Max McDowell has now raised his BA 47 points by hitting .387 in his last 10 games. If he can hit enough, his throwing out 44% of would be base stealers in his Minor league career (including over 50% this season so far) would go a long way to getting him a look in the big leagues someday.

Or Suter throws 10mph and going through the line up multiple times creates meatball platters for hitters. Suter isn’t that good. This. Suter is of most value coming out of the pen and as a spot starter. Just my opinion. Ultimately this team will need more starting pitching whether it comes from within or via trade. With that being said, I am happy the Brewers have him as a option.

He was probably referring to the defensive play Sogard made to help get the Brewers out of the top of the 2nd.

Broxton on a tear in his last 10 games. 18 hits in his last 38 ab’s.

Raise the “L”!

DFA Logan. DFA Bandy.

Dbacks announcers made mention of this as well. Villar is now 6 for 11 against Corbin.

With the success of Hader and Peralta at the big league levels (following some struggles in AAA), maybe we should stay in Colorado Springs? Not sure if that should be in blue or not...

Go find one more reliever that has a last name that starts with the letter “I” and you could make something out of the H I J K (back to back to back to back in the alphabet)

JJ was absolutely dominant tonight. Thanks for contributing here Agent39. That split change that JJ is now throwing is such a great pitch to work off of mid 90’s heat. 96 to 83 can drive a batter crazy.

Hiura is getting the "glass case" treatment this year. He actually got the start at 2b tonight. Turned a double play and got pulled the following inning. Hopefully he didn’t get injured.

Hiura is not getting called up.......breathe easy.... I should have put it in blue... Anyways, with some of the recent transactions, it wouldn’t shock me!

Keston Hiura got pulled from the game in the 6th inning tonight. Did this coincide with Franklin getting hurt?

.45 ERA on the road, 5.95 ERA in Colorado Springs. Burnes is about the same as well.

Question for anyone who knows... In extra innings, do they always start the inning with a man on second base? I noticed this in the Biloxi game log. Both teams had an at bat in the 10th and both teams started the inning with a runner placed on second base.

Not according to local insiders. Marte to 2b and Ahmed stays at SS. Owings becomes utility guy.

Today on a afternoon radio show here in AZ, the resident Diamondbacks insider stated that the Dbacks have some parameters for deals setup in the case JD Martinez signs with Boston (or elsewhere). He stated quite firmly that the Dbacks will add an outfielder prior to Spring Training and a deal could happen within 24-48 hours from the time Martinez signs (if elsewhere). He stated the deals would be either another FA outfielder or to complete a trade for an outfielder. He stated the trade would cost the team less money and also return a better player then what is available in free agency. He didn’t name any players but that the Dbacks were holding out hope for JD Martinez with plans b and c in place, just in case. He stated the Dbacks were in a holding pattern until Martinez makes a decision. Could this involve Santana?

Staying in Maryvale... http://mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20171109&content_id=261155314&vkey=news_mil&c_id=mil

Just turned 21 at that (in June).

Overall Freddy Peralta now with 146 k's in 104 IP as a 21 year old in AA. Not bad at all!

To help shed some light on #1, the land the Brewers are seeking for this complex is PRIME and maybe the most PRIME land Gilbert has to offer. The Town of Gilbert will eventually make serious $$$ off the location regardless of what they put there. Some of the other hang ups I am hearing is that the park on the far NW end of the parcel is a Owl Park, a nature reserve type area/park. The other issue is the high school that would border the east side and concerns about traffic and other possible issues between the two during the month of March.

Sox come back to beat the Cardinals!

Thanks for the insider knowledge on this. While Gilbert would be an increase in drive time for me coming from California, I am seriously hopeful they can get this done. Please share any additional information you get regarding the proposal. Most definitely.

I live about 1 mile from this site, in Chandler, but on the border with Gilbert. I don't pretend to be any sort of insider but I do run a local business that heavily involves me with all the local towns and school districts. I don't know anyone on the Gilbert town council nor do I know the mayor. I do know people who work for the town and people who are a part of the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce.... In saying all this, here is what I have been able to find out... The Brewers approached the town of Gilbert with a proposal that included the Brewers pitching in $20m. The town and the Brewers were at the table for about 6 months on this until a town driven study came back that said the numbers didn't make sense for the town. The town left the table (this was back in June). Since then, the Brewers have appeared to get involved with a company called LGE Design Build and the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce. The proposal now being talked about has the Brewers paying for the cost of the stadium ($70m) and LGE taking on the development of the proposed "village" around the new stadium. This would include hotels and restaurants. LGE Design Build is the company most responsible for transforming the small downtown area of Gilbert into a hip, vibrant, must go place for locals. The Chamber of Commerce, without any of the town's funds or approvals, went and had their own study done. It is reported to be a much broader study to include impact on neighboring businesses and areas (such as downtown Gilbert and San Tan Mall/Village). Apparently the study by the town was on impact directly with the new site only and the tax dollars just that site would generate. It is told to me that the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce is all for the new Spring Training facility as the local business owners in the area see the impact it would have. Gilbert, once known as a small farm town has seen unprecendted growth in population and in the "things to do" department. The transformation in the last 5 years has been incredible.
