Arizona’s ‘motley bunch’ forces Game 5

[Dback Jon]

PHOENIX – It must be osmosis. All that playing experience, all those accolades and accomplishments somehow ooze from the Arizona Diamondbacks’ star-studded coaches office and into the clubhouse, soaking a roster of youthful and ordinary ballplayers in pure savvy.

How else to explain the Diamondbacks stunning the Milwaukee Brewers for a second straight night and forcing a National League Division Series Game 5 by again getting contributions from rookies, castoffs and overachievers in a 10-6 victory Wednesday night.

There have been other teams that have had coaches with vast experience and success, yet, still couldn't produce. This coaching staff is different. Gibby is different. And the way he leads his staff is different. And the way they are involved and empowered is different.

The net-net is that the players are able to receive the full, unfiltered benefit of all this staff brings to the table - which is HUGE!

An objective point of view would be . . . home field advantage . . . in each of the first four games.

An unobjective view would be . . . I don't give a $hit. I want to see our D'backs win our game Friday night. C,mon, Ian!

That writer was really struggling to make everyone fit into his story angle. Have we spent a day worrying about Parra's "questionable base-stealing ability?" He's one of the fastest guys on the field most every day. *shrug* Isn't Miguel Montero pretty much the best all-around catcher in the NL this year? And Collmenter merely continued his previous domination of the Brewers.

The writer just sounds like someone who hasn't paid attention at all this year, though I know that's not the case. It's what happens when you pre-determine the angle of something just because it will make good copy.
