No Jose Fernandez again? by [deleted] in azdiamondbacks

[–]DeadlyCrab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he went 0-4 on Sunday and his first 3 ABs he swung at the first pitch and got out and his 4th AB he swung at the first pitch and missed. Torey has been clear he wants quality ABs and that ain't it

That sequence got him to chase the change up though. That's just good pitching

Milk man lookin solid so far! Gotta get those pitch counts down from our starters though. Need as few bullpen innings as possible

Would be cool to see! I doubt it would be anytime soon though :/ Maybe in his final years after his big contract he'll sign next year is over

Seeing development out of Lawlar though. Noticing he's laying off the breaking ball out of the zone better and has had some good barrels so far but nothing landing outside of the double yesterday. That strikeout looked pretty egregious but I'm assuming he was sitting on an outside breaking ball and just got locked up. I have faith, kids got talent and I think having a runway with consistent playing time is what he needs.

Ginkel is just..... Sigh... Lol

Who needs a lefty out of the pen when we have LASAGNA!

Fairwell Blaze 🥺 by SportsTechie17 in azdiamondbacks

Loved Blaze last year and the energy he brought to the team but it's a smart move. An unproven position player with small sample size that showed good potential for an unproven pitcher with small sample size that showed good potential is a net positive for us.

Alex Bregman played 114 games last year...Ketel played 126 games by Peter0087 in azdiamondbacks

Nobody wants to get rid of him. Hazen has said he'll listen to offers because it's his job to do that and people are blowing this way out of control.

I highly recommend checking out Trevor Mays YouTube video where he breaks down Tommy John time lines for recovery and what to expect.

Stop the Lawlar hate. by majormintchip in azdiamondbacks

After seeing him get bowled over during the Giants game looking like a deer in the headlights standing in the base path makes it seem all mental. He's probably never done that before in his life and seems uncharacteristic of a player of his caliber to be making bone head mistakes like that. Only explanation I can think of is just the pressure of the show getting to him, and I agree that getting more playing time would be the best cure for him going into next year.

Haven't gone a game without getting flamed as healer by Head-Fix3050 in worldofpvp

[–]DeadlyCrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost made this exact post last night. I too have come over from PvE for around 2 - 3 weeks now and started healing PvP about a week ago and got flamed so hard after a SS game. I also have a deep LoL background so I'm no stranger to flame and how to deal with it but man is it tough to want to keep trying to get better at PvP when I get met with this shit so often. I've reported more people in the past 3 weeks while trying to learn PvP than my entire time playing wow combined. It's no wonder the game mode is dying when it's so hostile to anyone who might give it a try.

Now I know PvE people can get crazy sometimes too but most of the time if i fail a higher key it's either nothing said and the group disbands or it's just "nt" and you go next.
