Just like Al McCoy, you can hear his voice breaking as he signs off and says "so long for now."

Dbacks are currently killing the Rockies 16-1, it’s only the 5th inning.

Scored 14 in the 3rd

They batted around twice in the 3rd…15 of 18 batters reached base, 14 scored. 13 hits…insane

Was a heck of a game! Was cool to see the franchise record inning.

Wow! Wow!

At Zipps watching the game today and had an interesting experience. There was a play where catcher’s interference was called when the swinging bat impacted a lace of the catcher’s mitt. (It had absolutely no effect on the swing, but the rule says that any contact at all is interference.) I wondered aloud, how does that call even happen? When the contact is that slight at that speed, and the ump’s focus is necessarily on the ball rather than the mitt, how can the ump see it?

The guy sitting next to me tells me he used to be a minor league umpire. His answer: you can hear it. I was a little surprised by that. Even if the crowd is roaring, you can hear it? He said yes.

Anyway, I thought that was interesting and wanted to share.

DBacks taking their late-game strategy right out of the Suns playbook the last couple of games.
