At least Lamb remains glued to the bench (thank God), but what is it going to take to put Starling Marte in the lead-off spot, where he belongs?

 

[BC867]

Or give Varsho a shot.

I know, it hasn't been a week yet since his last appearance.

Another day at the Coors circus. And Lovullo's pot-luck lineup.

You never know what dish is going to turn up from day to day.

Hit and miss. Maybe we'll luck out again at the slugfest.

Two wins in a row? Not the D-backs M.O.

Infield single for Walker.
Bases loaded for Escobar.

 

[Ronin]

Escobar flies out to left field to end the top half of the 1st inning.

 

[BC867]

Hey, I reversed my decision to not watch D-backs games for a while,
because they're playing at Coors Field.

So the first inning is two infield hits and a walk . . . and the bases
left loaded.

C'mon, now. That's not Coors baseball.

 

[Ronin]

Gallen gets the strikeout. 1 out.

 

[Ronin]

Another strikeout for Gallen. 2 out.

 

[BC867]

Charlie Blackmon with another hit. 5-for-6 so far in the series.

The guy is hitting in the upper .400's. And he is leading the
league in RBI's. And just about all of the other offensive
categories.

Steve is raving!

 

[Ronin]

Arenado flies out to right field to end the first inning.

 

[Ronin]

Kelly grounds out to third for the out. 1 out.

 

[Ronin]

Base hit for Locastro. Digs for two and gets it.

 

[Ronin]

Ahmed grounds out to short. 2 out.

 

[Ronin]

Young grounds out to third to end the top half of the second inning.

Freeland has retired 5 in a row
