San Diego Padres @ Arizona Diamondbacks July 5 - July 8 2018

[Dback Jon]

Zach needs to get his head out of his ass or we will lose this game

 

[Dback Jon]

Pollock! 2-run single

 

[BC867]

A clutch bases loaded single by Pollock with two out in the 3rd driving in two. 2-1 D-backs.

It's not 20, but it's the lead.

 

[Dback Jon]

And bad Greinke shows up again. 2-2

 

[BC867]

Wow, Mathis doubles in the go-ahead run. And Grienke singles him to 3B. Greinke had another stolen base (3B), BTW.

And Jay is HBP and the bases are loaded once again.

The D-backs have loaded the bases numerously vs. the Padres in this series and have delivered repeatedly.

And Ahmed hitting into a DP against the lefty, failing with the bases loaded.

3-2 D-backs in the top of the 5th.

 

[Dback Jon]

Ugh. Bases loaded again. DP

 

[BC867]

Greinke over 90 pitches in the 5th with no one out and walks the first two batters.

He got a force out. And Chafin comes in to face the lefty.

 

[Dback Jon]

Second straight game Dback starter can’t go 5

Second straight game Dback starter can’t go 5

[devilalum]

Theirs a NEW Sheriff in town.

 

[Dback Jon]

This rookie blue needs to be fired

 

[devilalum]

Roboump Roboump Roboump!!!!

 

[BC867]

This rookie blue needs to be fired

In a 1-run ball game, Torey puts the light hitting Owings in CF to replace the ejected Pollock with Peralta sitting on the bench, because, "it is his scheduled day off".

Sometimes a Manager can be too rigid and spite himself.

And the .100 hitting Owings with a first pitch groundout in his first AB.

 

[GatorAZ]

CO!

 

[BC867]

CO!

CO = continuous outs.

 

[Shaggy]

Now why wouldn't TL keep Bradley out there for the 8th. He should.

 

[Shaggy]

Amazes me how yesterday they are lights out on hitting and then today, nothing.

 

[GatorAZ]

Calling it. Avila PH walk off pool shot.

 

[GatorAZ]

Calling it. Avila PH walk off pool shot.

Oof. Forgot Peralta was available but SD sticking with Strahm.

 

[Dback Jon]

Screw this ump. Heads need to roll

 

[BC867]

And we go to the 11th.

 

[devilalum]

Thanks Zach for destroying the bullpen.

 

[Shaggy]

TJ got out of that one.

 

[BC867]

Thanks Zach for destroying the bullpen.

Monday is an off-day. Of course, if the hitters came through, we wouldn't be in extra innings.

Mathis with his second double of the game with 2 outs in the 11th.

Owings got lucky. His strikeout got past the Catcher. Runners on 1st & 3rd. CO moved up to 2B uncontested.

Jon Jay strikes out and we go to the 12th. That's the 4th D-back strikeout of the inning.

 

[BC867]

With McFarland having to hit, as the only relief pitcher standing, we to the 13th.
