Wow how in the world do we still have a 4 game lead in our division with the way we have been playing that is just funny... Well atleast we have Webb going today so we have a good shot of winning this game, but it would be nice if the offense could wake the hell up and get more then one fing run a game GO DBACKS GET BACK ON THE WINNING SIDE

 

[Phxchris1989]

Because the NL West is terrible, again.

 

[Skkorpion]

I'm ready. It starts in one hour from now. My TV will be on, with sound muted while Sutton and Grace amuse themselves instaed of calling the game.

Thom Brenneman was intolerable and these two clowns are worse. Radio for me, even though they are about 3 seconds ahead of the picture.

 

[PoolBoy]

wow tell us how you really feel Skkorp.


bases loaded strike out....come on offense.

The worst part is Mark Grace talking to Sutton the whole game, instead of to us, the fans.

His ideas are excellent. His presentation wears thin. "He should be running, Darren Sutton." "That's an error, Darren Sutton." "You are correct, Darren Sutton."

(The two of them taking turns complimenting each other is like the way Ed McMahon used to kiss-ass with Johnny Carson.)

Boooooooring!

i love their broadcast.

 

[mjb21aztd]

thank god Webb is pitching a great game so far because our offense is still playing crap... But good triple for young first for him this season and upton brings him in with a fly out rbi nice 2-0 dbacks 5th inning

 

[Phxchris1989]

2-0 Dbacks in the Sixth. Webb's pitching a good game so far

i love their broadcast.

Me too, they bring some life to the broadcast. It's better than the Rockies guys, talk about a snorefest, holy God.


Edit: Ha! Make it 3-0, Webb gets an RBI single

i love their broadcast.

So do i and i think that most of the fans do to with all of the signs and what not. There will always be the few people that dont like them. funny thing is grace isnt even announcing this game.

 

[Ryanwb]

No excuses in this series...

 

[Phxchris1989]

Dbacks win! It's about time guys!

 

[mjb21aztd]

Very good win for the dbacks Webb is so automatic, still not a great job by the offense but atleast we managed to get Webb a few runs which is all you need for him. The bats better wake up a little more these next two games though GO DBACKS BEAT THE PIRATES

 

[Skkorpion]

Very nice win. Loved it.

On announcers, to each his own.

Bring on tomorrow's game.

 

[PoolBoy]

hopefully haren will follow up webb like he did last time. go dbacks!

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

In injury news, Jackson should get the start today. Eric Byrnes was running agility drills yesterday and said that he felt no pain.

Who else remembers when everyone was so down on Lyon after about 3 appearances?

Nice win, but the offense still is not back on track. At least they got down some bunts and Young did attempt a stolen base. Slowly getting back to our strength.

 

[mjb21aztd]

way to get the 2nd game of the series Haren pitched very well this game, and a great hr by Snyder to give the dbacks the 4-3 lead to seal it great job dbacks good win

 

[Phxchris1989]

Offense came to life at the start, but fell apart. Thank God for that Snyder HR.

Lyon did very good. I wont lie, I was a bit nervous watching his first starts, but he's proved me wrong so far (Keep it up )

 

[Skkorpion]

Watched it. Loved it.

Also, give me Matt Williams as the commentator over Mark Grace any and every day. Williams almost overcomes Darren Sutton's ignoring critical action at the wrong time to talk about inane-ties.

I do like Sutton's sense of humor and my guess is it's the broadcast director who decides the style of broadcast. The quick cutaways to fans with signs or cute kids, then switching back just in time to see a Dbak swing, then cutaway again immediately and so on for a whole game.

More schlok than baseball. Yech.

Im surprised Williams hasnt been jettisoned from this team yet with the HGH incident lingering. I guess the FO has his back

 

[PoolBoy]

man this thread rules. 2 straight wins. take that Shzm

 

[dogpoo32]

Ugh... Davis gives up 5 in 4. Here comes Scherzer. Time to get the bats working.

Also, what a play by Hudson in the 2nd. Amazing.

 

[TJ]

Wow, this team is just absolutely frustrating to watch these days

 

[Nasser22]

Reynolds hits his second home run of the game to give us a chance here. 6-4

This team is frustrating, but it's no different than what we saw last year and I feel we have a better team than we did before. These guys will pick it up in time. At the very least I see us winning this division.
