Interesting ⁦‪@statcast‬⁩ tidbit for tonight:

-- #Dbacks Ketel Marte is slugging .629 and tied for ⁦‪@MLB‬⁩ lead with 8 HR vs. breaking balls (curves, sliders, knuckleballs)

-- #Rockies SP Jon Gray throws 44.8% breaking balls, T-8th highest among SP with 1,000+ pitches thrown.

FYI, Ronin & guys, I'll be catching some of the D-backs game tonight to be up
at 5:30 tomorrow morning to drive to Santa Barbara to visit friends for a week.

Between the traffic and a stop for lunch at my favorite Italian restaurant in San
Bernardino, it will be about a 10-hour trip.

I'll check the results of each game while I'm gone, but won't be accessing ASFN.

And I will probably have to mark as read and delete the many posts when I get
back, especially as long as the game posts have become.

A reminder that when I return on Wed. the 26th, that will mark Game #82, the
beginning of the second half of the season. Just double the stats for a rough
idea of where each player should finish up.

Go, D-backs!

Hopefully the game threads get bigger.

We need more activity on this board.

But the D-backs are producing runs tonight -- 2 so far. Hitting some to the opposite field.

Good National League baseball.

I don't know what it is about Colorado but they have owned us hard since that first series. We absolutely cannot figure them out.

 

[BC867]

Colorado's 2-run HR in the top of the 4th ties the score.

 

[devilalum]

Jones really struggling.

They are a better team. I know it sucks, but it is true.

Greinke is getting absolutely pounded in the 7th, and Lovullo is just standing there and watching. SMH.

 

[AZ Native]

Greinke is a Gold Glover for a reason.

 

[AZ Native]

That hit was on Marte.

 

[Broseph]

Maybe, but they have the same record as we do, they aren't that great TBH but we can't figure them out. Our inconsistency is likely what is going to keep us our of the playoffs. I hope we don't trade away assets to get pitching to make a playoff push, we'd get bounced out of the first round anyways.

 

[AZ Native]

This team should play every game on the road.

YEAH, they are underperforming and we are overperforming. But they are better, just look at their lineup. Agree about the trading assets.

Their pitching stinks, but their offense is good. They won't make it very far with their pitching if they make the post-season.

No argument there but they are still better than us. We cannot win a game at home.

 

[thirty-two]

Damn, Adam Jones hitting into another double play. Momentum killed

Yeah, 3 double plays in his last 6 at bats.

#Dbacks mgr Torey Lovullo on Rockies: "We’re grinding against this team. They’re a good team, but they’ve beaten us seven games in a row and I’m taking that kind of personal and we’ve got to come out here tomorrow and make something good happen."
