[Devilmaycare]

And Merrill Kelly is terrible

He was going good for a few games there but's been horrible the last few starts.

The Home / Road splits are wild.

 

[Devilmaycare]

Lawlar just took one of the worst angles ever on a deep fly to the wall. This dude should not be playing CF

He should be in left with Waldschmidt in Center.

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I am obviously a stats dork. I haven't ever seen this level of disparity between home and road outside of Colorado. After tonights it's probably a full .200 OPS difference.

 

[Bobster]

There's a difference between being an "innings eater" and a good pitcher.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I mean that is also on the manager. You have to know when stuff goes awry and react swiftly not deliberately.

 

[Bobster]

Vargas last 39 Games - .167/.211/.211 - .422 OPS

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Why is he still pitching?????

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Vargas last 39 Games - .167/.211/.211 - .422 OPS

So Barossa

 

[Bobster]

These two dudes are playing over Waldschmidt

TroyLF	3	0	0	0	0	0	.217	.659
BarrosaCF	0	0	0	0	0	0	.172	.554

Lots of things probably go into it - Barrosa not having any options and them wanting Waldschmidt to play every day and work of some things.

I would probably just DFA Barossa though, it looks like he's never going to hit.

The biggest problem with the roster is that they have players coming off the IL (Smith, Gurriel, Santana) who aren't any better than the young players taking their place.

 

[Bobster]

Angels - 11 hits (including 5 extra-base hits), Diamondbacks - 1 hit

Yeah no one is picking up Barossa

 

[Bobster]

Trout may not be 100% back to where he used to be, but he's still pretty damn good.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I mean, it sucks at times to be a Dbacks fan but at least we didn't have Ohtani and Trout on the same team in a bad division and never made the playoffs

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

And because the Dbacks are having a wretched night, Carroll Strikes out on a ball at his eye level to end the inning. Woof

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

This is like watching the 2025 Cardinals around week 12

 

[AZ Native]

Watching paint dry is more exciting than watching this game.

Nice lineup Torey. Putting the guy hitting .220 4th was chef's kiss stupidity.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Groover...hilariously bad. Lawlar terrible on offense and defense.

So, when is it going to happen? I've seen enough.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

So, when is it going to happen? I've seen enough.

When the GM is out too. They are broskis

 

[TigToad]

I’m going to the game this afternoon. First game this year, so I’m sure that will help with all these sub .220 hitters.

 

[outcent13]

I said it before but I’ll say it again. They need to blow it up.
