Pittsburgh Pirates @ Arizona Diamondbacks series thread.07/26/24-07/28/24

[Dback Jon]

He was out

 

[Dback Jon]

And wild pitch.

 

[Dback Jon]

And Martinez hits a batter

 

[Bobster]

Martinez is becoming less and less reliable as the season goes along.

 

[FB94]

Hazen needs one more guy in the pen, preferably a closer. Sewald and Martinez ain’t it.

 

[FB94]

Hell would a closer tandem of Ginkel and Puk work for eight inning on

 

[Dback Jon]

Why not go for the double?

 

[FB94]

Push Thompson down to 7 inning

 

[Dback Jon]

Heckuva job Torey

 

[FB94]

what’s the excess this time Torrey.

 

[Dback Jon]

did a fan interfere?

 

[Dback Jon]

HOME RUN!

 

[Dback Jon]

If Newman had gone for the double play we would be tied

 

[Dback Jon]

Gurriel HR. 6-5.

 

[Dback Jon]

Corbin triple. 90 feet from a tie

 

[Dback Jon]

Damm it. Too many mental errors

Gave away the win

 

[GatorAZ]

Sewald’s average FB was 90 mph coming off a rest day. He’s toast. We’ll see if Torey cares more about wins/losses or veteran loyalty.

 

[outcent13]

That’s a bummer man. I don’t have any way of defending sewald there. Maybe this provides Mike Hazen with the motivation to get a stud closer.

 

[az jam]

Seward is terrible.

 

[ProdigalSun]

call up the Marlins to see if they want to deal their closer to us as well

 

[GatorAZ]

Tanner Scott will cost more than Puk who cost us De Los Santos. I just don’t see it.

Sewald is really a mystery right now. He has a 20% BS rate this season (16 of 20 save chances) but his WHIP is fantastic. It's hard to blow saves when you are under a 1 WHIP.

No mystery. He just doesn't have closer stuff. That's why the Mariners dumped him at the deadline last year. His WHIP ratio is good, but the "H" in that ratio includes a lot of doubles and dingers instead of singles. Yesterday, it was two doubles that blew the save.
