Should be very interesting to see how this team, and more importantly leaders such as Goldy, Perralta, Pollack and Escobar respond after being benched.
Not saying they have to produce a sweep... but, their play better resemble a high degree of high-quality effort and execution. No more stupid errors, particular mental errors (Goldy ending the game on a stolen base attempt!).

"Clutch" Peralta with the D-backs traditional 2-run HR in the 1st. That should help Greinke pitch naturally.

I hope, just as with the 2018 BabyBacks of the last game, we can score throughout the game.

Back to striking out. Already 5 Ks in the 3rd.

Just need to add more runs. Want them to go out winning!

Sadly, the same ol' story. A 2-run HR by Peralta in the 1st, then nothing through the 7th from the D-backs hitters.

And it's 6-2 Rockies in the bottom of the 8th. I see a 3-run bottom of the 9th to fall one short -- that's been done recently. If we're lucky.

Why oh why is the offense in a coma from the 2nd inning on?

Maybe we should have stuck with the . . . never mind. :shrug:

Ever since Pollock became a "power hitter", he has fallen apart. BB just referred to how he's been popping everything up. Popups -- the D-backs dilemma.

'Couldn't get the runner in from 3rd. Final = 6-2 Rockies.

Something needs to be done about the Diamondbacks hitting philosophy before next season.

Crazy how much they stink on offense. Another double digit strikeout total.

Put the second string back in tomorrow.

Let's see...2 runs on 5 hits, and 5 LOB.
Add in, no runs scored after the 1st.

This is like an old cassette tape: score early, and don't bother much for the rest of the game. Could someone kindly rewind the tape back to zero for tomorrow's game? Chances are it will be a lot like this...save on broadcast costs.
