I hate that sequence by Torey so much. You have Brandyn Garcia in the game already you walk Julio and set up the DP ball with Josh Naylor up. Then you bring in Juan Morillo after that. I don’t get it
Today is a great day to scoreboard watch if you’re a @Dbacks fan. We are a Rockies win away from a perfect day of outcomes.
Padres lose
Cardinals lose
Nationals lose
Marlins lose
Braves lose
Giants lose
Reds losing to Mets
Cubs vs pirates tied but they are both 29-26
DBACKS WIN
@SleeperDbacks If I told you a team had these batting averages
+
Had bottom 5 bullpen era in all of baseball
+
Played LAD, DET, ATL, NYM to start the year
+
Missing their $230 Million dollar ace + #2 opening day starter
How many wins do you think they’d have through 12 games?
Meet Ken Kendrick
The Arizona Diamondbacks owner and mastermind behind a $100 million sports card empire.
How did a baseball mogul build the world’s most jaw-dropping collection?
His story starts here:🧵
@GoldyHappens Golden opportunity to rip Torey- What are we doing intentionally walking the winning run? Shohei A+ base stealer and you have mookie/freddie behind… gotta pitch to him
D-backs snuck away with the win there but how do you intentionally walk the go-ahead run into scoring position? Torey Lovullo is that scared of Ryan McMahon?
If you told me that through 23 games:
- Ketel Marte 8 GP
*Tawa/Hampson .185/.130
- Eugenio Suarez .156
- Lourdes Gurriel .177
- Gabriel Moreno .220
- Jose Hererra .130
- Jake McCarthy .073
- Starting rotation ERA near 5.0
I would’ve guessed the Diamondbacks were 6-17
Not having Ketel especially hurts when opposing managers can bring in lefties against Corbin without having to face a right-handed Ketel the very next at bat
There’s always a chance the D-backs underperform but on paper this is:
-best lineup since 2001
-best pitching rotation since 2001
-best bullpen in D-back history
This team was never going to do shit even if Torey pressed all the right buttons. 3 NL teams in the history of the League championship era (since 1969) won back-to-back pennants.
