KTE -- Diamondbacks II

Frayed Knot Jun 01 2007 08:37 AM

Good Morning, Good Morning - Diamondbacks: 32 - 23 They're Leaving Home - 3 Games at Shea starting Friday Night D'Backs are 17-11 at home and 15-12 on the road Reprise - This is the 2nd meeting this year after taking 3 of 4 from them at their place in early May. The results from that tilt: Game 1: Mets 9 - D'Backs 4 Glavine & Owings started. Mets were down 4-3 heading into the 9th until first Easley, and then Wright, hit 3R bombs Game 2: Mets 5 - D'Backs 3 Maine runs his record to 5-0 as he outduels Randy Johnson backed by HRs from LoDuca & Franco Game 3: Mets 6 - D'Backs 2 Jorge Sosa wins his Met debut against Brandon Webb as a LoDuca single and Hairston error leads to four 6th inning runs. Game 4: D'Backs 3 - Mets 1 Livan Hernandez out-duels Pelfrey to end the lengthy winning streak in Arizona. Getting Better - We're coming up against a hot team; winners of 7 straight and 15-7 overall since our visit there. They're currently in a 3-way first place tie w/the Dodgers & Padres for the West. A Day in the Life - Stats of the moment METS STAT SNAKES 34 - 18 Record 32 - 23 7 - 3 Last 10 8 - 2 259 RS 239 196 RA 224 .278 Team BA .257 .350 OBA .327 .429 SLG .409 .151 IsoP .152 50 HRs 47 61 SBs 21 3.37 ERA 3.70 1.22 WHiP 1.35 .375 Opp-SLG .400 With a Little Help from Our Friends Friday: 7:10 - Webb (4 - 3, 3.74) vs Maine Saturday: 1:10 - Livan Hernandez (5 - 2, 3.58) vs Sosa Sunday: 1:10 - Davis (3 - 6, 3.27) vs Perez They'll Need a Little Help From Their Friends 1B - Conor Jackson 2B - Orlando Hudson SS - Stephen Drew 3B - ** LF - Eric Byrnes CF - Chris Young RF - Carlos Quentin C - Chris Snyder - Miguel Montero - Robby Hammock For the Benefit of Me -- If you want more info on each of the position players go read the [url=http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?t=6259]last KTE[/url], I ain't doing it again Fixing a Hole - 3B changes sine we last saw them: Chad Tracy was stitting during our visit to their place with a strained oblique and has since been DL'd Alberto Callaspo was temporarily on the "restricted list" due to an arrest for domestic violence a few days after our series there. No formal charges have been filed yet and he was reinstated. Mark Reynolds has been called up - Another Tidewater, VA area product (23 y/o), Reynolds has been a good bat in search of a position in the Az system and is off to a great start in his ML career (23 for 63 with 11 Xtra base hits) ... and then he went and ran into his pitcher during a bunt play the other night and is temporarily sitting (though not on the DL) with a sore neck. If he plays, it'll most likely be at 3rd with Tracy out and Callaspo on double-secret probation. Within You and Without You No Alou, No Valentin, No Green and possibly no Beltran for a game or two or more. When I'm Sixty-Four - No word on whether Julio Franco will start against the lefty Davis

Excellent KTE,great pitching match ups,they seem to be a well run organization,not sure if they are still in debt though. I think they must have listed every person that works there... http://arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.com/team/front_office.jsp?c_id=ari

It will be interesting to see how they fare against their peers for a stretch.

It'll be interesting to see who the outfielders are.

Hopefully better than the Brewers have done since coming to NY for a similar tough stretch . Transmonk like LoDuca just picked up his 1000 hit.

After last nights line up, many fans may need a Know Thy Mets thread.
