Open Thread 5/30: Braves @ Diamondbacks

PrintAtlanta Braves at Arizona Diamondbacks, May 30, 2009 4:10 PM EDT
After winning last night, despite Jair Jurrjens' worst start of the season, the Braves will look to continue their winning streak (currently at 1 game) with Javier Vazquez on the mound. Vazquez lost his last start, but he did pitch very effectively against these same Diamondbacks on the 15th, allowing just 2 earned runs in 7 innings, en route to a no decision.
The Snakes will counter with well traveled lefty Doug Davis, who has lost his last 3 decisions. All things being equal, Davis really hasn't pitched that poorly this season, but he's never been a guy who's been much better than a .500 pitcher. I'm starting to see why the Diamondbacks have been so bad this season though; two weeks ago I saw Arizona's AA Mobile team, and three of the players who appeared in last night's contest, Gerardo Parra, Daniel Schlereth, and Clay Zavada, where all there. That's a lot of players coming right up from AA. Of course, having a manager who's never manged, at any level of baseball, and who wasn't that great of a player himself, probably doesn't help either.

I apologize profusely for the lateness of this posting. I’m in the middle of making and independent movie and our shooting ran a lot longer than expected. Again, I’m very sorry, and hopefully it won’t happen again.

Can’t really link it. Got to sticktv.net and scroll down to the channel that is streaming the game. I can’t see it because Windows won’t let me install the fucking plug in this stream client is using. Bah!

I didn’t hear, but I’m assuming he’s out because his feet hurt him more when he’s batting right-handed.
that looks pretty fuckin good..

Is this their regular line-up?
Is anyone missing? If so, losing is going to be tough to take.
Chad Tracy is on the DL. As a result, Reynolds is playing first and Roberts is playing third base. They also don’t have Chris Young. Neither of those guys are big losses for the Diamondbacks.
The big thing is that they have Felipe Lopez back, instead of any three crappy back-up options.
OK, I forgot about Young
but agree with your assessment nonetheless.

Airing some thoughts
However bad our offence has been, im still suprised we aren’t doing even worse. Just something i noticed today was that while everyone has been rightly talking about our real and crippling lack of power, we boast a lineup today that has no player hitting over .300 I know average isn’t everything but to have NO player hitting .300 in your lineup is really shocking.
Not sure what my point is. I think its along the lines of being depressed that like in recent years if a few parts of this team were a bit better we would be doing a whole lot better. But then if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle. Go Braves and please let us finally pick up our game against the awful Westie Teams

Offense only has 2 runs thus far (i.e. not on fire) — might as well keep your guy in
leave him in

And we wait just long enough until the lead is gone
to get a fresh guy in there again
a guy doesnt go from getting out of a bases-loaded jam via 2 Ks and then just lose it…he isnt pitching badly. He gave up the double which hurt, but other than that, an infield single, passed ball and single. not walking people and definitely striking them out…i think i would still leave him in.

Gonzalez
I have a bad feeling here… non-save situation…. closers have been known to melt down in those.
runner in scoring position. you can pretty much pencil this one in for a loss.

Soriano
Had only thrown 9 pitches last inning, why not see if he can go 2?
good lord

HE DOESN’T DO WELL

Soriano for closer, just my humble opinion!

i dont like closers
i like “firemen”
guys who you put in there when you absolutely need the outs.
games are won and lost more often in the 6th, 7th, and 8th innings than in the 9th.

speaking of closers
You think Luis Valdez has a shot at being closer next year? 9 saves in AAA, good Ks, Sori and Gonzo are pending FA….. Valdez should get a call-up this year, with the way he’s pitched.
sweet
1 pitch, 1 out

Prado, Logan, FYF
Due up next for the Braves, if we make it that far — I’m feeling 12 at least if we hope to win

showed it outside (if you are talking about the first ball)

Why would they not BB Brynes
and try to set up the vidro?
because the Braves hitters gave up 5 innings ago….
by Sparklemotion on May 30, 2009 7:19 PM EDT up reply actions
Good thing
we left JV in to bunt in the 7th with 1 on nobody out…that didn’t backfire at all
Was stuck watching the game on Gameday…how bad was the pitch Bennett threw to Reynolds? Gameday made it seem like it was a good pitch low and away that he just took the other way.
Thanks…just wanted to know before the inevitable Bennett bashing tomorrow.

It wasn’t even hard it. It was a fucking squibber that probably would have been two if there was a runner on first, but wouldn’t have been with the IF in

Why didn’t we play “no doubles” in the 11th? Late innings, don’t want an extra base hit to hurt you. I don’t know, it makes sense to me… what ya’ll think?
And Bennett made pretty good pitches. Reynolds was able to hit a good pitch into a 2B, and the little dribbler hit by Byrnes would’ve been a routine groundball… alas, the Braves lost.
