No Cron. BC?...

 

[BC867]

No Cron. BC?...

Thanks, 1Sun. As I promised after yesterday's game . . . if Lovullo benches Cron
again (after hitting two doubles), I would call him an a**hole, but without the **.

So here goes. Torey Lovullo is an a$$hole. OK, so I partially censored it!

Cron is certainly capable of starting a day game after a night game, after
"resting" on the bench since his one previous start. Especially the way
Walker has been (not) hitting.

And, for the second game in a row, he has benched Dyson, whom I refer to
as the Sparkplug in the leadoff position. If there is something wrong with
Dyson, it would be understandable, but we have heard nothing of that sort.
He was used as a pinch runner yesterday.

And Marte, who along with Escobar, is his hottest power hitter is batting
leadoff, in Dyson's place. Following our four lightest hitters. Yesterday
Dyson was benched for a sub who went 0-5 leading off.

Torey Lovullo does not put his players in the best situation to win.

I am a Type-A personality who relies on logic. I do not see the logic
in the Manager's decisions. Especially when we look at our recent
losing streak.

You called it correctly, again, 1Sun.

And Walker with a two-run HR just for BC

 

[Dback Jon]

4-3 Dbacks going into bottom of 2nd

 

[1Sun]

Can someone please tell me why Clarke got the call-up over Duplantier?

 

[Dback Jon]

Can someone please tell me why Clarke got the call-up over Duplantier?

Clarke pitched well last two starts in the bigs - both times recorded quality starts. But we will see Duplantier soon with Weaver out

 

[BC867]

And Walker with a two-run HR just for BC

Steve just reported that Lovullo told Walker that he will have 400 more at-bats this season.
Another decision by the Manager set in stone.

So Cron was called up to sit on the bench.

Walker delivered a rare home run. We'll see if he has learned to hit high strikes.

What ever happened to "let the better man win"? Both of them are rookies,
but not kids.

 

[BC867]

The score is 8-5 Rockies in the bottom of the 6th.

 

[BC867]

Escobar with a 2-run HR in the top of the 8th. We're down by 1.

C'mon, guys. Are you going to tease us or deliver one win?

 

[Dback Jon]

First to 10 wins!

 

[BC867]

Walker singles . . . through the legs of the Rockies LF. Error.

Unearned run. Tie game. Lead run on 3B with no outs.

Now one out. A second chance for a sac fly to take the lead.

Ahmed singles in the run. And it's 9-8 D-backs. 'Good to see!

Please no Archie or Yoshi.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Ugh wish dbacks would stop this slide going under 500 sucks

 

[mjb21aztd]

Nice 9 to 8 crazy gm

 

[BC867]

Kelly singles in a run and it's 10-8. His second 3-hit game in a row.

It looks we have our Catcher of the future.

I'm OK with using Avila around him.

 

[Dback Jon]

Dbacks up 10-8. 6 outs to get to preserve win.


Walker singled again, Cron K's in pinch hit spot

 

[Dback Jon]

We've been asking for Lopez in a key 8th inning spot - here we go!

 

[Dback Jon]

It's Yuan vs Yonathan!

Damn, Rockies pinch hitting for Yonathan!

 

[Dback Jon]

And Desmond promptly homers...UGH

 

[Dback Jon]

Lopez gets next two out, Story singles

 

[Dback Jon]

Two more singles, Rockies tie it up, two on, two out

 

[BC867]

Yup, the D-backs were teasing us. Chafin leaves
the bases loaded in the 8th in a 10-10 tie.

 

[Dback Jon]

Chaffin loads the bases, but get the last out

10-10 after 8

 

[Dback Jon]

Dbacks go down in order.

Rockies with chance to once again get walk off win
