good grief, how do you even fall asleep after jacking 3? I'd be primed up for days

Yeah, it would be an all-nighter for sure!

 

[death2redemptions]

I can think of another D-Backs left handed elite strikeout machine like Robbie Ray who had an upper 90's fastball & plus slider

I sure would love him to see him end up with a career anywhere close to as good as that guys was.....

 

[death2redemptions]

Robbie Ray stat line - 7.2 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 14 K

He becomes the first pitcher in major league history to have four 10+ strikeout games against the Dodgers in a single season

J.D. MARTINEZ JUST HIT HIS 4TH HOME RUN OF THE GAME!!!

 

[death2redemptions]

Ray's 2017 Season: 12-5, 2.80 ERA, 138 IP/184 K, 1.15 WHIP (12.0 K/9, 3.62 FIP)

Despite missing a month of the season, Robbie Ray ranks 6th in the league with strikeouts. Only two pitchers have better K/9 rates than Robbie Ray this year, Scherzer & Sale.

 

[death2redemptions]

FUN FACT: J.D. Martinez is the only player in major league history to hit 4 home runs against the Dodgers

We are breaking all kinds of records tonight. I just knew this would end up being a historic game.

Damn , I missed this game. We were out at BBQ. Sounds great though. I don't think anyone wants to see us right now.

The D-Backs have won their 11th straight game!!! All of them against teams in the NL West

Still 6.5 games ahead of the Rockies and now 12.5 games back of the Dodgers.

Well, if I HAD to miss this game, going out to eat BBQ would certainly be one of the better follow-up options

whew, great news. Not that they need him now that Martinez is the homerun king.

We could probably still make it to the postseason without Goldy but we wouldn't get far without him.

We'll need everything at our disposal for the postseason. This team is streaky as hell but when we heat up it feels like we can beat everyone. It's like every player gets hot at the same time and then slump at the same time.

 

[death2redemptions]

Ugly looking lineup tonight
1. Negron
2. Ianetta
3. *******
4. Martinez
5. Drury
6. Descalso
7. Rosales
8. Marte
9. Greinke

something tells me we are facing a lefty......

 

[death2redemptions]

With a runner at 3rd Rosales just kept the streak alive with that fine defensive catch (90+ innings without trailing in a game)

 

[death2redemptions]

You can sort of feel it in the air that the winning streak is going to come to an end tonight. The team seems to be lacking enthusiasm and it's competitive edge. Meanwhile, the Dodgers appear to have both and the crowd has really got their back.

And that double play sort of sums it up.

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Still have a chance in 9th, let's go. Grienke another great game. It's really odd IMO how different the Dodgers are over last 2 weeks (same w DBax)

WHOA, costly 2 run error by the Dodgers in the 10th! They gotta take advantage of that & SOON cuz it's 1:30 in the morning and I need some rest.

I can't go to bed until I know the results.

 

[death2redemptions]

D-Backs win their 12th game in a row, tying a franchise record!

This win was sort of handed to us by the Dodgers defense, still Greinke had another brilliant outing.
