First pitch is set for 7:15 p.m. Arizona time
... Or maybe not.
To replace Peralta's .309 batting average in LF is LoCastro's .235.
Is that the best we can do? A Minor League callup to replace Peralta?
And, once again, Dyson's team leading on-base-percent of .368 is
benched and replaced by Vargas' .186 batting average.
Vs. lefties, Dyson has an OPB of .500 (including 3 walks)
while Vargas has an OBP of half that -- .250 (with no walks).
Two reasons why Dyson should not be benched.
@%*# . . . Think on your feet, Torey. Play to win.
And the Front Office needs to get a better bench.
Vargas started at 2B with Marte moving to CF to replace Dyson vs. a lefty. So it is a continuation of Torey's lineup.Torey isn't at tonight's game but I assume he set the lineup? Our did he give up that duty tonight?
What has happened to Robbie Ray? He was on the verge
of being a 1-a pitcher to Greinke and his heir apparent to
take over if Greinke were to be traded.
Not any more!

There’s no rule that requires you to try and avoid inside pitches.The pitch that hit him (second time this game) was about an inch off the plate.
Talk about crowding home plate.
True! My observation was that the pitch was just off the strike zone. Pitches that have been called strikes a lot.There’s no rule that requires you to try and avoid inside pitches.
Oh yeah, but it is kind of a dubious talent. The kind of thing that really pusses you off when the other team does it.True! My observation was that the pitch was just off the strike zone. Pitches that have been called strikes a lot.
Godley hits a batter. Then underhands a comebacker to 1B for the 3rd out.
And Lecastro leads off the 9th with 3 HBP so far. 'Think the Giants will
retaliate? Nope, he hits a popup and won't get his 4th HBP.
