Some good pitching and a couple of homers http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , but not enough to win"SPECIAL NOTE:Prior to the game today Diamondbacks Manager Torey Luvullo was asked what if any impacts the new lineup submission rules would have on his lineup creation process. “It’s not going to change the timing of what I do, because I usually have the lineup prepared the day before for the next day, ........ It’s not going to impact how I construct the lineup whatsoever or potentially change the lineup”“What I’ll say on the record is that it’s not a forced situation. They are not asking us to do it by a certain time, a certain way. I still have the freedom to operate the exact same way. Everything is the same “The DBacks communications department was able to give further clarification. The Manager or whoever he designates gives the lineup to the PR Dept who then in turn sends it to MLB via e mail before it can be posted in the clubhouse for Media to see or can be tweeted out. It doesn’t change the process for the manager. The only thing it delays is the lineup being posted in the clubhouse for media to see. It will be posted behind the scenes for the players to see however.(This part is a little different than I have seen reported elsewhere but thats what I was told directly by DBacks PR dept) It will not affect the manager whatsoever. This process has been in place for spring training already.Once it is emailed out to MLB , they are to wait approximately 15 minutes for acknowledgment from MLB before it is to be posted on Twitter, put out in the press box, etc. In the case of a late scratch they can announce immediately to the people at the ballpark, it is not required to inform MLB first, however MLB is informed roughly the same time. So with that piece of interest out of the way, on to the gameZack Greinke took the mound against Trevor Bauer, which would be a marquee matchup during the regular season. Greinke gave up a hit in the top of the first, and then a groundball was hit to Wilmer Flores at 2nd, who seemed a little slow on the relay to Nick Ahmed. The force at 2nd was executed, but Jason Kipnis was easily safe at first. I think last year that DP gets turned, but it’s early...right ? After a flyout by Roberto Perez,Kelby Tomlinson failed to field a ball down to 3rd base cleanly for a E5 , but Zack struck out Trayce Thompson to end in the inning.The bottom of the first saw some DBacks fireworks.After a sharp single up the middle by Ketel Marte Carlos Zambrano Jersey , Wilmer Flores stepped in , and did this to a 2 seam fastball left up by Bauer:That would be all the scoring for the DBacks in the inning. The top of the 2nd saw Greinke struggling with his fastball command, as he hit the leadoff batter, and also walked 2 in the inning, all coming on the fastball. However he struckoutLeonys Martin and Kipnison changeups to get out of the jam.Zack came out of the game after that having thrown just48 pitches,and then went down to the bullpen to get in some extra work afterwards. In the top of the 3rd Brad Goldberg , acquired from the White Sox last summer, came on to pitch. The hard throwing righty, know for both walks and strike outs, unfortunately produced 3 walks and a double, allowing 2 runs to score and a tie game, without getting an out. Marc Rzepczynski came in andrestored order however retiring all 3 batters he faced to stop the bleeding.MeanwhileTrevor Bauer settled in to keep the DBacks quiet for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th innings. The DBacks did manage a couple of singles in the 2nd and 3rd, but were eliminated by a caught stealing, (Ahmed) and a groundball DP (Flores) respectively.Bauer’s day was done after 4 innings, having allowed just the 2 runs on 5 hits including the Flores homerun.Caleb Joseph got the Dbacks back on the boardin the bottom of the 5th Mark Grace Jersey , homering off ofAdam Cimber to give the DBacks a 3-2 lead.Matt Andriese pitched 3 scoreless innings, using mostly 4 seam fastballs and changeups, mixing in just a couple of sliders.He retired the side in order in the 4th and 5th, and allowed a harmless 2 out single in the 6th.However he came out for a 4th inning of work in the top of the 7th and promptly walked the leadoff batter. We all know how that usually ends up and this time was no exception. After a flyout, Andriese gave up a single and the ball was bobbled in RF by Socrates Britoallowing the runner to 3rd. That would be all for Andriese, who had a very good outing allowing just 2 singles and a walk and 3 K’s . LeftyMatt Marksberry, an Indy Ballpickup who last pitched in the majors in 2016 for the Braves,came on in “relief”, of which there was none. Allowing a single, a walk , and a wild pitch, 2 inherited runners came around to score, giving the Indians a 4-3 lead. Remember this when looking at Andriese’s spring ERA.He pitched well today.4-3 would be the final score, as the DBacks failed to push across any more runs after the Joseph homerun in the 5th. Of note, Jimmie Sherfy pitched a scoreless 8th, getting two punch outs. Tomorrows game is an early start time, 12:05 vs the Brewers in Maryvale. The game will be on Fox Sports Arizona. We haven’t always seen eye-to-eye http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , Jer. But I think we’re just about on the same page on this one. Credible report:SOURCE: The #WhiteSox have offered Manny Machado an eight-year, US$250 million..."We haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, Jer. But I think we’re just about on the same page on this one. Credible report:Let’s be really real here. Morbid, even. You’re 83 this year. You don’t have much time left. You’re a tax lawyer, so I know you’re not offended by the numbers. Life expectancy tables say you’ve got about 6.5 years left. You’re a rich white guy, so maybe it’s reasonable to take the over. NorthShore Health Care is the best, after all.But then again, what about those cigars? Let’s call it a wash.Seven years (so retorts White Sox front office mouthpiece Bob Nightengale). Eight years. Nine years. Ten. Whatever. You’re probably gone. Sure, you’ve got quite a few fellow investors to think about. But the ones who actually went in with you back in the ’80s are either dead already or right up there in age with you. The others? The heirs? The second and third generations? Pardon my Francais, but fuck ’em. Ya’ll bought the team for $19 million. Forbes says the team is now worth $1.5 billion. And they’ve been underestimating team values given what sale prices have been recently. You’ve done your part. Hell, you came up with MLBAM. You’ve more than done your part. It’s time to enjoy.The rebuild was a hard pill to swallow, particularly at your age. But it had to be done. You’ve got that one ring, but I know you want more. And I know Rick and Kenny told you about the 2018-19 free agent class when they were selling the rebuild. Harper. Machado. Elite talent not yet even in their prime years. The kinds of players who become available once a generation. Now ain’t the time to get squeamish. And I’m sure the man who sold Balcor for $102 million still has the cajones. It’s (apparently) up to you and the Phillies. Close that deal. The fanbase is behind you. You got that money. It’s time to spend that money, man.
