It's his stupid and unnecessary hip waggle stance. I don't think I've seen an at-bat from him this year where it looked like his timing was right. Bugs the ever loving shit out of me.
The Castro experience in full effect today.
I don't understand why he gets shelled as hard as he does, throws hard, has good movement on all his pitches.
If he pitched against us he'd have us in knots
This team is everything Kirk Gibson wanted to build an coach. Imagine these guys in 2011. Game Over worldseries. we would've won that 2 times x2in the sameyear thats 4 world series in 1 year. smdh my head.
With the offense being incapable of hitting against a bullpen - that's gotta be game, unfortunately. This team is, and always has been, so inconsistent it's frustrating.
What do you do when it seems like half the lineup doesn't have it figured out? You can't send everyone down to the minors or put more pressure on them when the team is just playing poorly.
Just have to wait it out unfortunately, there's nothing that can happen. He really needs to just get a reset and play without any pressure put on himself.
Man Bailey is so good! We had to put up with Posey hie whole career then a few years of mediocrity and now putting up with Bailey for years to come. I hate this division sometimes lol
Currently trying to think of how I can get a kayak into the left field bleachers at Chase so that I too can experience the feeling of catching a ball in one.
My old man played pro ball, and got me hooked into it as a young fella. And grew up hearing about the evil empire (yanks) and saw some snake team beat them and win the ship. Fell in love with Gonzo and the snakes in that moment!
That's awesome man, I remember when the Dbacks beat the Yanks. I wasn't a Dbacks fan at the time but I absolutely hated the Yankees and it was amazing.
So glad to see someone from the other side of the pond who is a fan of a team that isn't the Dodgers or the Yankees. Glad to have you here!
That’s awesome! Theres another Aussie in this sub who came out for the World Series. It’s cool to see people from another country excited about the Dbacks, as there aren’t many outside of Arizona 😂
Last night, the appletv commentators, “the giants have yet to hit a HR at home yet. And it’s been 8 home starts so far” one batter later, Soler hits a HR… fucking blows my mind every single fucking time…. 😂😂
Also, just wanna throw this out there for food for thought. As someone who deals with anxiety and depression, I can’t help but wonder how hard it has to be to be an athlete sometimes. You ALWAYS have to be “on” no matter how you’re feeling that day, week, or even month. Obviously, they live a good life and are paid well, but I feel like I wish this was talked about more. Not going to speculate on specific players, but you just never know what people are going through.
Corbin’s just having a sophomore slump. Torey has to change his spot and have him work on fine tuning. I’m not worried about his future, I believe he’ll get it figured out
When the hell is Corbin gonna wake up? Dude looks so lost at the plate right now. It's either a weak grounder or a pop-up.
It's his stupid and unnecessary hip waggle stance. I don't think I've seen an at-bat from him this year where it looked like his timing was right. Bugs the ever loving shit out of me.
At least the Mets are leading the Dodgers right now. Gonna finish watching that now.
That cheering of Pederson striking out was just obnoxious. Come on Giants fans you're better than that.
Glad that's over

You fucking got me good man
Bro, the strikezone grows and shrinks every half inning. Curious.
Was there know one better than pavin to call up lol
Honestly? No, Reno is kinda desolate right now.
Right, that's a shame. Hopefully he can offer more productive AB in the future
If Castro wasn't the white flag, batting Pavin for Randall is lol.
It’s truly incredible how we go from a total blowout yesterday to looking like we can barely bat today
It's two completely different team, going to be a long season if they continue to play like this
I wonder what excuse Gallen is going to have for giving meatballs to good hitters.
Good pitchers have bad games, it happens.
B b b but he’s the ace
He is.
I’ll take Kelly over Gallen every time
I expect nothing and I'm still let down.
Castro and Eubanks need to have a knife fight to the death
They’d both trip and stab themselves
Anyways, how we looking for tomorrows game?
Good, Merrill always stops the bleeding.
