Game #67-Arizona Diamondbacks @ Philadelphia Phillies. 06/10/19

[BC867]

I said, with a smiley, earlier in the thread, that humidity could be contributing to
the amount of home runs this game, part of which was in heavy rain.

BB just mentioned a professor who wrote that higher humidity does cause balls
to go farther. I shouldn't have put in the smiley. Oh, BTW, .

 

[BC867]

Clarke is out for Godley. I agree with the poster who expressed doubts
about Clarke's ability to stay in the rotation. In a way different than
Godley's, Clarke's body language looks weak. And not because of the
deformation on his lips/cheek.

So far, the seven runs for the D-backs have been scored by the first
seven hitters, Dyson through Avila. That is good to see!

 

[Dback Jon]

Well Godley, this is your chance to prove you belong back in the rotation

 

[BC867]

Escobar with his second HR, into the upper deck. 9-4.

Switch hit HR's.

 

[Dback Jon]

ESCOBAR AGAIN!!

 

[BC867]

Well Godley, this is your chance to prove you belong back in the rotation

I don't think that Godley's doing a better job in long relief necessarily means he would succeed back in the rotation.

 

[BC867]

And Vargas with a HR. 7th of the game is a new D-backs record.

And Vargas now joins every position player with at least a run scored in the game.

 

[Dback Jon]

Vargas gets into the HR act!

 

[Dback Jon]

I don't think that Godley's doing a better job in long relief necessarily means he would succeed back in the rotation.

If Clarke can't do it, who fills his spot?

 

[BC867]

If Clarke can't do it, who fills his spot?

I don't know. Is there another Minor Leaguer ready for a chance?

 

[Dback Jon]

I don't know. Is there another Minor Leaguer ready for a chance?

Not really.

Either sign or trade, or hope Luke Weaver's injury isn't serious.

 

[Dback Jon]

Godley with a nice 1-2-3 inning in the 5th

 

[Dback Jon]

Escobar doubles Marte home 11-4

 

[Dback Jon]

11-4 after 6. Godley has been solid in relief. 2 2/3 inning, one infield hit, one walk.

 

[BC867]

As Jackson said to Ally in A Star Is Born . . .

You must be registered for see images attach

Well, I wanted to get another look at the box score after 6 innings . . .

You must be registered for see images attach

Everybody with a hit but Walker. Everybody with a run scored.
Everybody with a HR but Walker and Jones.
Everybody with an RBI but Walker and Jones.

Please, D-backs, don't get beaten 2-1 in the next two games.

 

[Dback Jon]

Godly has allowed the last two Batters to get on with a single and a walk

 

[Dback Jon]

Inning over 11 - 4 after seven

 

[TJ]

This team is weird. It can’t decide whether it’s really good or really awful.

 

[Dback Jon]

Should’ve kept Godley in

 

[Dback Jon]

11-6 after 8

 

[82CardsGrad]

This team is weird. It can’t decide whether it’s really good or really awful.

They're just really mediocre...

 

[Dback Jon]

And Vargas homers

 

[BC867]

This team is weird. It can’t decide whether it’s really good or really awful.

Well, when Torey goes with his best lineup, they're good.

When he gives his mandatory pre-determined days off, not so good.

Imagine if Cron, with his power, had been at 1B tonight instead of Walker.
But it has been pre-determined that Walker is the 1st baseman for the
rest of the season. Period! Unless, of course, it's Lamb.

And Vargas hits his 2nd HR for a total of 8.

D-backs 13-6 in the top of the 9th.

And Cron comes up as a PH to give it a try, but they walk him.
The Phillies know whom to pitch around.

 

[BC867]

Phillies with their 4th & 5th HRs, in the 9th so far. That's what happens when
you give your closer some extra work. 13-8.

It's the 4th time this season that a team has hit 8 HR's in a game.

13th HR in the game between both teams.

As Steve & BB are discussing, MLB has done something to the baseballs.

BB just said, "This just in. Jody Jackson has homered."

 

[GatorAZ]

They’re packing these balls with gun powder.
