Diamondbacks Face Cubs In NLDS
Well, the 2007 regular season is in the books for the Diamondbacks and it’s hard to be disappointed. If you would have told me Randy Johnson would miss most of the season, I would have said the Diamondbacks were smoke but they not only won the NL West, they had the best record in the National League so if they can take care of the Cubs beginning Wednesday, there should be plenty of action at Chase Field.
It’s hard to pick a hitting MVP because every played their part. Chris Young belted 32 homers, but his OPS+ of 88 was hardly stellar. Eric Byrnes, Conor Jackson and Orlando Hudson all had their hitting highlights and rookie Mark Reynolds made his impact as well.
Brandon Webb followed up his 2006 Cy Young season with a campaign that should give him some Cy Young votes this year but it’s funny that he wasn’t the most exciting pitcher in the second half. Despite going 8-8, that prize has to go to Micah Owings. And the pen was nothing short of awesome. From Jose Valverde to Juan Cruz on down, this pen got the job done and that should be huge in this short playoff series.
The time for Wednesday game hasn’t been announced, but the pitchers have. It’ll be to aces with Brandon Webb going up against Carlos Zambrano.
