Home Opening Series: Reds at Diamondbacks (April 9-11, 2021)

Got our masks, clear bags, mobile tickets, and purple to wear (not fans of the Sedona Red).

Looking forward to another home opener.

Go Dbacks !!

Reds are playing well and they can generate some serious offense.

If you're hitting .080 you'd better be catching everything out there.

Escobar, well, he's killing us all over the place lately.

Our 3 and 4 hitters are batting .133 and .179 lol. This team can't hit, nor can they pitch. Its going to be a looooooong year. At least TL will get fired, tired of him running out uninspired baseball players to the field every game.

Six of the position players tonight are hitting under .200

Remember when the front office last year tried to play off the abysmal season by citing covid and shortened season lol. I knew this team was bad because they simply lack good baseball players. We only have a handful of pieces any other MLB team would want, the rest is absolute trash. There is no one in this lineup outside of Marte that scares anyone.

Marte, Peralta and Calhoun are the only every day players they have that I think could start for half the teams in the majors.

Not a bad come back. Still not a fan of the initial baserunner on second in extras..

Not only did the D backs put a bad product on the field but it was even worse for the fans

absolutely no social distancing. The lines for concessions were horrendous and not moving. Instead of having everything open to spread out the crowd they went cheap and only had a few open which concentrated everyone together.
They also staffed for a normal game in which most people are on the first two levels. Because of the social distancing there are far more people in the upper concourse and that’s where the major traffic jams were because they did not plan for that’

Not what I wanted to hear. My son and I are hitting the ASU baseball game next Friday. I am curious what that experience will be like

This team is unwatchable... I feel for Tory...being a captain on a ship you KNOW is sinking can be much fun.
And I honestly can’t see how this death-spiral is gonna change anytime soon. Aside from Galen and Marte, this team is literally void of any other player who would be starting on any other team. Incredible...

R. Smith actually pitched pretty good today. I hope he can keep it up. Escobar just now, as I am typing this, just hit a HR over center field fence, 8-2 D Backs.
