[Chicago Here]

lets keep the series win streak goin!

[wildcat2237]

The D'Bags just got swept by the Mets. They are really scuffling.

 

The crew needs to find a way to win this series.

[rcc]

Anderson back and hopefully has a good game with a win.

[YelichPosse]

I like the lineup and Greinke is tough. Should be a good game.

[TURBO]

D-Backs have some of the nicest looking unis (white) and some of the ugliest (gray they are wearing tonight) unis in the majors.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Velo is looking good for Chase, but he does look like a guy who hasn't pitched in a while early. Hope he settles in or the offense may need to go real big.

[PinaMadness]

Yeah, I don't have a good feeling about this game. A rusty Anderson against Greinke. Anderson really needs to limit the damage in this first inning.

 

A walk with the bases loaded doesn't help.

[adambr2]

Wow Chase...

[YelichPosse]

Every run feels like 5 versus pitchers like Greinke

[PinaMadness]

Oh great, we have Angel Hernandez for the next three days, and calling balls and strikes tomorrow.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Wow. Only 1 run is a big victory there. Lot of pitches, but the game could feel over after that inning.

 

I have a weird feeling this one will end up like 7-5.

[PinaMadness]

Only one run thankfully, but 26 pitches thrown. Might be a long night's work for the bullpen. Makes me kind of glad CC didn't try hard to win yesterday's game. Didn't want to risk exhausting the bullpen in a potential extra inning game and be gassed for Arizona.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Lots of Ks for Yelich lately.

 

Is his launch angle up? I've been wondering if he has been trying to elevate the ball a bit more.

[TURBO]

could be another bull pen game for sure.

[TURBO]

SHAW with the DING DONG!

[MrTPlush]

I love the gray jersey, but on TV it looks way too dark. The gray pants that match are terrible.

[YelichPosse]

Arcia swinging wildly again . Really thought he was on to something on the start of the trip.

[MoreTrife]

I'm a schlup at home who never played high level baseball but sometimes I wonder why Grienke is so effective. His FB is fairly straight and now sits at 89-90 and his slider seems way different than the FB and easy to pick out. Doesn't seem to throw much beyond that anymore either. But what do I know and his numbers are still good.

[tomwopat]

I don't know if this has already been said anywhere, but the Arizona Diamondbacks have the most horrendous uniforms in the MLB, possibly in all of the top tier sports.

 

I don't know what sort of statement (fashion or otherwise) they're trying to make, but they're neither classic nor modern, with terrible aesthetics and colors that seem to evoke a terrible Chinese rip-off of Under Armour clothing, or perhaps an edgy economy car marketed to teenagers. The pattern on the shoulders looks like the result of some sort of spray painting accident.

 

One could say they're carrying on their legacy of awfulness, the purple and teal, the worst uniform to be worn by a World Series winner.

 

I'm shocked and apalled that MLB permits them to wear the caps with the gradient which makes a mockery of one of the most iconic looks in sports.

 

To be clear I have no beef with modern or non-traditional uniforms (there's a lot of classic/retro-style uniforms that are real stinkers too), but there's simply no excuse for this in the top level of baseball.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

1st inning for Anderson: 26 pitches, 1 hit, 2BB, 1 HBP.

 

Next 3: 30 pitches. No baserunners.

I said this when we were in Arizona. I'm not watching tonight and don't know what their road unis look like, but the first time I saw their home unis I thought the player I was seeing was just sweating profusely on his back and shoulders.

[TURBO]

I love the gray jersey, but on TV it looks way too dark. The gray pants that match are terrible.

 

Yeah. the jersey alone with white pants would probably look good, it's the pants combination that makes it horrible.

[PinaMadness]

Too high. It's too high.

 

No it's not. Home run!!
