Pinpointing it with a 2 run lead? Enjoy the ride. Life's too short.

We did have a 2-run lead yesterday ... and lost. I hope we can hold on to it. So far, our bullpen has gotten 6 out of 6 out.

 

[AZ Native]

Well, at least Kershaw is gone. He is today's version of Koufax. I like to watch him pitch, just not against us

But we are using the bullpen up quickly.

Kemp homers for the lead, American League baseball.

 

[BC867]

I guess one home run with two runners on base is better than two solo home runs.

Seriously, Kemp knew the fast ball was coming.

3-2 Dodgers.

 

[Shaggy]

Well Archie stinks.

 

[motion3]

Game over

 

[AZ Native]

Yeah, it's over now. We are incapable of manufacturing a run.

 

[Bert]

This local love affair with Archie needs to end. I love his enthusiasm too, but he's NOT the guy we should be pitching in the 8th. Every other caller on local sports radio is; "Why isn't Archie the closer???"

This is why.

 

[BC867]

From 2-0 up to 3-2 down, just as last night. In the words of Yogi, deja vu all over again.

Regarding Archie, he needs to master two -- not one but two -- pitches in addition to the fast ball over the winter. He used his curve ball tonight more than ever but, once he threw it, especially with 3 balls, Archie's fast ball was a dead duck.

Can't argue with that.

Kemp hit the hanging curve out

Kemp hit the hanging curve out

My bad! Didn't that make it three curve balls in a row? Or three out of four? I still believe that Archie needs to develop two pitches to back up his fast ball.


Regarding the D-backs role in the pennant race, in the words of Tony Williams and the Platters . . .

[Bert]

Thanks Archie!

 

[AZ Native]

We just don't have hthe horses to win this race but we have made it a race.

 

[BC867]

Ahmed still trying to make things happen with a line drive double with two outs in the 9th, but not enough.

Another come from behind 3-2 victory for the Dodgers and the Division lead is not just ours. The Dodgers have tied us.

Playoffs???

 

[AZCB34]

When they won Ray's start I figured they would take 2 of the next 3 at worst.

 

[AZ Native]

The best is yet to come.

Based on what evidence?

 

[AZ Native]

Based on what evidence?

The last 5 months and a little faith. Not your cup of tea? Feel free to drop out.

A little passive-aggressive, no?

 

[AZ Native]

A little passive-aggressive, no?

No, just an honest answer. You need evidence, I gave it to you. Enjoy the ride.

 

[Shaggy]

They just need to start hitting. Starting pitching has been great and the bull pen, minus Archie, has been OK the last week. If they were actually had a little more offense, their record would be quit different.
