No you’re right thank you @Cardinals for not moving our game up to this afternoon when we politely asked given the whole world knew it was going to rain tonight. I actually was really hoping we could lose an off day and turn it into a 4 city road trip 👍🏻
.@MLB Commissioner writes to me and admits they were wrong to threaten the Giants players over Bible verses and promises never to fine or discipline these players - or any players for their religious beliefs
Cabrera threw 85 pitches last AAA start, got 8 days off then threw just 62 pitches.
Absolutely idiotic management of rookies continue. You cant break routine like this and not expect injuries. Poor Brandon Pfaadt too. This is how Drey Jameson got hurt bouncing around his TJ year
Miles Russell checked with a rules official to see if his dad could carry his bag on the last hole. USGA allowed it. His dad had no idea it was coming.
Beautiful stuff 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Arizona is the one and ONLY sports market in maybe the world where you can make the playoffs once in the past 8 seasons and be absolutely beloved by the media & fan base and likely be in line for another extension. 29 other teams fire Torey after:
2020 8 team playoff miss
2021 111 loses
2022 playoff miss
(People forget the #DBacks slump last 2 weeks of 2023 made the playoffs only on Suzuki missed pop fly to drop Cubs out)
2024 #1 runs scored, pitching & bullpen management missed playoffs
2025 Had to sell at deadline because vets didn’t play well with Torey
2026 3rd year in a row a Torey throws star player under the bus for needing a day off sparking a losing streak. 11-23 vs over .500 teams 2nd worst in NL
D-backs 1B have an OPS of .561 this year.
That's not just the worst of any team in the majors this year.
It's the worst recorded figure at 1B for a season by any MLB team since... 1920.

Learned this rule back when I helped coach. Witnessed a player do this during a round DURING the hole, not after completion. I thought it was obviously a 2 stroke penalty regardless, but if he had tapped in and not marked it would’ve been perfectly legal, per the USGA rule below
Early in the delay, commentator Tom Abbot asked a rules official from the USGA if players could practice putting on the previous green of the hole they just completed during the delay. This is allowed, as the weather was not dangerous and players were holding in place.
But Abbot revealed another little known rule after - which stumped former U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk. You can do this DURING rounds, so long as you don’t hold up play and there is no local rule against it.
Imagine doing this in the U.S. Open?
HR Derby is ditching the clock, per @EvanDrellich:
1st round: 20 swings
2nd round: 15 swings
Championship: 15 swings
Last pitch each round is "swing until you don't go deep."
Hilarious tweet to read. A big market superstar is getting snubbed by the asinine system that is fan voting and there needs to be a rule change over it.
2024 Christian Walker vs Pete Alonso would love a word.
Dbacks are batting below .100 with RISP in the month of June
Pavin Smith made his return from the IL on June 1st
I’m not saying it’s a coincidence. BUT…
We are giving this @HannaGolfCo putter away.

Back to the lab.
Haven’t seen this yet on the TL, but calling to can the hitting coach?? Torey sets the lineup, benches the hot bats, lets rookies ride the pine for days on end…just doesn’t seem like pointing their finger in the right direction, does it…
Joe Mather has been D-backs hitting coach since 2023
From March 2023 thru 5/31/2026 D-backs .263 BA w/RISP 4th best in MLB
A horrific 2 week slump and many people are calling for him to be fired
I'm as frustrated as you are, but this is insane

Today, D-backs Manager Torey Lovullo goes for his 700th career win as skipper.
He would be the 8th active manager to reach that number. And 106th manager ever to do it.
He has the most wins in franchise history (699), ahead of Kirk Gibson (353) and Bob Melvin (337)
