First look at Escobar.

 

[DweeberAZ]

Just noticed that the Dbacks optioned O'Brien back to Reno today. Figured he would be at least a DH for the 2nd two games in Houston.

5/30/16 Arizona Diamondbacks optioned Peter O'Brien to Reno Aces.

This guy Escobar was the best option the Diamondbacks had from the minors? Seriously? That is sad.

Theres this kid named Shipley at Reno who some viewed might be better than Bradley but nahhhhhh. Stewart loves escobar and they didn't draft Shipley

Our pitching coach will not make it to the end of the season.

 

[BPNAZ]

at some point they need to admit that the Tomas signing was a mistake. A loooooooot of money for a singles hitter that doesn't get it done with RISP and plays below average defense

Peralta will be back soon, Pollock ST 2017.......with the emergence of Drury, i got like O'Brien with a ton of pop in minors, there is simply no place for Tomas in everyday lineup come March next year

How bad can this pitching staff get. Corbin has pitched poorly. Miller is a disaster. Greinke has been awful at home. De La Rosa is injured now. Ray has not been good. The rotation is even worse than last year. This is the fifth straight year this organization has had horrible starting pitching. What happened to the team.

 

[BPNAZ]

hahhahahahahha they don't even have a recap of the game yet up on azsports.com

 

[tuffydahog]

The Diamondbacks are now 10 games out of first and 9-20 at home. They have also given up 279 runs on the season which is the second most in all of baseball to the Reds. The Astros came into this series as the worst hitting team in the American League and had 25 hits in two games.

I'm officially done with them this year. I'll be checking headlines etc for fantasy purposes and inadvertently staying apprised, but won't be attending a game or spending a dime (except when Toronto comes to town...but that's for them, not AZ)

 

[BPNAZ]

hahahha Rickie Weeks Jr hitting cleanup today

thats some epic protection for Goldy

but........everything is just fine with this team i forgot, its early

 

[BPNAZ]

atleast Greinke is back to normal.........rest of the pitching staff must start following suit

 

[johnson]

The problem is "normal" for half of them still isn't that good.

Our only hope is Bradley turns into an Ace immediately; then they'd have a 1-2 punch and the other three turds could scuffle along and pick up wins here and there. Their perpetual chase of .500 could get interesting then.

 

[BPNAZ]

Owings just fucked over Bradley in outfield, so now Hale is going to leave Bradley out there over 100 pitches and im sure he will get bombed now, and everyone will say Bradley sucked again

should be 6 IP, 0 ER, 8 K's at Chicago.........thanks Owings. Keep that CF experiment going though

 

[BPNAZ]

Bradley gets out of it over 100 pitches and just the one "earned" run. impressive at Wrigley

6 IP, a bullshit run, and 9 Ks 3 walks but last one was intentional
