Good start as the Diamondbacks lead 2-0. Counsell triples in Terrero and Stinnett.

Counsell drives in his third run as the Diamondbacks take the lead 4-3 after six. Aquino coming in to pitch the 7th. :eek:

Cormier blows a 7-3 lead and the Marlins still hitting in the 8th. I hate it when a pitcher has a big lead and he walks guys. And I thought the bullpen could pitch effectively for two games in a row. :shrug:

Cormier's just been fried.

Leaving the bases loaded in the 7th and the 8th innings and getting no runs doesn't say much for the offense, either.

7-3 lead is sure enough for most teams, but not for this bullpen. Gonzo striking out with the bases loaded and one out really hurt.

This game shows the difference between a playoff team and a non playoff team.

Medders in for the 11th. Marlins get a leadoff single.

Diamondbacks win 8-7 as Q gets the game-winning hit. Much needed win. Q gets the game MVP as he collects four hits tonight. :thumbup:

I always liked that McCracken guy. :D

I'm guessing the Takatsu rumors will heat up him being DFA'd and Cormier/Valverde throwing volleyballs although I'm thinking hitters have figured out Mr. Zero's stuff. It's worth a try IMO but I'm not optimistic considering his flyball pitching and lack of control this year. But you never know, changing leagues can sometimes do wonders.

Florida took a 5-0 lead but Diamondbacks are fighting as Clayton gets a huge 2-run triple to make it 6-3 after six.

How can Melvin bat Hill in the 8th? I would of taken my chance with Clark and seeing if they would of pitched to him. You just knew Hill was not going to get a hit. I wonder what Melvin was thinking? I assuming Stinnett was available.

Stinnet was put on the DL today, making room for Hill. Regardless of whether they would have walked Clark or not, the issue would have been the team having nobody to catch.

Is Snyder available? By the way, Medders and Koplove looked very good tonight. Koplove was even animated after finishing the top of the 9th. Maybe the offense can get it going. Rally time!

Webb pitches tonight. Let's hope he brings his A game. His era the last four games is 5.33.

Can someone convince me not to write C. Snyder off as a not ready for prime time player?

Great googly moogly! This team is hard to watch. Where is that remote? Marlins up 6-2. Webb a should be Allstar? I think not.

The team is mediocre at best. They don't have a single area that I can really identify as a strength.

Hitting - mediocre
Starting Pitching - mediocre
Relief Pitching - not mediocre, unfortunately

Fielding - mediocre I thought this would be better but Glaus is a liability. How many bunt singles has this guy given up? Gonzo is slow weak arm.

On their best day this is a mediocre team. On their worst days they are one of the worst teams in baseball.

SELL BABY SELL

8-2 this is horrible.

Stick a fork in Webb. 8-2. Way to hang your pitcher out to dry, Melvin.

Grace said it. Webb just quit.

Man this team stinks.

Trade anybody you can and play some young guys.

There are some who think Snyder is a major league catcher. The guy has shown nothing. Why he and Cruz are playing is beyond me.
