Again, bats on fire yesterday then dead today. It always seems to happen when Ray is pitching. He never gets any run support.

A pitchers' battle. But the Cubs triple in a run in the 6th. 1-0.

The D-backs facing a new pitcher late in the game.

With Walker, who does most of his damage late in games,
available to pinch hit.

Jarrod Dyson ties the game with a 1-out HR in the 9th. He has 2 of our 3 hits.

His settling in at the leadoff spot (against righties, anyway) has been a difference maker.

There has still never been a 1-0 game between the D-backs and Cubs.


Don't blow it, Archie.

That’s why you always pick the ball up with your bare hand!

A poked double down the first base line which Adam Jones in RF turns from a double
to the winning run on 3rd base with a bobble.

Runners now on 1st & 3rd.

And a base hit wins the game for the Cubs.

Archie needs to be "promoted" to the Public Relations dept.

For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge!!! *@&#* :(

I said this last time AB lost the game for us-

WHY WHY WHY!!!!!??????

WHY PUT the WORST pitcher on the planet in when we have much better choices????

Bradley must have paid off Luvollo. Or is black mailing him.

WHY???? They could have left Chafin in even!!!!

My husband and I literally cringed when we saw the bullpen warming up. OMG. NEVER BRADLEY!!!!

It was the right call. Unfortunately, it appears Archie hasn't recovered from last year's collapse. He might be done. This is starting to look a lot like what happened to Mark Wohlers.

I don't like Archie's quote about the ball not bouncing his way.

Whether he started the inning or came in with runners on base (including the error
allowing a double to wind up on third or the lucky poke down the 1B line itself) . . .

Archie gave up the walk-off single. There is no safety net in the bottom of the 9th.
Archie gave up the walk-off single!

Sadly for the D-backs, Holland is the only late reliever who is doing his job. Neither
Archie nor Yoshi are doing theirs in the 7-8-9 combo. That hurts!
