Diamondbacks at Reds official series topic!

[82CardsGrad]

By far the biggest series of the year for our boys! They did their part in taking the series with the Pirates. 5 games behind the Reds for that final Wildcard slot. Need to split this series at worst, though, if we can grab 3 of 4, would be great. If we lose 3 I really believe our season will have ended.
Go get 'em fellas!!

 

[Dback Jon]

Gotta get at least the split. Dbacks are playing well as of late

 

[Nasser22]

Sweep! Let's go!!!

And if we could finish the series in under 40 total innings, that would be great...

As long as we win them, don't care how long they take.

Like I said, this series is easily the biggest of the season for us... 4 games against the team you trail by 5. Huge!
After this series, we're done with Cincy and we're already done with St. Louis. We have 7 HUGE games left against the Dodgers... a 3 game series on 9/9th, 10th and 11th in LA, and then what should be a monster 4 game series AT HOME the following week!
We have our chances to take care of business... Starting with game 1 tonight!

 

[Dback Jon]

Go Dbacks ! Game underway

Kubel starting - should we just put down an 0-4?

 

[Dback Jon]

Eaton stays hot, gets a single
Goldy gets a single - two on, 1 out

Then Hill GIDP

Well, what if he actually tips a few/fouls a few off?? I would be surprised if he actually gets his bat on the ball at all!

Baby steps, I guess

 

[Dback Jon]

Delgado gets the Reds down 1-2-3 in the first.

0-0 after one

Kubel starts 3-0, then strikes out swinging

Kubel - first at-bat: 1 foul tip... and of course, a swinging strike out after getting the count to 3 & 0. Beyond pathetic!

 

[Dback Jon]

Dbacks go down 1-2-3 in the 2nd

 

[82CardsGrad]

Down a run early... so, I'm sure we won't take it seriously until the 7th inning or so, when we're down a few more... That's just the way we roll...

 

[Dback Jon]

Phillips leads off with triple, eventually scores.

1-0 Reds after two

 

[Dback Jon]

Hill homers!!

 

[Dback Jon]

Ugh. 3 runs in so far for Reds

 

[globaldistrust]

Delgado has gone Delcrappo in the 4th.

 

[AZ Native]

Down 1-5, 5th inning, no bullpen, this one is over.

 

[thirty-two]

Prado with a huge clutch single with bases loaded. 5-3 Cincy

 

[thirty-two]

Down 2 in the 9th. Kubel, Nieves and Didi are up... lol

 

[Dback Jon]

Kugel actually gets a hit. Then DP

 

[82CardsGrad]

Need to win 2 of the next 3... or kiss this season goodbye.

I know what you are saying 82, but there are too many variables and too many games left. As Yogi said, "it ain’t over till it’s over". While I'm at it, my favorite "You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours."
