I wonder if today will be the day of decision regarding Corbin's remaining in the starting rotation.

 

[Ronin]

Three things to know about this game
• Corbin has thrown his changeup less than 10 percent of the time this season, but opponents have hit five home runs against it. Those homers account for 20.8 percent of their batted balls against the changeup, the highest rate for any pitcher with at least 20 batted balls allowed on that pitch type.

• Corbin has allowed at least three earned runs in seven straight starts and has struggled early on in games. He has a 12.46 first-inning ERA, while opponents own a 1.258 OPS against him in the first inning this season.

• This is the first meeting this season between the D-backs and Phillies. Arizona won last year's season series, 4-3, sweeping a four-game set in Philadelphia, while the Phillies won all three games in Phoenix. Over the past seven seasons, the Phillies hold the series lead with 26 wins to Arizona's 18.

If Corbin struggles against the worst lineup in the league I'd hope so. I was curious on the betting lines, and Vegas has the Phillies favorites at -120! So basically we will have around 8 players who are better both on offense and defense than them. Against their very mediocre pitcher. But our pitcher is so terrible he can negate any advantages we might have and then some!

Even if Corbin finds a way to do well against a terrible team, it's just not enough. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes, maybe today Corbin finds his.

Nice play by Drury. "He threw it from his wallet" lol. He is getting more acclimated at 2nd base and his hitting has picked up. We need his bat and also we need all the defense we can get.

Owings benefits from an error

Corbin 6 up 6 down, now 9 up and 9 down

This strike zone is wildly inconsistent pitch to pitch. Like he does a mental coin flip regardless of location to decide

#Phillies Cameron Rupp takes Corbin deep and it’s a 2-2 game. Rupp had been 6 for his last 58 coming into the at bat. #Dbacks

Well the Phillies are ranked around 27th in offense this year..... Corbin is 0-5 on the road with a 9.00 era. Something had to give lol

 

[Ronin]

4-2 Phillies.

To be fair only 2 runs were earned and we are playing virtually anyone in the outfield and our defense is suffering because of it.

 

[AZ Native]

4-4

Blanco 2 run HR ... Tie game

That ball was out of there quick

 

[Bert]

Blanco!!

This guy has to stay on the roster. He's not an all star or anything but he just adds something to this lineup.

Well you gotta remember that they have legal pot in Colorado so they probably have to actually give out more free tacos,,,, so if it were only 5 Taco Bell would go out of business.
