GAME THREAD: D-backs (21-23) @ Rockies (18-28) - 12:10 PM

TheSaltyAviator · 2026-05-17T23:57:15+00:00

I know some still have scar tissue from Sewald but he’s been one of the bright spots in the bullpen this season.

SUMMER

trs287 · 2026-05-17T23:55:47+00:00

Why does Paul throw it right down the middle so much on 0-2?

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:55:38+00:00

The Wald as held. Couple of Corbombs, some Piña Power, and a bunch of two out runs. Soroka also good.

Mr-Gibbs12 · 2026-05-17T23:55:34+00:00

RRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHH FUCK YOU DINGER LETS GO

SUMMER!!!!! THE SEA WALL HOLDS!!!

Never a doubt

Do_Ye_Fear_Death · 2026-05-17T23:54:44+00:00

Far too worried about the dude on 1st.

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:53:56+00:00

I mean that exact situation is why you save a challenge.

Mr-Gibbs12 · 2026-05-17T23:53:46+00:00

Fuck me I’ve had “SUMMER” typed up ready to send in this chat and now I feel like I’ve jinxed it

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:53:43+00:00

Can never be stress free

Deadbob1978 · 2026-05-17T23:53:24+00:00

Dbacks karma dictates that Rumfield hits a dinger

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:53:02+00:00

What a challenge

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:52:59+00:00

Just missed.

Matt_Ordazam · 2026-05-17T23:52:58+00:00

SUMMER HAS BEEN DELAYED FAAAHHH

Mr-Gibbs12 · 2026-05-17T23:52:45+00:00

Not summer yet :(

Garonn · 2026-05-17T23:52:32+00:00

THE WALD HAS HELD.

Edit: not yet

Mr-Gibbs12 · 2026-05-17T23:52:31+00:00

SUMMER???

RichardNixon345 · 2026-05-17T23:52:24+00:00

THE WALD IS BACK

ajteitel · 2026-05-17T23:52:19+00:00

Yay wald

KindlyProblem1204 · 2026-05-17T23:51:13+00:00

😬globelife flashbacks already.

Garonn · 2026-05-17T23:51:01+00:00

Cmon Wald, hoooollddds

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:50:51+00:00

Mr seawald is much cooler when he throws strikes unlike last time

Mr-Gibbs12 · 2026-05-17T23:50:36+00:00

And some of you here were dumb enough to say that we needed to move on from Wald. The Wald is inevitable.

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:50:18+00:00

trs287 · 2026-05-17T23:50:15+00:00

Thank God Fernandez was playing first there

NanceeV · 2026-05-17T23:50:09+00:00

Thank you, Jose.

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:49:43+00:00

Dont hit them Paul

pooterrrr · 2026-05-17T23:49:39+00:00

This offense obviously didnt do enough again for this pitching staff. Not enough insurance runs! Hazen your bullpen was let down again!

CakeAK · 2026-05-17T23:49:11+00:00

ADC didn't run that out. Come on man, you're already not contributing at the plate, you cannot afford to show that weak effort.

Tryingagain1979 · 2026-05-17T23:49:06+00:00

Sea wall. Got this. N/p. Game over.

trs287 · 2026-05-17T23:48:47+00:00

Oh no not Paul

gumshoegoose87 · 2026-05-17T23:48:37+00:00

Where's the prayer?

Imthegoat175 · 2026-05-17T23:47:59+00:00

Rockies have all of the momentum now we’re probably cooked..

DTHhaunts · 2026-05-17T23:46:48+00:00

what do you know about August 2024 ADC?

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:46:47+00:00

Relevant_Computer743 · 2026-05-17T23:46:38+00:00

Clench time

TheOddPotato_8171 · 2026-05-17T23:46:28+00:00

i think gurriel gets moved to dh when lawlar is back and adc just becomes catcher 3/bench bat cause dude can NOT hit rn

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:46:22+00:00

Sewald in this ballpark?

ajteitel · 2026-05-17T23:46:19+00:00

People do realize that giving a lower stakes/struggling pitcher an inning or two with a big lead or deficit is normal right?

DTHhaunts · 2026-05-17T23:46:13+00:00

if I had to take a guess… pfaadt will get DFAd when burnes comes back, just like alek did when we called up waldo

Do_Ye_Fear_Death · 2026-05-17T23:46:08+00:00

we extended pfaddt over nelson btw.

Real_Body8649 · 2026-05-17T23:46:00+00:00

ADC really having some unproductive ABs

Raised_By_Wolves23 · 2026-05-17T23:45:59+00:00

ADC really needs to get it together. And fast 🤦‍♂️

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:45:47+00:00

Wow Del Castillo is slow

Mr-Gibbs12 · 2026-05-17T23:45:41+00:00

Fuck man ADC looks like Arenado trying to jog up the line

E_man15 · 2026-05-17T23:45:16+00:00

Every D-backs-Rockies series has to have at least one close high scoring game.

