No way I thought we would lose that game. Godley deserved the win. [emoji17]
The bullpen is definitely our biggest weakness.Bullpen sucked.
I can't stand how Chafin has an attitude like he is the top dog and screws up for the 3rd or 4th straight time. It gets annoying.
Don't let me get started on Rodney. I would love if TL would just continue to play Bradly into the 9th, just one time...
Dude there was no reason Archie couldn't just pitch the 9th. He already warmed him up and used him in the 8th when we were up 5, why not just let him finish it.
And yes, I totally agree about Chafin, his swagger doesn't match his game.
I don't blame Rodney for being ineffective in this case. As I watched him warming up in the bullpen, then sit down when it was no longer a save situation, then get up and warm up again for a brief time and come in . . .Here's what we know. Rodney has 36 saves, 2nd best in the NL..... When he is on, he's on.
Likewise.... when he's off, he doesn't seem to recover..... You would think our manager would recognize that and pull Rodney immediately during these times.
Just a thought.....
I'll take the false bravado over the deer in the headlights any day.I can't stand how Chafin has an attitude like he is the top dog and screws up for the 3rd or 4th straight time. It gets annoying.

I thought . . . a Closer is a precision instrument. This change of routine is going to affect him. And, sure enough, it did. I raise the point, as I have in the past, if a D-backs fan considered that, why didn't the Manager?
What goes up.....Now I remember why roller coasters make me nauseous.
