Just started listening to the game

 

Its 6-2

 

- Joe Borchard just hit a solo shot to dead center. They are talking about it being an absolute bomb. These are the Dbacks announcers too. Saying it was one of the farthest they've seen at this park.

D'Lo has a hit

Loaiza 3 runs

Almonte cleaned up Loaiza's mess

Heredia 3 runs

Munoz hasn't pitched yet has he?

 

- Oh ya, I think Konerko had a homer

6-4 Arizona

 

Paul Double

Jimenez singled him in

Lee doubled, D'LO scored

Frank sac flyed home lee

 

Munoz is now in

Munoz's first inning of work

 

1-2-3

including a strikeout of Junior Spivey.

-Thomas has flown out 3 times today

-Swindell just struck Borchard out

I think Thomas problem is that he is swinging for the fences and not for the better of the team by getting on base. Kind of like the most over rated catcher Piazza who swings for the record of most hr by a catcher instead of playing text book baseball for the better of the team

Loaiza and Heredia aren't getting off to a good start. They better pitch well or else Rauch will be the 5th starter even in April.

I hope Rauch is the 5th starter. If he gets time in at the MLB level he can be great. They might send him down I think for more innings

Doubtful that he's seeing Charlotte this year.......Loaiza and Heredia suck....Stewart WILL be decent. Rauch is the obvious choice.

 

Munoz's day is done

 

1.3 ip 0h 0r

Cooper's up

Munoz is good but I think he should go down just to get more innings then call him up after he gains some more innings Don't want to pressure him like they did Garland

They're going to try to convert Munoz into a starter....get him innings in BHam I believe and let him start(the same thing will happen to Royce Ring).

Why do we try to make relievers into starters as opposed to drafting some starters?

Final 7-4 DBacks

 

Borchard 1-3 a homer

D'Lo 2-4, RBI, error

Loaiza 3 runs in 2/3 innings

Heredia 3 runs, 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 innings

 

Borchard Bomb

If I did it correctly....Loaiza has a 40.50 ERA.

 

Yeah, he's good

Failed to mention Wunch pitched the top of the ninth, and took them out 1-2-3 with 2ks
