Wow! Todays game was impressive. No there weren’t any plays to make the highlight reels for the next 10 years or grand slam homers or broken records. What there was however was good solid baseball. All 3 elements were there today, hitting, defense and pitching. Good heads up small ball gave us an early lead, then time to shut up the critics, 3 solo homers!!! The critics are saying we couldn’t find a power hitter, they are right. So in true Dbacks fashion, we grew our own. Young, Byrnes and Salazar showed thier stuff at the plate, way to go guys. Of course all the hitting in the world does no good without solid defense to stop the other team. Once again our guys showed what they are made of with a stellar performance of good solid baseball. Last but certainly not least Brandon Webb showed a great deal of poise delivering a solid 6 inning performance only giving up 2 runs to keep us in the game. Brandon seemed to throw off opposing hitters by adding a killer change up to his arsenal this year. Expecting a dynamite slider on 2 strike counts, 5 batters were surprised to find themselves swinging at a change up for strike 3. That accounted for 5 of 6 strike outs for Brandon. Heres hoping for another CY Young Mr. Webb. Finally I was impressed with the opening day performance of the Bull Pen. 3 hitless innings and a save for Brandon Lyons. If today was any indication of the upcoming season we are in for a fun time!
