Gonzo Returns - Dbacks/Dodgers series thread

[PHXSportsFan4]

They just mentioned that in 11 career starts vs the D-Backs, Penny has given up more than 3 runs 1 time. Not good to hear.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Young hits one right into the RCF gap but Pierre was shading him towards the gap and makes a routine catch.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Ugh... We can't get ANYTHING going.

T6 4-0

 

[HooverDam]

If the Dodgers don't win the NL West this year, I think Ill think of it as a choke. Their starting pitching and lineup is just much better than anyone else's in the division.

Byrnes doubles off the left field fence... Let's get something started right here.

 

[Lefty]

Why is Byrnes running? D'Backs got lucky because he was out.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Byrnsie steals 3rd... Ump missed that one, it was a pretty obvious call.

 

[Lefty]

Tracy brings in Byrnes with a groundout. The pitch was ball four.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Tracy gets the RBI as he grounds out to Nomar. Byrnes scores and we're on the board!

4-1

 

[Lefty]

Welcome back Carlos. Get Q in.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Dang, Quentin misses a big fly by inches but ends up with a double... He looks like he's gonna be a beast.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Come on CoJack... a base hit here can keep us in the game.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Jackson retired but we do get one run that we probably shouldn't have got.

T7 4-1

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Pierre hit, Fural and Pierre both on base... Not good.

Why is Gonzalez still in there???

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

This plate umpire isn't very good

 

[Lefty]

0-2 and he hits Kent with the bases loaded.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Gonzalez hits Kent and a run scores... I think this one is about to get out of hand.

5-1

 

[Phill11]

So is the last time time we see Gonzalez start? With the return of RJ, I think he may be the odd man out...

I've heard Gonzalez would have to clear waivers if sent down and I guess they won't attempt to send him down as he would likely get picked up by someone else. I'm thinking that Owings is going to end up being the odd man out, but I would just hate to see him sent down. He's been great so far and I don't think he deserves to be sent down, but I have a feeling he is going to be the one.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Gonzo whiffs... Hitless so far... I guess a consolation prize is to keep Gonzo hitless on his big return to Arizona.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Slaten inherits the big mess and gets out of it with no further damage done. Still, we are down 5-1, and it's getting late.

B7 5-1

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Sick double play turned by Kent. You'll see that on Web Gems tonight... This just isn't the D-Backs' night

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

We're the last game to finish up tonight. The Rockies and Padres both lost today so I guess that's a good thing.

 

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks lose 5-1. Hopefully they can split the series tomorrow.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Diamondbacks lose, 5-1. Penny was just dominant tonight. Best we can hope for is a split of the series, this is a short 2 game series that will wrap up tomorrow night and then we head to San Diego.
