Yeah, they are on fire. Its going to be intresting to see how things play out. Webb has looked like the best pitcher in baseball his last few times outings, and I expect this team to make alot of noise the next coming months.

Losing is foreign to these guys. 11-4 win.

16 of 19 now with the reigning Cy Young winner on the mound tomorrow, who has thrown 24 consecutive innings without giving up a single run. (win.)

17 of the last 20, Webb pitched a shutout with 10k's. 33 innings now without giving up a run.

Yea, I was there. Webb FTW

No one cares though. It's all about the Yanks, Sox, and Braun :roll:

And for good reason. :wink:

I guess the Brewers taking 3 of 4 from the D'Backs woke them up. You may thank us later. :lol:

How are they 16 games above .500 with a negative run differential? They must be winning every close game and getting blown out a lot in losses.

As shown in the Atlanta series when they won the two extra innings games but lost 14-0 in the third game.

D-Backs pen:
Lefty Specialist: Doug Slaten, 3-1, 2.33 ERA, .207 AVG vs Lefty Batters
6th Inning: Juan Cruz, 4-1, 2.85 ERA, 56 SO's in 41 innings, .212 AVG against
7th Inning: Brandon Lyon, 6-3, 2.52 ERA, 20 Holds, 50 IP
8th Inning: Tony Pena, 5-2, 1.95 ERA, 21 Holds, 60 IP
9th Inning: Jose Valverde, 2.63 ERA, 31 SV's, .187 batting AVG against

That is damn near lights out.

26-15 in one run games. Only -20 in run diff. If it weren't for the 14-0 loss to ATL and SD 11-0, in a 4 game span, we would be +

Well, taking out the two worst losses could make every team's run differential look good.

It's far from a perfect indicator, but I think it's safe to say Arizona isn't quite as good as their record.

Another win today. The Dbacks are playing the best baseball in the majors at the moment.

The division is theres to lose imo. I think if they make it to the playoffs, they can make some serious noise with the pitching and defense, clutchness, and there ability to win close games. They need to pick there offense up alittle though.

..As of right now? No. The offense is fine, everyone is contributing, I'm not complaining.
