Cardinals vs. D-backs series thread

[mjb21aztd]

come on Reyonlds big at bat here got to get one more run in with our bullpen heh

 

[mjb21aztd]

ugh Reyonlds fails to get a run in with bases loaded now up to Young with two outs

 

[Desert Rat]

Homers all around, two relievers ejected, a cycle for fever-sticken Drew (first Chase Field cycle), a go-ahead RBI for Eckstein's (his first as a D-back), what a game! It wasn't looking very good while Randy was in there. All this and the seventh isn't over. What lunacy will shake down next?

 

[mjb21aztd]

how Spring throwing a wild pitch to bring in a run with two outs and 0-2 to young now 8-6 dbacks

 

[mjb21aztd]

Alright come on bullpen buckle the heck down and get this done

 

[Desert Rat]

Yes this would indeed be a huge win espcially consdering the Padres lost to the Rockies today, and by the way good inning by Qualls in the 7th

The Padres are playing the Dodgers later (thus my earlier Go Padres comment). The Rockies beat the Giants.
Qualls is the pitcher of record right now, hopefully it stays that way.

 

[mjb21aztd]

eh I meant the giants thanks for correcting my mistake desert rat

 

[mjb21aztd]

sob come on Pena....

 

[mjb21aztd]

Wow what to go Pena making Pujols hit into a double play

 

[PoolBoy]

dirty play by the cardinals, i dont care what anyone says. pujols didnt even try to catch that.

 

[Lefty]

Melvin just cost the Diamondbacks a run by having Clark pinch run. Salazar would of scored if he was pinch running. Melvin has to be the dumbest manager.

Salazar was already used as a pinch hitter.

 

[Desert Rat]

Nope, there was no effort by Pujols to catch that throw that nailed Upton in the coconut. LaRussa's they kind of guy who would order a play like that. Maybe someone should spike Pujols on the next play to first base, then. (I don't condone things like that, well...)
The lunacy continues. Drew is working on another cycle .

There's no way that was intentional. If that ball is just a little off from where it was, Upton would have been standing on third.

My bad, I meant Romero.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

My bad, I meant Romero.

In Tucson.

 

[Dback Jon]

My bad, I meant Romero.

I was going to post that. Why the hell don't you put romero into run - and he can play the OF. That cost the Dbacks a run....



Fire Melvin.

 

[Dback Jon]

In Tucson.

No - he is listed as being a September call up, and CBS shows him on the bench. Remember, we added players today.

Hammock came up, and some guy named Josh Whitesell.

 

[Dback Jon]

woo hoo!! Dbacks win!!

Hammock was brought up today, the others are going to be called up tomorrow after Tucson's season is over. Unless something changed from when this was released.

Edit: MLB.com Gameday agrees with this.

 

[Lefty]

In Tucson.

I thought he was brought up today, my bad but Melvin could of had anyone like Hammock or Augie pinch run. Tony Clark is the last guy I would pinch run.

The good news is that the Diamondbacks won. Hopefully Maddux gets hit hard tonight.

 

[Desert Rat]

Great game! They must not pull the same crap like in the last series.

ditto - and Clark was not who I would I brought in to run.

 

[Nasser22]

Very nice win, but meaningless if they can't win at least one of the next two. It would be a great to win a series against a quality team like this to start off September.

 

[thirty-two]

Wow, what a game. I didn't think we'd be able to pull this one out, but I am glad to be wrong! Good game by Eckstein - he had some timely hits! And way to go Drew!!!
