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

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

It was generic. Nothing special.

I have a acquaintance from a college football board who is a huge Yankee fan and he happened to be at that game so we met up he said we had to go to the Yankee Stadium - the site where the old one sits that is now a recreational baseball field

We stranded so many batters last night, I really wasn't fully comfortable until we stretched the lead out. But yeah, it was a very fun game to watch against a team we've fared so poorly against in the past.

Leaving many stranded has caused many of our losses. But we came through.

Will need another big day from the offense with Zac "Milk Jug" Gallen on the hill. His arm has been deader than a door nail lately and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. DBacks will need lots of hits and lots of runs today.

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.

And it doesn’t look like it. he’s nibbling too much instead of challenging batter at this rate, he’ll be lucky to last four innings


If he’s unwilling to be coached, then there’s no reason to resign him

 

[Dback Jon]

Suarez with a two-run double

Gallen is lucky Boston isn't capitalizing in his walks, yet.

What was that?

 

[82CardsGrad]

Gallen is lucky Boston isn't capitalizing in his walks, yet.

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

Lotta hit batters lately. I know I said we got to get these wins, but @Chris_Sanders might’ve been right the other day when he said we need to drill their best player. Enough is enough

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… it happens.
But if a Dback gets hit simply because the pitcher intentionally went after him, Torey will gladly reciprocate.

Can anyone explain to me why the Red Sox are wearing yellow and blue uniforms?

Oh I agree and I’m a big believer in Torrey’s perspective. He would never try to hurt a player under any circumstance especially his own. But at some point you gotta let the opposing team know that crap won’t slide.

 

[outcent13]

We are lucky Gino and Corbin aren’t out along with the others

 

[Dback Jon]

Gallen looked much better after the 1st

6 innings of 2-hit ball

 

[Dback Jon]

Four walks for the Dbacks in this inning so far


Should have been 5 but the blue bailed the Sox out

 

[Dback Jon]

Wild pitch scores another run

 

[Dback Jon]

4-0 heading to bottom of 7

 

[Gambler]

Joc did not look like himself on that last at bat.

 

[Dback Jon]

What a play by Luis!

 

[outcent13]

Holy cow that was one of the best plays I’ve seen. Full extension, throw from his a$$ and gets the out. Wild

 

[Dback Jon]

This blue is awful

 

[Dback Jon]

This blue is awful

Gives Boston a walk that should have been a K

 

[Dback Jon]

The play
