OT: Bellinger hits another HR today. I think its obvious this dude is juicing and has been juicing for quite sometime now. However, MLB roid testing policy is a joke.

That’s just talent. If anyone were juicing (and I don’t think they are) it would be Trout not Bellinger/Yelich.

It's the ball that's "juiced". There may be other explanations, but the ball is flying for everyone this season.

In the 8th, under the score on the TV screen, they showed
the D-backs star of the game so far.

Marte who got a triple to start the bottom of the 1st for
his only hit.

Our first batter of the game. Now, that's funny!

Peralta with a single through the open left side of the infield
to drive in a run. It's about time someone used their head.

And Escobar hits one to the opposite field for a single.

Runners on 1B and 2B with one out.Tying run at the plate.

Walker swinging wildly twice and strikes out. So much for
Peralta's and Escobar's brief example of intelligent baseball.

Locastro hitting for Lamb to face the lefty just brought in.
Fly ball to RF and two runners are left on base.

To Walker’s credit that strike 3 was outside and was a ball. But, he didn’t help himself by swinging at those early sliders out of the zone

Former closer Greg Holland in to pitch the top of the 9th.

A walk, a stolen base, a throwing error and a wild pitch and
it's 7-3 with no one out. And another walk by Holland.

Then a fly out to the warning track. Damn juiced ball. :)

And a double play.

The Phillies closer is in with a 4-run lead.

Jones whiffs.

Ahmed reaches on a dropped ball by the SS.

Kelly, who missed out on some near hits,
ends it with a DP.

The D-backs are back under .500. Ho hum!

I believe it's a mental thing. When the starting pitching gets rocked, the offense seems to check out.

Remember in the beginning of the season, they would always find away to come back. Not much of that anymore.
