Colorado Rockies @ Arizona Diamondbacks


Guess there won't be any snow to postpone this one. Time to give the D'Backs a bloody lip in the second round.


Go Rockies!

Hmmm

It may be Webb, Haren, and then who's carin' for the D-backs, but I have this bad feeling it'll be Webb, Haren, and start swearin' for the rest of the West. Dammit, Billy Beane, why couldn't you have traded him to.... the Nationals or something?

Hmm

Too bad Spilly's hot hitting couldn't get him another start, but then again, we don't want to have to count on 9 RBI from our fail-at-hitting catcher and fourth outfielder.

I know Hawpe owns Webb

I meant in place of Willy T, but even he has shown signs of coming around. Trust me, Hawpe's complete pwnage of their Brandon is well-known around here.

Also

I was at the May 16th game against the Dbacks last year where our Brandon hit two homers off their Brandon. I would enjoy seeing a repeat performance.

Long-running joke

dating from last year. He had a great game in April, I believe it was, and ESPN, with their usual genius, declared that the Player of the Game was "Brandon Hawpe." We took it and ran with it, since they couldn't even be bothered to get it right when they were honoring him.

So yeah

If Hawpe does something good, you're likely to see one or two posts of "BRANDON!" Don't worry, we're not congratulating Webb.

Interesting that Baker isn't starting

He was suppose to start Thursday and Wednesday. I thought it was a sign 2nd might be getting "shared"

Out of the bottom three

I think Francis might have the most chance at getting a hit, as it's probably too much to hope that Yorvit has figured anything out.

On another note

I just checked in on the A's/Indians game in Cleveland and noticed that they've renamed the Jake "Progressive Field." I'm not even an Indians fan and I'm pretty sure this is tantamount to heresy. Just wrong.

Well, I drive by

Mile High Stadium all the time that has some weird name on it.

I hate naming rights by the way. Wrigley, Finway, Yankee Stadium, Dodger Stadium have no naming rights...and there is more of a timeless connection from the fans to place. Even if that connection was to something that happened years before the fan was born.

Well technically...

Yorvit DOES qualify as a hot bat right now. Bizarro universe, I know.

Fortunately

I am pragmatic enough to realize there is close to zero chance of said hot hitting for Yorvit continuing against Webb. Webb just has to put it low and away and Yorvit, who has never met a slider in the dirt he didn't like, will do the rest for him.

Although I shouldn't complain too much, this fall/next spring they'll be starting in the wee hours of the morning, and my night-owl ways/sleepless wonders/devotion to my team will be put to the test. In short, I won't sleep much. Le sigh.

Just saw this, something really, really odd:

In AAA gameday action, from the Syracuse (TOR) - Rochester (MIN) game, Rochester just got their first hit of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning. The hit was their 9th baserunner of the game. They had already scored 3 runs.

You, Tulo, and Nix are entrenching your places on the Suck List. Just thought you should be aware. Giving up a homer to Byrnes is inexcusable.

Argh, I really thought we were past this...

For the same reason that people celebrated the "Millenium" in 2000,

rather than 2001. I recall hearing an interview with Arthur C. Clarke (The late, great, Arthur C. Clarke) at the time talking about how the reason for the celebration being in 2000 was because the changed from 1999 to 2000 has a much stronger psychological effect than the change from 2000 to 2001. Same with 1998-2008, rather than 1998-2007.

Our offensive woes are not magically cured. Like I said, counting on 9 RBI from Yorvit and Spilly isn't a great idea.... I wish Spilly was starting over Willy tonight....

Not that Willy is playing good

but this is a terrible matchup for Spilborghs. He's too easily frozen on the inner-half, and as a guy that does his best against lefties, facing a pitcher that's murder to righties just adds to the struggle.

Maybe Pods would be better in the future, but Willy should be better, when you consider most his hits are infield singles anyway.

He's not

Just looking at his pitches, everything's up, and he's not working the corners of the plate in the way he usually does. He hasn't looked right yet this year.

He's a medium throwing lefty

he takes em any way he can. But he does pitch to contact. Some grounders, some in the air, a couple k's. But he usually pitches down in the zone....ala the old Braves pitchers...pound that outside corner.
