I fully expected him to let the winning run score though.
And no, we don't care anymore.

Is it fair to say Corbin has been an even bigger bust this this year than Miller? I think people have been so focused on Miller's struggles, they've overlooked just how bad Corbin has been. Truly awful.

My wife has been complaining about that for about his last 4-5 starts.

He's been awful much longer than that. And I thought he would be our #2 starter.

So, does the Segura trade mean we're getting Drury at 2B and Owings at SS, or Owings at 2B and Ahmed at SS? I hope it's the former.

Maybe neither.
I don't hate the trade. Sell high on Segura and buy low on Walker. We already sold low on Scherzer, Bauer, and Parker, so nice change for once.
I think it is likely Ahmed SS, Marte 2B, and Drury is utility player. Owings is traded on the cheap.

The Dbacks bullpen got significantly better yesterday when it was announced Hudson signed with Pittsburgh.

He'll probably be lights out in Pittsburgh. Just to spite me.

Delgado is my new Hudson. I actually used to be somewhat high on him. Not such much anymore.

We really need a new thread title.

I couldn't agree more. This one has been up since before I was even a Dbacks fan.
If you only go back 2-3 years, I bet it's a lot higher percentage than that. JoshK chipped in a bit last year.
Edit: looks like my first post was May of 2013, so I guess I've been posting in here longer than I thought.

Cautiously optimistic for this season after what we saw last year. Maybe I'm a hopeless optimist, but I still believe there is a chance for success
Going to my first game of the season on Saturday. Although he was the cause of a lot of frustration last season, I'm super excited to watch Grienke pitch!

I'll be there too! Let's grab a beer.
I feel this year's Dbacks COULD be what everyone was expecting last year. An outside chance at the playoffs, but a team that could get hot and surprise people. But I'm also realistic and haven't forgotten the disappointment that was 2016.

I think there is a lot to be optimistic about with the managerial/front office changes
As always the rotation gives me concerns but I'm happy to have Walker and if Grienke settles in then I think Goldy/Pollock/Lamb etc can get the job done. Also hoping Rubby can get healthy soon
Always down for a beer with a 2+2er, will shoot you a PM when I get to the game and we'll see what happens

Yeah I'll be there Saturday and Sunday too. Tonight was kind of spur of the moment thing.

There can't be more than 10k people here, I don't care what the announced attendance is. It's embarrassing.
