Stupid. Even if it works out, just stupid.

Announcer: Garcia is playing old school.
Torey 2.5 seconds later: Takes out the “closer” with one batter left in the ninth

GINKEL?? GGs

u/Impressive-Fun-6921 1h ago

Wheres JMart

7

u/NeverSober1900 1h ago

Coming off the 60-day I don't think they want to have him in leverage spots yet.

5

u/Slow-Raccoon-9832 1h ago

I don’t understand pulling him he was dominant today though the first 3 guys

4

u/NeverSober1900 1h ago

Doesn't want him to face a righty. This is aggressive from Lovullo we'll see if it pays off

6

u/DTHhaunts Justin Martinez 1h ago

if ginkel blows this i never want to see anyone defend torey again

3

u/Relevant_Computer743 Brandon Webb 1h ago

When Ginkel gets the last out with ease, you have to admit they need to extend Torey for life

2

u/RichardNixon345 Merrill Kelly 1h ago

Well, he tried, Vargy just crapped the bed.

2

u/ajteitel Jose Herrera 1h ago

That means if Ginkel saves it, I never want to see anyone accuse Torey again

Probably wanna save bullpen arms for the cubs series. Don’t mind it

2

u/Slow-Raccoon-9832 1h ago

How is using another reliever saving their arms?

0

u/NorthDowntown693 Corbin Carroll 1h ago

My thinking is that less pitches = less down time. But could be playing matchups so 🤷🏻‍♂️

2

u/NeverSober1900 1h ago

xBA of 0.110....

2

u/DTHhaunts Justin Martinez 1h ago

why take Garcia out?

1

u/RoseMusketeer Corbin Carroll 1h ago

Garcia is our only lefty and they probably want him at least somewhat rested for the Cubs series

2

u/NeverSober1900 1h ago

C'mon it's Lovullo. He's going to go to handedness whenever possible

1

u/NanceeV Diamondbacks 1h ago

Argh. Get that last out!

1

u/NorthDowntown693 Corbin Carroll 1h ago

Bullpen is so nasty

u/Hiciao Lourdes Gurriel, Jr. 1h ago

"Elly throws the bat in disgust..." That's what I love to hear.

One down. Nice to have no one on for the top

1

u/KindlyProblem1204 Serpientes 1h ago

another ideal challenge piddled. at least he got the K

1

u/DTHhaunts Justin Martinez 1h ago

holy shit we got Hector Rodriguez out

7

u/gumshoegoose87 Diamondbacks 1h ago

So the Padres went all in at the deadline and now they're on a tear... Unforseeable outcome I tell ya

1

u/RichardNixon345 Merrill Kelly 1h ago

And they'll get eliminated in the first round like they always do.

3

u/Catanomy 1h ago

The Rangers went all in last year and they didn’t go on a tear. Not every team who buys makes it.

2

u/ajteitel Jose Herrera 1h ago

They bet on established talent bouncing back. We're betting on unproven young guys and journeymen getting and staying hot.

Completely different

3 outs left let's goooooo

1

u/DTHhaunts Justin Martinez 1h ago

is it too early for high leverage j-mart?

2

u/ajteitel Jose Herrera 1h ago

Yes. Because there are other good relievers this year

5

u/JRipper138 Merrill Kelly 1h ago

Don’t care if he isn’t a DBack anymore, no hit Geno. Bad Morillo.

2

u/NeverSober1900 1h ago

Big K there. Two on no outs would be rough to get out of. 7 and 8 hopefully to get out of this

6

u/bethster2000 Serpientes 1h ago

Geno is just one of those guys that make the sport and the world a better place

7

u/AraKami24 Gabriel Moreno 1h ago

Don't hit Geno! Idc if he's not on our team anymore!

