I would much rather see Walker play than Lamb

Same here. I want the sweep.

This is not the time to make sure everyone plays. Being satisfied with winning the series isn't enough.

 

[BC867]

I can't help but wonder if Torey is not loosening up on his obsessions,
as he indicated he would, or if the saber metrics show that Lamb hits
Stripling and Walker does not (to a significant degree).

Even then, do you bench a hitter who is on a roll for a .201 hitter?

I'd like to hear what our Lovullo supporters think of that.

I thought we were all Lovullo supporters.

Bur seriously folks, saber metrics aside and not knowing what the coaches know, I personally would like to see Walker our there for this last game of the series.

 

[BC867]

1-out solo HR with one out in the top of the 1st. 1-0 Dodgers.

We have them just where we want them!

 

[BC867]

Another Dodger solo HR in the 3rd.

 

[BC867]

On the light side, I wonder why Jedd Gyorko pronounces his name Jerk-o(__)
instead of G'yorko or Yorko.

I know of families where adult kids use a different pronunciation of a family name.

Nothing personal, Jedd. 'Just wondering.

 

[BC867]

Three 1-out singles by the D-backs in the 4th and the bases
are loaded with Jake Lamb coming up.

Hey Lamb, “ [emoji238]If you think you’re gonna hit into a DP just strike out. “

A line drive comebacker by Lamb hits the pitcher May
in the head but he got up. Two runs score.

He is walking off the field, but they will check for a
concussion.

3-2 dbacks..baseloaded

And of course Avila hits into a double play to end the inning. Geesh he has stunk it up the last few months.

 

[BC867]

A single by the rookie Rojas and it's 3-2 D-backs. One out.

And the bases are loaded on a walk/passed ball.

Rojas' hit was by a lefty against a side-arming lefty.

Cron is in the on-deck circle to pinch-hit, but Avila
hits into another double play to kill the rally. His
second HIDP this game.

Maybe Avila is not cut out to be a backup catcher.

Hopefully the dbacks can find a better backup then Avila next year. He just isn't a great offensive threat.

 

[BC867]

#2-7 each has a hit (Escobar with 2) in the first 4 innings.

Without the hit, Lamb's average would have fallen below .200.

It stands now at .205. Avila's is .206.

That's close to Mendoza Line territory.

Hey, between them they're batting .411.

Few months? He is simply not good.

Can’t believe gonna day this, but Andriese has been damn impressive as of late! [emoji15]

Nick Ahmed.... nuff said! [emoji106]

 

[BC867]

Chafin comes in to pitch to Bellinger, lefty vs. lefty, to lead off the 9th.

Home run. Tie score. Blown save.

The rookie Kevin Ginkel comes in to pitch.

Clarke warming up in the bullpen.

 

[Shaggy]

Why didn't Tory just leave Matt in.

 

[BC867]

Why didn't Tory just leave Matt in.

To get a lefty vs. the lefty HR hitter.

 

[BC867]

Bottom of the 9th. Tie score.

Heart of the D-backs batting
order coming up.
