I would assume whomever wins game 1 will basically sit as many as their everyday players they can and some hack will be pitching. Doesn’t necessarily translate to collusion but this is just a bad situation for the Dbacks and they have nobody to blame but themselvesThis could be collusion at its best, or for us, worst.
100% this.I would assume whomever wins game 1 will basically sit as many as their everyday players they can and some hack will be pitching. Doesn’t necessarily translate to collusion but this is just a bad situation for the Dbacks and they have nobody to blame but themselves
There are always games they could look back on but that Milwaukee one was brutal and should be the focus should they miss the playoffs100% this.
All they had to do was hold an 8-0 lead in Milwaukee, and they are in the playoffs guaranteed.
Absolutely - Torey's mismanaging in a nutshellThere are always games they could look back on but that Milwaukee one was brutal and should be the focus should they miss the playoffs
I was just bummed out when I made this post. The Brewers game killed us. And of course, winning just one more game of the 73 games we lost would have the same effect. Losing the Met's series 4-3, one more win there and nothing else mattered. I doubt I will watch any of the playoffs this year. Close, but no cigar.This could be collusion at it's best, or for us, worst.
I think I heard the atrocious stat that we blew 26 of 63 save opportunities.I was just bummed out when I made this post. The Brewers game killed us.

The DBacks put themselves in this position through blowing saves and big leads. And even though their record is better than last year, the team is simply not as good and doesn't have good chemistry. It is best if they view the postseason from the golf course.I think I heard the atrocious stat that we blew 26 of 63 save opportunities.
26!!! Any of those gets us into the playoffs.
One team will be in (resting its starters) and the other will be fighting for its life in game 2. DBacks and Lovullo can do nothing since they did nothing the Sunday in Milwaukee and then during the homestand. If they had just gone 3-3 on the homestand they'd be in. Woulda, coulda, shoulda.And the 8th inning chaos moved into the 9th. This is the kind of game that can leave a mark for game 2
Just saw that Sale was scratched. Atlanta must feel very good going against the Mets' scrubs.Atlanta is minus 300 to win game 2. Sale on the mound - 18-3 record. I think the DBacks will have golf clubs in hand and ready to hit the links later today or tomorrow. Sad, but probably true. I hope I am wrong. But if the DBacks miss the postseason by two tiebreakers, then heads must roll.
