Game #106-Arizona Diamondbacks (53-52) @ Miami Marlins (39-63). 7/28/2019

Ronin didn't post up a game thread so I figured I would. Stinks I cant watch this now on fox AZ.

Score is tied 1 to 1.

Locastro would've made that catch. David is an average OF. They should trade him. I love the guy and the leadership he brings. But his bat has declined and fielding is not his strongest asset.

TL lets Robbie pitch the 6th, gives up an HR


Offense is flat again

 

[BC867]

Robbie threw 99 pitches through the first 5 innings. Yes, he is a strikeout pitcher, but
he has become his own worst enemy. Way too many pitches.

And, sure enough, once at 100 pitches, he gives up a home run. D-backs are down 3-1.

Peralta was our only dependable clutch hitter.

Now Marte and Escobar fill that role.

And the Freight Train spends a lot of time on
the side rail out of service.

Said to say, but I agree. Peralta would be a
good DH in the American League.

But Locastro is not the answer in LF. It is a
power position. If Dyson is moved, Locastro
would be a good replacement at leadoff and
Center Field.

If Tomas has gotten his act together, and
especially with his overwhelming salary on
the books, he'd be a candidate for LF.

 

[BC867]

And Chafin, on in relief, gives up a 2-run homer.

 

[BC867]

Tying run at the plate in the top of the 8th,
with the heart of the order up with one out,
but the D-backs leave the bases loaded.

Sill 5-1 Miami. We had our chance.

 

[BC867]

D-backs go down harmlessly in the 9th.

The finale is at 4PM tomorrow,
which is a night game in Miami.

The D-backs are going to be a tired
team traveling to New York for a
2-game series vs. the Yankees, the
second of which is a day game.

Final score today. 5-1 Marlins, who
lead the series 2-1.

Sell! Sell! Sell!!

So seven games against the absolute worst baseball has to offer and the best they can manage is 4-3?

One more vs. Miami in an unusual Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon series.

It will be interesting how it works out.

BTW, Torey announced that he is removing Holland from the closer role
and rotation and no one will have a regular role.

Just like he treats his starting lineup.

Desperation management? Hardly the formula for team that hope to win.

Yeah, this team is incredibly frustrating, I am losing interest fast and with the other major sports coming up I won't likely even have the games on anymore. They aren't fun to watch, their inconsistency in many different facets of baseball is maddening; they are incredibly frustrating to watch. I would almost us be 20 games under .500 with a significant goal on rebuild then this ambiguous "do we sell or not sell" kind of attitude.
