Dodgers @ Dbacks

[Ronin]

please hold this 1-0 lead.

 

[DWKB]

please hold this 1-0 lead.

Jinx and gone

 

[AZ Native]

Think how great this team would be if we could pitch just the first half of the game and bat just the first half the lineup.

 

[Dback Jon]

please hold this 1-0 lead.

Ray, Corbin and Bradley all struggle third time through a line up.

We should have them pitch 5 innings then out...

 

[Dback Jon]

Goldy comes thru with a single.

Now we him to get home with a score!

 

[FArting]

3-2 Dodgers

I'll give you pitching, but we've averaged more runs scored in Inn 6-9 than we have 1-4

Jon is right about the third time through the order killing our SPs. Inn 4/5 are our worst as a team.

Don't have a BP capable of handling that.

Interesting. I wonder how the RBIs and BA compare for 1-4 and 6-9.

Just have Ray pitch 5 inn, Bradley 4.
Corbin 5, Collmenter 4
Godley 5, Miller 4
Grienke can pitch all 9

More RBI and higher average in later innings, but it would be weird if it were not that way considering the RS.

 

[Dude]

Ahmed, Ahmed, Ahmed. Just hit 235 please.

I kinda feel like there's no point commenting anymore unless it's to discuss future moves. I think it is what it is at this point, the same thing game after game. They have a lead, they blow it, they have a great game followed by 2 or 3 catastrophes. Most importantly when we play teams like the Cubs and Dodgers it's pretty clear that we are not on their level. So discouraging.

At this point some of us need a miracle to win the predictions from earlier this year (see below). I know, I know, Pollock is hurt, but all teams have to deal with injuries (and suspensions).

I couldn't believe some were calling us a .500 team, now we have to rally to get there. Anyone want to have an updated poll, just for the heck of it?

BTW, we are on pace for 69 wins.

In order to just get to 81-81 we would need to play .553 ball over the next 94 games. Only 6 teams in MLB are playing better than that currently.

We need to get Shelby back and right and go on a run to get there. They're capable if he's right.

I really don't see it, but then I saw this team as a .500 team before the season started.
