[DiamondMind]

[OleMissCub]

C'mon Miggy!!!

[DiamondMind]

still a chance!

[Guest]

never a strike, good grief

[Clem Fandango]

yet another horse [expletive] strike call

[DiamondMind]

meh, not that mad at all

[Guest]

We definitely would have won this game if David started the thread.

[Derwood]

Well poop

[Schwarber Fan]

It's a sweep if you don't pitch to the best hitter in the National League. Not sweating it too much. Will be happy with a .500 homestand.

[DiamondMind]

I'm seriously ok with going 500 that trip. It's fine, guys. To be honest we just need to go 500 at home this next series too. this is the toughest stretch of the year maybe

I never really liked or enjoyed road series in Arizona. Ever.

 

Also, Chase field blows.

We're all in agreement on that one. Arizona is like our personal purgatory every year.

I'm just going to stop watching games. The only games this trip I was able to watch was this one and the loss against the Padres. The six game winning streak was while I was on vacation. Really can't remember the last time I sat down and watched a win.

Not going to get any easier. Have you seen our next two weeks? 3 with KC, SEVEN with washington, 2 with detroit....and even after that its LA/STL. we have to just go .500 somehow. post ASG is where make the run

[Schwarber Fan]

Seems like we play 4 @ WSH every season.

[Ski]

We need to start scoring more than three runs a game, and especially against mediocre pitching. The offense can do better than this.

Yea, the performance against Collmenter/Hellickson was pretty awful, especially in that ballpark

[Little Slide Rooter]

With 7 HR, Chris Coghlan is second only to Rizzo in that respect, and with 30 fewer ABs. Am I wrong in thinking that he's pretty much what we were hoping to salvage of post 2012 Brett Jackson?
