I was there tonight , their pitching and D is very spotty at best.

Me too. Lamb does not only commits errors but his range is very limited.

He also has a very terrible inaccurate arm that leads to many throwing errors.

Love his offense, hate his defense.

They showed a highlight package of some plays from the first half of season. One of the plays is basically a routine ground ball to him, throwing it, pulling Goldy off the bag who had to make a good play to get the runner.

Their offense was fine last night. But way too many big innings for LA.

Lamb tied the game in the 8th with an RBI double...his 2nd double of the game.

 

[death2redemptions]

And Lamb hits a leadoff triple in the 12th and ends up scoring the winning run. He's an extra base machine!

Lamb
.299 avg 20 HR 63 RBI 1.000 OPS 3.4 fWAR

 

[death2redemptions]

RBI single for Lamb. He's now a .300 hitter.

 

[death2redemptions]

And Lamb scores another run after a 2 RBI double by Drury.

3-0 DBacks

 

[death2redemptions]

BOOM! Jake Lamb hits his 21st HR of the season!

.303 avg 21 HR 65 RBI 1.016 OPS 50 XBH

Now leads the league in triples, slg%, OPS, XBH & ISO.

 

[death2redemptions]

Well, Goldy has protection now...but his protection has become a bigger offensive threat than him.

Soon Lamb is going to need protection or they are just going to walk him all the time.

Robbie Ray just pitched one of his best games of the season.

7 IP 0 ER 4 H 2 BB 7 SO

It's possible he could go back out in the 8th but with a 100+ pitch count I doubt it.

 

[death2redemptions]

D-Backs take the series from the Dodgers...barely.

The bullpen nearly blew the game, giving up 5 runs in 2 IP.

 

[death2redemptions]

Robbie Ray is top 10 in strikeouts...but he's also top 10 in walks.

There is no silencing of this Lamb!

You can't sacrifice this Lamb and expect to win.

Listen to the Lamb chop, chop, chop those balls outta the ballpark!

The great Lambino in all his glory!

Very nice..

Now if only he could work on that defense...



P.S. Is it weird that I have a statue of Jake Lamb in my bedroom?

Put a Shelby one in there and see if it helps. I won't judge you.

Got owned in the mystery jersey of Saturday's night. Well, at least it was $40 for charity. But I can't even find who this Parker is. The MLB sticker reads Team Issued Jersey authenticated on February 2016 but does not list a name. #21 we know is Greinke. Previous MLBer was Heath Bell.
