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

[Ronin]

Reds have runners on 1st and 2nd, no out.

 

[Ronin]

big strikeout there. 2 on 1 out for the Reds.

 

[Dback Jon]

Ahmed. WTF

 

[Ronin]

Come on Godley. That should have been a double ending play.

Torey Lovullo spent pregame talking about how the Diamondbacks aren't doing the fundamental things they usually do. That play right there probably made his stomach turn.

Why does everyone expect a win against a team with less wins? The are still a major league team with major league talent. The are outplaying us. Simple.

True, in sports, games aren't won on paper but CIN's pitching staff is terrible. In theory, if you don't have true major league talent on your roster you're not going to win. CIN is 52-65 as of this morning, they are way below .500, its not like they have a couple less wins that ARZ and are above .500. Teams below .500 either can't hit, can't pitch or can't field, as I said CIN's pitching staff is terrible...no SP has less than a 4.5 ERA. That is pitching ARZ should be feasting on in comparison to say LAD, HOU, NYY, BOS or MIL.

 

[Dback Jon]

That was a needed two-run shot by Goldy

Good outing by Godley - definately needed

 

[Dback Jon]

Ahmed doubles top of ninth - would be great to tack on a run or two.

 

[Dback Jon]

And boy did we ever tack on some runs!!

Escobar!

Goldy!

Peralta!!

 

[Dback Jon]

9-2 going into bottom of nine

 

[Shaggy]

What is with this team when it comes to the 8th and 9th innings? Their bats explode in those innings. Can't they just do this same thing in all the other innings?

 

[Dback Jon]

Andriese in to pitch

Or the first inning. Many games they score a bunch in the first, then nothing

 

[Dback Jon]

One down, two to go

 

[Dback Jon]

Two down - close this puppy out!

 

[Shaggy]

Or the first inning. Many games they score a bunch in the first, then nothing

Thats right. So true!

Now if Colorado can hold off the Dodgers.

 

[Dback Jon]

That's a win!!

Today's game was instant gratification . . . but not a long range plan.

Losing two out of three to a last place team should remind us that we need to be able to manufacture runs on a routine basis.
