@shoewizard59 How does Max Kepler fit into all this?
I read that Kepler has 15 more games to serve of his suspension and is eligible to play in the minors until he is eligible to return to the big leagues.
@shoewizard59 Definitely felt like we could have scored more but a win is a win ๐
The Rookies seem to lose their approach as soon as there are runners on base. Hopefully will learn from it and make the adjustments.
@shoewizard59 The splitter by design is supposed to be below the zone the majority of the time so is it fair to say Arizona's problem us they chase it alot?
Do they have stat's for teams chase rate against a certain pitch?
@Aces@shoewizard59 Lawlar was pinch hit for in the 9th, do you think that is part of his rehab or possibly he came out early because they plan on calling him up?
Barrosa looks hopelessly lost at the plate at the big league level.
@shoewizard59 Given Corbin Burns set back do you think Arizona will run Gallen out there every 5th day no matter how bad he's going or there will be limit to how far this goes before they make a change?
@DbacksOnSI@shoewizard59 Yesterday Torey said he wanted to pinch hit for Barrosa in the 6th but wasn't comfortable with Vargas in LF for that many innings.
Leads to the question, why are Arizona carrying 3 catchers? Would Torey have preferred to keep Tawa on the roster if it was his decision?
@shoewizard59 Fernandez defensively is a little concerning at SS. Last time he played SS was against Milwaukee and his throwing had a bit of Blaze Alexander 2024 about it.
Hopefully it goes well for him tonight.
@shoewizard59 What a great win, putting Seattle behind them.
Paul Sewald so impressive with what he is doing. More often than not a no drama 9th.
Congratulations to E-Rod and the Bullpen.
