Other AZ Sports Thread 7: Sun Devils, Suns, Lumberjacks, Cardinals, Dbacks, Rattlers, Wildcats, etc.

The D'backs can't keep leaning on Craig Kimbrel to blow games for them. They need to win and win convincingly today or else they're toast when they get back to Philly.

So many balls were called should have gone the other way. That was insane!

The umpires have been a whole new level of atrocious this post season. It's so bad that its downright suspicious lol.

 

[Baby Doaner]

Man, the cardinals are a tire fire. Can’t beat anyone.

 

[Dolemite]

Holy. f***.

This was one of the best ever defensive performances by a Sun Devils team.

EVER.

I’ve never seen anything like this from ASU since before the Erickson era.

They held UW to ZERO offensive TD’s. ZERO.

September 5: Brandon Pfaadt was 1-8 with a 6.27 ERA. Seven weeks later, he's starting in Game 7 of the NLCS.

And DBacks fans couldn't be happier.

I remember snagging him in one of my dynasty leagues earlier this season only to drop him after his slow start. Pumped that he's doing big things now on the biggest of stages. LETS GO DBACKS!

 

[Baby Doaner]

Man, I totally forgot they played yesterday until another thread spoke about it. Good luck boys!

Regardless of what happens tonight, with guys like Carroll, Moreno, Thomas, Lawlar and Pfaadt, it's an exciting time to be a fan. Hopefully we can lock a few of those guys up to deals like Carroll's.

I hope we hold onto Walker and Perdomo, too.

I hope we hold onto Walker and Perdomo, too.

I like Perdomo, but I am curious what the plan with him is long term. 3B maybe? Marte at 2nd and Lawlar is and will be a SS.

Also since we're on the topic of guys to sign, I like Gurriel as the third OF. Druw Jones is still a little ways away. I don't know where McCarthy is at these days, but even still, Gurriel would be a good platoon guy as the third OF, and he's a righty bat. And personally I don't like Pham.

Well, Longo isn't long (hah!) for the team, so 3rd will be open. If we keep Walker, I'd think Rivera will platoon between 3rd and 1st; Perdomo can play 2nd, SS, and 3rd; I don't know if we keep Jace Peterson unless he's just an off-the-bench guy. I think Perdomo is ahead of Lawlar on the depth chart for the next year or two, but if Lawlar progresses fast enough, we could end up dealing Marte and putting Perdomo at 2nd.

Peterson is hopefully gone, he has not been good since coming here. I wouldn't mind bringing Longo back one more year. I like him and his presence in the clubhouse.

It'll for sure be interesting, I think we'll see a lot of Lawlar next year. He did very well in Reno this year.

Always an option to platoon the guys between their infield position and DH, too. But Perdomo is an All-Star - can't imagine him losing his starting spot in the near term.

Amyone got a free streaming feed for MLB games they can PM me the address to?

For me, the best part is 4 weeks ago I didn't know who any of these guys were, and now after 15 games I'm watching a game 7 and reading this going "mmm-hmm.... Yup...I agree..."

I’m in the same boat.

I love this team man

 

[LightningStorm]

What a day for Phoenix! Congrats to the Diamondbacks for winning the NL Pennant. Last team in the playoffs and won both game in Philly down 3-2 after the Phillies were undefeated at home this postseason. Hope they can keep it going. Suns started off their season with a win over the Warriors too.

I'm a homer through and through, I don't support any teams outside Az except for the Browns and Bills. CBJ too but those are on the backburners.
The Dbacks are a feeling, Torey is a hell of a manager and I wish Monty Williams was like that. All you have to do is get in, let the players speak for themselves. My first sport I loved was baseball, hockey took over but I love the small ball of baseball. Texas, watch out. Scherzer will be fired up as always.

600 bucks gets you in the door.
Who's going?

I'm actually going to be listening to the Series on the radio for a few reasons. First, I dropped YouTube TV and I can't get OTA signals where I live (damned butte), so I don't get FOX. Second, Greg Schulte is retiring this year and I want one last chance to hear the Golden Voice do what he does best. It'd be amazing if he could top off his career with another legendary winning call.

 

[Bondurant]

Corbin Carroll is a wagon. Love this kid. Snagged a pair of PSA 10 rookies for $80 on E-Bay. Hoping they begin to appreciate.

 

[Kai Yo T]

Good, intense game so far. Sucks to walk in the tieing run with bases loaded @ 3-2 count with 2 outs

 

[Kai Yo T]

Welp, the D-Backs weren't f'n around tonight.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Kelly was awesome. Amazing story for AZ kid who didn't break into MLB until age 30.
