Arizona Diamondbacks 2013 Ongoing Thread

That picture alone makes me like him already

I thought the same thing. If nothing else, genuine!

Skaggs pitched amazingly. DBacks are on a mini roll right now and it seems the SP have kind of controlled themselves.

 

[nogicat]

heck of an outing by skaggs tonight. Hope we can build our lead on this homestand.

The Dodgers are going blow for blow from here on out if I had to guess. This month is big for the DBacks, they have one of the easiest schedules this month and have to take advantage of that.

I agree this month is crucial.
Dodgers will be our main competition but I do expect the Giants to wake up at some point and make one run
Rockies and Padres will fade.

Honestly I think I'm more afraid of the Rockies than I am of the Giants at this point. Giants seem to have so many issues and I expected the Rockies to lose lots of ground when Tulo went down, but they've hung around and he is almost back now.

The Padres I don't know what to think of them, it seems like they have been 2 completely different teams, but you can say that about our DBacks.

Now that ESPN is down (starting the 17th), a few AZ regulars will probably be migrating over here. We also set up our own XAT chat where we have all the regulars on currently. We had about 25-30 guys over on ESPN total so we'll see how many decide to post here.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Also, why can't I post new threads?

 

[nogicat]

go to the list of threads page and it should say "new thread" the bottom or something like that

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Well since this is the "ongoing" thread I'll try to post more on here.

Terrible job tonight, we need to win tomorrow. Bad.

Stark gave Ian Kennedy the Cy Yuk award for the first half. (Worst pitcher)


First-half MLB MVPs, Cy Youngs, rookies and managers - ESPN

NL Cy Yuk: Ian Kennedy
I almost handed this prestigious non-trophy to the portion of the Giants' rotation not known as "Madison Bumgarner," since, at last look, that group had somehow run up an incomprehensible 5.15 ERA. But in the end, I decided this was just a bunch of guys with a championship track record who were paying the unfortunate cost of winning in an age where October has turned into a max-effort, four-week marathon. So I've turned instead to Kennedy, for all sorts of reasons.

Because his 5.31 ERA isn't real ace-like for a team in first place, but is the third-highest among all qualifying NL starters. … Because he has allowed a .789 opponents OPS, the fifth-highest among NL starters. … Because he's let opposing pitchers hit .281 against him. (They hit .107 against the rest of civilization.) … Because he has a 7.34 ERA against teams that are currently .500 or better. … Because he has gone 0-2, with a 6.63 ERA, in three starts against the club his team most lives to beat, the Dodgers. … And, speaking of the Dodgers, shouldn't this guy get extra Cy Yuk points for setting off the ugliest brawl of the season by firing that pitch at Zack Greinke's noggin, no matter how justified he might have thought it was at the time? Our committee said yes, he should. So there ya go.
