Game Notes...
- Big, Huge, Gigantic win for the Atlanta Braves. With the D'Backs incapable of beating even Jorge Sosa, getting a come-from-behind win against a damn good bullpen is important, no matter what time of the year. Yes, the division is not won in April or May, but it can be lost and the Braves have to stick with the Mets. Scoreboard watching in May is fully acceptable. Dammit, it's mandated. Watch a scoreboard somewhere!
- Kyle Davies overall line (6.2 ING, 6 H, 4 R, 2 BB) looks a lot worse than it actually was. 103 pitches and 63 strikes is huge for him. He's got the major league stuff to be successful at this level, he just has to get ahead of the batters and throw quality strikes. Doesn't every pitcher? Yeah, but most pitchers don't have the stuff Davies does.
- The Supreme Burrito comes in, throws a pitch out, and gets his second win of the week. Continue that and we may have to make you a Seven-Layer Burrito.
- When Wickman returns, I would keep an almost Nasty Boys (circa 1990 Reds) setup. Situation, game usage, etc. sets up who closes, not the title "closer," which is a bullshit title anyway.
- I am going to have to devote an entire post to that five-run seventh.
- Big day for J-Salt. Two hits, his first RBI, and another runners thrown out.
- I am really starting to like Thor. Not enough to keep him from being traded, but enough to not look to go outside the organization for a first baseman.
- I love Skip. "Shut up, duck" when the AFLAC! duck interrupted him during the trivia question...classic!
- Go D'Backs! Win one damn game you dumbasses.
