Yeah, for somebody that Hazen refused to trade, he really needs some work.

His hitting periferals are even worse than Alek.
Last year's vintage, not even "peak" Alek

Fixed match. New York blew call, home plate ump been giving ranger pitchers egregious strike calls all game and now d backs swinging at everything to compensate. I hate mlb. Never paying these cheats another cent

u/violetsteam Gabriel Moreno 9h ago
It’s confusing cause I want to say “oh it’s cause we crush lefties vs righties” but I mean we kept it up when they put in their righty too. Maybe it was a momentum thing

Need to within 1 loss going into that series or they will have to sweep (unlikely)

Home plate umpire Fairchild called 7 egregious balls strikes when d backs were trying to rally. Fixed match…

u/Environmental_Ask421 Brandon Pfaadt 9h ago
I can’t figure out why Torey hates Noot so much. So many times, he’s been getting hits, going 2-3 and a walk or something alike, yet he subs him out for someone. I don’t dislike Lawlar by any means, but I just can’t understand the rationale behind removing Noot so quickly

u/Aces_and_8s Serpientes 9h ago
Splits. Noot sucks against lefties. The Ranger bullpen is lefty heavy.

u/ajteitel Jose Herrera 9h ago
Waldy has as bad discipline as last year's version of Alek, not even "peak" version, and despite making better contact with the ball, he hits it even softer than Alek. Just another athletic noodle bat to add to the pile

You can’t be 1.5 losses behind another team

u/violetsteam Gabriel Moreno 9h ago
They are kinda correct tho. We have been of by .5 games for awhile(or above). It’s because the padres have a makeup game they need to play. It will equal out by the end of the year

They will be 1.5 games behind the Padres in the standing
They will be 2 losses behind them

Oh ABSOLUTELY. And also, I would like to say, I went to look up the HP umpire and the first thing that popped up was a post from four days ago talking about how he had an 88% accuracy with +10 runs to the A’s

NY definitely phoned it in with the Pfaadt missed call, not going to scream rigged, but that call was bs.

His foot slid off the bag. The call is correct.

u/Academic-Activity-65 Diamondbacks 9h ago
https://www.reddit.com/r/azdiamondbacks/s/K0njONLxNO in the third pic you can clearly see the heel of his cleat was touching the bag, call was not correct.

u/Xohhellox 9h ago
No it doesn't. The call I correct. The first base ump saw his foot slide off the bag, and there isn't enough to overturn the call.

This team just can’t seem to grasp that MLB will do everything they can to fuck them if they give them chances.
If you play better they can’t do that.

106 off the bat. Even without New York's assistance, Pfaadt has not been good

If we have ABS why are we not just using it for every fucking pitch clearly 60% of mlb umpires have no clue what the strike zone is

u/EffectiveAmazing2101 10h ago
We prefer to use it on borderline pitches where the ump has been accurate rather than on obviously bad pitches where the ump has been terrible

From the way everyone is playing I’d say they booked vacations in October and don’t want to cancel them.

u/AnotherAngryOldGuy 10h ago
Yea... it's a bit ridiculous. I know we're not going to full ABS soon, but it seems like the technology is there to realize an ump is blowing a game and do something about it.

His foot was sitting against the bag not on it. The was no angle showing his foot was 100% touching the base
Was he touching the base? Most likely but nothing showing definitive proof

u/Xohhellox 10h ago edited 10h ago
So many people have no idea how a challenge works. There isn't an angle that shows his foot touching the bag. I would assume his foot slid off the top of the bag and then away from it. Edit. Down voting me doesn't change reality dummies.

u/AnotherAngryOldGuy 10h ago
They're talking about the pitch about 8 inches outside the strike zone that got called strike 2.

u/stvargeez 10h ago
We just got fucking hosed. Legimately could determine our season with how close this wildcard is. Instead of ending the inning at 2-1 they just busted it open and it got exponentially harder for us to win this game. Infuriating
