Carson horsefeathers Kelly! 2-0

[Outshined_One]

I like having a catcher who can actually hit.

[Andy]

Should be interesting to see who finishes 2nd to Carson Kelly in the NL MVP race

We've all agreed that Carson Kelly sold his soul this offseason, right?

Good on Jed for keeping his ear to the pits

Well, Brujan can't hit worth a damn but at least he made an error at his earliest possible opportunity

Vidal Bruján sounds like an exotic shampoo

[Bobson Dugnutt]

I’m enjoying the Colin Rea experience more than I anticipated.

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was an absolutely perfect pitch

[Illiterate Scholar]

Living 94-95 with movement and good off speed pitches. I didn't like the signing but I sure enjoy watching this version of him pitch. That nugget about his arm slot was interesting.

The Diamondbacks version of NSBB is undoubtedly having a meltdown to end all meltdowns over not being able to touch Colin Rea in this wind

[chibears55]

I wonder if Kelly can handle 3B and they can call up Ballesteros to be backup catcher..

Rather try this then have a merry go round of Workman, Berti, and Brujan playing there

He’s logged one inning at 3B in the past 12 years.

I cannot possibly be more adamant when I say no!

No such thing exists, I've looked.

[Hot Sauce]

The Diamondbacks are the only team in MLB that have never had even one good looking uniform.

I'd rather bring back Hector Neris

I was thinking something very similar earlier today.

At the risk of the possibility that Jed reads this forum please do not say these things.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Suarez just swing through 93 dead red for the K, is Colin Rea a witch

[KCCub]

I don't know where this version of Colin Rea came from, but I like it!

Just imagine the meltdowns after Suarez was struck out against the Cubs. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Man is Busch slow

[Andy]

Do we have to run the contact play literally every time?

I mean Nico is a big-time risk to put the ball on the ground. There's no good reason to run the contact play there IMO.
