Diamondbacks/Cubs series thread

[Lefty]

Maybe it's time to give Clayton a day off and play Cintron. Alex had a huge spring.

It looks like we're going to go with a big inning offense this year. Both Clayton and Ortiz were swinging away with men on 1st and 2nd and no outs.

I've been saying that the past year

Lyon comes in and gets the job done after Koplove lets in a run. 5-4 bottom of the 8th.

 

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks win 5-4. Lyon gets the save and Gonzo gets the MVP of the game. Let's take the rubber game tomorrow.

Other than the hanging curveball to Hollinsworth, I thought Ortiz pitched a great game tonight. Koplove looked great in the 7th, but unraveled a bit in his second inning of work; Lyon picked up the pieces rather nicely.

Now let's see the mighty Webb sinker at work tomorrow night, and take the series from the Cubs!!

And what a defensive display by Clayton to end the game! I dont care how many strikeouts he has if he keeps making plays like that.

 

[BOB_Man24]

nice play by Clayton to end the game. I do appreciate his solid defense...

 

[IndyDevil]

What a great day: D'Backs - WIN! Suns - WIN, and knock the Lakers out of the playoffs in the process!!!

 

[WildBB]

Ortiz pitched a decent game. For his 1st outing here he was the skid stopper. Thats what the #2 needs to do.

I didn't think the 9th inning play was that great...it more seemed that he fell on his knees and just made the play more difficult than what it shoulda have been....

It was just a bit above average pickup. Most shortstops should get to the ball. It was a nice throw. Overall, I think it looked much better because no d-backs shortstop in a long time makes that play. Cintron might in the 3rd inning but not in the 9th.

Thats a better analysis. Clayton made the play - game over.

.500! I'll take it.

[Brandon_Webb]

Ryan Dumpster is back huh.

 

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks up 3-0. Tracy looks like a different player. Looks like he has a lot more confidence. This team is going to hit. It's going to be fun to watch.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

4-0

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

And now 6-0. WOOO!

 

[Lefty]

Two outs and no one on and Clayton gets it going with a walk. Gonzo, Glaus and Green follow with hits. 6-0 Diamondbacks!

 

[thirty-two]

it's nice to see us getting some hits with 2 outs...

Indeed. Cruz picks up another. 7-0.

 

[Lefty]

Cruz hits a double and it's now 7-0. This is a totally different team then last year. Thank God!
