I also don't mind not exposing our younger pitchers to running on the basepaths and suffering shoulder tears while sliding head-first into bases.
man ashby just mentioned it but cosart has a problem with an out pitch. he needs to get that change up going. he always gets up 0-2 then runs it full. its kind of frustrating
The Diamondbacks have some really great announcers. They are informed, entertaining, and not annoying at all. It's a relief to not have to endure Ashby.
Listening on the radio. We've been playing some great baseball lately. If anyone's interested, the other Texas team is currently being shelled 17-7 by the Indians.
This is where they would like to start seeing some maturity from Cosart.... not have it all fall apart after a couple plays don't go his way.
Cosart lucky Montero didn't do more damage with that pitch... was looking for it all the way, and it was a hanger.
Strong work there by Jared in preserving the lead... I'd turn it over to the bullpen, possibly have Qualls go more than an inning.
I wouldn't be opposed to Qualls pitching the 8th tonight. I like his odds against 2,3,4 batters of the order better than anyone else in the pen.
