He's so dry.... I think he enjoys it sometimes.

Congrats ZGreink!

And now it looks like he had been replaced.

 

[BC867]

Due to a "personal matter". Previously there was talk that he might be the starter.

We know that Zack has a personality disorder. Unable to look a reporter or the camera
in the eye when being interviewed and looking down at the ground instead.

And IIRC, he has made comments about wanting to be in the All Star game but not the
personal side that goes along with it.

Is that Grienke's "personal matter" in backing out? If so, it is disappointing that he is
letting down his team and fans.

I'm disappointed, and I have advocated not trading him because we have no one else
who comes close to being our #1or #2 starter.

Last night's victory by Robbie Ray was his first in a long, long time.

Your constant slighting of his anxiety issues is something else man. Who the hell cares at this point? He’s an elite starting pitcher which is all that matters. He’s not letting down anyone by skipping an exhibition game.

No need to get nasty, Gator. It is what it is and we're here to share our opinions.

Mine is that he was chosen to represent us at the ASG and he should be doing so.

As I posted, I've advocated not trading him this season, because he is, indeed,
our elite starting pitcher.

To call the MLB All-Star game, a long time tradition, "an exhibition game" is
short sighted.

And BTW, my reference to Zack's anxiety issues has hardly been constant.
Peace, brother.

First of all he has an anxiety disorder which is not a personality disorder. Second he’s 35 and has been a part of several ASG’s. It’s not uncommon for vets to give up their spot but the Diamondbacks are still being represented for people who really value that kind of thing.
