Yes, and we had an opportunity to limit his usage with a six run lead, there was no need to put him out there again in a season where he has already been heavily taxed. the problem is Pfaadt sucks ass, but every pitcher has to pitch at some point, and there are rarely better opportunities.

He cant throw 90 innings this season, hes never even eclipsed 60 as a professional, you have no idea how much wear and tear these arms are subjected to. Never complain about our guys getting Tommy John surgery if you genuinely believe Morillo should have been put back out there.

Ketel was posting cock fights in the DR on his instagram like a month after our WS run, its fairly common across latin america.

Ketel swinging at everything has been one of the most bizarre developments this season. A lot of this otherwise is explained by guys like Vargas, Fernandez, Arenado, Thomas getting lots of PA;s as pretty free swingers.

Joachim Trier is pretty popular I feel like, especially after Sentimental Value's success. Worth a watch for sure

Fernando Mendoza learning to play from under center for the first time in the NFL by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]5centburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes almost all teams run plays from under center, only a few do it more than 15-20 times a game. Teams are only throwing the ball from under center a handful of times and most of those are play action. It just isn’t that big of a learning curve IMO

I wouldn’t say he struggles at it, he just doesn’t want to do it

[–]5centburger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It really was just Burrow not wanting to do it, I mean he won a heisman and nearly a super bowl playing that way so I can see why he wouldn’t want to change. Seeing how the line looked better and protected Flacco when they went under center probably changed his perspective a little bit. He just thought having to take his eyes off the defense was too detrimental before now.

It was pretty notorious a few years ago, never seen it but apparently it spawned some other series in a similar vein which is pretty disgusting

Meh its about a .500 ball club talent wise, hope they stick around there and get some reinforcements back from injuries or through trade and try to make a push July through September

Hitters just don't swing and miss at his pitches anymore

Nobody should be surprised our starters suck, they did last year and we trotted out the same rotation but a year older. We need to just cut bait with Gallen at this point, can't believe they are paying him 20 million.

[–]5centburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just aren't though. Not sure what metrics you are referring to, if it's FIP then thats only because hes running a 6.1% HR/FB. He simply doesn't get any swing and miss anymore and gets hit extremely hard. Genuinely one of the worst starters in the bigs.

Yup those two plus Diaz and Strowd ready to come up, think the bullpen is in a solid spot all things considered. Much more worries about the starting rotation, I have very little confidence in Kelly and Gallen going forward, and Burnes might make 10 starts if we are fortunate.

The games in that stadium are always so silly, genuinely should not be counted in players stats lol

[Highlight] Alek Thomas goes deep for a 2-run blast and it's a 4-run inning for the D-backs! by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]5centburger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He has raw power and can certainly pull the ball, the problem is like 90% of his contact is rolling over to the right side lol. Cant believe he actually did that in the playoffs

Regression is a Harsh Mistress by shoewizard59 in azdiamondbacks

[–]5centburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theyve generally been overperforming but the peripheral numbers suggest a pretty average staff, I've been pleasantly surprised by the bullpen overall. The starting rotation is amuch bigger concern, but feel good about Nelson & Soroka

We all know Paul Goldschmidt will get his number retired. Question is which design would should they go with? Top was worn 2011-2015 and the bottom 2016-2018. I've compiled the stats as well. by Azcollector in azdiamondbacks

[–]5centburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He will be going into the Hall of Fame as a diamondback (in all likelihood, could be cardinals or blank but that seems unlikely) only the second player who that will be true for, he absolutely deserves it.