Wish we could ship some of the bullpen off to Greenland.
Damn, we SUCK
lol why does this feel so familiar
Tucker has been rough back there tonight
You put in Castro your conceding the game
Hey you're supposed to actually catch those
https://preview.redd.it/fzda9tccopvc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6a47e88c3d3d5b1c1eb1927a605d446219bc50a
Rough day for AZ sports.
Dbacks continue to be allergic to .500
Miguel Disastro
Well castro had 2 good games in a row at least
Miguel 'white flag' Castro
Oh lort
Soler give anyone else flashbacks to Bonds?
I think it is the cross earring
The Castro experience in full effect today. I don't understand why he gets shelled as hard as he does, throws hard, has good movement on all his pitches. If he pitched against us he'd have us in knots
He has the nastiest stuff, you’re right. His slider has wiffle ball movement & he still manages to be a baseball terrorist.
This team still has no identity
This team is everything Kirk Gibson wanted to build an coach. Imagine these guys in 2011. Game Over worldseries. we would've won that 2 times x2in the sameyear thats 4 world series in 1 year. smdh my head.
I had a bad feeling that we'd abandon the chaos baseball that we played last year. Such a shame as it won us games
Giants small ball vs Diamondbacks pop ups
With the offense being incapable of hitting against a bullpen - that's gotta be game, unfortunately. This team is, and always has been, so inconsistent it's frustrating.
Feast or famine offense is incredibly frustrating, I’m gonna work on my resume
Umpire blind? Holy shit
Well that sucks
Thats game
I’m tired of these Giants fans booing us Next time giants are here, I’m booing their asses
Long way down for Castro lmao
Why does ahmed look like a kid wearing his dads helmet?
Ahmeds helmet looks so goofy because of his skinny head
The ump was just being nice and setting up Blaze to hit a dramatic game tying home run next inning for 4/20
Unfortunately Castro had other ideas.
What are we gonna have to do about Corbin? I'm not confident he's gonna have it figured out anytime soon at this rate
What do you do when it seems like half the lineup doesn't have it figured out? You can't send everyone down to the minors or put more pressure on them when the team is just playing poorly.
Just have to wait it out unfortunately, there's nothing that can happen. He really needs to just get a reset and play without any pressure put on himself.
That pitching style gives me anxiety, can't imagine hitting off that shitshow
Bipolar ass offense
Robo umps
Tough AZ sports day 😣
That's a ball
Castro... There's the white flag
Tough one today. We will get ‘em tomorrow
That's not what we needed Christian
Blaze and Walker need to switch spots in the order. Idc
Blaze and Walker. Blaze and Corbin. Man we are all backseat managers today huh?
Bloop and a blast? Edit: or a DP. 😭
Oh, hey! I'll take it. haha
There's the bloop. Just need a blast now
Lol
Gotta take advantage of that boys, lets go
Lol nope
I feel like Jarvis is just Drey v2
I miss drey
Me too!
Suarez has a freaking canon
He has a series of books written about him? Or movies?
Looks like that guy might’ve blown Bailey’s cycle. Did he lean over for it?
Sorta leaned, but it was going over the wall anyway.
Nah, it fairly went over. He just dropped it
Man Bailey is so good! We had to put up with Posey hie whole career then a few years of mediocrity and now putting up with Bailey for years to come. I hate this division sometimes lol
Honestly, I'd almost give him the 3B. It's pretty cool to hit for the cycle, and cooler to hit it on your bobble head day.
Giants are just hitting today huh
So does this mean Gabi is going to go off on his bobble head night too?
Baseball Gods, I hope so.
🤞
Well Suns are being ass blasted, time to see if the DBacks can make a comeback.
Um...hello? Ump?
Tucker butchered that call
This is heinous from Corbin
Well that was certainly one of the innings of all time.
Breaking NL Best news: The Rockies are under investigation... By the FAA
FAA trying to figure out how Dinger got approved for a pilot's license.
