While we're stuck in this horrible slump, more bad news on the card front. Missed one of my Top 5 most wanted cards, all because I normally only search Josh and not Joshua. I don't know why it never occurred to me so search this way - I search for his stuff daily and I completely missed this - so bummed - if anyone has any leads on it or its buyer, I will reward you!

Wow, Goldy is pretty horrible. That is his second strikeout of the game. This time with runners at 2nd & 3rd with only 1 out. He was caught looking at a pitch right down the middle of the strikezone. All season long he's done the same thing, not swing at pitches in the heart of the strikezone and going after crap pitches that lead to weak contact or strikeouts. I honestly have no clue what he is thinking when at the plate but he's begun to hurt us more than help us.

Now this is more like the Rubby de la Rosa that we are used to...gives up a couple 2 out RBI's through the first couple innings.

 

[death2redemptions]

And then gives up a 2 run HR to Stanton but that doesn't anger me as much...it's Giancarlo frigging Stanton, anyone is susceptible to giving up the long ball to him.

 

[death2redemptions]

That is Benintendi's league leading 7th triple & 24th RBI.

Robles is 2-for-2 with a run scored so far (.372 avg)

 

[death2redemptions]

So far Drury has drawn a walk and hit a double against JoFer. He's really the only bright spot on this team as of right now.

.329 avg 5 HR 11 RBI .982 OPS 13 XBH

 

[death2redemptions]

Drury scores his 11th run of the season off an Ahmed RBI double.

 

[death2redemptions]

Drury is averaging an extra base hit every 6 at-bats.

And another weak groundout from Goldschmidt...

 

[death2redemptions]

But David Peralta hits a 2 run HR!

 

[death2redemptions]

Tomas challenged the arm of Stanton and lost the battle.

 

[death2redemptions]

Segura comes in the game to pinch hit and he hits a leadoff single.

 

[death2redemptions]

And another weak ground out for Goldy. If it's not that then it's a strikeout. If he gets lucky he'll draw a walk.

 

[death2redemptions]

Why is this a terrible team at the moment?
1. Starting rotation
2. Goldschmidt

 

[death2redemptions]

Goldschmidt will...

1. Weak ground out
2. strikeout
3. walk

 

[death2redemptions]

He strikes out...

 

[death2redemptions]

Good start for Ray...1-2-3 inning striking out Yelich on a 96 MPH fastball.

1 IP 0 ER 0 H 0 BB 1 SO

 

[death2redemptions]

First base runner of the night for the DBacks...Peralta hit by pitch.

 

[death2redemptions]

Could very well end up being our only base runner of the night.
