[BC867]

Chafin on to pitch the bottom of the 8th and walks the first two batters.

Chafin on to pitch the bottom of the 8th and walks the first two batters.

Why is Chafin pitching? He is NOT their set-up man. Is Lovullo calling in moves?

 

[BC867]

Archie coming in for a 5-out save. Runners on 1st & 3rd.

 

[BC867]

And Archie gives up a single. Tie game. Oh, Archie!

 

[BC867]

We might get to see that stupid new rule with a runner put on second in extra innings.

So far this season, it happened once.

A sacrifice and a sacrifice fly and the "gift" runner scored the winning run.

 

[1Sun]

And Archie gives up a single. Tie game. Oh, Archie!

How did this team go from a dark horse World Series contender to the worst team in baseball in 4 months? And why is nobody being held accountable for this?

 

[Dback Jon]

And Archie gives up a single. Tie game. Oh, Archie!

That’s on Chaffin. You can’t come in and walk the first two batters

 

[BC867]

In the case of Archie, it's choosing public relations over skill.

We needed to sign a legit closer over the winter.

 

[BC867]

That’s on Chaffin. You can’t come in and walk the first two batters

Are you not holding Archie accountable over a blown save?

Out top reliever is getting paid to pitch under pressure.

 

[Dback Jon]

Out top reliever is getting paid to pitch under pressure.

When Archie need criticism I will give it.

this isn’t one of them

 

[Dback Jon]

Yes!

 

[BC867]

Ketel with a 1-out bases loaded sac fly and the D-backs lead 3-2.

And The Freight Train with a single to make it 4-2.

 

[JerkFace]

When Archie need criticism I will give it.

Yep... not completely on Bradley giving up the run in the 8th, but this 9th inning will be 100% on him.

 

[Dback Jon]

Padres all-star closer knocked out

 

[Mainstreet]

I didn't think that hit up the middle had enough on it to get through.

 

[Dback Jon]

Yep... not completely on Bradley giving up the run in the 8th, but this 9th inning will be 100% on him.

Yes. If he blows this then any criticism will be justified

 

[Mainstreet]

Peralta with the great catch in left field.

 

[BC867]

Oooh, the Freight Train just saved Archie's butt.

 

[Dback Jon]

What a catch by Peralta!!!

 

[Dback Jon]

Ugh. Come on Archie

 

[Dback Jon]

As usual, the Dback pitchers can’t close out an inning when they get two outs

 

[Mainstreet]

The last two batters have hit it hard.

 

[BC867]

And Archie gives up a long hit and it's 4-3.

Part of my criticism of Archie is that he has always made every appearance an adventure.

That catches up with you.

But he holds on to get the win.

 

[Mainstreet]

I guess I picked a good game to watch.

 

[BC867]

I just read that the Red Sox had interviewed our Bench Coach Luis Urueta for the Manager's job.

His Managerial record in this short season is 1-0.

Torey's is 0-2, following two embarrassing blowouts in L.A.
