Dbacks vs Padres Series

[Nasser22]

Was anyone else a little scared after Kouz hit that one? :-o

 

[mjb21aztd]

come on dbacks we really need to score soon we need to take these next two games bad...

 

[mjb21aztd]

man another blown chance hudson on 2nd and 1 out and cant bring him home ugh

 

[mjb21aztd]

man they shouldve really just let upton try and make it home that inning he might have made it... We have left way to many guys on base this game not good

 

[Nasser22]

The good thing is we still have a good chance at the playoffs and by the time we get there that'll be the time when the offense goes through another 3 week hot streak. Owings is pitching well too now.

 

[Stallion]

Upton and the DH with back-to-back hits but Young can't get them in.

I think it's next score wins with these 2 bullpens.

 

[Stallion]

8 strong for Micah! Let's win this thing!!

 

[JS22]

they should have really sent upton.

 

[HooverDam]

Ah attack of the Melvin! Taking out Owings was completely stupid, that was his best outing in a long while, and he only had 94 pitches.

But like has been said, Hale screwed up when he didn't send Upton, who's probably the fastest guy on the team.

 

[Stallion]

Slaton gives up a single and Lyon gives up a double. It's Hoffman time.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Ah crap.

 

[mjb21aztd]

wtf man this sucks another loss to the padres because were not getting two runs against hoffman perfect....

 

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks will now have one more loss than the Padres and Young throwing for San Diego tomorrow.

 

[Nasser22]

3 game lead in wild card...ugh...

Maybe tomorrow?

 

[Stallion]

Man, Lyon is getting knocked around. This series has been a nightmare.

Anyone got a miracle to spare for the 9th?

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

and he only had 94 pitches.

Which non-coincidentally is the point at which Owings typically falls apart.

He usually falls apart earlier...I'm glad to see he lasted longer this time. He hit the wall and now he's back to pitching well which is a positive thing to take out of this terrible series.

good lord

Looks like no hoffman time tonight, so who knows!

I'm not sure about the exact number of pitches, but I believe Owings usually 'falls apart' much earlier than that. What would've been the harm in sending him back out? If he lets a guy on, then you pull him, not before hand because you have some bizarre hunch.

I don't know why you defend Melvins call in this situation when the results clearly show he botched the call. He pulled Owings, the Dbacks are now trailing. Leave Owings in, and maybe the same would've happened, but I'd rather stick with a hot hand than switch out.

That's a break. Make it happen, bats!

Yeah, heaven forbid the team uses their 8th inning guy who has been solid all year in the uh... 8th inning.

Hindsight is 20/20, and saying that the results prove that it was the wrong call is laughable. If Valverde blows a save, is it the fault of the coaching staff for putting him out there in a save situation? According to your logic, the results would say yes even though we know that is clearly not the case.

 

[Stallion]

not so far 1 out

2.

C'mon Reynolds!!

Er, Salazar!
