Game Day: Pain In The Asp Edition

Having been driven out of the swamp, the Snakes get their chance at revenge.

Livan versus Brandon Webb.

Webb's a solid pitcher who's been relatively anonymous, pitching in the tall shadow of Randy Johnson and with depressed win totals because of a crappy team. He was even overshadowed in his rookie year by the inferior Dontrelle Willis.

Expect a lot of groundballs. He's an extreme groundballer. (75% last year!)

But, he'll also give up some walks. (over 5 a game last year!)

Picture Zach Day, but one who doesn't throw as tentatively.

Watching the game? Listening on the radio. Come rant with us!

  • Joe Horgan update ... still not so good. Last night against Albuquerque, he has this interesting line.

    He strikes out the side but allows 6 baserunners.
