Dbacks vs. Marlins series thread

Gonzalez against Moehler in the first game tomorrow.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

moehlers first start in a while going for nolasco who has seemed to show some wear as the season has gone on

seems these teams may be going in different directions - I like the marlins matchups in general this series, but moehler could have a bad outing and strain the pen for the rest of the games - so tommorrow's game makes me nervous

These teams ARE going in different directions, have been for weeks. Every team has a better matchup against us, except for when some guy named Webb pitches

 

[MigratingOsprey]

yep - was glad to not see webb or livan on this trip (livan always shows up against the fish in miami)

looks like moehler needed 4 runs to shake off the rust and gonzalez seems to be dealing fairly well - hopefully the second time through will be better for the fish

Why inthe world is Counsell playing> Is Drew still hurt? Also, why did they bring up Montero if he is going to sit on the bench? He could be helping the Sidewinders in their playoff series against Salt Lake City.

 

[boondockdrunk]

We are all about these leads....

Give up 6 runs in the 6th. Marlins up 6-5

Drew is still struggling with his hand. He could have played but the team wants him to rest it when possible.

 

[Card Trader]

Counsell is done. Get that guy out of the lineup.

Man what a horrible way to lose a game atleast the dbacks offense showed up for once and of course the pitching doesnt oh well get them tommrow

 

[Stallion]

Yikes. Guess the D-backs took Labor Day weekend off too.

Go next year.

 

[mjb21aztd]

I just dont understand how you can play this horrible when your in the playoff race i mean getting swept by the nationals... and then losing a game like that last night vs flordia ugh ill be cherring the dbacks on for the rest of the year though since they are my favorite team

You can play this horrible because you're not a good team.

Face it, the Dbacks were only a "playoff contender" because the rest of the NL is awful. But this team is not a legit playoff contender, they haven't been all year. What they are is a mediocre ball club with a below average manager. Put those two together, and you get what you see.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

a nice showing by vargas tonight

tommorrow will decide the series - one the marlins cannot afford to lose with a philly showdown looming

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Edgar Gonzalez is getting the spot start tomorrow.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Great win by the dbacks to bad were pretty much out of the playoff race great to see us get a shutout win though

Valverde, back as closer with 3 K's and 1 BB in the ninth.

His stint at Tucson produced good results in regaining his confidence and swagger.

What's the name of the Manager there? Oh yeah, Chip Hale.

 

[Stallion]

Way to go, Claudio!

And great to see CQ with a long ball.

Same old story. Papa Fatso starts out year well coming out of spring training when he's forced to get in shape. A month of living the high life and getting a nice food per diem gets some pounds on him and Valverde starts getting rocked. Goes back tothe minors and gets back in shape due to less money and horrible minor league food and comes back and finshes the year strong.

And we should have traded Julio as I suggested when we had the chance and he briefly got back in shape. His weight problems are Papa Grande-esque only Julio's ten years older and gets much fatter.

Great pitching by Anibal Sanchez combined with horrific AB after horrific AB leads to a no hitter.

Seriously does anyone on this team have any idea what GD strike zone is?

Congrats to Sanchez though

 

[IndyDevil]

Wow.

The season has now come to a crashing end - - we just let a rookie pitcher throw a NO-HITTER against us!!

Get the vets off the field and bring up the rest of the yoots!!

 

[MigratingOsprey]

wow - my man anibal sanchez comes up with a no-no

as always there was some good defense involved

hope the marlins can get some punch back for the phillies - but it's amazing what these pitchers have done this year - two rookies with ERAs under 3

The only vets on the field were O-dogg, Gonzo and Byrnes.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Man its horrible when your favorite team has the other team throw a no hitter against you ugh what a pathatic last month by the dbacks I guess this just tops it off...

 

[devilalum]

We've officially hit rock bottom.

 

[IndyDevil]

Sorry, I meant to say "get the remaining vets off the field!"

What sucks is that our record is what most of us thought it would be (sub .500), yet we are capable of so much more! Would one true power hitter in our lineup make that much offensive difference?
