on the jumbotron after he hit it yesterday
