Arizona Diamondbacks @ Washington Nationals April 27 - April 29

Please, someone tell Robbie to just throw some strikes tomorrow and not throw 100 pitches in 4 innings.

2001 Marlins? They are reporting everywhere that it is the first time since 1907 that a team has opened with 9 series wins.

First NL team do it since the Cubs, not the whole MLB. 2001 Marlins did it. I just would like to know if they are the record holders of it still and how high did they get. I'll look it up I guess.

I guess it was the NL but now I hear it was the Mariners in 2001, not the Marlins.

The series streak gets a lot more difficult for the next four series. Not just because of who we play but how many games each series is. 3 of the next 4 have an even number of games.

4 against the Dodgers, 3 against the Astros, 2 against the Dodgers then 4 against the Nationals. In the 4 game series they have to win 3 out of 4 to win the series and they have to sweep both games in a 2 game series. I honestly just hope they come out of that stretch with a winning record but I'm not going to complain if they keep the streak going.

BTW it was definitely the Mariners not the Marlins. That was the team that ended up winning 116 games or so and IIRC got bounced in the first round of the playoffs.
Hasn't been done in the NL since the 1907 Cubs who won their first 11 series.

Hmm.. I might have heard it wrong then.

Robbie Ray has been removed from today's #Dbacks game. T.J. McFarland is coming in to pitch.

We'll share an update when we have one.

Robbie Ray is walking off the field with a trainer. This is not good.

Robbie was pointing to his right side when trainers came out. Purely speculation, but could be an oblique strain. Didn’t look like an arm thing.

Robbie Ray looked like he was motioning toward his right side, maybe the oblique area. He looked a little fidgety for at least a few pitches before his final one, after which he called out the training staff.

We won't know the timeline until we know it's Grade 1, 2, or 3.

"While some mild oblique strains can be resolved in just a few days, severe strains can require surgery with a recovery time of 3-4 months."

He should have been charged two errors on that play.

#Dbacks can't complete the sweep but still head home with another series win.

Can’t win em all. Considering it all, McFarland kept us in the game, so great job by him on short notice.
