Ya'll ready to witness Rubby get slaughtered?

Our current starter stats: 17 IP 17 ER

Oh yeah, apparently Greinke had the flu when he pitched Opening Day. He was adamant about still pitching in the game so our manager allowed it. Everyone knew that he looked way off in Game 1 so now we have our answer.

 

[death2redemptions]

Hey now, a perfect 1-2-3 inning for Rubby.

 

[death2redemptions]

Segura leadoff HR!!!

 

[death2redemptions]

There you go Goldy...nice plate discipline.

 

[death2redemptions]

Double for Peralta!

Runners on 2nd & 3rd with 1 out....you have got to get AT LEAST one more here

 

[death2redemptions]

But just as I thought, we find a way NOT to get another run.

Unless Lamb can do something with 2 outs. I am doubtful.

 

[death2redemptions]

THERE YOU GO LAMB!!!!

2 run single!

3-0 DBacks

 

[death2redemptions]

And of course Rubby hits the leadoff hitter on a 1-2 count.

One thing I've learned about de la Rosa is that if you give him a nice lead he'll do everything in his power to give it right back. Every time.

 

[death2redemptions]

And now we have runners at 2nd & 3rd with no outs.

 

[death2redemptions]

And there you go, Rubby has loaded the bases with nobody out. Such an awful pitcher, please just dump him for a bag of balls or something. Get Bradley or Shipley some playing time.

 

[death2redemptions]

What a TERRIBLE pitcher. Why was he promised a spot in the first place?

 

[death2redemptions]

Strikeout #1 for Rubby.

Now get a double play going.

 

[death2redemptions]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! You suck Rubby

3-2 DBacks

 

[death2redemptions]

Strikeout #2 for Rubby

Still 3-2 DBacks

 

[death2redemptions]

Inside the park HR for Segura!!!

4-2 DBacks

But it looks like Schwarber is seriously injured...I never like to see that, even to the opposing team's players.

 

[death2redemptions]

Rubby gives up a leadoff hit to Heyward.

Rubby will always have poor command issues and pitch location problems so I don't ever envision him having a breakout season like the broadcasters keep saying he will.

 

[death2redemptions]

And then he walks the following batter...

YOU SUCK RUBBY! This is the inning I predicted he would implode.

 

[death2redemptions]

He can't even throw a strike anymore.

 

[death2redemptions]

And it's now 4-3 DBacks.

Get rid of this heap of junk. He's simply no good.

Broadcasters keep making excuses like "lack of concentration"...no, he's just a crappy pitcher.

Game is now tied 4-4
