Opening Series - SF Giants vs Diamondbacks

[devilalum]

If this team is going to have any success we're probably not going to see a lot of it in April.
I liked how they fought back.

 

[overseascardfan]

Yeah, never liked him as a starter let alone the "ace." He should be a long reliever, where he has a ~2.50 ERA.

When Corbin returns he'll get bumped down.

Next 2 games are on Fox Sports Arizona +.

De La Rosa vs Vogelsong tonight, Vogelsong is not unhittable. Let's go D-Backs!!!

 

[Dback Jon]

Rubby De La Rosa makes his Dbacks debut tonight

 

[Dback Jon]

Three hits for the D backs so far all extra bases

Peralta with three run jack

 

[BC867]

Goldy is everyone's favorite D-back. But, beyond that, David Peralta has been my favorite since his rookie season.

What a blast! A 3-run homer (the D-back's first of the season) to give DeLaRosa a 4-2 lead. Invaluable to a pitcher who gave up an earlier 2-run homer.

It is why I picked the D-backs to go 82-80 as they develop their young talent. We have some talented bats.

 

[Avondale Red Rage]

BOOM.

 

[Dback Jon]

Lamb-bam!!!

3run jack

 

[Avondale Red Rage]

Lamb with a 3-run bomb.

 

[Bert]

Aaron Hill, meet the bench, bench meet Aaron hill...

 

[BC867]

Aaron Hill, meet the bench, bench meet Aaron hill...

I think that Chip will continue to platoon at 3B and LF, resting Peralta and Lamb when a lefty pitches. Which will allow him to showcase Hill for a trade and give Inciarte a fair amount of at-bats as the 4th outfielder. He played LF last night and CF tonight. Betcha within the next 2 games, Ender will start a game in RF.

 

[frankeegee1]

Is it possible that they are going to win?

 

[frankeegee1]

Yeah, baby. Strike 3 right down the middle.

 

[AZ Native]

Yeah, baby. Strike 3 right down the middle.

[Lefty]

Great to see Kate Longworth on FoxSportsAZ. Nice to have another UofA alum working for the Diamondbacks.

 

[Avondale Red Rage]

@nickpiecoro: Dbacks relievers through two games: 8 IP, 0 R, 5 H, 2 BB.

 

[devilalum]

Pick your headline:

Dbacks Win, Rookie on Pace to Hit 567 RBIs

or

Dbacks Win, Trumbo on Pace to Hit 162 Triples

 

[AZ Native]

I'll take both, Alex.

 

[Phrazbit]

Lamb is on pace for about 800 rbi. So... even accounting for the sample size being a bit small, I'd still pencil him in for at least 300+.

 

[Dback Jon]

Great to see the D backs win

 

[AZ Native]

Great to see the D backs win

Yes it is.

 

[Dback Jon]

First win for Chippendale as D backs manager

 

[PDXChris]

In case anyone is wondering, Jake Lamb is eligible for ROY.

The current standard of 130 at bats, 50 innings pitched or 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club (excluding time in military service or on the disabled list) before September 1 was adopted in 1971.[1

He had 126 AB's in 37 games.

Great night at the ballpark. Nice win !!
