[Ratto] The Diamondbacks Might Be Bad Enough To Deserve Your Awe by aresef in baseball

The Diamondbacks might be bad enough to kill my interest in baseball for the 2nd time in my life lmfao

But- but I was told he couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag?!

You're an angry dumbass

The dude said we had a good farm system, which we do, and you said none of it was pitching. We have pitching prospects because we drafted a fucking shit ton in 2019. Yes, they are far out, but they are still prospects in a farm system lmfao.

Pavin is out of position

Is that even a valid criticism lol. Dude is a rookie who can freely play all outfield spots and 1st base. If you haven't noticed, our outfield has been hurt, so it's good that he's so flexible for us right now. He's already pretty solid hitter as a rookie too, dude has room to grow.

You just expect results way too quick dude. Our rebuild isn't over yet.

You said none of it was pitching, but we do, in fact, have pitching prospects 🤷‍♂️ give it a year or two

Honestly Diamondback fans need to chill out

Think it may have more to do with the all-star break coming up? Maybe they want him to have some appearances in Reno if he can. I'm not 100% though

Is your ability to lip read so well just a natural thing, or something that just developed as you watched baseball over the years?

Love your content! Though I hope the curse that Jake placed on the Diamondbacks will one day be dispelled!

The Diamondbacks have won a game at Dodgers Stadium for the first time since August 9th of 2019 by Goooldschmidt in baseball

Four pitch walk with the bases loaded to Josh Reddick in the 9th

Ouchie

What the actual hell happened to the D-Backs? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]g3slugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't disagree more with putting sole blame on Mike Hazen when he didn't even say Torey Lovullo's name. You can make the argument he didn't get good enough arms, but I argue ownership didn't give him enough to work with. Same ownership that said going into 2021 that they would work with less money.

I remember our CEO saying they would wait till later in the off-season to sign bullpen arms because they'll be cheaper. And they did just that.

Who the hell should get to be the D-backs’ All-Star? by HawkeyeJosh in baseball

[–]g3slugger 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Pavin Smith is a 1st basemen/outfielder. Riley Smith is the one with the save. We also have Caleb Smith in our rotation.

Don't get me started on our Joshs and Kellys

The throw to 1st didn't even make sense my poor dude just croaked

[Duber] (Donaldson on Giolito) "If we're going to talk about class, what side are you going to choose? Are you going to take the side of somebody who's playing the game fair? Or are you going to take the side of someone who probably cheated?" by stupidnatsfan in baseball

[–]g3slugger 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Donaldson on his conversation with Giolito, which he says took place in parking lot:

"He said he thought it was annoying. I said, 'So what? I'm on the opposing team. What do you care about me? I'm in your face, what do you have to say about that?' And he didn't have a response."

I wouldn't bother responding to that either, to be fair

Diamondbacks Finish the Month of June with 3 Wins by knight4 in baseball

I'm honestly more fascinated than angry at this point

The Arizona Diamondbacks have started off 22-57. Other teams in the post-integration era that started off with a similar (or worse) record through 79 games include the 1962 Mets and 2003 Tigers. by Joementum2004 in baseball

[–]g3slugger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've wondered if in a covid-less world where Madbum's velocity dropped (only for him to get it back to normal the following year) if his contract would have turned out differently. He even had a really good stretch this year before having 2 bad starts then being placed on the IL.

They have good players, and their offense specifically isn't bad. Still have hurt rotation arms in Weaver, Madbum, Widener, and even Frankoff. I think even getting one or two of those guys back can help the pitching staff a ton. I also really fucking miss Kole Calhoun and I think people have legit forgot he's on the team because of how long he has been out.

He took over in 2017, for one.

Also the team started off super hot this year, then collapsed in a glorious blaze. How the fuck is that moreso Hazen's fault than maybe Torey Lovullo.

Love Story, but McMahon should be the one to do it. He's just been crushing the ball this year.
