[Dback Jon]

We HAVE to win this

 

[Ronin]

Hopefully Ray can pound the strike zone in this game.

 

[Broseph]

Rockies have beat us 7 games in a row, absolutely ridiculous. This team is so frustrating.

Looks like it may be 8. How many pitches will Ray throw in the 1st inning? 11,15 20?

 

[az240zz]

Wow only 17 pitches but gave up the home run

 

[Dback Jon]

Bases loaded one out.


We get at least one with a sac fly

 

[Dback Jon]

OK Cron - you are starting. Show us something

 

[Dback Jon]

Ugh - Ahmed leaves the bases loaded. 4 base runners, only one run. The old Dbacks Bugaboo

 

[Dback Jon]

Two more baserunners in the 2nd, no runs

 

[Dback Jon]

Jones doubles to lead off 3rd, advances to 3rd on WP.

One out, Cron up

 

[Dback Jon]

And Cron strikes out.

The honeymoon was short

 

[Dback Jon]

Ahmed HBP

 

[Dback Jon]

Now up to Caleb Joseph (who?)

 

[Dback Jon]

And Joseph strikes out. Avila would have looked good there, if not for injury, right @1Sun ?

 

[Dback Jon]

Dbacks leave another 2 on base

 

[AZCB34]

And Joseph strikes out. Avila would have looked good there, if not for injury, right @1Sun ?

Avila would have looked at each pitch as it crossed the plate.

 

[AZCB34]

Dbacks leave another 2 on base

Lovullo: It's a home game. No need to waste those hits with RISP at home.

 

[Dback Jon]

Avila would have looked at each pitch as it crossed the plate.

You mean the same Avila that leads the team in on base percentage ?

The same catcher that is tied for the lead in OPS ?

 

[Dback Jon]

And a one out double is wasted

 

[AZCB34]

You mean the same Avila that leads the team in on base percentage ?

The same catcher that is tied for the lead in OPS ?

Yes. Blind squirrel

 

[Dback Jon]

Desmond hits it one out the lead grows for Colorado

 

[Dback Jon]

Yes. Blind squirrel

So a.410 on base percentage is a blind squirrel ? Lol
