[Bobster]

Sewald's ERA is over 5.00 now.

The lead is now 6-5.

 

[Bobster]

back-to-back HR. Now 6-6.

Sewald sucks.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Sewald's ERA is over 5.00 now.

The lead is now 6-5.

Can't be a Dbacks reliever without a 5.0.

Sewald and Thompson need to be sent packing. They're toast.

 

[AZ Native]

JFC!

Sewald starts the year good. Then it all goes backwards.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

You know you suck when the opposing crowd is now chanting your name, to taunt you.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Sewald starts the year good. Then it all goes backwards.

He's a closer with a gimmick and once teams figure out his gimmick, he's just another reliever.

Sewald and Thompson have come crashing down to earth in a tragic end to their careers…
Dbacks rode those horses for all their worth. They need to be put out to pasture… starting tomorrow.
Reality is however, they literally don’t have enough arms to do that.

 

[82CardsGrad]

And now we all regress to the Bad News Bears…

 

[Bobster]

Sewald -13 earned runs in his last 11.1 innings, 10.32 ERA.

Just keep bringing arms up from the farm, where the pitching coaches are better anyway.

Feel bad for Pfaadt. Now he gets a free shot in Thompson AND Sewald. Free shots to the nutz!

Trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - your 2026 Arizona Diamondbacks! Another extra inning disaster looming. Hey Torey - a closer does not have an ERA over 5.25! Torey is fricking lost when it comes to in game management.

 

[AzStevenCal]

A loss would be worse but I'm not even sure a 10th inning victory could wipe away this lousy feeling. This feels like a statement game and it's the wrong statement.

Exactly...to blow a 6-0 lead late is a disaster. Just like Sewald. Just like Torey. Sell, Sell, Sell (except the Dbacks don't have much to sell at this point, lol). My guess is that they will stand pat at the deadline and hope a .500 record can sneak into the last wild card.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Ok, let's go Ginkel.

 

[Dbacks05]

It seems like many outings in a row Thompson gets 2 quick outs then just gives up hit after hit. He just can't get the 3rd out. Sewald is clearly cooked. Everything he throws ends up in the seats right now.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Man, pulling Arenado for Vargas.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

JFC!

 

[Bobster]

Comedy of errors.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Should have left Vargas at 1st Torey!

 

[Devilmaycare]

Wow have the last 3 innings been ridiculous. Pfaadt had another great outing only to get screwed by the pen.

Great catch by Barbosa in the 10th just now.

Lowe handed the Dbacks 2 runs on errors. Pfaadt absolutely cruised through 7. There was no reason this should have even been a game. And a win in the stupid ghost runner would feel like an NHL shootout win. A win doesn't feel deserved at this point.

Now Torey had to blow through the pen and nobody will be fresh for tomorrow.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Do you bring Ginkel back for the 11th? I think he only had 11 pitches...or do you go to Clarke?

 

[AZ Native]

As I predicted before the season started, we are a .500 team. It is what it is. At .500, we will not make the playoffs. Just the facts Ma’am. Who said that on an old TV show?
