Series Thread: Dbacks vs. Giants (April 6th-8th)

[Arizona_Sting]

Baseball is almost back!

Things I'm looking forward to this year:

1) Archie Bradley
2) Yasmany Tomas
3) A Healthy Goldy-Trumbo combo
4) Pollock breakout year
5) Corbin's return

Things I'm not looking forward to this year:

1) Our rotation
2) Addison Reed
3) Our rotation
4) Tuffy Gosewich starting games
5) Our rotation

Our rotation is going to have a combined era under 1.0 and tuffy is going to throw out every batter who tries to steal while hitting for the triple crown!

 

[Jonas_steven]

I was told by the dbacks organization that we strictly have only ones in our rotation. That is good enough for me!

 

[DweeberAZ]

Ones of what? That is the question...

 

[Davis_Mike]

Do we need a 2015 win/losses prediction thread? After trading Cahill, I'll add 2 more wins to my initial prediction.

-79-83
-Tomas starts in Reno
-Owings starts @ 2B
-Ahmed starts @ SS
-Lamb starts @ 3B
-R/L platoon in LF between Peralta/Ross

And last but not least, FUCK THE GIANTS.

First man out of most decent rotations?!?!

 

[Arizona_Sting]

I say 75 wins and Hill, Ross and Reed all get dealt.

 

[Jonas_steven]

I am thinking 72 is a stretch with our rotation. I think the offense will keep is in games but the pitching will ultimately be our undoing.

 

[Orange602]

100 victories. 2015 World Series Champs!

 

[Orange602]

Goldy converts to pitcher midway through the season and wins the Cy Young!

This statement tells me that Lamb will be the starting day 3B & Tomas will start in Reno.

Hale has reportedly mentioned Tomas as a starter in LF with Lamb at 3rd so maybe if they move Hill before the season starts they can find room for Yasmany to start on the Opening Day roster.

From the tweets of quotes I have been reading, Ross will start against LHP & Peralta against RHP. I just don't see ABs for Tomas right now. I think it would be better for him to start the season in Reno & get regular playing time rather than riding the pine or platooning in the big leagues. He needs everyday work at 3B & LF.

 

[Orange602]

Good to see Ahmed get the starting spot. Lets see if they get something useful for Hill.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Another thing I forgot to add that I'm looking forward to… having the #1 overall pick in the upcoming draft. Woo!

 

[Davis_Mike]

Anyone watching the Dbacks/Cubs game? It's on FSAZ+.

Yep. good play by Goldy

 

[DweeberAZ]

Too bad we can't trade Steve Berthiaume for something... anything.
