[Dback Jon]

A classic example of what missing Spring Training and the first month of the season looks like...

Hopefully Borass' other remaining clients are looking hard at what he did to Montgomery

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Nelson is pitching better, so of course he's the odd man out of Torey's rotation

Torrey should have no part in figuring out the pitching rotation or who's in the pen. He's the worst at it.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

There's got to be somebody else on the 40 man roster who'll give up less than 6 runs a game.

He's in the bullpen.

 

[krazy2k]

Lovullo is out of his ever lovin' mind to continue to trot Montgomery out there. The guy's ERA is approaching 7 for goodness sake. DFA the bum. And his ERA is increasing against the worst team in the NL.

 

[krazy2k]

Lovullo threw in the towel on this game when he named Montgomery the starting pitcher instead of DFA'ing him.

 

[FB94]

Seen enough of Monti, have him be roommates with Henry in Reno

 

[Dback Jon]

They answered back!

Can the bullpen hold a one run lead in the last three innings?

 

[Dback Jon]

Ginkel pitches a clean 7th

7-6 Dbacks after 7

 

[Dback Jon]

Perdomo tacks on a run with an HR

 

[Dback Jon]

8-6 going to the bottom of 8

 

[Dback Jon]

Mantiply in

 

[krazy2k]

8-6 going to the bottom of 8

Spin the wheel of fortune for the next reliever.

 

[Dback Jon]

Spin the wheel of fortune for the next reliever.

And Mantiply has already given up a run with only one out

 

[Bobster]

Mantiply gives one of them back. Now 8-7.

 

[Chaplin]

Did they just put Rick Vaughn in? Doesn't he hold the record for the most hit batsmen in the California Penal League?

 

[krazy2k]

Oh my lord...does this mean Sewald's Folly for the 9th - or will Wild Thing go for the 5 out save? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Bobster]

Nice job by Martinez, better job by Herrera

 

[Dback Jon]

Martinez comes and gets the last two outs of the eighth.

8-7 Dbacks after eight

 

[Dback Jon]

Two more runs!

 

[Chaplin]

Whattya know? Run support!

 

[Dback Jon]

Herrera with the triple

 

[krazy2k]

Yes! A buffer for Sewald's Folly or Thompson's Tragedy in the bottom of the 9th.

 

[krazy2k]

Well, at least the opposing pitcher today has almost as high an ERA as Montgomery. Chance for the sweep if the offense can put up about 10 runs or so. The DBacks may need every one!

Like I said...lol

 

[Dback Jon]

10-7 going to the bottom of the night

 

[krazy2k]

No closer...big problem.
