Series Thread: Snakes vs. Fish

[BPNAZ]

You remind me of the cartoon "Ziggy". Just depressed with life.

Lol. I can assure you that mine is way better than yours kiddo

I was truly excited about this season for the first time in years. This turd team seems like they are doing everything they can to make me tune out early like usual. The pitching is beyond belief.

Have I given up? No, not yet...but it's close. I've seen this movie before and know how it ends.

 

[Suns7]

Hermann with the nice toss

 

[Suns7]

Our pitcher like hitter Ahmed is up....

 

[BPNAZ]

Its time to call up both Braden Shipley AND Archie Bradley and just roll with the young guys

Theres absolutely nothing to lose at this point, and atleast by the end of the year, you will have an idea if one of those guys or maybe both can be long term rotation type

 

[Suns7]

At least Drury is killing it. He's been in scoring position both at bats so far.

 

[Goldy]

Just got home. Let's see if we can make a comeback

 

[BPNAZ]

Nick Ahmed continues to dazzle with the bat

 

[Suns7]

2 batters strike out looking in the 9th inning. That's so aggravating. You protect the plate when you have 2 strikes.

 

[Goldy]

Le sigh.

I agree. Send Shelby Miller to the minors (assuming that doesn't cause some sort of contractual issue). I don't care how much he's getting paid, if he's that awful, he needs to go down and get his head straight where it won't guarantee the big league team a loss every 5th start.

Bradley has looked better lately and Shipley has been decent. Talk about a huge opportunity for them. They could be mediocre and it would earn them a permanent spot on the team all year.

SHipleys walk rate is just 1.8 so far this season at Reno. Hes also 24, this isnt like they would be calling up some 20 yr old pitcher. Greinke and Corbin on staff, its not like they would be asking Shipley to be some ace savior either. But id have to believe he could be better than de la rosa, miller

I could be better than Miller. Well, or just as "good".

Jake Lamb benched again. AGAIN! This is so stupid. He was 2-4 with one walk yesterday and he does not get to play today. Including today's upcoming game, he has only started one of the past five games. What more is Lamb supposed to do to warrant playing time. Hale is an idiot. Flat out. There is no excuse for him to bench Lamb and continue to play Ahmed. Hale has no idea how to manage. I cannot wait until he is fired. What a moron.

not that im a fan of Chip Hale, because im not, but im hearing he is being dictated on who to play by LaRussa

I hope it's Hale because then they have someone to fire for this mismanagement. Lamb sitting on the bench while Ahmed plays everyday is ridiculous. If Hale is just a puppet...well, that would not surprise me with this team.

Wow. That would be crazy. I wonder what is going on.

 

[Goldy]

This has just gotten embarrassing.

 

[johnson]

Hate to say it, but if they don't at least win the series against the Braves...I'm done. It's gotten too stupid to care about and I root for another team that isn't a total joke so there's still that.

You could switch to a different sport, If you started watching Arena Football, you could be rooting for the Arizona Rattlers which I think are undefeated so far this year at 5-0. Hard to complain about that I guess.
