Arizona Diamondbacks @ SD Padres series thread. 07/05/07-07/07/24

Diamondbacks lose 10-8 as Sewald gives up 2 homers in the bottom of the 9th.

Sewald is blowing chunks now after two blown saves in less than a week. His confidence has to be in the toilet after this past week. If there is another save opportunity in this series, Lovullo should try another arm. If Sewald blew three in a row, he'd be done for the season mentally.

Sewald has been a little lucky since coming back, there has been a lot of warning track balls lately. I'm cool with moving him, he does not have closer stuff IMO. The blown save in WS game 1 was the dagger last year. Dude has blown 2 must wins on this road trip.... I always wondered why Seattle dumped him last year..... now I know

It's not over until it's over.

It's over. Sewald was already reeling from his last blown save. Serving up meatballs in the bottom of the 9th to the Padres didn't help. Definitely the most brutal loss of the year, and there have been a lot of them.

Hey Thompson when you have 0- 2 count on the guy don’t frigging groove one, high school 101 pitching. The ump has been calling strikes 3 inches off the plate all night. Throw it there, throw it there twice. Inexcusable

Gotta close this biznitch out tonight.

This bullpen blows

DBacks somehow pull it out 7-5. I ran out of my heart medication today but I couldn't stop watching it. Great win but we have a long way to go.

how is it any different than the last 50 years? Back when newspapers were still a thing, at least on Coronado the SD Tribune literally had a page dedicated to AZ Sports in the sports section in the summer for all of us "zoners" that were over when its 110+ in Phx. Notice how dead the freeways are in July? Now with the remote work so common, if you have friends or family living over there, might as well stay the month

Hey Boyz! Score a few more runs in the top of the 9th so that the genius Lovullo doesn't let Sewald pitch in the bottom of the 9th.

Yes! Sometimes dreams do come true. Series win and back to .500!

DBacks are the epitome of a .500 team right now. 45-45 W-L record, 435 runs scored, 435 runs against, 1 game over .500 at home, 1 game under .500 on road. Let's hope the post-All Star Break DBacks are well over .500!
