Season thread-the road to the playoffs

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks win! Nice start to the road trip. Randy gets the win and the offense is coming around. Nice to see Shea doing well.

Randolph walks the first two in the 7th, proceeds to give up a 3-run HR to Tejada; 5-2 Orioles.

That was an ugly hanging curve..... He may as well of ran to the scoreboard and changed the numbers himself it was so ugly

 

[Lefty]

I missed the game so did Webb throw too many pitches to pitch the 7th?

 

[Lefty]

0-0 after 2 innings. A win here and the Diamondbacks take the series.

 

[Lefty]

0-0 bottom of the 4th. Diamondbacks have had all their players retired, 12 up, 12 down.

 

[Lefty]

Perfect game for Cabrera thru 5 innings. Fossum has pitched well also, keeping the O's scoreless thru 4.

 

[AZZenny]

Cabrera is perfect, and 44 pitches, I believe, through 5 innings. AAAARRGGGHH. We just couldn't make him work a teeny bit harder?
Fossum is pitching as well as we could ever ask, finally, though has 83 pitches in the fifth, and he's up against a kid pitching the game of his life (against D-Back Noffense).

Brito looks good behind the plate. I liked him in ST.

And we put Baerga on the DL, and called up Andy Green - now that is a move I like a lot.

 

[Lefty]

He is perfect thru 6. This is getting exciting.

 

[IndyDevil]

Another day, another perfect game....only this time it's against us!! Our batters have no answer for Cabrera after 6 innings, yet somehow we are still in this thing; Fossum has been slightly erratic, but still holding the O's scoreless.

 

[Lefty]

Fossum has pitched very well, especially against one of the best hitting AL teams. I hope this outting gives his confidence a boost. Hairston breaks up the perfect game with a walk.

 

[Ryanwb]

Lost the perfect game

 

[IndyDevil]

Well, we got rid of the perfecto to lead off the 7th, but still have to get a hit...

 

[Lefty]

Home run Finley!!! 2-0 Arizona!!!

 

[Ryanwb]

WOo hoo!

 

[IndyDevil]

...and a hit we shall receive!!! 2-run HR for Finley!!

 

[AZZenny]

Never underestimate the value of a walk!! Good work Scotty, and way to take advantage of a rattled pitcher, Finley!! Keep it going, Danny... OK, you're next, Gonzo - let's beat this kid into the mud!

 

[Lefty]

Way to go Alan Zinter! 3-0 Diamondbacks.

 

[Lefty]

Arizona wins 3-0. Props to Fossum, Finley and the bullpen. The Diamondbacks take the series. Up next, Toronto.

 

[Evil Ash]

Dbacks win the game 3-0 and win the series.

Fossum pitched very well. It looks like he's finally starting to get comfortable with his new team

 

[IndyDevil]

I'm only able to follow Friday's game on MLB.com, and I see that Shea got ejected by the HP umpire; I assume it was a strike zone dispute??

 

[Ryanwb]

WOo Hoo!! Rally in the top of the 9th!!

 

[Lefty]

Just got home and found the Diamondbacks took the lead in the 9th. This would be a great win.

 

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks win!!! Valverde gets the save. Tim Olson gets a huge hit, his first major league one. This win kind of reminds me of the one last June in Houston when the Diamondbacks rallied in the 9th to win against Wagner.

 

[Cland]

Hopefully this sparks them a little and we can keep on winning. Nice to see Val Verde lock down a couple.