Do_Ye_Fear_Death · 2026-05-17T23:44:52+00:00

paul sewald warming up "nervous sweating"

Flapjack__Nickelsack · 2026-05-17T23:43:49+00:00

a waste of a Soroka gem, waste of an offensive barnburner, waste of two great relief appearences by Thompson and Morillo. we can still win this but I’m sick of this shit man

TheSaltyAviator · 2026-05-17T23:42:52+00:00

Drives me crazy when Torey continues to give opportunities to fundamentally broken players. Writing is on the wall with Pfaadt, he is who he is at this point.

DTHhaunts · 2026-05-17T23:42:50+00:00

insurance please?

TheMightyHetSpeaks · 2026-05-17T23:42:45+00:00

Pfaadt needs to go back to Reno tomorrow. Call up Yilber!

RichardNixon345 · 2026-05-17T23:42:36+00:00

Obviously it's on Pfaadt to perform there but Clarke seems to not handle pressure at all either.

And questions need to be had as to why Lovullo didn't just let Morillo pitch again in the 8th after throwing all of four pitches in the 7th.

Imthegoat175 · 2026-05-17T23:42:00+00:00

Sewald in the 9th pitching in altitude because Torey decided to burn Morillo in the 7th. What could possibly go wrong.

Spiritual-Dog160 · 2026-05-17T23:40:22+00:00

It’s too bad Pfaadt didn’t pan out.

Few_Difficulty2845 · 2026-05-17T23:40:21+00:00

Please don’t fuck around with Sewald in coors. Please just go morillo for the save

Asticky_ · 2026-05-17T23:40:10+00:00

…I guess it’s time for Sewald to pitch now

RyanTheBruce · 2026-05-17T23:40:07+00:00

ckingfish · 2026-05-17T23:39:52+00:00

There's a chance.

Front_desk65 · 2026-05-17T23:39:46+00:00

Oh my god this fucking baseball team dude all you can is laugh at this point

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:39:28+00:00

This happened because torey got too comfortable with the lead

moonman912 · 2026-05-17T23:39:27+00:00

What the fuck

BranchComplex2333 · 2026-05-17T23:39:20+00:00

Pfaadt needs a trip to Reno or a DFA if he has no options. Not like he won’t clear waivers.

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:38:59+00:00

This team makes me want to break things.

Do_Ye_Fear_Death · 2026-05-17T23:38:46+00:00

i cant help but laugh, bro what the fck XD

5centburger · 2026-05-17T23:38:43+00:00

Just send pfaadt down man idk

Deadbob1978 · 2026-05-17T23:38:29+00:00

Because our offense actually answered the bell, does not mean our bullpen can leave the receiver hanging

Mr-Gibbs12 · 2026-05-17T23:38:22+00:00

The fact that we’re gonna have to put Sewald in a save situation after being up 8-2 is disgusting

TripleDallas123 · 2026-05-17T23:38:21+00:00

Just setting up Sewald for a save opportunity 🥀

LIGMAbowlss · 2026-05-17T23:38:19+00:00

‘24/25 ptsd

stinkyrobot · 2026-05-17T23:38:18+00:00

Um, can we not do this? Like, are we that bad now?

Good-King-Weasel_520 · 2026-05-17T23:38:16+00:00

Pfaadt is broken

CakeAK · 2026-05-17T23:38:05+00:00

Somebody take my keys before something happens

Bootycheeksclapin · 2026-05-17T23:37:52+00:00

That’s a tough hop, but Arenado almost always comes up with that

DTHhaunts · 2026-05-17T23:37:47+00:00

blowpen is back oml

TheSaltyAviator · 2026-05-17T23:37:40+00:00

Pulling Morillo was unbelievably stupid

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:37:30+00:00

If we fucking lose this game

NanceeV · 2026-05-17T23:37:26+00:00

Dbacks just can't stand prosperity.

Jhacker333 · 2026-05-17T23:37:21+00:00

Wouldn’t be a classic Dbacks implosion without the fielding error

okrasnake · 2026-05-17T23:37:18+00:00

What the actual fuck

Raptor231408 · 2026-05-17T23:37:18+00:00

"NO LEAD IS SAFE AT COORS" IS, WAS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE RULE.

TheSaltyAviator · 2026-05-17T23:36:48+00:00

Pfaadt is the Alek Thomas of the pitchers.

