Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks Game Thread (July 8 - 10)

And just think how the Apaches feel...

 

With Montero and Kennedy being all but-hurt over Puig, I want to give Kirk Gibson some credit for the following quotes (it's probably been posted already, but I wasn't paying attention).

Gibson on Puig:

So far so good with Puig, I just hope the Dodgers stay on top of him so he doesn't start acting like a typical 22 year old.

 

Except with RISP.

 

I thought Ryu was shot in the first inning, actually.
I still don't get why DBB let him pitch to "Goldie" with that MOB situation....he clearly was out of gas, or never had any might be another way to explain it. When he is missing his spots (anybody really), he can give it up in a hurry. I guess he was going for the 5 innings thing, but sometimes you can't be such a "good guy". Gotta do the best for the situation.
We will be pretty bushed tonight against CARGO and CO, and it's a shame AJ has to sit with his clutch stuff. Might see him late as a PH tonight.
It's amazing what a hitter he has turned out to be...along with his CS percentage, if he was better at blocking the ball, he would be as good as we've had in a long while....all around.
What a win. Damn...far out.
Cap tonight...I think I'll just hope for the best.

 

So then, what is Eric Collins?

 

I missed the end of last night's game (I need to watch it later today), but Adrian Gonzalez's AB in the 9th inning was as professional as I've seen all season.

Gonzalez-Hanley-AJ. All 3 were up with the attitude they just weren't going to be the last out. No one was trying to be a hero.

 

Mom's a bad announcer, dad doesn't know anything about baseball.

We have an incredibly hard stretch right after the break pretty much straight through August 11th

Nationals
Jays
Reds
Yankees
Cubs
Cardinals
Rays

 

Good thing we get pomeranz tonight dude hasn't made it out of the 4th in his 2 starts.

 

Really only have to worry about the cards IMO.

 

Neither has Crapuano. Zing!!!!!

Gonna need to win this one about 10-8.

 

and Reds

 

Hopefully the mediocrity will balance out.

 

I like to think the Nationals, Jays, Reds, Yankees, Cubs, Cardinals, and Rays have a hard stretch after the break.

 

Puig is on Manny-hate level with Dback fans. It is bbeeeaaaauuuttiifffuullll.

 

LOL

They have fans.

 

All 10,000 of them.

 

Alright, when the fuck are they posting this bkitch?
