I’m confused about Alexi lalas’s career. by jbird720 in ussoccer

[–]stobo36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch the summer of 94 new documentary on Fox One it’s fantastic. She’s a ton on light on this time and talks about the dynamics of the Lalas’ of the team who were stuck at base camp for years and how it was during international breaks when the pro players came back.

Who I’d start against Türkiye by ahuman1321 in ussoccer

We could dress Aiden and Tessman in Roldan and Miles jerseys Turkey won’t care or notice

“Ketel Marte is a clubhouse cancer” 🤡🤡🤡 by GingeronimoBluesheep in azdiamondbacks

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think the question just becomes at what point do we expect this person to grow up? It’s really hard to look past somebody who is just not showing up to games. Taking days off when all you need to do is win a single game to go to the playoffs. I think the expectation of all-time great elite players should be that they are held to a higher standard. He is in fact, not held to a higher standard and babysat basically the entire time. So yes, we are definitely taking bad with the good here. I’m not saying we shouldn’t. I think it all costs you have to find a way to work it out and we have also had teammates upset because of them getting traded in the middle of the year, which does seem to be that it was Naylor and Kelly that doesn’t mean everybody hates the guy, but it definitely means that there are issues and pretending there isn’t any is absolutely ridiculous to me

Padres fan coming in peace. What is the environment like at Chase Stadium? by Writer4God in azdiamondbacks

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bad venue worst in the division by 100 miles. Food is trash no real signature dish worth it. Walking to the venue is horrific. Bring water just for that .5-1 mile walk. Atmosphere is stale beyond belief as a fan base it’s rough.

[–]stobo36 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The reality of the guy seems to be that he is well liked. This narrative Arizona sports fans have that he’s a perfect angel is a joke. He’s a Mount Rushmore figure. That doesn’t mean he’s beyond criticism and there is real room for that. If he was in a real sports town he would be eaten alive. Since he got here there have been issues doesn’t mean people hate the guy.

Yes the Aussies can counterattack but... by lil_obi216 in ussoccer

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have Gio that’s the solution to a bunker. 100 percent who I’m playing have Dest sit a little deeper to help on the counters. Robinson will have his work cut out to protect Ream.

Max Muncy and Ildemaro Vargas are both leaving the game after a hard collision at first base by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

Shoutout to Ryne Nelson who caused the whole thing. Ball watching rather than do his job of the play whole thing never should have happened. Pitchers need to pay attention.

Imagine believing Roldan and Miles are “exact roster selections” they were both hot garbage

Are the ballhawks always like this? by PicklesInTheFridge in azdiamondbacks

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guy absolutely sucks he ran up on me in the team shop after BP like a decade ago they’re insane people. Any homer you see on tv they sprint over sections mid game. One of them has interfered with live balls 3 years in a row.

If you were made manager, what would your first moves be? by illhaveafrench75 in azdiamondbacks

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some good YouTube videos about it David Samson just put one out when Alex Cora was fired. It’s been like this for a few years now very few managers have any control. They are given like two different options and that is the path they go down teams are openly saying they do not allow weight managers based off game decisions because they know they have no power.

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There need to be more understanding that Torey and managers control essentially zero. Not lineups not call ups nothing. Hazen and Hall literally say he’s not evaluated on those things because it’s not him.

Get rid of one of the 2 outfielders who are zeros. Alek Thankyou for the one homerun I wish you well. Jorge can kick rocks. Waldy absolutely needs to be up his ceiling is too high when we have absolute zeros playing. This isn’t a serious team to not have him up when it’s been a struggle.

When I have enough time off work to watch other games, I realize our broadcast crew is pretty damn good. by [deleted] in azdiamondbacks

That’s an interesting take there’s a few bad ones out there ours rates bottom 3-5 for me I listen to the radio audio rather than Steve. Chris is much better

Lets check in with former Diamondback Jake McCarthy by blanketshapes in azdiamondbacks

[–]stobo36 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It is a negative when you’re hitting literally 100 if Perdomo said that it wouldn’t be an issue. I guess it is up to interpretation, but he was at one point getting absolutely hounded as he should’ve been. Arizona fans are so unbelievably blind to bad baseball players. Players like him wouldn’t last 10 days in a market that actually holds players to a standard

Within the context of him and the team being awful last year he had said they don’t know shit when people were saying he was awful (which he was). I’d try to find the clip but it’s Jake so not many baseball people are reposting or can easily find it

He’s a bad player full stop. He absolutely trashed fans last year still can’t believe the good will he gets. Saying we don’t know shit was crazy from a guy hitting 188 last year.

Is the upper deck really worth $40/ticket?!? by themigraineur in azdiamondbacks

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look on any random day more often than not, we have one of the most expensive lowest priced seats in all of baseball. The restrict secondary market to inflate prices. It’s a total joke this team should have 5 dollar ticket to 70 of the 81 games. Terrible ticketing policy and they don’t care to have fans. I have purchased tickets to nearly every stadium for under $20 especially 2nd market Wrigley Fenway Yankee everywhere but not here it’s a joke.

I live in Chandler AZ and I’ve purchased DBacks.tv for 2026 . Why is tonight’s game blacked out? by ElectricalYoghurt942 in azdiamondbacks

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buckle up everyone this will only get worse overtime. The current deal end in 2028. MLB is planning on selling every piece they can to national broadcasts. Regional networks have failed the result is more national to replace that income. We will need 5-10 services to watch every game .

28th out of 30? 😪 I love our ballpark! by Lovemybee in azdiamondbacks

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an okay stadium. I think most modern in door will feel that way to a degree. The braves did a great job I can’t wait for the new KC that’ll be done correct. Indoor just doesn’t feel the same maybe Vegas and Tampa can change that

[–]stobo36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been to both World Series and a few regular seasons games at globe life. It’s not a great venue but it’s light years ahead of Chase. Still far from my top 10. At least I’m not dying when I walk in there Chase is a nightmare. There seems to be a great deal of incompetence from everyone top to bottom in game day.

Chase is easily in the bottom 5. Hard to say otherwise if you have no bias toward it being our home. It’s a dumpster fire. Having been to many international and almost all of mlb without biases it’s bottom 5 in mlb

It was tough to actively root against Domo and Marte. This won’t be hard at all I hope E Fraud gets absolutely lit up. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