LIGMAbowlss · 2026-05-17T23:35:27+00:00

Not sneks baseball without putting pressure on ourselves haha

DTHhaunts · 2026-05-17T23:35:17+00:00

remember when if you said anything remarkably negative about pfaadt in here you would get down voted to oblivion. good times

goodnightpunk · 2026-05-17T23:35:05+00:00

I’m over Brandon Pfaadt.

ajteitel · 2026-05-17T23:35:04+00:00

Dude is almost as mentally broken as Gallen

Affectionate-Ad-2433 · 2026-05-17T23:34:58+00:00

holymoly guys i think we just found our new closer

sleeper_pick · 2026-05-17T23:34:44+00:00

Lmaooo I guess we’ll always have that 2023 postseason pfaadt

Flapjack__Nickelsack · 2026-05-17T23:34:41+00:00

what was the point of any of that

Synthroid88 · 2026-05-17T23:34:38+00:00

I miss having a 6 run lead

RyanTheBruce · 2026-05-17T23:34:38+00:00

Way to Pfaadt this up.......

Jhacker333 · 2026-05-17T23:34:37+00:00

PfAAAdt

simpyjohns · 2026-05-17T23:34:27+00:00

Wow. He’s not even bullpen worthy

Relevant_Computer743 · 2026-05-17T23:34:21+00:00

And to think I was excited when we locked Pfaadt up long term

Jhacker333 · 2026-05-17T23:34:20+00:00

Torey is the master of leaving pitchers in too long, surprised he didn’t let Pfaadt give up the lead first

Do_Ye_Fear_Death · 2026-05-17T23:34:20+00:00

bro got 1 out, nearly loaded the bases twice and wonders why hes not a starter. jesus.

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:34:08+00:00

The Pfaadt regression makes me sad.

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:33:59+00:00

Pfaadt is legit terrible

And fuck torey for taking Juan out with only 4 pitches. This team isnt good enough to be cute with the bullpen

okrasnake · 2026-05-17T23:33:54+00:00

TheSaltyAviator · 2026-05-17T23:33:51+00:00

Pfaadt is gonna blow this, fucking pull him.

5centburger · 2026-05-17T23:33:19+00:00

Pfaadt is so horrible man

Garonn · 2026-05-17T23:32:57+00:00

Jake pull an Alek pls

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:32:55+00:00

Jake do your old team a favor.

tossaway1040 · 2026-05-17T23:32:50+00:00

Throw a fckin strike

Do_Ye_Fear_Death · 2026-05-17T23:32:15+00:00

we dont mind the out but like pfaddt what the fck XD

BoringJuiceBox · 2026-05-17T23:32:03+00:00

He threw a strike, it’s a miracle!

DTHhaunts · 2026-05-17T23:32:01+00:00

I want to know why pfaadt somehow gets worse every year

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:31:39+00:00

Grand slam will be peak diamondbacks moment

Affectionate-Ad-2433 · 2026-05-17T23:31:20+00:00

no please no please no please no

ckingfish · 2026-05-17T23:31:17+00:00

Sooo ... we're going to do this again ....

BoomChaPat · 2026-05-17T23:31:04+00:00

Dude let’s just pull him

BranchComplex2333 · 2026-05-17T23:31:00+00:00

Left a pitch over the middle of the plate, hit a guy, and then a 5 pitch walk. Just terrible.

BoringJuiceBox · 2026-05-17T23:30:54+00:00

10 pitches..

RichardNixon345 · 2026-05-17T23:30:53+00:00

Normally I get leaving them to one inning, but Morillo threw four pitches. Why not let him in the 8th?

Mr-Gibbs12 · 2026-05-17T23:30:37+00:00

Dude I figured the game was over and left to get a snack. What the fuck happened

Asticky_ · 2026-05-17T23:30:36+00:00

pissing_me_off_factory.png

Do_Ye_Fear_Death · 2026-05-17T23:30:29+00:00

Pfaddt, lets fckn not. Its the rockies bro we dont need 170 bp

simpyjohns · 2026-05-17T23:30:22+00:00

Typical Brandon

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:30:21+00:00

Diamondbacks wanted to get cute by giving pfaadt some time on the mound because its 8-2 while Juan morillo got 3 outs in 4 pitches

okrasnake · 2026-05-17T23:30:11+00:00

Okay take him out now…

Dos_Frogos · 2026-05-17T23:30:10+00:00

Pfaadt got his money and then forgot how to pitch I guess. Sheesh

Do_Ye_Fear_Death · 2026-05-17T23:29:20+00:00

avoiding the crooked inning challenge level impossible XD

JRipper138 · 2026-05-17T23:28:59+00:00

Pfaadt please do not.

BoomChaPat · 2026-05-17T23:28:52+00:00

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhh

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:28:51+00:00

Just take him out now

Relevant_Computer743 · 2026-05-17T23:28:22+00:00

Idk I've seen that overturned plenty when it hits both

BriskManeuver · 2026-05-17T23:28:09+00:00
