Woodford lost it

 

[Dback Jon]

5 run hill to climb

 

[TJ]

Every single Padres reliever would be our best bullpen arm

 

[TJ]

Corbin and Ketel have to step up. It’s that simple. Both are playing like they’d rather be at home

 

[Dback Jon]

And a whimper to end it

Nooo poffs ohhhh well (( roughhh season honestly

Changes needed

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel Jr. sets record by hitting home run off 103.9-mph pitch

The Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a home run off a 103.9-mph pitch by the Padres' Mason Miller. It's the fastest pitch to be hit for a home run since MLB started tracking the stat.

LOL… of all people, Gurriel crushes game-tying dinger!!! On a 104mph fastball! Wow!

At that speed, my guess is the batter has to guess where the ball will be once it leaves the pitcher's hand.

Why lol a guy for doing it? He did it. End of story.

Corbin with a shot for a home run

Gurriel would not have been my pick to hit a 104mph pitch over a fence…

 

[krazy2k]

I think old Nestor is going to get whacked by our young Dbacks...He came into the game with a 9 ERA and it is just going up, lol.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Bases loaded and nobody out… and we eke out just 1 run. Against this team, that will likely haunt us later in the game…

OK, not your pick, but the man earned it.

 

[gimpy]

Does anyone know why Torrey took out Descalfini?

 

[Dback Jon]

Does anyone know why Torrey took out Descalfini?

My guess is that I had to do with pitch count since he’s more of a converted starter

 

[82CardsGrad]

OK, not your pick, but the man earned it.

Think you misinterpreted my “LOL.” That was directed at me, not at Gurriel. I’ve been anti-Gurriel for a while now… so I LOL at myself.

 

[Dback Jon]

Bullpen cupboard is bare

 

[82CardsGrad]

Bullpen implosion loading…

 

[82CardsGrad]

Ouch… making the 3rd out at 3rd base is a cardinal sin!

 

[Dback Jon]

Ouch… making the 3rd out at 3rd base is a cardinal sin!

Bad base running again

 

[AZCB34]

Bad base running again

Terrible baserunning team

 

[Dback Jon]

Bullpen implosion loading…

Just a matter of which inning

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Good Lord...that didn't even need a challenge. It wasn't really close at all. There was plenty of dirt between his cleat and the base to see Blaze got there 1st.
