3 game series starts today
Dbacks are a road dog in the first game against a Houston SP with a 6.45 ERA. Speaks volumes to the Dbacks' poor road record as well as the recent offensive struggles. Let's hope they can win 1 of 3 against an Astros team that is also slightly above .500.
3 games under .500 on the road is hard to characterize as "poor." The goal is always to play .500 on the road and much better at home. They're .570 at home with the same # of home W's as the Dodgers, Padres and Cubs, and more than the Phillies.Dbacks are a road dog in the first game against a Houston SP with a 6.45 ERA.

I think we all know Barrosa was not here for his bat...In total, he has stepped to the plate 254 times in his big league career with a 6.3% walk rate, 26% strikeout rate, .180/.241/.302 line and 49 wRC+. Blech

True contenders balance a "great" home record with a "good" road record or better. A "good" record is .500 or better. A "great" record is 10+ games over .500.3 games under .500 on the road is hard to characterize as "poor." The goal is always to play .500 on the road and much better at home.

I got Carroll hiit and a run, Gabby a hit and a RBI, Waldy a hit, and Alvarez with a hit and a RBI. pays $271 with the boost on $10. Will cash out if I get half
Carroll is trending toward very dangerous territory. His swing is simply far too long. Yea, he might time one up every now and then, but for comparison - watch the swing of Alvarez and you’ll see how a consistent hitter and slugger swing the bat, as opposed to Carroll…
I think he’s hurt. He looked uncomfortable at the plateIt sure looked like Arrenado was dogging it down the line on that inning ender
He’s desperate and lost… never a good thing when you step to the plate and are clueless as to get the barrel of the bat on the ball.He’s also chasing a ton of crap pitches outside of the zone. He has no plate discipline right now
