Arizona Diamondbacks @ Cincinnati Reds Aug 10 - Aug 12, 2018

[Ronin]

1-0 reds

 

[BC867]

We're playing three last place teams in a row. With a starting pitching staff that has been clicking.

It's time for most of our batters to stop seeing how high they can hit fly ball outs. Or toppers to the infield.

I want to see line drives.

 

[Ronin]

3rd strikeout of the game for Buchholz.

 

[Ronin]

4th strikeout by Buchholz. The last strikeout ended the inning.

 

[Ronin]

Welp..

 

[Shaggy]

Amazes me how up and down the hitting is for the dbacks.

 

[Ronin]

This reds pitcher is doing everything for his team, pitching,hitting.wow

 

[BC867]

A bunt and error for two runs. It was a suicide squeeze.

 

[Ronin]

Smart.

 

[BC867]

Smart.

Hatcher is an excellent bunter. Even easier with the shift on.

The Ted Williams shift used on a bunter. It makes no sense.

 

[Shaggy]

Was Avila walking to first?

 

[Shaggy]

Dumb loss. Buchholz pitched well but had zero help on offense. Finally got to him at the end.

 

[BC867]

P A T H E T I C ! The D-backs were beaten by S T R A T E G Y . A 2-run suicide squeeze.

And our L A C K of s t r a t e g y . Just keep hitting popups. P A T H E T I C !

Lovullo was outmanaged!

Bumping this thread when we miss the playoffs by 1 game.

Ted Williams frozen head in the cryonics lab in Scottsdale was heard to say, "Phoenix used my shift on a bunter? And they lost? What an insult! Are they out of their friggen minds? Turn off that damn TV. I don't want to see any more!"

I have a feeling that the Dbacks are going to struggle to get the offense going against Matt Harvey.

I think they will struggle against any pitcher until the 8th or 9th inning.

I think they will struggle against any pitcher until the 8th or 9th inning.

True. However, Matt Harvey was pitching pretty good before the trade deadline....so good that some people thought he would be traded before the deadline.

Can't beleive they lost yesterday?
Dbacks usually clean up in the garbage man unis.

The game is in a rain delay. Steve B. implied that it wouldn’t be a lengthy delay.
