First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. Arizona time
https://sports.yahoo.com/rumors-swirl-ray-starts-diamondbacks-against-os-042324982--mlb.htmlRumors swirl as Ray starts for Diamondbacks against O's
Left-hander Robbie Ray will look to win his fourth straight start -- and perhaps his last in an Arizona uniform -- when the Diamondbacks host the Baltimore Orioles on Monday.
Ray (8-6, 3.92 ERA) has career numbers of 43-44 and a 4.03 ERA in his six major league seasons, the last five with the Diamondbacks. Since the start of the 2017 season, however, he's 29-13 with a 3.51 ERA, and he's also believed to be among the hottest commodities heading into this year's July 31 trade deadline.
Reports list several contenders interested in his services, notably the New York Yankees, Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies, Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros.
Could someone please clue in Lovullo regarding his 25 member family that resides in the clubhouse. They are not all good players. I'm tired of all the talk that "all the ingredients are here". They've been there for 100 games. Of which you have won 50. That is calledFirst pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. Arizona time
Perhaps this recent spectacle of his bullpen will bring it to a head for him and his pitching coach Mike Butcher.Could someone please clue in Lovullo regarding his 25 member family that resides in the clubhouse.

mediocre. This so-called manager has his head up his ass and is afraid to hurt a players feelings telling them their performances stink! Lovullo thinks his bullpen has done some "outstanding" work. Really?? Look at the last 4 games. They collectively stink! If they do not sweep the O's and the Marlins then call it quits 'cuz the wildcard will be just another of Lovullo's pipe dreams for his solid club.

Who knows what has been going on behind the scenes but, for D-backs fans, it appears that the Front Office
has not been able to improve the situation.
In other words, it is a good thing that the bullpen has bottomed out to make it clear that change is needed.
Why?I believe Butcher will at least make it through the season...if not longer.
Why?
As long RayDay is not "Mayday, mayday".xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
