00:00 How about the Arizona Diamondbacks after a sluggish start now?

00:02 500 after a slugfest yesterday.

00:06 12 to 11 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

00:08 My best bet here on the early line was an RBI to be plated by

00:12 Jock Peterson, who hit a home run and plated two RBI yesterday.

00:15 It was a look at like out of the end of the fifth inning,

00:18 which they scored eight total runs in that inning.

00:20 You see the Cubs scored six times in the top of the sixth inning.

00:23 So hold on now, we got 11 runs by the seventh inning and we get

00:26 shut out in innings eight, nine, and ten in extras.

00:30 And you had one run apiece there for the Arizona Diamondbacks in

00:33 seven, eight, nine, and then inning number 10. Impressive

00:36 performance at the plate here. Two questionable pitchers coming

00:39 into that game and they lit the ballpark up out there in Arizona.

00:42 Yeah, I mean, I don't know what Tommy Henry has done to deserve

00:47 a spot in a Major League Baseball rotation career. 4.84 ERA.

00:50 He doesn't strike anyone out.

00:52 He walks 10% of the guys that he faces.

00:55 So I think Tommy Henry is a great indicator whenever he goes,

00:58 you might want to be betting the over team total for the opposing

01:03 team and Kyle Hendricks kind of the same deal.

01:06 Like he's just a guy that has been so figured out by Major League

01:09 Baseball hitters. Home run for Ian Happ, kind of like Ian Happ

01:13 as a utility guy. Wonder what the direction of the Cubs

01:18 franchise is going to be. If the Pirates are an 85-win team,

01:23 there's not enough room for another solid team in that division.

01:26 One of the Cardinals or the Cubs is going to have a disaster

01:30 season, right? It'll probably be the Cardinals given everything

01:34 we know about that organization and the fact that they just

01:36 like don't instruct their pitchers to strike guys out. But I

01:39 am selling on the Cubs and I was so against the

01:43 Diamondbacks last year, but I'm reluctantly buying on this

01:46 Diamondbacks team.
