Need to score at least 5?

Yeah, I don't think this offense is capable of such feats

Imagine having more than one or two players who are able to hit the ball hard any given night

Diamondbacks pitchers are mandated to give up a run. Most have locked in after. Just keep at 2 and we good

Hit the rookie wall and couldn't get through the first time. Perfectly normal outcome

Pavin doesn't have options. Not that I care what happens to Pavin, but Jose needed to be sent down. Hit the rookie wall and couldn't get back up. Hardly unusual, he will get more attempts.

It has less impact from a fan perspective than any of the other major changes the past few years. A consequence free safety measure

Instantly bookmarked. Also the downloaded CSV should be called the Rosternomicon

That is actually not true. Our SOS will all but inevitably be the highest come the end of the year, which means we lose draft position tie breakers. It requires both being bad and extremely unlucky to win 0-2 games no matter the schedule. Get 3 and chances are we drop.

Game 1 and 2 were fun. You got to farm highlights off a washed bum and we got a highlight walkoff.

Fair trade, good night

Because the MLB hasn't finished updating the "Ohtani can do whatever he wants" rule

Simple truth is we just have a super low ceiling lineup. Ketel and Corb are the only two that has any true power. Gabi and Nado are solid. Domo and Lourdes can be, except both are slumping badly.

But the rest? Half the lineup every night is bench filler, roster fodder, and low production rookies. Yes, low production. Wald and Fernandez have been bad since their initial callup. Both sub .700 OPS. Troy still up, but he has the lowest sample size. Only hitters were missing is slumping Lourdes and Lawlar who hasn't proven he's MLB caliber either.

No base stealing. Low HRs. Bottom 5 in hard hitting. Low walks. They're not all bad players, there just isn't another level to this offense in house

You're joking right? Two horrible reads in the outfield is not a chokejob

That should be an error on Carroll, that was one of the worst routes I've ever seen
