Dbacks vs Devil Rays series thread

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Livan Hernandez takes on the struggling Edwin Jackson (ERA over eight) in the first game of the series tomorrow at Chase Field.

The only teams currently with a record over .500 still on the schedule for the Diamondbacks are Atlanta, Milwaukee, plus three division rivals in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Colorado. Only a game out of first, Arizona is still very much in this thing and I wouldn't be surprised if our season one way or another goes right down to the wire. However, there's still a ton of baseball to be played and they absolutely must play the rest of the NL West tough from here on out.

Wow, that's pretty crazy. Another reason to be very happy with our current record.

You're right, where the team ends up will depend entirely on how we play against the rest of the NL West but we sure can't blame anything on the schedule.

This is one good team. I think if we can get a trade for a nice power hitter mid season we could make a serious run. Our pitching has been great, and you can see how good our offense can be when a guy like Reynolds comes in and hits like he did. This will be a very dangerous team if we can get a guy who can consistently hit with power. Not sure I'll be watching this game if it's during ASU's match-up vs. the Beavers.

Two runs off one of the worst pitchers in the majors.

Where is the "Why doesn't anybody go to DBacks games?" thread? This is exactly why. Why would anybody pay to watch this? You can nearly count on a sweep for the Rays because the DBacks offense is pathetic and they nearly always make terrible pitchers look like Cy Young candidates. Happens time and time again. It is barely worth my time let alone actually paying money.

I was kind of pulling for Harris to hit for the cycle there...

No, I started playing Fight Night Round 3...both games were hard to watch.

10-2 DRays. Just brutal. 5 hits against arguably the worst staff in the league, at home. DBacks have still never beaten the DRays! Once again, DBacks make terrible pitching appear lights out... Discuss.

Holy crap, the team just bounced back with a decent sweep of the Orioles and is right in the thick of a playoff hunt and you are moaning over one game and are already willing to call it a sweep? Talk about a knee jerk reaction.

Jackson looked pretty good today. His fastballs were hitting the mid-upper 90's throughout the innings he pitched. He's still got potential...

I was at the game today. Pretty disgusted. I left after the Diamondbacks were down 6-2 (First time I've ever left during a game).

He came in with an ERA over 8.00. When the Diamondbacks are not hitting, they will make any pitcher look like Cy Young.

This is a big homestand and they need to take the next two against Tampa.

 

[Diawsome]

and to think that Edwin Jackson was the guy who killed the Randy Johnson/LA Dodgers trade back in 2004.

Gotta get that fixed quick. I guess they're really mad at us for winning that championship.

Trust me, I know his ERA. He's pitching awful this year. But 3-4 years ago the guy was dubbed an upcoming ace pitcher. He looked good last night. His velocity was there.

The Diamondbacks are of course going to be a team that can't manage to score runs. Look at our payroll. We have no big names in our lineup. Our pitching staff carries us. You can't expect a team without a big RBI guy to be a true run producing team. Who's our big RBI guy? Byrnes? Pretty pathetic if you ask me...

 

[mjb21aztd]

for the love of god can we please beat the drays tonight were due to win against them....

 

[DiamondBacks5117]

I think we will play better and be more focused. after that performance last night.

I have seen him pitch a couple of times this year and he is not that good. There are many guys who are tagged can't miss but never live up to the hype. Just look at Travis Lee.

By the way, I can't believe the Diamondbacks are down 3-0 in the first.

Wow Davis has been really off lately and the struggles against Tampa continue, its so bizarre.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

It just seems like the DBacks are having a hard time getting out of their own way this series. Howell struggles mightily, walks the bases full, walks in a run, and then Young and Snyder strike out swinging at balls! What is going on?

 

[Ryanwb]

Deja Vu?

And this is different from the Red Sox and Yankee series how???

 

[devilalum]

Hudson with the Golden Sombrero.

Twice with the bases loaded.

And he's our clutch hitter?

Pathetic!

And both times he struck out looking. I hate games like these.
