Yeah but he took a foul off his knee during that AB

That is true but he wasn't watching the 3rd base coach to see if he should run, he was watching where the ball went.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

E-Rod already in trouble again. Corners with 1 out.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

E-Rod gets the double play and escapes the bases loaded jam

 

[RON_IN_OC]

If Blaze plays third base last year, as well as he's playing this year, the Suarez DFA decision may have actually happened. I love that this kid has really worked hard to improve his game. His throwing arm is electric!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Locklear gets his first steal. Looked easy for him

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Thomas with another single and it is 4-0

 

[TJ]

Alek Thomas figured out how to hit a baseball

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Kaiser Söze almost with another bloop hit.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

E-Rod is doing great now.

Right now he's at career high numbers in OBP and OPS

Good. The team needs him to have an above average bat in the lineup, especially since our current lineup is nearly half minor leaguers

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Kurtz up with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And Kurtz gets a single and it is 4-2

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Probably need to get someone up in the pen.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Thomas 3-3. Too bad Locklear overshot the base on the stolen base attempt

 

[RON_IN_OC]

For a big dude, he's got some wheels...and good timing.

 

[TJ]

Surprised Blaze can hit a ball outside of the infield

 

[TJ]

I love Steve Berthiume. He talks as if the D-Backs can make a run to end the season despite the fact that this lineup has been decimated by trades and injuries.

He's got a pitch that $17.99 Dbacks TV deal with a straight face.

Arizona's minor league team wins the series against Northern California's minor league team. But that is what is supposed to happen after a fire sale - let the youngsters play and prove they belong on the roster next year!

Reminds me of a couple of years ago, young team playing above themselves. Grinding out at bats, creating chaos on the bases and playing good defense.(and I know it’s just the A’s but it’s a start)

Anyone else notice how much trouble the As had with pop ups in the wind and it didn’t seem to bother the Dbacks at all. Small but I definitely noticed it.

Rooker is a DH not a RF

That’s fair but it’s happened three or four times during this series . Kurtz and the catcher almost killed each other last night. Just seemed like there were quite a few plays where guys had to dive last minute to make a catch

Yeah they are horrific defensively.
