Could really use an extra run or two here. It’s lining up for O’Neil Cruz to lead off the ninth against Sewald. That matchup makes me uncomfortable to say the least lol

100%

 

[outcent13]

100%

Looks like I read that totally wrong. Worked out pretty good though lol

 

[Dback Jon]

Ball don’t lie.

Newman walks on 5 balls

 

[Dback Jon]

Martinez should stay in

 

[krazy2k]

Should have pitched Puk in the 9th instead of the 7th. The guy struck out the side.

 

[Dback Jon]

One reason I don’t like sac bunts - giving up outs

 

[Dback Jon]

Sewald sucks. Torey does too

 

[Lefty]

Sewald can never have an easy inning.

 

[Dback Jon]

This umpire is erratic

 

[Dback Jon]

Sewald sucks. Torey does too

Again!!!

 

[krazy2k]

Sewald sucks. Torey does too

Torey and Hazen never learn. SEWALD IS NOT A CLOSER. IT IS ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE. Puk should have been the one closing this one out today.

 

[Lefty]

One more out to go.

 

[Dback Jon]

Again!!!

Damn it

 

[Lefty]

Sewald blows another game.

 

[Plissken]

Who would have thought this would happen?

 

[Bobster]

Ungh.

Sewald does it again.

 

[krazy2k]

Who would have thought this would happen?

I did. Sewald is barely a good set up man.

 

[krazy2k]

Sewald was mentally done for the season after those 3 consecutive blown saves. Today is just another example of his mental meltdown. Torey has to stop using him in the closer role. For the other team, he's an "opener".

 

[krazy2k]

Everything was in place for a great sweep today - until Sewald pooped in the punch bowl. Very disappointing.

 

[Dback Jon]

We need areal closer

 

[Dback Jon]

Thompson only threw 5 pitches. Keep him in

 

[FB94]

Puk will eventually move to closer if Sewald blows one more. And what’s with the play review. Sure looks like it the ground to me.

 

[krazy2k]

No one in the media has the guts to ask Lovullo - hey Torey, when are you going to stop using Sewald as your closer? He seems to be blowing at least one of every two save opportunities recently.

Yup.

Torey costing us a sweep

Loaded no outs
