    Arizona Diamondbacks @ Boston Red Sox Series thread. 08/23/24-08/25/24

    Apparently there were several that traveled from Phoenix to Boston. Which, given it’s August…Boston ain’t a bad place to be right now!

    Again… 2 of the walks were to Devers. Totally appropriate.

    Nobody could’ve predicted Sewald’s collapse… He was one of the biggest keys to our World Series run last year. Not much we can do but play the hand we have now… gotta hope the “Closer by Committee” can carry us deep into the post season. J-Mart, Puk and Ginkel will likely be leaned on in the...

    Torey isn’t shy about beaning a batter when it’s called for. It’s never the right choice to hit batters just because a Dback got hit. Getting hit at the plate is part of the game. MLB pitchers are incredibly accurate, but they’re not robots. Every now & then, a pitcher will lose control…...

    Two of those walks are to Devers… I’m cool with that.

    Actually, Zac’s arm is totally fine… which is all the more frustrating. Apparently, Zac is unwilling to change his approach, mix and location of pitches… we’ll see if he agrees to make any adjustments today.

    I’m not much of a fan of the new stadium… feels more like a museum to me. How’d you guys like it?

    As a life-long Yankee fan (grew up 25 mins away from Yankee Stadium), a Boston beat-down NEVER gets old!!!

    It’s a testament to the incredible effectiveness of the Hazen-Lovullo combination. Hazen doesn’t have the $$ afforded to GM’s of the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Philly, Padres, etc… yet, he has routinely provided competitive talent via the farm and free agent signings. And Torey has been...

    Not with our starting pitching and bullpen so inconsistent and injured… toss in Walker and Marte’s injuries, it’s a miracle we’re where we are right now!

    We can only imagine where this team would be if only Torey was gone! :rolleyes:

    HUGE...as in MASSIVE game for Nelson tonight. With the Dbacks decision to drop Montgomery to the pen, Nelson needs to affirm that decision tonight!

    Dbacks’ injuries

    C'mon man... Avoidable? Like not having them play? Injuries happen...unless your sitting on the bench.

    Martinez can be league-leading dominant… The Dbacks need to find the way to get him and KEEP him in a proper mindset.

    Offense is sleep-walking… ADC doing his thing, but that’s it. Not good timing for the offense to hit the skids, especially with Marte gone.

    Our offense is sputtering. It happens. Gotta hope it corrects itself ASAP!

    The 2024 Dbacks pitching

    I think Gallen is just about on par with Pfaadt - talent wise. But for some reason, Zac’s been struggling mightily and I think it’s almost entirely about his mental approach. Physically… velocity… ball movement… pitch arsenal… It’s all still there. But there is something way off in that...

    They got out-hit 13 to 5 and didn’t have a single error in the game. Not sure how their defense cost them the game?

    Meanwhile the Padres go to Denver for a 3 games, and then head home for an extended 10-game road homestand!

    Important sweep as our boys now head east for a grinding 9 game roadie...I guess the bigger issue is - will the Padres ever lose a game? Geeeeeeeeeeeeez!
