Remains to be seen whether #Dbacks will carry three catchers, but the way Chris Herrmann has hit the ball today — two rockets, one off a RHP and one off a LHP — certainly bodes well for him.

Ray Flores hit a nice 3 run jack yesterday vs. Brewers. Made a nice diving grab in center as well.

I waited for 6 PM to see the Fox Sports Arizona replay (not shown live during the afternoon because the Suns game was on), because I wanted to see Steve and BB.

Despite it being a D-backs home game, the KC broadcast was the one shown on Fox Sports Arizona. What a bummer! So I read about the game online instead.

Go D-backs!

After 4 at Camelback Ranch, #Dbacks trail the White Sox 3-0. #DbacksSpring

I wonder how many times Bracho gets hit before they decide that he is not a Major League pitcher.

Not only his stats, but he looks like a kid on the mound trying to get the ball to home plate. His body language is weak. Very reminiscent of BK Kim who, despite his horrible 3-game performance in NY, we won a World Series.

Why'd it take until now? He's been out a 1 1/2 years already!

Zack Greinke hits 89.1 mph on his second pitch of the game. Good sign considering he was topping at 87 last week.

Greinke left with right groin tightness.

 

[BC867]

Yup, Greinke out after one inning with a right groin tightness. 'Hope it's nothing serious.

It looks like the D-backs are ready for the humidor. Line drives. 4-0 lead in the 2nd so far.

And here's a prediction. David Peralta is going to lead the NL in batting average this season. He's hitting over .500.

A solid first five in the batting order. Peralta, Pollock, Goldy, Lamb and Souza.
