Well, they're introducing players in Denver, and we don't have a Gameday thread up yet, so I figure we should have someplace to chatter on about the game. Assuming other people are around too, I hope. *looks around nervously*
Pretty quiet from the crowd while they introduced the D-backs, except for a burst of boos when Byrnes came on the field. I guess the fans are still holding a grudge over those comments back around the NLCS...

Thanks for putting up the Gameday Thread
I don't know how to do that. Can anybody do that?
Lineup
Young
Burke (still no CoJack)
Hudson
Byrnes
Snyder
Reynolds
Upton
Drew
Owings
Upton and Young lead that lineup with .200 batting averages (yuck). Our best hitter might be batting ninth!
I keep thinking we should put Byrnes somewhere other than cleanup. Why not put Young there?
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*
"We're contenders now!"
I'm keen to the idea of
switching Young and Byrnes. Not sure it makes sense or why I think that, I just have a feeling about it

Here we go
I can think of nothing better this afternoon that beating our arch-rivals --- but I am extremely nervous with Micah on the mound
Agreed
I look forward to playing the Rockies. I think we've got the makings of a great rivalry between our teams, east coast media be damned.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

Just remember, folks
Next time you complain about the Diamondbacks coverage team, compare it to FSN Rocky Mountain. Before they introduced players, I had to sit through a video montage of the Rockies lip-syncing a Nickelback song. Ugh.

Is it just me
or is CY learning some patience at the plate?
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
I've noticed this as well
it's huge when you have a leadoff runner who can draw walks as well as hit home runs --- this could be a huge year for CY if he stay patient
Micah
Wish we had gotten a couple more in that first inning though.
A homer would be nice with Young on base. Aren't all our homers so far solos this season?
Rats
They are playing with fire assuming Micah (doing his best impression of Cueto since the 1st inning) is going to keep CO from doing anything eventually.
Wow
That was a *hack* from Tulo.

Okay, this team, the players we have in the field right now? That's the team I think we hoped to have out there. Still some problems at the plate, but they look confident and relaxed on defense. That's good to see.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

No kidding
It's the exact same game. Owings = Cueto Redman = Davis. It's feel like I've seen this game before.
Great preformance
Micha is looking great. This is some of the best pitching performances i've seen him put up, and he's mixing in some good off speed stuff that I like.
Not just a bat anymore, it's looking like.
Nice
Two-strike double by Young, and he made that a double by his speed and the lackadaisical play by the Rockies outfield. Good hustle by Young.

Geez
FSN Rocky Mountain is treating me to a bunch of fans shouting "Woooooh, Rockies, #1"
When you're getting shut down this badly, it must take a lot of Coors to be that excited.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*
"We're contenders now!"
Won't argue there
I'm not a beer fan, but there are some that are worse than others...
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

Coors is bad but...
my pops did think Old Style was Gods gift to man.
Owings
I looked and Micah had a 5 inning one-hitter last season, so he far exceeded that today. Would have been nice if he had homered to really send those Rockies fans home unhappy.
you think it bothers Buchholz
that his little bro is better?

But not on a day when Stephen goes 0-4 with 2 strike outs.

And another run, good to have the extra.

Oh, Byrnes
You need to start hitting better.
But today, there are pardons for all, even you.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

Can you guys please
stop this?? Please??! We are sorry we beat you in the NLCS! This isn't even fair, it's like you're playing the.... Casper Ghosts, we suck so badly right now. Can you just please get yourselves out and end this abortion of a game faster?!!
Dear god. This is AWFUL. You are kicking us up, down, and sideways, we are so terrible right now.
Ask your doctor if the Rockies are good for you. Are they generally? No. Do we stay? Of course. Why? Who built Stonehenge?
we should save some runs
for the next two days. But hey it proves that d-backs can have a positive run differental

Oh I know
You guys love it.
And I need to get away and yet I sit here watching this trainwreck.
Somebody please help me out. Shooting would be acceptable.

Our trainwreck
was yesterday and Cueto was all over TV afterwards, so they redeemed themselves today.
Or the Red Sox

"We're contenders now!"
Truly
when it comes to team I really hope to see utterly humiliated, in a Genghis Khan lamentation of women and piles of skulls kind of way, Colorado is actually pretty far down the list.
Could be worse
look what the Brewers did to the Giants
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
We knew it was going to be a good day....
when Tulo actually booted a grounder....... I didn't think that was possible
What stage am I in right now?
Denial, anger, depression, bargaining, or acceptance?
I am not even sure. Please call off the dogs, guys. You have schooled us today, and we thoroughly deserved it.
Ask your doctor if the Rockies are good for you. Are they generally? No. Do we stay? Of course. Why? Who built Stonehenge?
seriously though
we can't let up.... we may need everyone of those 7 runs before it's over.... I surely hope not
With this offense
I think 2 would have done you nicely.
Ask your doctor if the Rockies are good for you. Are they generally? No. Do we stay? Of course. Why? Who built Stonehenge?
You clearly have not watched us hit the past few days
We were also pwned by Lohse, Wellemeyer, and Thompson on the Cardinals.
Ask your doctor if the Rockies are good for you. Are they generally? No. Do we stay? Of course. Why? Who built Stonehenge?
We'd like to help
But we're haunted by the memories of just how stunted our offense was, well, yesterday. We'd like the chance to enjoy it for once.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*
"We're contenders now!"
I wish you could enjoy it
truly, I do. But I am not enjoying it... couldn't you do it at someone else's expense?

