ESTShareTweetShareShareDiamondbacks 5, Padres 5: There IS tying in baseball...Jennifer Stewart-USA TODAY SportsRecord: 3-1-1. Change on 2018: +0.5. 5-inning record: 3-0-2.No local radio or television for this one, so this report is entirely off the box-score, and will likely be short. The main positive appears to have been a strong outing from the front of our pitching staff. Taylor Clark got the start, and tossed a pair of shutout innings, with two hits allowed and a pair of strikeouts (sadly, no Manny Machado to be seen for the Padres!). He was followed to the mound by Robby Scott http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , Joey Krehbiel, Rubby De La Rosa and Braden Shipley, who each delivered a zero in their inning of work. Particularly nice to see De La Rosa back, in his first spring outing since 2016, it appears. He worked around a one-out walk to Hunter Renfroe, getting Fernando Tatis immediately to ground into a double-play. Things got... a bit stick thereafter. Joel Payamps allowed a run in the seventh and another in the eighth, before giving way to Evan Scribner, who finished off that frame. But the ninth was uglier still. Scribner got the first two outs impressively enough, on strikeouts around a double, but the third proved elusive. He instead allowed back-to-back homers Nick Markakis Jersey , bringing three runs home for San Diego and tying the game. A Brad Goldberg took over and got the final out of the ninth. By mutual consent, it appears, the game was called at that point without even a token tenth inning played to try and separate the two sides. The Arizona offense didn’t have much going in the early frames either, with just a C Caleb Joseph RBI single to show through the first five innings. DH Rob Refsnyder and Joseph then added further RBI singles in a two-run sixth. with SS Ildemaro Vargas and 3B Wyatt Mathisen having RBI knocks in the ninth - runs which turned out to be important in the final result. Joseph and SS Nick Ahmed each had two of Arizona’s eleven hits, the latter also drawing a walk. There were no stolen bases for the D-backs, but 1B Kevin Cron committed his first error of the pre-season. Tomorrow, we finish off February back at Salt River Fields, with a game against the Indians. Merrill Kelly makes his debut in a Diamondbacks’ uniform. Y’all have any coupons?"You decided to scour the free agent market for bargains and hit upon Carlos Gomez on a one-year, $2.5 million deal (plus incentives) and Jose Bautista and Derek Dietrich on minor league deals with an invite to Spring Training. Bautista shows no signs of life in Arizona and retires before the season, but Babe Ruth Jersey , despite mediocre numbers, Dietrich edges Yu Chang to break camp on the 25-man roster.The outfield performs well, with Gomez providing a good presence in the clubhouse and content to take his at-bats where he can between Jordan Luplow, Tyler Naquin, and Jake Bauers. Jason Kipnis’s balky shoulder forced more playing time on Dietrich than the front office hoped or anticipated, but Chang stepped in and proved he deserved a role from day one by manning third adroitly and hitting .260/.342/.397. Solid contributions on offense, however, do not make up for the deficiencies in the bullpen. Oliver Perez cannot replicate his 2018 after being asked to fill a larger role, and the revolving door between Cleveland and Columbus spins wildly, with Adam Cimber http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , Jon Edwards, and Tyler Olson rotating with Nick Sandlin, A. J. Cole, and James Hoyt moving back and forth with varying results.With a six-game cushion in the division, trading for relief help seems like an obvious move. With few high-profile names hitting the market next year, the choice then is whether to deal for a rental (like Joe Smith in 2017) or for a long-term asset (like Brad Hand last season).
