I really hope Chase Anderson can have a bounce back performance. He's pitched with such confidence this year, don't want to see that ruined.

Anderson looking very sharp - has struck out Stanton 3 times already!
Goldy and Peralta continue to rake!! Even Prado hit one out tonight... Go figure...

Steve and BB were talking about what to do with Peralta when Trumbo comes back, as he is close to doing.

The question should be what to do with Trumbo when he comes back.

Peralta is our second best hitter. I suggest that when Trumbo plays LF, Peralta moves to RF and Parra to CF. It would diminish our fielding, but you can't have everything.

Personally, as much as I love Parra's arm, his speed has slowed down and his hitting sucks. Peralta makes him expendable in RF.

Especially when Pollock is ready to take back CF, joining Peralta, Parra and Trumbo as starting outfielders.

In the outfield, Peralta is now #1.

At this stage, I think it prefer Inciarte over Parra! So out Peralta in right and Ender in CF. Parra's base running is the worst on the team and his hitting has failed us far too often.... I would out Parra in CF in games where we have a lead going into the later innings... But that's it.

I don't get it! They let Cody Ross hit against the righty, with us leading by only a run, knowing that Peralta will immediately replace him in LF for defensive purposes.

Can anyone think of a reason why Kirk Gibson didn't pinch hit one of our two best hitters -- Peralta -- for Ross against the righty pitcher? And he didn't even do a double-switch to get Peralta up before the pitcher in the 8th.

BTW, Ross' only skill is doing OK vs. lefty pitchers. Or maybe not. He went 0-4 with a lefty starter tonight.

There is something strange going on inside Gibson's head. :bang:

Another stellar outing from a KT closer. Please put both of these clowns on a direct flight out of town asap.

An idiot I think. Rocks are rattling. Removing his head from the DARK place would not help.

I didn't see the post-game interview. I wonder if Gibson threw a temper tantrum at the Press again and said, "Reed had one bad game." as he did a week ago.

And, sure enough, if he had batted Peralta for Cody Ross (the only D-back starter without a hit), we would have had a better chance to get an insurance run. And the 2-strike 2-out 2-run homer by the Marlins would only have tied the score.

It is a sad situation when D-backs fans have more baseball knowledge than the "manager". Kirk Gibson and Alan Trammel need to go at the All Star break. Bring Brenly down from the booth.
