What a Slugfest tonight! The Dbacks had it all going tonight except of course for pitching. Of the Dbacks 13 home-runs this year 6 have been with two outs and only 5 have been solo shots. That is great clutch hitting.
Kurt Gibson showed the fire we need out of manager tonight as he was thrown out of the game for arguing a call with the home-plate umpire. The umpire called Montero out after a checked swing two innings in a row! Montero clearly did not swing and that's why Gibbie took one for the team and got thrown out instead of Montero. This confrontation will be great for the ball club.
The Dbacks just need to just trade for Lance Berkman somehow. He hit 3 home-runs in 3 at-bats between last night and tonight.
Justin Upton smashed a homer into the Fatburger restaurant! They measured it at around 480 feet!
The lineup tonight was exactly how I wanted to see it. Ryan Roberts at third and Willie Bloomquist in LF. Also Russell Branyan started at first and made a very agile play to his right to get an out. His defense is looking pretty good.
One of the best plays of the game was by a fan who almost caught a ball down the right field line. The key to this play was that neither Pujols or Berkman caught it!
My boy Ryan Roberts was clutch tonight with a 2-run double down the left field line. How many times do I need to say this...KEEP HIM IN THE LINEUP!
The bullpen once again has the worst ERA in the league and showed flashes of their dismal 2010 campaign. They have got to lock down and start throwing strikes. The walks are killing them. Thank God for David Hernandez. He seems to be the only one that doesn't want to have his ERA skyrocket. Lets make him our 8th inning guy?
Galarraga was not very consistent tonight but at least he got through 5 innings and only gave up 4 runs.
The defense and pitching was really able to lock-down at the end of the game to secure a win 13-8 for the Dbacks. Hopefully there will be many more of those in the future. Thanks for reading
