[Weenus O'Baggins]

Az Media is such weak balls for not calling out this Burnes drama

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

To be fair I agreed with the decision but I didn’t know Burnes couldn’t pitch the next day and would have to start 4 days later. That would have changed my mind. Either way, looks like I was wrong.

I honestly wonder if people in Arizona understand how good Burnes is. Hazen yet again gave Torey a gift and Torey was Torey

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Suarez bomb. 3-2 after 2. Torey is hitting Moreno in front of a dude that had 30 jacks is hilarious.

You're not an ace if you struggle to get through 6 innings every start.

Who could have predicted this outcome

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Jesus Gallen sucks. Legit he could be our #4 in 3 months with zero shock. Burnes was always a real ace. Pfaadt should continue to improve. Kelly before last year was a legit #2

 

[Bobster]

Terrible decision by Perdomo there.

 

[Bobster]

Little League defense tonight.

 

[Bobster]

If you're a major league CF you have to make that catch.

 

[AZ Native]

Little League defense tonight.

I resent that remark. I was better than that in Little League.

 

[AZ Native]

Alek Thomas it is.

 

[Bobster]

114 pitches for the Diamondbacks to get through 5 innings.

The shoddy defense probably made them throw 40 extra pitches.

 

[unseenaz]

Kinda strange that Carroll is in his 3rd season, and has a 3rd different batting stance already.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

2023 seems so long ago...the days of pitching and defense.

 

[AZ Native]

McCarthy? Sac fly. Still miss Alek’s defense.

The manager is a borderline moron

[AZ Native]

True. But we both know defense wins games. We can score runs. Need a balanced attack.

 

[AZ Native]

McCarthy is the odd man out.

 

[Mulli]

go cubs go

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

McCarthy is the odd man out.

Hes not even the odd man out. He is a nice LF with a weak bat being shoved into center because he hits 20 points higher than a superior outfielder. He would have a great spot if not for Lourdes, who is stealing from us at this point.

Ryne Nelson after a crap spring where he had a freaking 1.75 WHIP and an ERA of 8 getting the ball in game 1 is managerial maleficence.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

The team should line up and take turns kicking Torey in the nethers after this absolute shitshow

 

[Sparky16]

You're not an ace if you struggle to get through 6 innings every start.

Good call on starting the guy that wants Elite #1 $. I say trade him, he is not a #1 for exactly what you stated. H ehas melt down innings on the regular - like 13 straight balls? Also put Thomas in CF, Jakes "play" pretty much put the nail in the coffin. His bat does not offset what Thomas brings to the table
