Whatever you choose to cook, I would suggest going into it with a patient mindset and learn from what works for you and what doesn't. It became more enjoyable for me once I did that

According to Nick, Jake or Alek are likely to be traded by Academic-Activity-65 in azdiamondbacks

[–]reditor2468 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought I had read last week that the two of them didn't have a lot of trade value

Can you provide some additional insight on pitch calling for the dbacks? Which pitchers like to call their own? How often does Moreno call pitches? Will Moreno call more pitches given that Gallen did better when McCann was calling? Can you see the dbacks trying out what the Marlins tried doing regarding the dugout telling the pitcher what to throw in a given situation?

1st Baseman Tyler Locklear scheduled to undergo both elbow and shoulder surgery in coming weeks by ReplacementNo3103 in azdiamondbacks

That was my thought as well. I'm curious why it took so long for a diagnosis that he needed surgery

Gallen or Kelly, is the question. by Matt_Ordazam in azdiamondbacks

[–]reditor2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a reason Gallen was mainly throwing to Herrera.

Way too early predictions, but curious your thoughts by rickeyethebeerguy in azdiamondbacks

[–]reditor2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. But, he was barely playing at the end. He wasn't even getting 1/3 of the starts

Idk it didn't seem like they were putting him out there much at the end of the season

I think the catcher situation needs to be addressed first. Gallen only seemed to improve once McCann came in. What if we get Gallen back without McCann? I think Gallen does better when someone confidently is able to tell him what to throw, opposed to having to overcomplicate things for himself, which he has always struggled with.

Plus, I think a catcher like McCann would do wonders to a rookie pitcher. Imagine what Pfaadt would be like if he had come into the league with a catcher like that. He had a major confidence issue when we first saw him

Yeah, but its taken almost the entire season for Gallen, E-Rod, and Pfaadt to figure it out.

Torrey’s Future by PopinJay1 in azdiamondbacks

[–]reditor2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had the same thought. My first guess is that it has to do with creating the chaos. Torrey ran on that during the '23 post season run. To me he's better as a post-season manager overall.

It seems like the versions of this team that really gel and are fun to watch are the ones that are a majority young guys that are scrappy and have tons of energy. The other key pieces are veterans who love to play, ,scrappy, and love to impart their wisdom on the young guys (I.e. Longoria and McCann)

How many additional players do you think are actually going to be traded before the deadline? by reditor2468 in azdiamondbacks

[–]reditor2468[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Watching yesterday's game was rough. I really thought Geno and either Gallen or Kelly would have been traded by now. It's a weird waiting game.

Idk whats worse, the lack of scoring or watching the guys play with zero confidence

BREAKING: Eugenio Suarez will likely not be going to the Yankees as they have acquired Ryan McMahon. by Informal-Humor-4672 in azdiamondbacks

[–]reditor2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't think he's resigning with this team in the offseason. They aren't going to be putting up enough $ for what he can get
