Game #54-Arizona Diamondbacks @ Colorado Rockies. 5/27/19

[1Sun]

Actually, Sherfy is on the roster and is pitching in the 9th, outside of his normal role.

This is officially 100% on Torey.

 

[Broseph]

Realistically, what can you do with Archie Bradley if you are Hazen?

Send him to Reno. He needs to address his clearly mental issues in the minors, or he needs to he some other team's problem.

 

[BC867]

Sherfy with a 29-pitch 9th innning and two walks.

But he got out of the inning.

Extra innings.

 

[thirty-two]

It wasn’t pretty but Sherfy held them to no runs. Whew!

 

[BC867]

Dyson, our leadoff spark plug, starts the 10th with a triple.

And a 2-out walk to Escobar, who then easily steals second.

 

[thirty-two]

Cmon Guys, bring Dyson in please

 

[BC867]

Cmon Guys, bring Dyson in please

Walker leaves them on 2nd & 3rd with a groundout.

 

[thirty-two]

Or not

 

[BC867]

Sherfy back to pitch the bottom of the 10th at 29 pitches.

He doesn't look quite as baby faced with the beard.

He was a closer in the Minors. The D-backs bullpen is dysfunctional.

 

[BC867]

Sherfy is now up to 40 pitches. After a visit to the mound, he's still there.

Runner on 1B with one out. Then a 4-pitch walk.

He walked two batters in each of the 9th & 10th innings.

And now Andriese will come in to pitch.

Winning run in scoring position.

 

[BC867]

Runner on 2nd thrown out at 3B on a wild pitch. It's the 11th inning.

Walker has gone 0-for-5. He needs a "rest". Give Cron a chance to
acclimate. What do we have to lose?

Steve just called this game one that no one seems to want to win.

 

[BC867]

A 1-out double by Desmond missed a HR by a few inches.

And a walk-off single. Rockies win 4-3.

The next three games in Colorado start at 5:30.

 

[TJ]

They should find a way to transfer the loss to Archie Bradley. I’d rather have a 24-man roster than have him on this team.

 

[AZ Native]

We had a man on 3rd with no one out. Where was our “lift”. Greinke is screwed again. It’s going to be a long year.

That is a pet peeve of mine.

All a sacrifice fly takes is a routine fly ball to the outfield.

Any Major League hitter should be able to do that.

Especially two in a row.

Maybe Greinke should teach them how to do it.

Nope. This loss is 100% on Torey Lovullo. No doubt about that.

I think Torey has done a great job with what is has to work with. Is he perfect? NO. But neither are any us.

 

[gimpy]

Ok. I didn't watch the game. So, how is this 100% on Lovullo?

Yanking Hirano in the 7th and then putting in Chafin with runners on base and then Bradley, despite having a fresh Sherfy and Lopez available, and despite Hirano having settled down and being about to get out of the inning.

Then not running a squeeze with Dyson on third and nobody out.

 

[gimpy]

Lovullo.

 

[AZ Native]

Nope. This loss is 100% on Torey Lovullo. No doubt about that.

Your hatred of Torey is epic. Does he have naked pictures of your wife? He has more wins with his lineups than any of us could expect.

So what MLB team do you manage? Based on your posts you are more qualified than anyone else. Or is it the Monday morning QB syndrome? Another want to be manager? Please let us know. Lol

I can't criticize obvious blunders as a fan? Are you Torey's wife or something?

That’s all you do is criticize him. You never say anything when he makes a good decision. My neighbor who lives with his mom does the same. He works at Circle K and knows it all. He also says things like “I hope he learns his lesson”. Like he is the expert. Just a little balance would be great.

 

[AZ Native]

BC is very critical of Torey at times. But he also gives credit when credit is due. That is the difference. DBacks score 15 runs in a game and you say nothing. They score zero in the next game and you blame Torey. That happens all the time. Sure, criticize but give credit when due.
