Arizona Diamondbacks @ Cincinnati Reds Aug 10 - Aug 12, 2018

[Ronin]

3 game series
Today- Buchholz Vs DeScalfani
Saturday- Ray Vs Harvey
Sunday- Godley Vs Castillo

 

[AZCrazy]

Every one of our pitchers in this series can be dominant on a good day. That's not bad, out of your 3,4, and 5 pitchers. We're going into three straight series against rebuilding opponents. Gotta take advantage, this is where we can get a foothold against the evil empire.

[Ronin]

Pollock with the base hit.
Just doubles is batting now

 

[Ronin]

Escobar flies out to center to end the inning

 

[BC867]

The starting lineups show a lot of .300 hitters for the Reds. So they'll have a lot of runners on base.

Their 3-day pitching rotation shows high ERA's for the starters. So we'll need to score runs consistently.

And ... they announced that Torey will be using a set lineup (except at Catcher, I'm sure) from now on.

So Descalso and Jay are our main subs. Especially with an extra pitcher and one less position player until the rosters expand.

 

[BC867]

And, sure enough, the Reds have the bases loaded.

EDIT: luckily all left on base. But it takes its toll on our starting pitcher.

 

[Ronin]

Bases are now loaded for the Reds. 2 out.

 

[Ronin]

Phew Buchholz got out of that jam. Unscathed. Thankfully.

 

[Ronin]

Dbacks go down in order yet again.

 

[Dback Jon]

Reds pitcher only 67 pitches through 5. Make him pitch, guys.

 

[Ronin]

1,2,3 inning for Buchholz

 

[Ronin]

Oof. 1,2,3 inning for the Reds pitcher.

 

[Ronin]

runner on first and third, no outs.
