Plus he hasn’t pitched past 5 innings in his last three starts.

So I have hope for the offense tonight

He will be lights out tonight and leave in the 7th in a shut out.

Well maybe not as I've notice the dbacks offense hits like crazy every other game, so this is one of the games.

 

[Ronin]

swing the bat Souza!

 

[Shaggy]

Ray not doing so hot.

 

[Shaggy]

Well my first assignment of Harvey pitching lights out still stands. It's the dbacks that are making him look good.

 

[BC867]

It looks like, as well as Torey settling on a starting lineup for the stretch run except at Catcher . . . well, that may not be an exception any more.

Because Mathis seems to be the best handler of pitchers, his catching skills have become priority now that the rest of the lineup are above the Mendoza Line.

In addition to Mathis being the designated catcher for two pitchers in the starting lineup, today adds a third, Robbie Ray. With the left handed hitting Avila as a backup.

It is a long standing concept. Use your best catcher and handler of pitchers. Batting skill in the #8 spot is not the priority. I support it! The pitchers themselves who control half of the game include their catcher.

 

[Dback Jon]

Feel free to Score some runs D backs

Had I known I only needed to post for it to happen I would’ve been doing it more often

Keep up the good work!

 

[Dback Jon]

And Robby Promptly gives a run back

 

[Dback Jon]

Giving up a game tying singles to the pitcher Robbie ray you are the weakest link

 

[Dback Jon]

And now idiotic baserunning

Rey should’ve been on 30 either from his triple or sac fly what the fudge is he thinking

 

[Dback Jon]

He should’ve scored You should’ve been on third with a triple and scored on the sac fly Bobby Ray needs to be cut

 

[Ronin]

Why are the boo birds coming out?

 

[Ronin]

Welp that was a quick inning for the offense.

 

[Ronin]

Robbie Ray is over 100 pitches, I wonder if he is coming to pitch the 6th or not.

 

[Ronin]

Good work Ziegler.

 

[Ronin]

Promising inning ends as Mathis hits into the double play.

 

[Ronin]

Archie Bradley coming in.
Chafin gave up a single to Billy Hamilton.

 

[Ronin]

Good job Archie.

 

[Ronin]

Peralta! WooWoo!

 

[BC867]

Peralta! WooWoo!

Yup, our new Mr. Clutch. 107 mph off the bat.

 

[BC867]

I think I heard Steve say that The Freight Train is hitting over .400 since the All Star break.

 

[Ronin]

3-2 Dbacks.
New pitcher coming for the Reds.
2 out. Goldy on third base.

Amazing that the home run was his first hit of the series. He was 0 for 3 in this game prior to the hr.
