Arizona Diamondbacks Collector/Talk Thread

[death2redemptions]

And the first two have reached with nobody out.

 

[death2redemptions]

And now Seager at the plate. We are doomed to fail again.

 

[death2redemptions]

Seager moves the runner to 3rd.

Still only 1 out.

 

[death2redemptions]

And the Dodgers score the first run of the game.

See Diamondbacks, every other team can score in these situations, why can't you?

 

[death2redemptions]

Once again, we are playing from behind...

Archie had a good night a few days ago as well. Please, lord, send Rubby to the bullpen where he belongs and give us Archie!

Yeah I've seen about a seasons worth of Rubby here in Boston and he is definitely more suited for a bullpen role with his lack of fastball command. He has the potential to be a late inning shutdown guy with his swing-and-miss stuff and velocity, but I think his days as a starter should be over.

When do you guys think Bradley and Shipley will be called up to Arizona?

 

[death2redemptions]

And we go down in order, as expected.

When you fail to score in spots like the 2nd inning it changes the entire course of the game. I can say with confidence that we have lost this game already.

And another leadoff hit for the Dodgers.

 

[death2redemptions]

I'm calling it now, we will get swept by the Dodgers. A lousy team like ours has no chance against a team like the Dodgers.

If they were called up today it wouldn't be soon enough but I honestly don't know how long they will continue with this Rubby experiment.

Corbin K Count: 1

Took long enough to get one.

I wasn't too sad when the Sox traded Rubby for Miley....Miley is most definitely no ace, but you more or less know what to expect from him.

Corbin

What are your thoughts on Corbin? Think now that he's healthy he can take that next step?

I really think he could be something special, in fact I believe he'll be our best pitcher this year.

 

[death2redemptions]

Leadoff walk for Peralta.

Obviously he won't score. Castillo fails to do anything.

 

[death2redemptions]

Just like that, 2 quick outs.

Peralta hasn't moved past 1st base.

 

[death2redemptions]

Here comes Tomas, the worst all around player in the world.

 

[death2redemptions]

Tomas is aboard on an error. One of the very few ways he can actually get on base.

But here comes Corbin...the second time of the game where having the pitcher hit 8th has hurt us.

 

[death2redemptions]

0-for-5 with RISP

 

[death2redemptions]

Our offense sucks
Our defense sucks
Our starting pitching sucks
Our bullpen sucks

I wish I could find a bright spot...well, we do have a player with a cool name (Socrates Brito) so I guess I'll focus on that.
