I think a sweep is a foregone conclusion at this point. I hope it isn't as ugly as the two practice games before the start of the season.

This team could easily be 2-8 after this series. Followed by the Astros. It can get really ugly with the following series with the Padres and A's after that.

I hope they can salvage some of these games. But also it will only prolong keeping Torey around and holding this team back.

This team has hit 1 home run in 6 games. If that doesn't change they have zero chance.

How ironic that "lift" has not only made them losers, but they're not even successful at "lifting"!

The only thing the D-backs hitters are successful at is LOB.

And for a team who lives and dies by the homer, their one pure "lift" hitter on the roster sits on
the bench except for an occasional start or pinch hitting appearance. While the line drive hitters
are not producing.

The D-backs home opening day pre-game show/ceremony starts in ten minutes at 5:30.

As much as I don't like listening to The Ego and The Man Child (Todd Walsh & Mark Grace),
I'll make an exception for this special occasion.

I'm a proud Phoenician and support our teams, no matter how . . .

Ho hum! 3-0 Dodgers going to the bottom of the 1st. Featuring a 2-run HR by ex-D-back AJ Pollock.

Ketel, the D-backs second best RBI man, plays his role as leadoff hitter and singles.

Followed up by two harmless popups. Great strategy! :rolleyes:

And a lineout to end the inning.

OK, I'm going to chill and, in an hour, watch two of my favorite British mysteries on PBS.

This is not an editorial comment.

Another Dodger HR to lead off the 2nd and it's 4-0.

The team has quit on Torey. Hazen has no choice but to fire him.

Bases loaded for the Dodgers with two outs in the 2nd.

Robbie is up to 48 pitches.
