In our opening series, we outscored the Giants 14-2 but we ended up splitting the four-game series, a mathematical improbability and honestly a pretty pathetic outcome. Though none of Saturday's starters ended the game with a batting average above .200, Sunday's game saw a number of players wake up and shatter the Mendoza line: Chris Taylor (2-for-5, now batting .267 in the leadoff spot); Yasiel Puig (3-for-4, .231); Yasmani Grandal (2-for-4, .400); and Kike Hernandez (2-for-4, .333). Cody Bellinger got his first hit of a year, a two-run HR in the sixth off of Josh Osich. And it was fun to finally spank a team on national television, driving Osich's ERA to 10.80 and Robert Gomez' ERA to 36.00.
And now we go to the valley of the Snakes, who beat the Rockies in their opening series two games to one, and got to spend Easter Sunday hanging out with their families and coloring dyed eggs. (What to do with those eggs?) The Diamondbacks' 2-1 record now leads the NL West, with the Dodgers a scant half-game behind.
These Snakes are happy! We can't score runs consistently, and we haven't rested! What could possibly go wrong?

Better late than never?
Did anyone pick Yasmani to go yard first this year? Good thing I didn't bet on it because I picked Matty.
Off-topic, Go Nova!
Ryu walks Jake Lamb on four straight to give the snakes a gift run. Bases still loaded
3-2 through 3
Peralta smokes a triple off of Ryu. 3-3, ryu can’t even get out of the fourth inning.
Ryu can't get out of the buffet line, either. Coincidence?
<---mush brain. I fforgot about Bellinger's jack yesterday.
Bellinger providing the insurance run in the seventh. RBI single up the middle. 5-3 in the 7th.
Logie Bear had the go ahead homerun earlier too.
Chargois the real deal?
I'm buying on him.

Bellinger 1B

Forsythe 3B

Kershaw has given up two solo bombs. We're down 2-1 in the third.
Oops. I meant the fifth inning.
Five curveballs to Kemp and we strand Puig at third. Still down 2-1 going to the bottom of the sixth.
Alexander walks in a run in the seventh. One out Goldy coming up and Baez coming in. 3-1.
Hello everyone. I’m here at Chase Field, really hoping to not see the Dodgers get swept today.
Hi Erin! I hope you can bring them some luck today!
Geez. We are already down 1-0 after 1 in the day game today. Suck
Hi Erin! What up?
We are batting like fucking fifth-graders
Kemp Ks feebly. What a fucking surprise
So far I am not much of a good luck charm.
Holy shit we're already down 2-0 and we're not even out of the second inning yet. What the fuck
Back soon. I’m heading to the dugout to give these guys a little pep talk.
My pep talks are a slow burn. Don’t expect immediate results.
The D-Backs are building a picket fence. 3-0 in the third.
I did not travel to Phoenix to watch the Dodgers get no-hit. This is brutal.
Corbin will keep throwing sliders in th dirt, and we’ll keep swinging and missing.
*the dirt, of course
ERIN!
I didn't know we were playing right now. Are we losing? (checks) Of course we're losing.
Next time we go to Arizona, someone needs to tell the team it's the playoffs.
Was talking to Stubbs last night — he thinks D'backs will win division and Dodgers WC. Agree?
Can't say I disagree after this terrible series. Lots to improve on.
That was quite an experience.
@Sax
In the ST, you mention the D-bags coloring dyed eggs. Do you mean the eggs were already dyed, and then they colored them? Seems like overkill, design-wise.
