Todays game was a harsh reminder that this current roster is clearly not a playoff team. Despite the recent surge from Suarez and the offense, this team simply does not have the pieces or the depth to be a playoff team.
On a night where the Dbacks desperately needed a great outing from their starting pitcher, Eduardo Rodriguez clearly rose to the occasion holding the Astros lineup scoreless for over 6 IP. ERod’s velocity was up early tonight hitting 96 mph in the first inning and he seemed to be pitching with an edge tonight given the importance of tonight’s game.
