D-Backs go for 10+ K's over the last 9 games to set a MLB record

That's pretty sick. Might consider buying a jersey or shirt now.

Any idea why we'd burn through every lefty in our bullpen when their lineup is primarily righties?

Pretty fun read about the Diamondbacks:

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/pay-a...-diamondbacks/

Quote:

The team’s rotation features the highest WAR in baseball, and it isn’t close.The gap (1.1 wins) between the D-backs and the second-place Dodgers is the same as the gap between the Dodgers and the 17th-ranked Mets. (Actually, the gap would officially land between the Mets and the 18th-ranked Mariners, but it’s closer to the Mets.)

Quote:

At the start of the season, Arizona’s playoff odds sat at a lowly 8.2%, but they have risen steadily to 35.3%. And the rise looks legit. Their BaseRuns run differential is +22, which is fifth-best in the majors — only the Yankees, Nationals, Dodgers and Astros have a better BaseRuns RDif. The team is 12th in runs scored per game and sixth in runs allowed. They’re preventing runs at an elite level and scoring enough runs to stay in every game. They’ve only lost two games by five or more runs, a mark only bested by the Yankees. This is a recipe for success; we need to pay attention to the D-backs.

You need to make that post in the MLB thread.

The Dbacks look like we had hoped they would look last year.

Just noticed this, as of May 4th:

Quote:

As I sort the leaderboards, the Diamondbacks have three players in the top 20 in baserunning value — Paul Goldschmidt, Jake Lamb, and rather inexplicably Yasmany Tomas. That doesn’t capture everything, because A.J. Pollock is second in baseball in steals. Chris Owings is tied for third. (One of the players he’s tied with is Goldschmidt.)

Quote:

the Diamondbacks have grounded into a double play in just 7% of their opportunities. That’s the very lowest rate in baseball, where the average is 11%. So far, that’s already seven double plays avoided. Moving on, the Diamondbacks are just 11th in stolen-base success rate, but they’re easily tops in stolen-base attempt rate. As a team, they’ve tried to steal in 12% of their chances. That’s more than twice as high as the average rate, and there’s only one other team in double digits.

Not bad

Are any of you guys getting that summer pass? 25 games for $50. No chance I pass that up.

I'm not sure how many of the 25 I'll make it to, but my plan is to trade all my Saturday & Sunday tickets for games later in the season, and use the summer pass tickets for the weekend games through June and July. I expect I'll get at least 10-15 games out of it.

Once again, the thread has died off, even while the Dbacks continue to win at a historic(for them, anyway) clip. 18 games over .500, tied for 3rd best record in baseball, winners of 7 in a row, and a 9 game lead in the wildcard. We've been without Pollock for over a month now, and have the best record in baseball over that time. We should get him back later this week. It's gonna be a fun summer in the desert.

HUGE series in Colorado starting tomorrow. As huge as a June series can be anyway. Would be nice to take 2 of 3 and come back home tied with the Rockies.

He's killing my PEEHS. Best record in the majors without him. We'll be fine. Get him healthy for the 2nd half.

ROFL

Your job must be horrible when the only thing you are confident about is starting your worst pitcher.

mgr Torey Lovullo said Corbin will start Fri. Will not announce rest of series rotation until tomorrow. I'm not sure why that is.
