It’s interesting that it sure appears as though Wells is the starting catcher, right? Just barely, but he’s started three of the five games.
It sure would be nice if Luis Gil was a good pitcher.
How about those Pittsburgh Pirates.
We all know how this ends, IOW, badly. The ‘Mighty Diamondbacks’ will not bear losing to a team in a 2024 ‘Season of Gloom’.
MIke Trout with 2 HRs, one went 473 feet. Is he back?
gil day, hooray
Wasn’t Gil Day an elf in The Lord of the Rings?
anyway
No, I don’t think any character in LOTR was named ‘anyway’.
Oof! Verdugo.
🙁
Verdugo sure, uh. Sure sucks, don’t he?
It would be nice if Verdugo could get a clutch hit at some point.
Also, why the fuck isn’t he batting behind Volpe by this point?
If Volpe’s plate discipline lasts into May (unlike last year), then he could bat leadoff.
marte just strikeout already
ok slider time
Strike 3 ump
woof
On my EXump+ that’s two strikeouts for Gil.
woof x2
Keeping it 100
TIL Ryan Ruocco calls NCAA Women’s basketball
mans gotta eat
He’s the main women’s basketball announcer (NCAA and WNBA). It’s basically the Mike Breen path. Just do EVERYthing until you get a prestige gig.
He did it last year also.
I like PHENOM better than phenom
Verdugo can bat 9th from now on.
I really want to say I told you so, but I’m not going to put in the effort to find the “as bad as things are, they can certainly get lucky and kick ass in the tough opening of the season.” Maybe later.
Anyway, this is fun. It really looks like there’s more of the team NOT hitting that should than hitting that shouldn’t.
Ronel Blanco of 66.1 career innings at age 30 just no-hit the Jays for the Astros
I’m not sure Gil is good but he’s got the results so far
4 seamers looks elite, changeup good, slider meh. control not bad
Yanks are beating this dude like a redheaded stepchild
Why is EVERYTHING with you about your seething hatred of the Irish?
I hate to conceal my love
home run javy Vazquez
doh?
Volpe’s on a heater
Seems like an early hook
Unless he’s hurt that makes no sense, denying him a chance at the W.
He’s coming off of TJ – on a pitch count
I didn’t like Boone pulling Gil with one out before he completed the 5th inning… would have been nice for him to get the win.
Then the guy who replaces him promptly gives up a hit…. Diamondbacks are about to score 5 because of Boone….
Gil could’ve gotten one more out.
I worry about what will happen with the team after Matt Blake assumes into Heaven for what he has done to all of these pitchers. It probably won’t be good for the team.
He sure has made a difference. The only aberration has really been Montgomery, but I’m not sure if that was prior to Blake really coming into power…
Judge is cooked
JOE MANTIPLY SIGHTING
Boone absolutely pissed this one away. Lifted Gil too early, stuck with Weaver too long.
The last name of Weaver has a long and infamous history with The Yankees.
Why is Weaver still in there? Actually, why is he a Yankee at all?
The questions everyone wants answered
This is a fine fettle of kish.
Taking Gil out was fine, he’s on a pitch count, I’m sure, sticking with Weaver is what confuses me.
That was very Yankees-like by the Mighty Diamondbacks.
If Volpe keeps this up all season he might have a chance at being a pretty good player
Volpe tested positive for a Balance of Nature/Prevagen cocktail.
Hypothetically, if a pitcher were to stash a little Spider Tack in the neighborhood of the ol’ taintarooski, and was just shameless about digging in there between pitches, would the umps dare to search him?
I ask because I think I might know how to fix Holmes.
“Ol’ Taintarooski” would be a good old-timey nickname for Holmes
How is Gonzalez the closer tonight?
Well well well
Jesus, how tiny is Volpe? Meredith looks like the Juggernaut next to him. Or maybe that’s just because she’s wearing red. And is invulnerable.
Meredith is pretty tall, wasn’t she like a D1 softball player? And also is actually a superhero with superpowers
I’m getting sick of people bagging on juggernaut.
Yay win!
Quite impressed that this team is keeping pace with the legendary 1992 squad.
The best road start ever was the 1984 Tigers who went 17-0. I think that’s well within reach
just a contact hitter making contact.
