D'Backs lose to Pad's...9-4
« on: April 21, 2008, 11:48:40 AM »
No matter how much our broadcast teams tried to talk up Randy Johnsons performance one thing was clear, he is struggling. His velocity seems to be good but he has little control and he is walking batters left and right. Walking batters will cost you everytime. He had a total meltdown in the 6th inning and allowed 5 runs, that was the end and Melvin pulled him but it was too late. I want to see Randy succeed but I don't like what I see.

GO D'BACKS!

He'll get to 300 wins.  Maybe not this year, but he will.

I wondered why Az wanted to mess up the lowest staff ERA in the NL . . .
