    Game #52 Arizona Diamondbacks @ Houston Astros. 09/18/20

    A good game by the D-backs! Moving Calhoun to an RBI position in the batting order was the key. Let's see how long he is left in the heart of the order. The old saying, "Always keep them guessing." shouldn't apply to your players. And let's see how long before a starting outfielder is benched...

    Game #52 Arizona Diamondbacks @ Houston Astros. 09/18/20

    It's about time Torey moved Calhoun, his most dependable RBI guy, from leadoff to the cleanup position. He recently batted Varsho leadoff, then back to the bottom of the order. A power hitting rookie, who doesn't fit either spot. I can't figure out if Torey is that ignorant of how to drive in...

    I would guess Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra were the first two. Although Elston Howard would be a possibility.

    Playoffs 2020 Round 2 Phoenix Mercury @ Minnesota Lynx. 09/17/20

    Brittney's "skill" is her height. As a Center, she is quite skinny. A tall Wing. Also an irregular scorer, despite her stats. And, as mentioned, not a dominant rebounder, having been outrebounded by DeWanna every season. And not a clutch player. We're better off with a bulky role-playing...

    Playoffs 2020 Round 2 Phoenix Mercury @ Minnesota Lynx. 09/17/20

    In all fairness, we won the first elimination game by one point with a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Single elimination games are the pits.

    Playoffs 2020 Round 2 Phoenix Mercury @ Minnesota Lynx. 09/17/20

    Phoenix down by one with 15 seconds to go and Minnesota has the ball, but misses. The Mercury with a chance for another come from behind victory, but turn over the ball.

    The Mercury are down by 3 with 2 minutes to go. The rookie Dangerfield really steps up in the 4th quarter.

    Diana was Rookie of the Year in the WNBA 16 years ago. Wow! And I agree with you about my favorite Mercury, DeWanna Bonner. She played so many roles and stepped up to cover for Diana when necessary. And led the Mercury in rebounding, despite playing with Griner on the floor.

    Playoffs 2020 Round 2 Phoenix Mercury @ Minnesota Lynx. 09/17/20

    Minnesota has opened up a 70-64 lead with 7:00 left in the 4th quarter. And it looks like Peddy, having been hit in the face in the 1st half, tried but is not coming back.

    Playoffs 2020 Round 2 Phoenix Mercury @ Minnesota Lynx. 09/17/20

    It is tied at 60 at the end of 3 quarters. Now it's a 10 minute game. Skylar is 1 for 9 so far.

    Playoffs 2020 Round 2 Phoenix Mercury @ Minnesota Lynx. 09/17/20

    Their Dangerfield (their leading scorer and WNBA Rookie of the Year) and our Skylar both off to slow starts in scoring this game. Fowles signaled her bench that she's winded in this, her first game back.

    Fowles is rusty and missing shots.

    Peddy. who was hit in the face, is being checked out to see if her vision is affected.

    Sylvia Fowles is back and at Center for Minnesota. They are going big at the 3-4-5.

    Game #51 Arizona Diamondbacks @ Los Angeles Angels. 09/17/20

    The Angels load the bases in the 2nd and Peralta makes a great diving catch. But the sac fly makes the score 4-0. Then Trout drives in another. 5-0 after 2 innings to a team with a record as bad as ours. I can't watch this! I'll be back in front of the TV in two hours to watch the Mercury in...

    Game #49 Arizona Diamondbacks @ Los Angeles Angels. 09/15/20

    As it is for all MLB teams. But we are the one who recently lost 20 out of 24, which led to a fire sale. Torey's 'habit and routine' are not working in a competitive league. And his interviews and post- game demeanor are not inspiring. The Peter Principle -- in a heirarchy, employees who are...

    Game #51 Arizona Diamondbacks @ Los Angeles Angels. 09/17/20

    The Angels jump out to a 3-run lead, including a 2-run HR. Another come-from-behind game. 'So sad to post that.

    Game #51 Arizona Diamondbacks @ Los Angeles Angels. 09/17/20

    And the power hitting Varsho is batting leadoff today. Following the weakest hitters in the lineup. Hit or miss lineups. It makes no sense and puts a lot of pressure on the players.

    For the record, DBook was an injury replacement. He was not voted to the All Star team by the fans.
