Just frakinnnn fin comical way to lose

 

[TJ]

The entire coaching staff and bullpen need to do naked sprints in the outfield all night long with the sprinklers on.

 

[Fitz4Ever]

Torrey is SO bad in game. He has absolutely no idea what he's doing with the bullpen. He has been gifted a top 5 roster in MLB...and hes going to cost us even a wildcard because he doesnt try to win game. He doesn't seem to realize a win in April or May is the same as a win in September.

Can his ass emberessinnnnnn l im use to this bein a az sport fan sooo um yea

 

[TJ]

This team better have a horseshoe up its ass the remainder of the season because these losses are starting to pile up early in the season.

 

[Fitz4Ever]

Torrey is a loser. He's been here 9 years and has a winning percentage of .489.....we win 48% of our games.

He is personally responsible for at least 10-15% of our losses with just incredibly poor decisions. I can't think of any games in his entire time here where he "won" a game for us.

Our team is too good to have a loser as a manager. His loser mentality bleeds into the team. He is Mr excuses. Hazen and the ownership are putting a winning product on the field.

Its time to fire Torrey.

 

[Fitz4Ever]

Torreys press conference "im really proud of the guys"

No accountability...no anger...no taking the blame.

That's exactly why we will miss the playoffs. Look, torrey might be a nice guy...I think he genuinely doesn't care if the team wins or loses...he's happy we tried hard.

Sorry, thats loser talk and has no place in professional sports. He can take that bull crap and coach little league. He's paid millions of dollars...TO WIN GAMES

Just like last year.

Fix the damn bullpen already.


They spent a truckload of money signing Montgomery and Rodriguez that could have been spent fixing a giant hole in this organization.

The fact that the bullpen was awful last year and we sat back and did nothing to address the position was mind-boggling.

 

[Bobster]

Think how bad it would be if they hadn't stumbled accross Shelby Miller.

It was fixed, and then Puk & Martinez went down.
Miller and Beeks have been huge pick-ups thus far. But when your two top Closer options go down, everything gets screwed up…

Seriously? Do you really follow the team Cheese?
In case you and others forgot, Ginkel was lights out last years. And Thompson was extremely effective. While Puk and Martinez established themselves as the class of the pen.
Getting Burnes allowed them to put Nelson in the pen, a fantastic addition to the relief staff.
And then Hazen went and grabbed Beeks and Miller, who have been terrific.
C’mon man…

 

[Bobster]

Not all is well in the bullpen obviously -

R. Nelson 5.48 ERA
Thompson 5.74
Castillo 10.38
Ginkel 15.43
Mantiply 15.95

7th inning 5.08
8th inning 4.85
9th inning 8.13
7th-9th total 5.86

I am going to be honest here...

We have to take a long look at the new pitching coach. This has been the same across the entire staff save a couple notable exceptions:

Shoulder strains
Fatigue
Terrible early innings
Terrible late innings
Lots of nipping at the corners leading to a bunch of walks

 

[Chris_Sanders]

These city connects are possibly the best jerseys the Dbacks have ever had. They just absolutely pop

 

[Chris_Sanders]

1-0 through 4 and I have zero confidence we win.

You may be right about the new pitching coach. But that doesn't hide the fact that Lovullo is a poor in game manager. He is a nice guy, but a poor in game manager. The DBacks could use a manager like Mike Shildt (currently in San Diego but was fired from the Cardinals' after an in season 17 game winning streak - he dared to challenge the front office).

Yeah I am not defending Torey, just pointing out we didnt have all these issues the last 3 years. The only thing that has really changed is the pitching coach.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Keke is swinging at everything. I go outside

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And so does Burnes

 

[Chris_Sanders]

1-0 through 6. i hope Burnes can go at least 7

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Geno #12 no doubter

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Geno is going to hit 40 at this rate
