J. Valverde!
kinda, but there's a lot of luck involved as well.
in baseball, we see records in one games highly fluctuate from year to year. do numerous managers just forget how to manage every other offseason?
he has called the right pitch hitters up alot!
like tonight Jackson got the job done!
DO NOT WALK HIm
pinch*
sure some luck was involved but you have to be in the postion to have some luck get you the w
snakes win
do not need alot of runs when cubs only score 1 time!
snakes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SUNS
they do not lose homecourt advantage after one game
ducks, the Spurs are a little better than the Cubs.Anyway, shut the up about basketball, this is baseball.
Good to see the DBacks win Game 1. Their offense was stagnant for most of the game against Zambrano, but thankfully we won't see him for a couple more games.
make that 2 teams not swept
yes but he is also on short rest
snakes never played him this year tell tonight
now they know what he is about and will light his sorry butt up
they might be the one during the sweeping
Woo-hoo!
Billy Goats for all!
Go DBacks!
Very nice win tonight, thanks to excellent pitching from Webb and the bullpen, and some nice hitting from a couple of our young guys.
Cubs looked slow tonight, that kind of surprised me.
The scrubbies are who we thought they were. (They suck).
the only time the diamondbacks have won the first playoff game of each series:
'01 NLDS
'01 NLCS
'01 WS
'07 NLDS...
I will admit that I don't know enough about baseball statistically, nor historically to understand why run-differential is such an indicating factor. I think it's just another stat. While the stats contribute to a win, they don't dictate wins.
case and point, in the 2001 World Series, the Diamondbacks outscored the Yankees 38 to 11. Yet, it took a Mariano Rivera meltdown to enable them to pull the series out. Had they been unable, they'd have lost the World Series, despite more than tripling the Yankees runs scored. Didn't Pittsburgh once defeat the Yankees in the series despite being outscored by a large margin?
I'm telling you, this run-differential is very, very misleading. They win two close games, then lose by two or three in the third. Sometimes by five or more. They are still taking two of three, just about every series. They were what, five wins behind the best record in all of baseball?
Exactly! I would think that since the DBacks know how to win close games, it means they have a lot of poise and don't get rattled by the pressure.
that win close games and get blown out in the third game is also the story of this years team
Chris Young, I want to have your babies!!!!
DBacks up 4-2 in the bottom of the 4th. Davis looks like he's starting to settle down, so he'll probably last about 6 innings. Lilly could be out by the end of the 5th if his pitch count gets high enough.
