Dbacks at Giants Series Thread

[AZ Native]

I look at all the moves and not just hate the bad moves and ignore the good ones. I did not like all the moves. Some people cannot differentiate. They see only hate.

BOOM! Do it AJ!

 

[unseenaz]

The bad moves greatly outweighed the good ones. By a lot.

BTW - I'm watching on SF's broadcast.

I would like to thank them for putting my 16-month-old to sleep.

Boring.

Yea, reed always worries me when he is out there. His slider was so flat tonight and he missed a bunch of pitches over the middle of the plate

Yeah agree. Nothing has changed from last year. Pathetic

Fine... I feel like most are doing that. I've mentioned the Goldy extension in other threads, it was a good move. The Aaron Hill trade was a good move. But you'd hope that in 3 years he'd have at least a couple moves that were not complete train wrecks.

And it was one thing to make some bad moves here and there, but Towers did idiotic moves, that then immediately created a serious flaw in the roster, which would be countered by another idiotic move, which did little to fix the original problem but created a new one.

The easiest example without going into the details... he makes a series of moves 2 years ago, done in the effort to fill a perceived hole at 3rd and at short, he decides to deal away what he felt was a surplus of outfielders and good pitchers. A year later the Dbacks are spending money and making trades to fill what is now a serious hole in the pitching staff and trading for Trumbo in an idiotic attempt to get an outfield bat... meanwhile he didn't even fix SS and 3rd, as Prado sucked and got dumped, and Didi sucked and lost his job to a guy already in the system.

It was a cycle of insane and idiotic moves by one of the worst GMs in history.

We all have an opinion.

Freaking lead off walk. Never a good start to an inning

NEVER

Unreal

 

[Phrazbit]

Son of a...

This one is going to hurt.

Why isn't lamb playing 3rd in extra innings.. A natural (and very good) 3rd baSeman,

Good question

 

[Phrazbit]

Not a fan of this double switch... I feel like putting in Lamb at 3rd, moving Hill to 2nd and sliding Owings to SS would not only be a bigger defensive boost but also put a more threatening batting order out there.

 

[Iceman]

Tuffy gonna have welts after this game

Good point

 

[Phrazbit]

Well, the potential batting order probably won't matter.

 

[unseenaz]

This is all thanks to Reed by the way. I don't want anyone letting that guy off the hook

 

[Iceman]

Nice. Need that DP now
