Game #142-Arizona Diamondbacks (74-67) @ Cincinnati Reds (66-76). 09/07/19

[Ronin]

Come on.

 

[Bobster]

Three straight strikeouts with the bases loaded.

 

[BC867]

Chafin pulls an Archie. Base hit to lead off the bottom of the 9th.

Tying run at bat.

 

[Bobster]

Dyson is batting .211 in the second half of the season, "slugging" .282.

 

[thirty-two]

Don’t ruin this Chafin

 

[BC867]

Strikeout.

 

[BC867]

Dyson is batting .211 in the second half of the season, "slugging" .282.

Which is why he's a part-timer. He is a spark plug.

But, yes, he's not an everyday player.

 

[BC867]

And a walk. A true Archie. 2 runners on with one out.

 

[Broseph]

Oof, bases loaded and no one out and we can't get 1 run? Also, why does it seem like everytime Chafin is in he's walking people or giving up hits?

 

[thirty-two]

Freaking Chafin

 

[thirty-two]

Cmon Sherfy, clean up this mess and let’s be done with this game

 

[BC867]

Sherfy was our AAA number 1 closer.

 

[BC867]

Strikeout. 2 outs.

 

[thirty-two]

Sherfy gets the strikeout! 1 more out

 

[Ronin]

1 out away.

 

[BC867]

And Sherfy closes it. D-backs win 2-0. Right now, he's the best closer on the team.

Good thing Archie had pitched a lot of innings.

 

[thirty-two]

Sherfy got em!!!

 

[Bobster]

Sherfy with two big strikeouts to finish it.

 

[Ronin]

GAME! Wooooo

 

[thirty-two]

Badass Sherfy!

 

[Ronin]

WWWWW!

 

[BC867]

BB mentioned, "Who closes when Archie can't? Sherfy."

How about, "Sherfy closes. Archie back to 7th innings."
He needs a safety net.

Except, I don't think Sherfy would be eligible during the
post season, as a 40-man roster call up.

I assume the rules for the Wild Card and League
Championship contenders are the same as the World Series.

If that is the case, shame on the D-backs for not calling up
our best Minor League closer when we had none on the
Major League roster and the demoted Archie got the job
by default.

 

[Shaggy]

Need the Cubs to lose!

 

[Evil Ash]

Cubs lose and only 1.5 games back. One helluva outing Alex "Cy" Young.

You beat me to it. Isn't it 1 game behind now?
