So he's basically giving credence to Montgomery's complaints about the heat and humidity in the ballpark being too much. That combination can easily cause cramps if you aren't hydrated enough.

The cooling plant to my knowledge, is not owned by the park or the city. It used to be owned by NRG, then Westwind, now Cordia I believe. Contractually, or via other means, it may be obligated to serve the ballpark first; I think it was even put in because of the ballpark. It also provides chilled water to a number of other properties in the area, including the Phoenix Biomedical Campus a couple blocks north - I was the Director of Facilities Management there for a decade. The plant may be providing sufficient cooling water - when the Dbacks say "the HVAC is broken" (or doesn't work well, or whatever) - it could be anything from the exchangers, to the air handlers, fan coil units, VAVs, design, configuration, programming, etc. The problem (usually) with chilled water cooling like that is typically with a building it is like turning a battleship. Takes a long time to cool down a load that big. District cooling is friggin expensive - one of my (huge) buildings was like a million bucks a year for chilled water

Merrill has brought it up in the past as well. It’s a legit issue for players and fans during the summer.

Interesting to see McCarthy in RF over Carroll…
Thomas in CF stands out I guess as Alek has been even worse than Carroll at the plate as of late. But Thomas is so damn good defensively, his weak arm notwithstanding…

Problem is Katel should be DH & Gricek should be in right & Jake in Center. Carroll has been underwhelming against everyone let alone lefties all year

True… Most importantly though, let’s hope Marte is back soon at 100%!

Wonder how the Marlins will blow the 5-0 lead they have today against the Padres? My guess - a late inning bullpen blow up, lol.

Probably hit 12 batters in a row.

I oughta call child protective services for the beating you guys handed us last night. Maybe, just maybe, we can leave with a shred of dignity today.

5-4 now in the 7th...Padres getting ready to take the lead. The Marlins are beyond pathetic.

 

[TigToad]

Marlins win 7-6!

 

[Ronin]

This team has dog in them. Regardless of the outcome. Lovullo threw a band aid line up today, and we still competing.

 

[krazy2k]

Marlins win 7-6!

Guy who got the save for the Marlins has a 7.41 ERA and came into the game with the tying run on 2nd. I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then!

Del Castillo is earning a permanent spot on the roster.

Does anyone know why Carroll just came in?

He is in for Gurriel but not hearing why?

They didn't say, but were guessing maybe he did something making that catch on the fence.

McCarthy is en fuego.