Blame the Commisioner's Office
If we could play the Giants 162 times this season, we probably would.

silverblood, you're feeling
exactly like we were yesterday, when a ROOKIE made us look like a single A farm team...... It's a long season --- but maybe think about doing the ring ceremony behind closed doors tomorrow ;)
That may be
a good idea.

Still in the sidebar, under Snakepit 1.0.1. Hasn't been updated yet.

Well
Nice job today, guys. Seriously. It really must feel good to come out and score 7 runs a day after having a rookie dominate you. (This is not a feeling we would know anything about).
I think I'll take my glumness away now and let you enjoy your victory.

Don't get too down.
I think the Rockies will turn around after a few games. Maybe Monday would work well?

A four pitch
walk to Reynolds is not how I would like to start an inning. That's almost as bad as a four pitch walk to Eric 'Hack' Byrnes.
Seems a like a very good guideline!

Augie!
RBI off the bench!

Drew and Byrnes
Both now hitting .125. Though only one of them has a reputation for being better in the first-half...
I'm giving Drew
....the lefty - lefty pass for today's game....
Now for Byrnes, I'm taking him to the tape room, sitting him down, making him watch every at bat and asking him which one of these is not like the others? and why?
Win Probability
Anybody know our win probability with a 6 run lead in the ninth?
The only thing better than beating the Rockies
#1) is beating them on the road
#2) on opening day
#3) in front of a sold-out crowd
better than winning the NLCS? No way.....
but it does help lessen the pain a bit.....
It's a fact
men are consumed and enslaved when they are given rings.
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
*falls over laughing*
I think this is about the nerdiest Gameday thread ever. I guess that's what happens when I start them. Appropriate.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

Win!
Lovely!
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

Congrats on your win
You gave us butt on a platter today.
I'm really trying really hard to be gracious. I don't want to be snarky, honestly I don't. Think I'll go and write a midterm. Or get a root canal.

It's a long season, so you'll have plenty of time to be gracious AND snarky by turns.

PS
Somebody else used "snarky"!!

thanks Silverblood -
I'm sure the tables will turn at some point during the season...... but a series win for us would be huge.... Iimplore your team to beat up on the Dodgers and Padres all season long...
It's a long season
We'll all have the chance to be gracious and snarky- both about our own teams and others- in their proper turn.

Bravo, Micah!
Great game! Now if the Suns beat the T-Wolves tonight they day will have been perfect!
We both win tonight
Nice win against the Spurs, the Suns' mortal enemy. Phx went up early on Minnesota by 21 in the 1st quarter and never looked back. A lovely day for both my teams! Dallas comes to town on Sunday after narrowly losing to L.A. tonight. I will be in attendance!
For the record
The Dbacks are 1-0 when I post on a game-day thread. I might have to do this more often.
See ya next day game.
Most impressed with Micah
and the fact the bats came good
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Love the smell of a Dbacks win in the morning!
Great to see us win by a comfortable margin today... Takes a bit of the bitter taste away from the performances of the past 2 days.
Glad to see that the worries about Owings may be a bit premature.

The One Win to Rule Them All
OK, maybe not.... but in the spirit of the gameday thread....
Great win -- great job Micah --- we get Webb tomorrow
Nice thread everyone --- talk to you later
Ugh
The FSN Rocky Mountain announcers combine sparkling ineptitude with deep-seated homer-ism. They're terrible. I can't wait to be back in Arizona...
I'm looking forward to tomorrow, though. Webb looked good against the Reds, and the Rockies seem to have left their bats in the NLCS. Could be another good game.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

Good win today
exactly how the Diamondbacks need to win games. They didn't strike out much, they got on base and put the ball into play. The pitching was nearly perfect, lots of strikes and balls going in on the hitters.
Hopefully the Diamondbacks will be able to build on this as a blueprint for success. You won't always score 8 or more runs a game, but the same principles are always in effect: get on base and put the ball in play.
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
Silverblood's sister has made the national media- her sign was shown on the FSN Rocky Mountain broadcast a couple of times, and now the AP wire photos...
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*
"We're contenders now!"
How do you even respond to that?
"Baseball is back!" Yes, yes it is, and thank the heavens for that.

Amen to that
