Dyson is finally back in the leadoff spot, where he fits best.

Torey, if it is right to bat him there tonight, why did you move
Jones to leadoff?

And if it was right to move Jones to leadoff, why the change today?

There is absolutely no consistency in the manager's decisions.

On a well run team (or corporation or business), everyone
knows their roles. How they fit in should not be a guess.

As Lou & Bud would say . . .

Pitchers should have to wear some kind of device that gives them an electric shock every time they walk the lead off batter.

Sooo, Escobar drives in Peralta for a D-backs run in the top of the 1st.

A line drive DP ends the bottom of the 1st with 2 runners on base.

And Ahmed with a 2-run HR in the top of the 2nd with no outs.

When is Brenly coming back? Gonzo should only fill in sparingly.

Last game, Steve said that BB has been "on assignment" with his facetious tone. That usually mean family time.

Why do you specifically not like Gonzo's color commentary? He is knowledgeable, personable and works
smoothly with Steve, considering that he is a fill-in.

Steve’s tone changes (more stiff) and Gonzo just has a flat affect. I enjoy Steve and BB a lot so any change to that is usually viewed negatively by me :)

Bob Brenly is the best in the business. He is not an easy act to follow.

On the field, Dodgers with a run in the bottom of the 2nd on 3 straight hits. 3-1 D-backs.

I would be happy if I never hear the cheater Gonzo again. That is my opinion.

Time for Clarke to return to Reno. He just is not a MLB pitcher.

Why would you pinch-hit for chaffin when you’ve got three lefties coming up for the Dodgers

Mad props to the bullpen so far. One more inning to go. Hopefully we can tack on another run
