Bradley gets the start for ARZ according to AZ Central. Not a big deal IMO, TB often starts RP in games.
Well, whatever progress Archie was making, however minimal, is now ancient history. Torey has officially ruined Archie with this start. THIS is why Godley needed to start today.

Archie's pitching arm . . . and pitch selection.
It's time to promote him to the D-backs public relations department.
"Now appearing at a Fry's or Basha's near you. Former pitcher Archie Bradley."

Nice call on not starting Godley.

Couldn't get much worse.
This team just can't handle the least bit of success.

Ronin you picked a good game to miss. Can we just forfeit the game and fly home?

I just looked at the box score, and all I have to say is smh.
They were both making headway until Lovullo messed with the roles and routines of both today.

He's made all the wrong moves today.
Now 15-3.
Caleb Joseph in to get the final out of the eighth.
Particularly when he then put in Godley, who is used to starting but not used to coming into a game that early or with inherited runners, after 4 outs.
Lovullo ruined two pitchers at once by pulling a switcheroo on their respective roles. It's like Lovullo gets some sort of enjoyment from taking his players out of their comfort zones and messing with their psyche.

#Dbacks mgr Torey Lovullo when asked if Archie Bradley was tipping his pitches: "We’ve looked at him, we’ve examined as much as we possibly can. I think at one point in time he was, but that’s a good question. That’s a very valid question. We’re always watching for that."

#Dbacks manager Torey Lovullo on this spot in the rotation going forward: "We know this is a spot that needs to be figured out. It’s the biggest thing that I’ll be thinking about over the next 48 hours."

Exactly.
I'm pretty tired of Lovullo. His buddy buddy system with select players won't work. We need someone who demands better and has to battle for their position in the team. How many shots is Bradley going to get? There's better players in triple A and he has promised play time to his buddies. Sherfy deserves a position better than Bradley, but cause people recognize Bradley he gets play time. His stupid mandatory days off do nothing but kill any momentum a player is feeling. That's why you get months like May where lineups go cold

I agree with this. I don't know what TL was thinking. I listened to 98.7 today and he kept saying WE decided to do this. Well, HE is the Manager and needs to decide who starts and comes in later. Let Hazen bring in players, but let TL make the game day decisions. I scoffed at the notion of Bradley starting and it got as bad as it could get from there. It turned out horrible.
No GM worth his salt won't be a part of that decision making process. I also assume the "we" would include Butcher and possibly to a lesser extent Bullpen coach and even the pitchers themselves
