Season thread-the road to the playoffs

[Lefty]

This is how bad it is, Daigle is pinch hitting.

 

[BOB_Man24]

Speaking of which, the ballpark has like 10 people in it. Its sad and pathetic!

 

[Lefty]

Danny does it again. He is the man! Tracy also gets a rbi. Yes!!! Let's hold them now.

 

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks win!!! MVP goes to Bautista with props to Tracy and Oscar, Choate and Sparks. This win just might get things going.

 

[Chaz]

This win just might get things going.

I hope so.

 

[Lefty]

I hope so.

The NL West is not that strong. It should be a 5-team race.

 

[Lefty]

Who pitches for the Diamondbacks on Saturday? Daigle tomorrow and Dessens on Sunday. Do they bring a guy up from Tucson?

I think they drew 34,000 for the three games....I wasn't one of the ten people left in the 15th inning, since I made my exit right after Overbay's hit in the 5th - I have to work tomorrow, so I needed to get on the road for the journey back to Indy, not to mention the fact I was pretty upset with the D'Backs at the time. I was able to listen to the Brewers radio broadcast for the rest of the game, which meant I had the opportunity to listen to Mantei blow yet another save!! On the bright side, Shea might be on the bench a bit longer than expected (work on those throws, Chad), Choate was unexpectedly awesome in his 2 innings of work, and Danny B has been outstanding!! Oh yeah, the Dodgers lost to Colorado today, so we move up a little.

BTW, if you ever get the chance to watch a game from just behind home plate, do so - I upgraded my ticket to a seat 6 rows from the field, and it was awesome!

 

[Lefty]

It will be interesting to see if Tracy starts tonight and where?

My guess is that Sparks could still pitch on Saturday. Since he's a knuckleballer, he doesn't need much rest

 

[Ryanwb]

Are the D'backs doing anything to remember Tillman?

 

[Lefty]

Are the D'backs doing anything to remember Tillman?

They just had a nice tribute to Pat and all the other soldiers. Moment of silence and then the National Anthem.

Let's hope Daigle can have an easy first inning.

 

[Lefty]

Daigle gets out of the first without giving up a run. Giles out was a little scary.

 

[Lefty]

1-0 Diamondbacks. Sexson brings in Kata. I like the change in the line-up.

 

[Lefty]

2-0. Finley with a single and ball goes under Giles glove.

 

[Evil Ash]

Well that was ... interesting!

Dbacks up 2-0 after the 2 base error by Giles

 

[KingLouieLouie]

I love tonight's line-up:

1)Kata-2B
2)Cintron-SS
3)Gonzalez-LF
4)Sexson-1B
5)Finley-CF
6)Bautista-RF
7)Tracy-3B
8)Hammock-C

And of course Kata ignites a rally w/a lead-off single...Then Cintron executed a hit-and-run play perfectly... Sexson singles to drive Kata in...Finley then drives Sexson in with a 3-base error....What a daring play by Al Pedrique to allow Sexson to advance from 2nd.... This team now seems to be on a mission....

This should be the line-up for the remainder of the season, with Shea and Tracy alternating at 3B.... I guess Brenly has been reading thiss message board lately...

 

[Lefty]

Daigle looks like a whole different pitcher. Easy 2nd inning for him.

 

[Ryanwb]

Wow I can't remember the last time we had a successful sacrifice from the pitcher (it was probably the last game, but seems like forever)

Daigle looks like a million bucks!!

 

[Lefty]

Walks always haunt you. Lorreta hits a 2-run home run to tie it at 2.

 

[BC867]

I love tonight's line-up:

1-Kata-2B
2-Cintron-SS
3-Gonzalez-LF
4-Sexson-1B
5-Finley-CF
6-Bautista-RF
7-Tracy-3B
8-Hammock-C

This should be the line-up for the remainder of the season, with Shea and Tracy alternating at 3B.... I guess Brenly has been reading this message board lately...

I just hope that Brenly doesn't tire of it after 2 games or 20 games. Good move, BB. Now let it be.

Alex Cintron was hitting .281 after his 2-for-6 in the extra inning game. Don't blink your eyes or you'll miss seeing him get to .340.

As much as I liked the potential of Shea Hillenbrand ('still do), if Tracy is the real thing at 3B . . .

I'm sure there will be some teams who would like a 20HR-90RBI First or Third Baseman.

Why not package him for a solid #3 starting pitcher -- our greatest need.

Hillenbrand, Mantei, Alomar. Hmmm.

 

[Ryanwb]

One statistic that has gotten better for Daigle...

5 ground outs - 6 Flyouts so far into the 4th inning (1 strike out)

He was getting all flyball outs before so this means he is hitting his marks.....

 

[Lefty]

Daigle getting the job done. D-Backs need to score some runs.

 

[Lefty]

2-2 after 6. How long can Daigle last? Does Brenly give the ball to Valverde before Mantei?

 

[Lefty]

Koplove comes in and gets out of the jam. 2-2 bottom of the 7th.
