DBacks at Phillies Series Thread (8/23 - 8/25): Last one out, turn off the lights

[Jonas_steven]

I wear those same googles for racquetball! They really up my skills!

Imagine a Scherzer-Corbin 1-2 punch this year.

 

[Desert Glory]

Everytime I remember that we traded Scherzer I start to tear up.

If it makes you feel better, we also traded Parker who just went 8 innings and only gave up 1 run against Bal.

Scherzer-Corbin-Parker

 

[nogicat]

ok these two and 3 with SD SF and TOR

need to win 8 or 9 of those 11

that would give us a shot coming down the stretch for one final run

 

[Desert Glory]

Max 6 IP and gave up 0, Parker 8 IP and gave up 1. Not a bad day for ex Dbackers.

 

[Orange602]

I knew that we would regret the Parker for Cahill trade.

 

[Jonas_steven]

That was fucking awful! The umpire needs some googles!

 

[Arizona_Sting]

He was safe.

 

[Jonas_steven]

There is no way to tell if either of those guys would have been as good for the dbacks. Parker had control issues and scherzer never got run support here. It is a guessing game but it would have been fun to see.

Funny they have replay in Little League WS... saw that the other day. They overturned a bad call at first

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Scherzer had pretty solid numbers here in the year and a half he pitched for us. Great strikeout rate and a solid ERA for a guy in his rookie season. I was pissed when we traded him.

Meow!

They never gave Parker a shot here though. Scherzer at least got somewhat of a shot and they took a risk. I can't blame them too much for that. They gave up on Parker because they were afraid of the injury he had and gave up on him.

It the same reason I would hate to trade Skaggs just yet. He hasn't been that good, but he's only 13 starts in and has nasty stuff. It reminds me of how Kershaw pitched when he first came up. He was just as bad but you knew his stuff was nasty. Not saying Skaggs is Kershaw though lol.

Yeah, they gave him up way too early in his career.

You actually took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to say that we never really let Parker develop. He was supposed to be the first of a string of aces for this ball club. It is tragic really!

They have replay in college as well! MLB is behind the curve!

 

[Jonas_steven]

I am not going to say anything but this feels like a special night for del gato! ::

 

[Desert Glory]

Through Kershaws first 16 career starts, he had given up 40 ER in 79 IP for a 4.56 ERA.

I heart prado so much!
