Geez... the out by Pujols was a friggin rocket... Archie is flat out getting SHELLED! Even on outs! TL is gonna have some very difficult decisions to make with this pen... I don’t envy him.

I am really disappointed that Torey Lovullo has been admitting to the Press that he's making a lot of bad decisions. He has had the better part of a season to get his mistakes out of the way.

And now, it is time to remove Archie from the 7-8-9 rotation until they can figure out how to overcome his "Here comes my fastball. Let's see if you can hit it. Oops!"

If he is not going to develop a different pitch, he's not helping us. I'm not giving up on him. This can be resolved. But I am questioning Lovullo's decisions.

That is the problem of hiring first-time Major League managers. Trial and error.

Normally when the score is tied at home in the 8th, you can have high hopes.

When the D-backs have been shut down since the 3rd inning, they're not so high.

The Dbacks win the game with two bunts. Who knew they could do that

A hit batsman, two bunts and an error. As A.J. said, we'll take it.

Had to capitalize on Colorado losing to San Diego. Too grand of a gift

The D-backs better hold on to their luck. It's their best commodity after the 3rd inning.
