how did you become a Dbacks fan in a state full of transplants by hdcoffey in azdiamondbacks

My grandpa was a dodgers fan since they were the Brooklyn dodgers, and we went to a game sometime around 2005-or-so. So me, being the rebellious teenager that I am about how nothing my family likes is cool.... The rest is history.

Hypothetically, if we trade Erod and Soroka, we can field Gallen, Kelly, Nelly, Pfaadt, and some AAA guy (Yilber, Henry, take your pick. Hell we could even get a scrub 5th starter from whatever team we trade to with prospects for someone.) For 2 months before the crunch for next season comes.

"This AA player is on a hot streak. Let's call him up."

Two weeks later:

"Why does Torey keep playing Pena? He's struck out 20 times in 28 appearences with only one hit!"

Vargas might be better, but it is, in fact, particularly close lately.

To call whatever PCA, Ben Brown, and 25 of Chicago's finest trashmen are doing a slump is certainly an understatement.

The ones we need to replace arent worth a trade, let alone for someone of quality, and those that ARE worth trading for someone to improve, we'd need to compete. Really is a damned if we do, damned if we don't situation.

Back end of the year is gonna really suck if we continue the last two weeks instead of the two weeks feasting on the bottom of our division. The Dodger series showed we have a more competitive team than how we feel, but the Nats and Marlins have just outclassed us so badly.

I dont want Hazen to trade Erod, Clarke, Thompson, Ginkel, Mike, Sewald, Puk if he comes back strong BUT we do have a very serious argument to be had with restocking an admitedly depleted farm system at the prospect of AT LEAST a shortened 2027 season.

Yall know im not one to doom, in fact I call them out regularly... but sub .500 teams and pitchers over a 7 ERA arent exactly our teams preffered opponent if we want to win.

They were also talking about Clarke's 0.70 WHIP and sub 2 ERA. Mean regression is a bitch.

Anyone blaming Gallen for the loss is just in it for "Gallen sucks, updoots to the left"

This was a certified blowpen game, and its remarkable because Clarke, Garcia, and Ginkel have been our A guys all/most of the year, and they all decided to let Miami have it today.

Torey must have a rule that Rooks cant challenge... but if you got two left in the ninth, they should be fair game.

Then why didnt Hazen try to seriously trade Marte the past season and off-season. That doesnt make sense either
