A.J. Going to Manage Me: 2009 Diamondbacks

A.J. HINCH?!?!

big year for a.j.'s

A.J. gets the gas face for pulling Davis (at 80 pitches) for a pinch hitter with two outs and no one on base. He could have backwards K'd himself, you @#^#.

You're not getting run support AND you're getting yanked after 11 consecutive outs.

managers pinch hitting for pitchers w/ no on and two outs is a continuous pet peeve of mine

i get the sense AJ is gonna lose that team pretty quickly with shit like that

Who is this ex-player analyst? Davis needs to look himself in the mirror, apparently, because it is his fault his team is behind right now.

(It's not Grace.)

holy shit

FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz. (AP)—The wife of Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Scott Schoeneweis(notes) has been found dead at her home.

Police say the cause of death hasn’t been determined.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says deputies found the body of 39-year-old Gabrielle Dawn Schoeneweis on the floor of the master bedroom in the family’s suburban home shortly after noon Wednesday.

Authorities say her 14-year-old daughter called the sheriff’s office to report that she had found her mother lying there and unresponsive.

(Comic relief)

Minor-league salaries being what they are — low — for players such as Zavada, he kept a bunch of the part-time gigs until spring training '09 to make ends meet. He worked construction, and at a sawmill, he refurbished a motorcycle and a go-kart to sell on eBay, and he shot an intruding opossum so the dead critter's carcass might attract raccoons — who have valuable pelts.

Zavada > Schchlerehth

(Scads of inherited runners scored, pbly, but not the few times I've caught him.)

that is fucking awesome.

Vin Scully loved this dude when he made his first appearance in LA. Said something like 'oh boy this looks like a fella who comes in and forecloses on your mortgage!'

Chris Young sent down to AAA. Dude had an amazing rookie year, got a fat deal out of it then crash and burned. Wha happen? If I remember what I read awhile ago he didnt have OBP issues until his call up.
