Right there with ya. I HATE that he is KT's personal pet project and he won't admit he's wrong.

Miranda was 4-45 going into the inning and then gets a big RBI in the 6th almost immediately after these posts, I swear ASFN has magical powers for Dbacks hitters.

I really like the way the bull pen picked up the starter today. Down 6-1, the pen gave up NOTHING the rest of the way-----no walks, no runs-----5 pitchers, 5 innings. Great relief performance.

On the other hand, the offense picked up as the game went on. Even Miranda had a good offensive performance. Everyone seems to have contributed to the 8-6 comeback win. Good stuff. Better yet, Giants lose to Padres,-----Yea !!!!!

Why is Heilman still on this team? All he does is give up runs.

Collmenter finally has a good outing again and the pen completely blows it. Demel and Patterson should travel in the cargo hold until they get their crap together.

Great win. Let the Cards back into it and Hernandez made it interesting.

Uhh, the only thing Hernandez did wrong was walk Pujols. He had to basically get four outs that inning. I would really hope Gibson keeps Hernandez as the closer when Putz comes back.

It really seems like he has better stuff than Putz.

I feel more comfortable watching Hernandez pitching than Putz when it comes to closing games. It seems like he has more of a presence and he has some good movement on his 97 mph fastball.

Hernandez came in with a one-run lead and Pujols, Halladay and Berkman due up.

He walked Pujols and Drew could have converted a double play to end the game had he not booted the ball.

He still gets the save

Nice performance. Even if Hernandez permanently supplants Putz when he comes off the DL, we still have a good 8th, 9th inning duo. Something this club couldn't dream up last season

Great game I'm sooooo glad we are getting our momentum back heading into the All Star game for a MUCH needed break.

Thank you Dbacks for giving us something fun to watch this summer!

It's a pleasure to see. Some would argue that it doesn't matter which is the 8th inning setup and which is the 9th inning closer.

But it does, on the road. If the setup man blows it, we still have an at-bat. If the closer blows it, that's all she wrote. At home, of course, we still have an at-bat.

Anyone notice that we now have more road wins this year than all of last year. Not to bad and we are only 16 wins from matching last years total wins.
