Game #60-NY Mets @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 06/02/19

[BC867]

Cron pitch hitting for Archie. His double was the winning
run last night on the walkoff. Just a formality today.

He's facing the same pitcher he did last night.
He has a disciplined strike zone and walks.

Bases are loaded for Marte. His HR, BTW, was the
second longest in the Major Leagues this year.

 

[Ronin]

bases are now loaded. Marte now batting.

 

[Ronin]

ho hum just simple base hit to right field by Marte. two runs score. 7-1 Dbacks.

Merrill Kelly pitched a heck of a game today.

@ Marte's slide

 

[BC867]

Merrill Kelly pitched a heck of a game today.

Indeed. 10 strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings.

Chrichton on to pitch the 9th for the D-backs.

 

[BC867]

@ Marte's slide

LOL. He started it 2/3 of the way to 2B.

Will we ever know why?

 

[Ronin]

2 outs left to go.

 

[Ronin]

1 out away!

 

[BC867]

1-2-3. D-backs take the series 2 games to 1.

Back to .500.

Game.Blouses.

 

[thirty-two]

2 in a row, hey!

 

[Ronin]

Torey Lovullo’s gamble on keeping Merrill Kelly (dehydration?) in the game payed off. Good stuff.

Awesome Ronin. I like when you have the time to do this.

Me too. I like coming to read the azsf recap when I get home from the park.

It would be tough for Ketel to be elected to an All Star position when he divides his time between 2B and CF.
National stats has him listed at three positions, including SS. That affects public perception and hints at utility player.

For his 226 official at-bats so far this season, his BAVG is .279, OBP is .332, SLG% is .531 and OPS is .863.

Extending his stats to the 520 official at-bats he had last season, here are the rest of his projections.

30 HR's, 78 RUNS and 90 RBI's. Very good for the D-backs.

But it is doubtful his stats would put him at #1 or #2 at either position in the voting.

Greinke will be a lock for pitchers, but probably our only 2019 All Star.

Especially if the D-backs continue fighting to get and stay above .500 as a team.

#Dbacks Merrill Kelly was feeling a little nauseous when he called Torey Lovullo and trainer Ryan Dipanfilo to the mound during the game. It passed after he drank some water on the mound and was not an issue after that.
