Quotables
We're going to come back and clear our heads from this and get out of this place. They've beat a lot of people here. This is probably one of the hottest teams in the game right now.
You look at the huge impact hits that he had for us and we won a lot of those games, You can’t expect somebody to do that (the whole season). The thing about Goldy which is encouraging is he’s had a great approach. A lot of guys lose their approach. … He has had good at-bats. They’re making some decent pitches on him. And he’s not getting hits — there’s some of that, too. He’s not Superman.
- Kirk Gibson (May or may not have also seen Superman on Saturday)
The guys in the past, with their first offense, have gotten around a five-game suspension, five or six. I don’t understand why mine would be any different, why mine would be 10 when some people’s second offense was even less.

Slumping in San Diego; farm report; & other stuff | azcentral.com
There’s little doubt first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was largely responsible for the Diamondbacks’ better-than-expected record. For the first two months of the season, he was an unstoppable force, hitting anything and everything thrown at him, coming through in the biggest situations and never experiencing any kind of extended rough patch. But the past 10 games have been different. Goldschmidt has just four hits in 39 at-bats and the Diamondbacks are just 3-7 after a three-game sweep at the hands of the San Diego Padres.
