Season thread-the road to the playoffs

Daigle needs to put up a few bagels for the rest of the game to give the bullpen some rest

 

[AZZenny]

Damn - Daigle is tiring visibly. what - 100 pitches? Plus - I HATE Joe McEwing, he's always clobbered us.

 

[Lefty]

Daigle gets out of the 5th and it's 12-7. With Elmer pitching tomorrow hopefully the bats will stay hot.

Yep 105 to be exact.....damn lucky if they win this one for him

 

[Lefty]

That ump sucks. That ball was too low to be called a strike on Gonzo.

 

[Ryanwb]

Maybe Andrew Good can go the rest of the way ????

 

[Lefty]

Good so far has gone 2 innings without giving up a run. He has a nice breaking ball but he has no fastball. He needs to throw junk to get guys out.

 

[arthurracoon]

Gonzo hits his third home run of the game and it's only the 4th inning.

 

[Lefty]

I wonder if you bring in Mantei in this game?

 

[Lefty]

D-Backs win 12-8. Gonzo gets major props. Need the runs tomorrow.

 

[Lefty]

Mets get one in the first. Elmer looks like Elmer.

 

[Lefty]

Shea whacks a 3-run home run to make it 3-1. YESSSSSS!!!!!

 

[Ryanwb]

All right!!! Go Hillenbrand!

 

[Evil Ash]

Hillenbrand with a 3 run HR and the score is now 3-1 D-backs! From the looks of this ump's strike zone it looks like we are in for another long one.

 

[Lefty]

How long do you keep Elmer in? I say if they tie the game you pull him.

 

[Evil Ash]

Hillenbrand is eating Leiter alive... he has another hit (a double) and another RBI.

Dbacks now up 4-1

 

[Lefty]

Shea has been picking it up since Sexson went down. His stock is going up and that is good if the D-Backs plan on playing Tracy when Sexson gets back.

Bautista gets a hit and it is now 5-1.

 

[Evil Ash]

Well we got our question answered. Elmer gives up 2 runs and gets pulled in the 5th inning. His problems seems to be purely mental (although that small strike zone didn't help) because he was pitching fantastic until the 5th and then everything fell apart.

I guess Fossum for certain will be joining the starting rotation soon

 

[Lefty]

Elmer needs to go to the bullpen. How about Bruney coming in and getting the strikeout?

 

[Evil Ash]

Elmer needs to go to the bullpen.

Agreed put him in long relief at least until he can get himself right

How about Bruney coming in and getting the strikeout?

That was nice and much appreciated, especially with the way our bullpen has been pitching lately

 

[Lefty]

WhoooHooo!!! Grand Slam Finley! 9-3 D-Backs!!!

 

[Evil Ash]

Fins busts it WIDE Open with a Grand Slam! WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

D-backs now up 9-3!

 

[Ryanwb]

That about ends that string of solo home runs for him!!!

 

[Lefty]

Valverde strikes out the side as the D-Backs win 9-5. Going for the sweep tomorrow.

 

[thirty-two]
