Open Thread 5/15: Diamondbacks @ Braves

The Braves start a three game series with the very bad Diamondbacks today. Arizona has a bunch of young guys with a penchant for strike outs and we are throwing Javier Vazquez, who is 4th in the NL in Ks. Over under on how many Ks he walks away with? Also I will actually be at this game (probably the only one this season) so I may not get the recap up tonight.

we better kill the dbacks

LETS GET A SWEEP.

People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

Lets not start it up again tonight, but people need to give the dude a shot. Yes, I know his defense sucks and that’s fine. But saying he’s an 8 hitter is just stupid. Dude is 6 for his last 13 with 5 RBI. Maybe he should have taken a minor league assignment to get warmed up, but I think his bat is coming around.

Sisyphus: Rock :: KT : JoeChat

This hill doesn’t look too steep. Let’s get a-pushin’!

Joe Morgan: The fact that the Mets lost another game proves to me that the last three outs are sometimes tougher than I’ve ever thought they were.

English Language: [explodes]

Cole (California): Hey Joe, im a HUGE D’backs fan. By trading for Dunn, did they make a mistaking trading for him since they already have a hitter like him in Mark reynolds?

Hey Cole. KT here. Real quick: Mark Reynolds is nothing like Adam Dunn. Mark Reynolds has a .335 OBP in 223 career games (.324 this year, in 113 games). He has 81 walks in those 223 career games. Adam Dunn has 82 walks so far this year. He has a career OPS of .900. He hits 40 HR a year, every year, like clockwork. He is, and I know Mark Reynolds is young, a far better hitter than Mark Reynolds. Thanks for your time.

Joe Morgan: They do have a lot of hitters that strike out.

They are also 19th in OPS. Dunn immediately becomes their team leader in OPS. It is a good thing for their team that they got Dunn.

That’s one of the problems on that team. But Dunn helps because he will supply power that they also do not have. It will make for a frustrating offense, but he will definitely hit the ball out of the park on a consistent basis.

This marks the first time I have ever supported Joe Morgan using the word “consistent.”

People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

Good game for Schafer, gets a game-tying RBI, a hit in the ninth, and the winning run.

I know rules are rules – but there’s just something wrong about a pitcher able to blow a save and get the win instead of the guy who gave you 7 strong innings.

Yeah, it’s been a rough week for Gonzo. Hopefully he can turn it around.

Loved the pre-game pep talk in the dugout, Chip

Keep up the good work, guys. They’re starting to realize we have a very strong chance of seriously fucking some other clubs up, bad. We need to just keep doing what we are currently doing. It’s “clicking.” And I have a feeling the next time we play the Mets, it’s going to be dirty.

Hopefully the Mutts, Thillies, and Fish all lose tonite. Or the Nats. Either way.

Can you imagine if Jeter did a pre-game pep talk in the dugout, and then the Yankees had a last AB win? ESPN would be demanding that he be placed in the HOF immediately.
