I understand why Garcia is hitting second, but I also don't understand it.

Put Peterson or Swanson there!

 

[cajunrevenge]

Calling Swanson'D first homer tonight.

 

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Dansby Swanson

 

[WaitingFor2017]

For those still wanting the #1 pick, it'd be best for Atlanta to lose at least once more in the series as to not gain ground on the next closest team (besides Minny).

I'm only allowed the Diamondbacks feed for these games. As such, I just ate some poison—so please tell me if Joe Simpson says anything that might induce vomiting.

 

[mqt]

Dansby with the bases loaded!!

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Damn Dansby.

 

[jsebe10]

Damn Dansby.

Yea he should probably pick the bat up off his shoulder

 

[msstate7]

Kemp's range is really improving. He's covering so much ground now he almost overran that

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Am I the only one who thinks that if Whalen grew his hair out he would look like Kenny Powers?

 

[USMA76]

Larry Vanover's strike zone is beyond horrible right now.

 

[Garmel]

Larry Vanover's strike zone is beyond horrible right now.

He basically screwed Inciarte. Inciarte was forced to swing at a bad pitch outside because he couldn't take the chance that it would be called a strike.

I had that same thought earlier. He needs the jerry curls of course

I'm not a big fan of strike zone whining but Vanover's screwed Freddy and Inciarte while calling a couple of balls on Goldschmidt that were in the middle of the strike zone so badly that I'm amazed he didn't hit either of them about 450 feet.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Joe and Chip going to be bitching about Vanover's strike zone for the rest of the game.

Joe and Chip going to be bitching about Vanover's strike zone for the rest of the game.

Rightfully so...it's embarrassing for baseball

 

[jsebe10]

Fckn little league baseball here...who the fck walks the bases loaded in pro ball

 

[Garmel]

I'm tired of watching this **** pitching.

 

[USMA76]

This is beyond painful but you'd think we'd be used to the endless stream of absolute garbage this year.
