Nola is way worse against lefties. Like a .050 point slugging difference. Meanwhile, Lourdes hits a whooping .120 points worse this year against righties.

Hitting him at all is puzzling. Hitting him 5th is nonsense

Seems to have seriously killed the team tonight!

Its an odd move to bring in Ginkel, who has allowed some hard contact lately with 1 out and the runner on 3rd with Gallen only being at 87 pitches

Seems to have worked out pretty freakin well!

Tonight was Lourdes from last year. He's been so bad against righties this year.

Perhaps Torey saw Lourdes finding his groove in BP or in preceding games… I’ll got with that.

I didn't realize at the time Gallen was hurt.

Even in my own house a meaningless preseason NFL game is taking precedent over a team in the thick of the playoff race.

And she turns it on yay

I must have been on a huge delay on my computer. I saw McCarthy make it 8-1. We turn it on live and it's 11-1 and the end of the inning. Balls!!

Jake is on one helluva heater!!

The best trades are sometimes the ones you don’t make. There were a lot of rumors about McCarthy potentially being moved last offseason b/c he’d be the odd man out in the OF. Hazen didn’t bite.

 

[Dback Jon]

Keep pilling on the dirty filthy Phillies

My wife was literally three plays into the football game asking me why the fudge we’re not watching the baseball game

 

[outcent13]

This team is special!

I know some will think I’m crazy, but I said this last season and I feel even more strongly today. The Dbacks have the BEST GM / Manager combo in MLB! And I’m not even sure there’s a close second.

Instead of walking him, nail him.

The Orioles and the Rays have a few things to say here.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Well at worst it's a split against the top team in the NL in the same week beating the top team in the AL

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I appreciated the fans booing Stubbs at the end.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Had to be fun for the Phillies on the NL championship replica ring night to get your ass kicked 11-1

I’ll grant you their GM’s might be comparable to Hazen, but not gonna go there with the Manager. I’ll take Torey.

That's fair

 

[82CardsGrad]

Our pen was big time clutch tonight!
4 2/3rd. No hits! No runs. 4 K’s and a walk!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We will be at the game tomorrow to watch Merril's return.

Well that's good news for a change on the injury front. Zac has not been the Zac of last year, but we need him down the stretch. Now only if the Padres would lose a few games while the DBacks keep winning. Marlins get way ahead and then blow it in the late innings - the 25 or so fans in the stands must be really mad at this point, lol.
