Atlanta Braves @ Arizona Diamondbacks Sep 6 - Sep 9

[BC867]

And, hey, we've scored a run in the 8th. It's a 1-run game with runners on 1st and 3rd and two outs. And Descalso to pinch hit.

 

[Shaggy]

Or stop with the "HA HA I called it" remarks. That is glee+. We are all frustrated with the offense.

Wow seriously? It was basically a sarcastic ha ha. Not going to try and explain it here. I'm not gleeful at all. I'm tired of watching the dbacks shoot themselves in the foot each game. There defense and starting pitching has been lights out but yet their offense has disappeared.

Now in this inning they are coming around. Always hope it continues but I've been fooled several times before.

 

[BC867]

And the tying and lead runs are left on base.

 

[Shaggy]

DD not so clutch this time.

Barefoot has been so clutch, just not this time.

 

[BC867]

So, what do you guys think about the effect of the humidor?

Despite Greinke getting tagged early in this game.

 

[Shaggy]

Dbacks have struck out 12 times so far.

 

[AZ Native]

I don't like it. I would have left well enough alone. But in the end, it is the same for everyone.

 

[AZ Native]

Dbacks have struck out 12 times so far.

and still in the game.

 

[BC867]

No, it's not. The D-backs hitters have to deal with the humidor 81 times a season.

 

[AZ Native]

I'm sorry but "Ender In" anything is a very strange name.

 

[AZ Native]

No, it's not. The D-backs hitters have to deal with the humidor 81 times a season.

But so have the opposing teams.

 

[Shaggy]

Chafin always making it fun. Man he just can't get out of an inning clean when he pitches to more then one batter.

 

[BC867]

But so have the opposing teams.

I don't think it's the same. No other teams' hitters have to deal with it in half their games.

Just as opposing teams' hitters don't benefit as much as the Rockies, who are accustomed to Denver's mile high thin air. Psychology plays a role.

 

[Shaggy]

Awe Chafin...

 

[BC867]

Yeah, another run by Atlanta, with the Snake's weak hitters coming up in the bottom of the 9th.

 

[BC867]

Hmmm, Christian Walker with a pinch hitting lead off double in the 9th.

C'mon AJ, shake the slump.

 

[AZ Native]

Yes the hitters from opposing teams in Colorado do benefit. The total games played with the humidor are the same. The setting is the same for all. Our lack of production runs much deeper than the humidor.

I absolutely agree with you. I've been criticized here for theorizing that "lift" (popups and strikeouts) -- every hitter thinking he's Ted Williams -- is the cause. This is the National League but there is no strategy by management.

 

[BC867]

Sac fly -- 1-run game with bases empty and 1 out.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Goldy!!

 

[BC867]

Goldy ties it with a HR. Wow! A 3-hit game.

 

[AZ Native]

Goldy ties it

 

[Shaggy]

Way to go goldy!

 

[BC867]

The Freight Train singles. And Socrates Brito, a lefty up from the Minors, facing a lefty. He is a power hitter. But he grounds out. Extra innings.
