D-backs score 5 runs in wild 9th to walk it off vs. Padres
“That’s why we get paid,” Perdomo told reporters after the game. “To come through in a situation like this. I just tried to get the ball over the plate, tried to have a good at-bat. Suarez has been one of the best closers in baseball and so I just tried to do my job — seeing pitches and putting the ball in play.”

Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres: Diamondbacks pull off stunner in bottom of 9th
“I think if you ask anybody, we like just the normal win — whatever it is, 7-2, 5-1,” Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen said. “You’d rather the normal ones. (But) I think the crazy games have become our thing over the last couple of years.”
Diamondbacks Score Five in Ninth Inning to Walk Off the Padres
“That’s why we get paid, you know. To come close in a situation like this,” Perdomo said. When asked if he was a little tired and winded after the play at the plate, the 25-year-old quipped, “Kind of. I’m getting old, man.”
Diamondbacks keep playing wild games, but now they’re winning
“It was kind of crazy because even when we were up in the sixth inning, something going through to my mind was maybe a walk-off base hit or homer,” Perdomo said. “In the bottom of the ninth, when I sat close by Brandon (Pfaadt), he told me, ‘Hey, you’re gonna win the game for us.’ I just looked at him and I started smiling because I was thinking in the last three or four innings the same situation, and thank God it happened. It was a great team effort right there.”

Diamondbacks’ Christian Montes De Oca to have back surgery shortly after MLB debut
It turns out, his back was the bigger issue, one he tried to push through.
“ It’s something that’s been lingering, something that’s been bothering him, the way it’s been explained to me, since spring training,” Lovullo said. “Something he’s been trying to manage became a little bit too unmanageable over the past couple of weeks.”

Dan found and pointed out an article from the SD newspaper. Apparently I am at my “article limit.” It’s 1$ per year for a trial, but if you don’t want that make sure you cancel at some point because if does say 4.99$ per week after a certain point. This is a good article, though. I am not going to quote any of it since I know there are rules against doing that on pay articles.

Wade Miley alleged to have given Tyler Skaggs drugs on Diamondbacks. Here’s his response
“I hate what happened to Tyler, it sucks,” Miley said on June 13 before his current team, the Cincinnati Reds, played the Detroit Tigers. “My thoughts are with his family and his friends. But I’m not going to sit here and talk about things that someone might have said about me or whatnot. I was never a witness for any of this. I was never accused of any wrongdoing.”

The human brain uses 20% of the oxygen in your body.
This is continuous and it does not rest even when we sleep. This is why when people yawn it is believed to be the brain’s way of cooling down.
Talking uses 100 muscles.
Introverts, you’re all valid. Talking really is a chore – not just mentally, but physically. To form a few phrases, the body must use 100 different muscles from the chest, neck, jaw, tongue, and lips.
