    He’s actually been slightly better than decent in his most recent starts. He missed all of Spring Training, so I imagine Torey is trying to give him the chance to work his way into form, which, looking at his last 3-4 starts, might be happening.

    Dbacks New Top 20

    Bummed to see Walton struggle like this. But I still believe that if he can find his control and dramatically cut down on walks, he can be productive at the major league level.

    Sweeping Cleveland and the taking 3 of 4 from the Phillies was not expected. What would be expected is to sweep the Rockies. That’s asking a lot coming off of these past 7 games… however, the schedule doesn’t get any easier with the 9 game eastcoast roadie coming right after this series. It...

    Thomas just doesn’t look right… I’m beginning to wonder if he really isn’t 100%…. Maybe came back too soon. His body language is terrible.

    This team is very special. If they can somehow stay healthy, which seems extraordinarily difficult for these guys (it was Gurriel’s turn to exit the game today), we should see another long post season run!

    True… Most importantly though, let’s hope Marte is back soon at 100%!

    Interesting to see McCarthy in RF over Carroll… Thomas in CF stands out I guess as Alek has been even worse than Carroll at the plate as of late. But Thomas is so damn good defensively, his weak arm notwithstanding…

    Our pen was big time clutch tonight! 4 2/3rd. No hits! No runs. 4 K’s and a walk!

    I’ll grant you their GM’s might be comparable to Hazen, but not gonna go there with the Manager. I’ll take Torey.

    I know some will think I’m crazy, but I said this last season and I feel even more strongly today. The Dbacks have the BEST GM / Manager combo in MLB! And I’m not even sure there’s a close second.

    Perhaps Torey saw Lourdes finding his groove in BP or in preceding games… I’ll got with that. ;)

    Seems to have worked out pretty freakin well! :D

    Seems to have seriously killed the team tonight! :D

    He’s easily the most underrated manager in the game today.

    Wheeler is so damn good. Geno and Newman in particular are gonna have their hands full at the plate tonight.

    But that isn’t true since July 1st.

    Bottom line, a 71% Save % is pretty damn respectable. My original post referenced the variety of dudes we have that are solid to better than solid MLB pitchers, but none of them have ever been asked to be a full time closer, other than Puk for a brief window of time in 2023. Sewald is our...

    From what found, they have a 71% save % since July 1st.

    I went back to July 1st. From what I see, the Dbacks are 12 of 17 = 71% save percentage between then and now. I’ll take that, especially given the fact that Seward went missing over that time!

    So 4 blown save in how many save opportunities? And, as I said in my original post, Torey is trying to manage through a period when his actual closer is battling a slump. Each of those 4 blown saves are courtesy of a guy who all things considered, has been solid to very solid in their own...
