Padres vs Dbacks Series Thread

[Dback Jon]

How 'bout Hale's decision to place Trumbo in the #2 hole in the order? Looking like a very smart move at this point!

Yup - looking genius right now.

Ruby with a gem! [emoji6]
Goldy continues to rake. Great to see Trumbo hitting consistently. Peralta has found his groove and Tomas continues to be productive at the plate.

I just got home from a week-long vacation trip, including the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame, but I followed how the D-backs have been hot at-bat.

I'm happy to see that my boy David Peralta has returned to his hitting ways. It is not easy to adjust to getting in the groove in a 4-man starting outfield.

Hellickson... UGH... [emoji35]

Whoa back to back. Let's go DBACKS.

 

[frankeegee1]

Tough loss.

You know, for as bad as our team/pitching was last year, it's quite refreshing to me to see the turn around with the team, so far this year. I am really enjoying seeing some new harder throwing arms in the pitching staff (somebody actually throwing faster than 89-90 mph). Hale has the lineup starting to hit the last few games. I like this new front office and coaching change so far. It's been good for our team and fans, I think.

GO DBACKS!!!

Agreed... but here's he deal. Hellickson is simply not worthy of a slot in the rotation. We need to upgrade there so hopefully, when Corbin comes back and he return to his high-quality form.
We desperately need to improve the offense at the SS and Catcher positions. We can find a way to make it work with Hill playing second and Owings at short. However, Hill will eventually break down - he's not our solution... And Tuffy/Pacheco are not capable of hitting consistently enough to help the team.

Tomas, what pitch were you looking for? Ahhh!!
Caught looking.

Ahhh!! Twice now.

Anderson with first career RBI

 

[Lefty]

Anderson pitches great and the bullpen blows the lead.

Yep, screwed again. Nice performance by Chase but bullpen wasted it.

 

[Dback Jon]

How many pitches was Chase up to?

How many pitches was Chase up to?

93. Would have been a good story with him driving in the winning run.

 

[82CardsGrad]

How many low-scoring games have we won? I bet it's not more than 1 or 2 at most... Incredible...

I think we have won only one game scorings 4 runs, 2 games scoring 5 runs and 0 games scoring 3 or less.

That's what I thought... We need our starters to go the distance in low-scoring games...
Oh, and the Addison Reed experiment can now be officially called a failure!!

Agreed, who is our new closer?

 

[82CardsGrad]

Danny Dorn!!!!!!

 

[frankeegee1]

Still alive. ☺

 

[AZ Native]

Lucky bounce off the backstop or we would still be batting.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Ya know...This team may not go to the playoffs...or even finish over .500, but they are head and shoulders better than the last few years...and so fun to watch...They have such a good future. I just hope they keep building through the draft, like the Astros.

 

[AZ Native]

Nice steal by AJ but will they pitch to Goldy?

 

[AZ Native]

Guess not. C'mon Dave!!!!
