NLDS: Diamondbacks/Brewers Thread

[The Rick]

Go Brew Crew! Should be a fun series.

Some interesting stats on their series during the regular season, Arizona topped them 4 games to 3.

Here is a link chock full of good info.

Go DBacks! I have family that lives there, and their fans were all very nice and accommodating when I was out there for the All-Star game. Plus, they have David, who was just a very likable young man. I have nothing against the Brewers, though.

Isn't it great that these two teams are playing in the playoffs after the whole Weeks/Upton HR Derby drama?

Rooting for the Brew Crew too. I'd like a good series because I like and respect the D-Backs but the Brewers have some exciting players.

Wth? Doesn't the catcher almost always throw out runners?

Gallardo looks like R-Lo.

Nice play there! Bad send.

Brutal managing by Gibson, let's Kennedy pitch to Fielder with first base open and 2 outs, 2 run homer, 4-0 Brewers.

Yep, and he could have pitched around the catcher to get to the pitcher. Got burned on that one too.

I'm rooting for the Brewers because of Roenicke, which leads me to a question I've been wanting to ask:

Stotle, what is your impression of the job being done by Roenicke? I'm assuming the fans love him (at least for now).

There are a lot of personalities on that squad he has to manage. Winning helps keep that in line, I guess.

Brew Crew a win away from an NLCS appearance. Exciting stuff.

Looks bad for AZ. Saw a sign at the end of the game... "Send the Snakes on a plane 0-2" :laughlol:

Hernandez pitched well at least. I'm sure Rick was in the stands cheering.
