Series Thread: DBACKS vs.. CUBS (Collmenter/De La Rosa/Hellickson)

[BACKSfromAZ]

Is it just me? Or do you all dread when it's Collmenter's turn in the rotation?

Anyway, some-how-some-way we made ourselves somewhat relevant again.

Tomas is making things Exciting, and Amed isn't the instant out anymore.

I dread when Collmenter starts. And when Hellickson starts. I am also now uncomfortable when Archie starts.

Look forward to Chase now and Rubby, just because he's interesting to watch, never know how his start is going to go.

Why do we continue to put Crapmenter out there to get shelled every 5th day.? The dudes fastball is 84 mph. That's batting practice. He's not a big leaguer. It's not rocket science.

Collmenter is going to end up in the BP if continues pitching like this.

-His velocity is down 2-3 mph.
-Lack of velocity is also effecting his control.
-Lack of control is causing long innings & short outings.

Corbin will be back mid June. Between Collmenter & Hellickson, whoever continues to struggle will likely be move to the BP.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Ahmed continuing to produce. I keep saying, if he can hit in the .230-.240 range, with his glove, he will have a long career at SS.

Collmenter struggled, but got through 5 innings, hopefully he can get through one more.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Hudson looking good tonight.

Can he go three or is that pushing it?

 

[The Derski]

Hudson needs to replace Crapmenter in the rotation.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Burgos in the 8th? I thought he was going to be used as the closer. I guess that means Ziegler is the closer? Or it this just a one-off game because the game is tied late?

It appears we have closer by committee.

 

[johnson]

Collmenter is a profoundly mediocre starter. He's had two incredible outings, two horrifying ones, and the other 4-5 were in the slightly crappy to average range.

Don't like Hudson being a starter now. I like him in the pen, esp in longer relief roles. With his injury history, I don't want to see him starting again.

I'd rather see Hellickson booted.

 

[The Derski]

I see Steve's depth perception is still sub par. Got damn you weren't even close!

 

[Davis_Mike]

Anyone willing to bet the farm on Reed giving up some runs in the top of the 10th?

 

[The Derski]

Lead off walk... Bryant will probably hit one to the moon right here

You called it...

 

[Davis_Mike]

You called it...

I get my farm back!

 

[The Derski]

BOOM!!!!!

 

[Davis_Mike]

BOOM BABY!

What was the manager thinking? Why pitch to Goldzilla with 1B open & 2 outs?

 

[Suns7]

Don't forget Pollock. He's been on fire lately.

 

[The Derski]

Tomas with that sneaky speed

 

[The Derski]

We all thank you, Chafin, for shaving officially the worst moustache I've ever seen.
