Already down by 2. it's like deja poo

 

[Bobster]

They have to be one of the worst 1st inning teams in baseball.

Kelly and Gallen both sporting ERAs north of 5. Nostalgia doesn't work for the Dbacks.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

That Groover call up while demoting Fernandez seems pretty stupid

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Dbacks go an entire game without a walk. Excellent plate discipline

Ya think, Torey? The "L" across that guy's forehead gets bigger as the season unfolds.

Torey Lovullo said Kade Strowd is alright "so far," after experiencing some dead arm last night, but that he'll continue to be evaluated.

 

[Bobster]

5th game this year with a position player mopping up on the mound.

 

[Bobster]

Inconsistent hitting + inconsistent starting pitching = Success!!!

Depressing to lose a home series to these guys. Will probably get swept. Torey has got a .500 team at best that ain't going anywhere this season. No hitting and no pitching. This is not your father's 2023 Dbacks.

 

[Bobster]

They definitely need to add a 1B with some pop, and they're really only got two starting pitchers they can rely on. I have a small glimmer of hop[e for Kelly and Nelson that they can turn things around, but Gallen is only confirming that the 2025 Gallen is the real Gallen.

Does Torey survive a .500 season and a finish out of the playoffs?

In theory no but Hazen and him are attached at the hip

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

But also, we have been very privey to this organization and it's kind of a poop show. Torey has no control over anything roster related or days off related. He just gets to set the lineup and make in game choices. Hazen's entire approach is beyond controlling but let's the manager take an inordinate amount of blame.

Yep...Torey will survive regardless of the record. That's just how the front office rolls.

 

[krazy2k]

Can the Dbacks avoid being swept at home by a team that was under .500 when the series began? Consult your magic 8 ball for the answer.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

2nd and 3rd nobody out and Perdomo and Groover put together awful ABs and the runners stay still. Troy up with 2 outs.
