The D-backs grab a one run lead.

Until Bracho comes in and immediately gives up a HR. Tied 1-1.

Silvino Bracho is not even good enough to be a Little League pitcher. :oops:

Have I reacted to his pitching before? 'Sorry!

That was great base running by Marie, scoring on a popup to short RF in the top of the 12th. The Padres right fielder triple-clutched and Ketel took advantage of it. Or maybe he triple-clutched because Ketel was headed home.

Meanwhile, Archie needs to reinvent himself over the winter.

Not any more. A walk-off extra base hit for the Padres.

It's 12:15 AM. Happy Saturday!

Couldn't believe someone was texting me so late/early. Then I remembered the end of game texts I get from KTAR. Bingo.

Is there ANYONE in the bullpen you want to see pitch next year? Very few for me.

Lopez...ummm Lopez...hmmm. Ok Hirano.

You know that Archie cuda-shudda-wudda be on that list. With his fastball and bravado, it shouldn't be that difficult for him to work on two dependable backup pitches over the winter.

Yeah I get that. I am, justifiably, not on the Archie bandwagon. I don't think he has it in him to make adjustments...that whole bravado thing. I notice you only added one name to the list meaning this would be a huge bullpen overhaul.

It's middle of the 6th in this final game and it's tied 2-2, thanks to a pinch hit HR by Souza this inning, just his fifth HR of the season. Marte had an earlier HR for the other run.

Jimmy Sherfy came in to replace Robbie Ray in the 5th and left the bases loaded. Brito had lost a fly ball in the sun in RF.

Socrates Brito with a 1-out sac fly with runners on 2B and 3B to give the D-backs a one run lead in the top of the 9th.

Archie will be the closer today. Lopez in line for the win. Yoshi and Lopez looks like they could anchor the bullpen next year.

Why has Fox Sports AZ been showing Propositions ads for Nevada and California repeatedly during D-backs games? :shrug:

And Archie gives up three singles. It's now a tie game with one out. A double play takes us to extra innings.

Oh, Archie! For a closer, you do great TV commercials. :)
