Arizona Diamondbacks @ Texas Rangers Series Thread. 05/11/26-05/13/26

Run differential of -24 at this point in the season is not exactly good. Even with most of the starters pitching better of late, the lack of run support will keep the team hanging around at .500 or so - kind of competitive but not playoff worthy.

0-6 with runners in scoring position.

batting Lourdes 6th is nonsense.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

And that is the ball game.

 

[AZ Native]

The DBacks are showing heart.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

And then...

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Vargas big single in the 9th to make it 5-3 Dbacks.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I know he has a hit but god Lourdes is horrific at the plate right now.

 

[AZ Native]

Waldy froze on a perfect pitch to hit. Now to the bottom of the 9th for the chance of a series win.

100%.

It's a lot of pressure on the kid and frankly needless pressure. Same with Jose

 

[AZ Native]

Now, is Sewald up to it?

 

[82CardsGrad]

Sewald…

 

[82CardsGrad]

Waldy froze on a perfect pitch to hit. Now to the bottom of the 9th for the chance of a series win.

Waldy has shown he’s got what it takes to stick in the bigs… However, his maturity and approach at the plate still has a ways to go…

 

[82CardsGrad]

Broken bat game tying single… Ugh…

 

[82CardsGrad]

First blown save of the season for Sewald. Figures it comes when the Dbacks finally used their bats for something positive…

 

[Bobster]

Going cheap on the bullpen pays off yet gain.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

And Sewald finally poops the bed

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Sewald…

Sewerwald showed up tonight.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Going cheap on the bullpen pays off yet gain.

Yea… because every highly paid closer never blows a save.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

And they walk it off

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Sigh...this season isn't really fun

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Welp, we can blame the pitching, but when you're 1-13 w/RISP in the first 8 innings, you're not gonna win a bunch of games.

 

[AZ Native]

Going cheap on the bullpen pays off yet gain.

Our bullpen has not been the problem.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Can they DFA the hitting coaches?

 

[AZ Native]

Sewerwald showed up tonight.

Pobody’s Nerfect. He has been great this year.