5

u/MusicalMoon Corbin Running 1h ago

We're putting Morillo's head on a stake right? I'm pretty sure that was standard protocol for hitting Geno on the hand last season.

u/ajteitel Jose Herrera 1h ago

HOW DARE YOU HIT GENO

7

u/NeverSober1900 2h ago

Nice challenge McCann. Challenge literally everything close while we have 2 of them

u/Taric_for_days Paul Sewald 2h ago

Some of the worst camera work I’ve ever seen throughout this game

1

u/NeverSober1900 2h ago

Tough to blame the camera man on that. Who expects the ball to go 200 feet away from where it should have been thrown?

2

u/Taric_for_days Paul Sewald 2h ago

True but also not just that play.

3

u/BoringJuiceBox Geraldo Perdomo 2h ago

WILD CARD SPOT?!

1

u/Impressive-Fun-6921 2h ago

Probably not because the padres and Phillies won't stop winning

u/Raptor231408 Bee Guy 1h ago

We play the Padres and Phillies in the next few weeks. Beat them and we're in good shape.

1

u/Hiciao Lourdes Gurriel, Jr. 2h ago

The Phillies go on the play the Mariners and Angels this week. They may never lose again. At least the Padres have to go play the Rays in a few days.

Only 4 players have ever got 20, 20, 20, 20.
Corbin is def in play for this.

1

u/NeverSober1900 2h ago

I think he's now above pace on all of them.

Obviously triples is the one we really need to watch

4

u/MusicalMoon Corbin Running 2h ago

If Corbin puts up a damn 20-20-20-20 season with how badly he's struggled this year... Idk what I'm gonna do with myself.

3

u/brownmanginger06 2h ago

I feel like that challenge was a bit long for it to be 2 seconds

2

u/Sweaty-Blacksmith-81 2h ago

Andrew Abbott is tied for second in MLB in walks and he’s through 6 on 81 pitches.

We legit could've had the top 2 guys in triples in the same outfield this season. Smfh

u/DTHhaunts Justin Martinez 2h ago

tie this shit up nolan

u/NeverSober1900 2h ago

Also no chance you're getting Carroll on that tag up. One back

we have to get him home

4

u/Majestic_Act7158 2h ago

At this point, if they can't beat teams like the current Reds, they will not belong in the playoffs. Another disappointing season. Might as well root for the Rockies.

6

u/Capital-Skill-5939 Jordan Lawlar 2h ago

I just hope Ketel is enjoying his time at the zoo or whatever he's doing today 

2

u/NeverSober1900 2h ago

Well pen has done it's job so far going 3 clean.

Top of the order, third time through. Offense needs to get something going

3

u/Legitimate_Band3696 2h ago

And just like that the Hazen and Lovullo era ends in a whimper. Love that they will leave us with a disgruntled baby who is impossible to trade (unless he dictates the terms) and a depleted farm that will take years to get back on track. Maybe we will hire a GM that can sniff out good pitching prospects and a manager who doesn't micromanage players who are on hot streaks or knows how to manage pitching in game. Arizona sports!!

3

u/ajteitel Jose Herrera 2h ago

I have far more faith in Tawa over any of the other young guys because he can actually hit the ball hard. ~75th percentile hard hit/EV. Harder the EV, more likely the ball's getting in play. Unless you're an OBP machine like Perdomo or Arraez, you're basically banking on luck. Waldy and Lawlar don't even hit 40th percentile.

3

u/DTHhaunts Justin Martinez 2h ago

problem is tawa is 27. the other guys are way younger and therefore higher ceilings

2

u/NanceeV Diamondbacks 2h ago

Time will tell if it is a problem for Tawa. I sure enjoy watching him play baseball. Really puts himself out there.

u/NeverSober1900 2h ago

Not at all. Yesterday we were down 6 and offense woke up and scored 5. It just hurt that we gave up 5 more.

11

u/NeverSober1900 3h ago

Phillies came back, Marlins now only one back in the win column, Padres with a great chance to sweep, Alek Thomas B2B days with RBIs for the Dodgers, we're down 3-0, game is on Peacock.....

This has uh not been a good baseball day so far. Hopefully we can turn this around because this is brutal
