LA has tied it and they are still up.

 

[Lefty]

[Lefty]

Early game tomorrow, let's get the sweep. Thankfully the Cards prevailed.

 

[PoolBoy]

great game today! way to go webbie!

 

[crisper57]

Day game today. Don't forget to tune in.

 

[Skkorpion]

And realizing that he should swing at only strikes.

It would have been nice if his Manager and Hitting Coach had realized that a year and a half ago.

'Sorry for repeating myself, but I hate to see a young player take the blame for not being coached properly.

I'm not buying what you are pushing here, BC. In Young, I see a guy with a fat contract suddenly unwilling to risk his health.

Evidence:

1. Hardly attempts to steal anymore;
2. Never, ever dives for a catchable ball;
2. In the game in LA, forget which, he turned his head and body away from the ball and the wall, just as he was about to catch the deep drive, afraid to run a glancing blow into the padded wall. The move pulled his glove away, the ball fell, runs scored. He wasn't that close to the wall and barely touched it.

He's not dogging it. Young is being overly careful.

 

[Desert Rat]

No run support for Randy so far. If I must...
Hey Karstens, YOU HAVE A PERFECT GAME GOING!
I'm glad he's not a yankee anymore, but GEEZ!

 

[Dback Jon]

Ugh - what is it with the Dbacks and no name pitchers...

 

[Lefty]

Will the Diamondbacks get no-hit? A perfect game thru five, will he get it?

 

[Dback Jon]

58 pitches through 5. Take some damn pitches, Dbacks

 

[Dback Jon]

And an 11 pitch 6th. horrid patience, coaching.

 

[FArting]

Young has been doing good the past 2 games. I dropped him on Monday.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Not watching the game - is he throwing strikes, or are the DBacks swinging out of the zone?

 

[crisper57]

7 perfect innings. Damn it!

 

[Shzm13]

Sucks for Randy.. He had been pitching a pretty good game himself

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Since Johnson has to come out due to pitch count, it will soon be 3-0 or so. Which wouldn't be too bad, except the DBacks are getting embarassed. Sad.

Edit: He stayed in for the 8th. Still sad.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

And, their pitcher now has two more hits than the entire DBack team. FAIL!

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Brilliant managing! Bring in the relief after the damage is done.

 

[Dback Jon]

Brilliant move to have Randy start the 8th...


Bone head Bo mel

 

[Shzm13]

Qualls in = white flag.

 

[Lefty]

This inning shows us once again how bad a manager Melvin is.

 

[Desert Rat]

They're trying to kill the ball with each swing. Lots of fly outs.

Not only is KARstens throwing a perfecto, he has two hits!

Melvin left Randy in too long, putting personal accomplishments above what is better for the team in the game. Can the managing be any worse?! No, because it is the worst!
