1 game in and we already have musical line-ups. Lovullo's got to go.

And complaining about things every manger does already starts

Carson Kelly will get 40-45 starts. Vogt the rest

1B and DH will be based on match ups get used to it. And since it’s 60 games in 68 days players will get a day or two off here and there so lame will get a few starts at third, etc

that will be the same for every catcher in the league

Once again The D backs struggle when you’ve gotten two outs on the other team

I got more enjoyment watching the league and the players association argue for months than watching this debauchery

There is no excuse to come out like this and not even be ready to compete.

Lovullo should be fired immediately. I have never seen a team in any sport enter a season this unprepared, with the possible exception of the 1996 Suns' 0-13 start.

And Peralta and Escobar look like they don't even want to play.

I mean the 2003 Tigers and 97 Cubs were juggernauts compared to the 0-2 D Backs lol

Outscored 20-3 by the Dodgers in the two pre-season games (against marginal pitchers) now makes it four games of hitting futility.

We have a team of good line drive hitters, but it's still one popup after another. If 2 guys do it, it's on them. The whole team?
That's on management.

Until we see anything different, with Torey's stab-in-the-dark approach, the team is laying a weak foundation to this short season.
Following last season when our biggest problem was runners-left-on-base.

I had actually repressed a memory. What this start reminds me of is the Suns' start in 2017 that got Earl Watson fired after 3 games. The team looks that listless and lacking in effort and focus.
