Michael Soroka gives Diamondbacks another strong impression in win over Braves
“I think we fell behind a little more than we would have liked, but (catcher Gabriel Moreno) and I made some good decisions with some pitches late in counts, good pitches with guys in scoring position, let the defense work and got the win,” Soroka said. “I’ve competed as well as I could have hoped. I think that’s the big thing. You’re not going to have everything working on every day, and obviously the finish on pitches was a little bit better last time out.”

Sewald flushes loss with dinner and a movie, then earns clutch save for Soroka
“I went in the training room and did the exact same stuff,” Sewald said. “If I had struck out the side, I would have done the same thing. And so, you just go home and I had dinner and watched a movie, and then we came back today, and, like I said, the easiest way to flush it is just to pitch right away.” https://www.mlb.com/dbacks/news/michael-soroka-throwing-error-help-d-backs-beat-braves

Torey Lovullo says Diamondbacks need to stop chasing pitches out of strike zone
“Our chase rate is extremely high right now,” Lovullo said. “If we zone in, try not to do too much, wait for our pitch, it‘s the art of hitting and the beauty of baseball. When you do it, it’s sweet music. When you chase, you get yourself into bad counts. Pitchers have nasty stuff. You’ve got to slow the game down, swing at strikes, see the baseball, understand what the at-bat is asking for. That’s the simplicity of hitting for me. We’re a little bit anxious trying to do too much, in my opinion.”

D-backs’ Lawlar expected to miss 6-8 weeks with fractured wrist
“It’s frustrating,” Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen said. “I’m sure he’s frustrated more than we are. He looked great. He was doing a really good job in the outfield, and he was having great at-bats. We’re going to miss him, but we’ll keep the train going until he comes back.”

Only 2 animals enjoy spicy food.
Humans and tree shrews are the only known species to seek out spice. Next time you chicken out of those extra hot wings, you can be assured there’s nothing wrong with you.
