Series Thread: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

[BPNAZ]

hey, a CF that belongs in CF.........imagine that

 

[BPNAZ]

This is 100% on ownership to not acquire a real center fielder. Owings has been awful out there. He takes stupid paths to the ball and does not know how to play the position. And he is nowhere near a productive enough hitter to justify his being out there consistently. That missed fly ball just cost the team 5 runs. Probably lost the game with that one play. Should have caught that ball. No need to slide. It was ridiculous.

its this ridiculously arrogance the FO continues to have and its no wonder why this team is so fucking inconsistent

amazing offense last night, they will get shutdown tonight......and back to .500

rinse repeat

a .500 team.......pretty much like every other season

It was impossible to predict that Greinke and Miller would be this bad. It is not because Chase Field is a hitters park. Not even close. Johnson won 4 Cy Youngs and should have actually won 5. Schilling finished behind Johnson in multiple seasons. Brandon Webb was amazing as a Diamondback and won a Cy Young. Dan Haren pitched pretty well. Ian Kennedy and Daniel Hudson were fantastic in 2011. This organization has always had at least one great starting pitcher on the team that did well until very recently.

I am sure the offense is beyond frustrated. It is like they have to score like 10 runs or more a game to give themselves a chance to win. They are one of the best offenses in baseball. Idk what to say. Greinke and Miller have been a disaster. No other way to explain it.

 

[Goldy]

Well, at least its not a shutout.

 

[The Derski]

I'm feeling a Jake Lamb home run tonight.

Boom

 

[Goldy]

Only need 7 more of those.

It is one thing to sign a player to a massive contract and not get what you expect out of him. It is an entirely different thing to trade a package of players like the Diamondbacks did for Miller and get nothing out of him. It is inexcusable. The only way for the organization to justify the Miller trade is for him to pitch like an ace which he pitched like last year. What he is doing this year is beyond belief. He has not even had one good start. The Diamondbacks gave up enormous value for him. If he does not pitch like an ace, it could be the worst trade in Arizona Diamondbacks history. I certainly hope that is not the case.

I wonder if he's suffering from a nagging injury? Blisters? I don't know. If that's the case, they need to just sit him down until he's 100% because it's clear this is not a guy that can be productive unless he's operating at max health.

If he's physically fine, maybe a trip to the pen to gain some confidence could be in order. They just can't send him to the minors yet considering the trade and what he's getting paid. The guy has been the worst pitcher in the league. It's truly amazing...in the worst way.

Hale needs to sit guys down if they aren't up to the task. If someone has the flu...don't play him. If someone has blisters...don't play him. This isn't the first round of the playoffs. It's early in the season.

D-backs hope to set record for most dogs at sporting event

Is this a joke? Greinke and Miller have been atrocious and the organization is worried about how many dogs they can fit into the stadium. FOCUS ON WINNING A DAMN CHAMPIONSHIP YOU IDIOTS! Hard to imagine Colangelo ever caring about anything like this. Is this a baseball stadium or a dog park. If you need more fans, spend more money on better players. Idk what to say. What is going on with this team.

 

[The Derski]

Cardinals already have first and third no outs before you can even blink

 

[The Derski]

And that's going to be an error on Ahmed

 

[johnson]

Peralta back hitting cleanup? Bizarre. They finally removed him from that spot and it worked great. Going back to what didn't work for no apparent reason.

 

[Goldy]

Cue delayed response: DRURY!!!!!!!

I'm hoping they break the record. Hope everyone brings pooper scoopers.

After a night of listening to Eric Karros, I wont complain about Berthuime anymore.

 

[DweeberAZ]

Goldy launches one.

 

[BrockForBroglio]

That was a Goldy BOMB

Wainwright usually has his problems in the 4th, 5th inning
