I'll never understand hitters who swing at the first pitch after a pitcher shows no control the previous hitter. If you're swinging first pitch there it better be a fastball right down the middle or a cement mixer slider or something. Swinging at a fastball on the edge with the bases loaded is an awful decision there.

I don't understand why that wasn't Hader's inning.

 

4 run lead. 3 lefties due up. Seems like a PRIME spot to use him. Instead, let's put in one of our worst relievers (IMO). I don't get it.

 

Who pitches the 8th now??

Agree 1000%.

 

Watched the Cubs earlier today. Holland walked the bases loaded. Three walks in a row with 1 out. Zobrist comes up, swings at the first pitch and pops up. Obviously I liked it, but at least make the guy prove he can throw a strike.

Villar with the defensive play of the year right there. Hope he's okay
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I don't have the sound on, but it certainly looks bad. He got up, had to go back down and get carted off. Held his shoulder the entire time. That can't be a good thing. Ugh.

 

Come on Torres. At least get out of this inning with the lead.

I assume Bob Brenly is going to have to issue an apology tomorrow. Lots of old baseball dudes issuing apologies lately. Should maybe just keep their mouths shut.

Always said right before someone does exactly what they say they don't want to do.

Yeah, that was quite terrible.

 

A player is injured seriously enough to need to get carted off. The last thing on your mind should be "This is killing the Dbacks momentum". Even if you think it (which you shouldn't, it's not like he was playing it off to simply stall, that's absurd), to actually say it on the air is just flat out wrong. He most certainly owes at least an apology. It's really something that could even warrant a fine or something too. Just incredibly distasteful.

Great win, but the whole pen is pretty much gassed. If Guerra can't pitch nine innings tomorrow they should just use Hader to finish it out and see what happens.

 

They almost have to. Hader should be plenty rested enough (I'll drop it, but he 100% should have started the 7th inning tonight IMO). Feliz should be rested. How can we have NINE guys in the bullpen and have no options...ugh.

 

I keep hoping one day I see they'll drop guys like Drake and bring some others up, anyone really.

Lots of complaining about a rebuilding team up 2 games on June 10th. Enjoy it guys. Good chance it doesn't last.
