So let's see, we're in the third inning and Byrnes has already had an awful throwing error and has grounded out on ball four where the pitch was at least 18 inches too low. Not a good start, this guy has got to turn it around.

Just as Tony Womack (who started every season batting leadoff, then dropped to eighth, then eventually let go), I don't believe that Eric Byrnes has the intelligence to turn it around.
Just a couple of days ago, the Republic ran a new photo of Byrnes holding the bat over his head on one of his extreme uppercut follow-throughs.
From his waist to over his head. Un-freaking-believable.

The difference is that Tony Womack has two of the three most important hits in team history.

That is true. But if only he had the maturity to fulfill his potential as a leadoff hitter, game after game, season after season.

Dbacks finally get some runs scoring 6 huge game by reynolds with two doubles and chris young also had a nice double to bring in two runs. Lets hope this game can maybe turn things around and the dbacks go on a nice little streak and Webb is finally looking like his oldself again pitching a great game
Enjoyed it very much. Now we need to follow it up with another win, otherwise, this game might be a meaningless blip.
I think this is the game that will turn things around. I wasn't convinced during the previous high-scoring games throughout this slump, but this was encouraging. They scored with line drive hits and not home runs. The guys were swinging at good pitches for the most part. Now of course they have to win tomorrow and then take 2 out of 3 in the next series and after this, I believe that's what they'll do. July will be good to the DBacks this season.

good game by the dbacks so far Haren is pitching amazing and good to see the dbacks get some run support for him, now hopefully the bullpen can come in and close the deal we need this win.

Lyon picked a real bad time to fall apart. The defense didn't help much either. At least all four Marlins fans in attendance enjoyed it.
Thank you Mr. Pena and Mr. Lyon for pissing away another game.... and this game has some importance as it would have given us some momentum going into our home stand. Instead, we come back home a .500 club, perhaps only 1 1/2 games in first. Each of these clowns should have their kneecaps broken by Mr. Haren himself.
What an enormous disappointment. Man do we ever suck big time....

Haren pitched a great game but I blame him partly for the loss. Starters that never pitch more than 7 innings are definitely not as valuable as the ones that can finish games.
The Dbacks had this same problem back in 2001 but they got a lot of complete games out of Schil and Randy. Haren won't be elite in my mind until he can finish a game every once in awhile.

I dont think today's pitchers have the stamina that they used to.Haren left with a 105 pitch count. Managers get anxiety if their starters go over 100. Used to be back in the day that the magic number was 125, but so many pitchers were throwing out their arms.
Also, I think the heat and humidity in Miami played a role. Dont blame Haren at all for this loss. 0 ER in 7 innings. Blame the lack of offense and bullpen pitching (like is the case with every one of our losses these days)

My god Melvin is an idiot.
Runner on third, first base open. Cantu has a 2-0 count. Yes, that Cantu who LOVES hitting with RISP. WALK HIM!!!
I'm yelling at the t.v. "WALK HIM!"
Next pitch, strike for 2-1, Candiotti says "You don't have to pitch to him, first base is open" I'm nodding my head and saying "Did you hear that Melvin? Walk him". Stupid me is fully expecting Montero to stand up and issue the intentional. Next pitch, game over.
Idiot.

0 earned runs in 7 innings and you partly blame him?
First, it probably wasn't his call. Second, when your arm hasn't been conditioned for years to throw 120+ pitches, you can't just expect to all of a sudden be effective when you have reached 105+.
It's the nature of pitching in today's game. It's about money and the value of a starter's arm.

I've seen this before. When your bullpen is struggling teams get in a mode where their only motive is to get the starters pitch count up and get to the bullpen. And they are struggling right now.
It's not really Haren's fault but I stand by my assertion that pitchers that can't go over 100 pitches and/or finish games should not be considered elite.
This one hurt more than many. Maybe yesterday was an aberration.