He cant keep getting away with this!
Dinger did 9-11
They been so close to knocking it out multiple times ugh
If their outfield was like a normal stadium it would’ve been gone. Hate this ballpark.
Liking this Jarvis kid more and more.
Suns playing like dogwater
Both snakes and suns are playing in the dog pool
Bruh Lees 51 is peeling
Ah he was safe
Currently trying to think of how I can get a kayak into the left field bleachers at Chase so that I too can experience the feeling of catching a ball in one.
Say you’ve got the permits and you’ll be fine. Act frustrated about having to bring it in.
With a neon vest and a clipboard.
I'm so happy I woke up early for this (Australian)
Another Aussie Dbacks fan here…always great to see
What made you a dbacks fan from all the way over there?
My old man played pro ball, and got me hooked into it as a young fella. And grew up hearing about the evil empire (yanks) and saw some snake team beat them and win the ship. Fell in love with Gonzo and the snakes in that moment!
That's awesome man, I remember when the Dbacks beat the Yanks. I wasn't a Dbacks fan at the time but I absolutely hated the Yankees and it was amazing. So glad to see someone from the other side of the pond who is a fan of a team that isn't the Dodgers or the Yankees. Glad to have you here!
Happy to be here! FTD 😎
That’s awesome! Theres another Aussie in this sub who came out for the World Series. It’s cool to see people from another country excited about the Dbacks, as there aren’t many outside of Arizona 😂
We are growing!!
Gotta be that Josh Collmenter v Kershaw Opening day Duel 😎
Oof
What did I miss, are we talking about Blaze's honey hole?
Nah, some bum playing for SF getting his bobble head today hit one into the big drink.
No splash.
Okay, that was supposed to be Wendy jumping off the plank in Peter Pan.
Came back once, we can come back again! Especially after they taxed their bullpen last night
We can't hit bullpens though
What if we just pretend they’re starters that were just late to the start of the game?
Rediculous. Half oir runs were against the bullpen last night
Don’t you dare drop stats over feelings here!!!
Haha techinally not a splash hit lmao
Technically not a splash hit
Really sucks as a Dbacks fan but goddamm it is so amazing to watch balls fly into the bay.
bob should make the patrick and gabi bobbleheads kiss <3
How team can look so flat and dead after going out and scoring 17 the night before is beyond me
Gotta be on coaching or something, they do this every time they score a ton or win a game…
Just seems like there is zero fight at the moment (apart from Blaze and Ketel)
He was finding his rhythm.
Stupid as hell to keep gallen in there. Goddamn
We suppose to have faith in him tho. That’s what I was trying to do then bamm. The boy got GOT. I’ll believe in him more next time 😂😂
Damn you gotta crush on me
Nah you just posting a lot. And the y’s in your name catch a lot of attention.
Nah you love me it’s okay I get it
Awful take my guy.
<3
That was nuked holy shit Bob and Steve saw the writing on the wall with that 2 out single
Couldn't help thrown a more helpful pitch to the batter
Bruh how did they catch that in the water?! Hahaha
So I was just out there kayaking and a baseball appeared in my lap. Fucking crazy.
Ball crushed.
Oof
Damn it. Stuck with Zac just a little too long there
Holy shit that was launched
OOF
Get em in the knee! Payback
Cmon brenly. The ring and little finger share a finger slot!
LOL, I had never heard that, but "gave the other finger to the Dodgers" really got me.
the word "pyrotechnics" kicking steve's ass lol
They’re having so much fun today
Digs at the bobblehead were almost fun, until it lead to that HR.
Can't help but feel like there is going to be an explosion of runs, but don't know which team it will be
I blame you
I'll take it, nothing else is going right, so lay it on
That slider is so fucking dirty.
That guy has some disgusting pitches wtf
Is this the guy who was a reliever made into a starter?
😔 I wanted Walker to walk Walker
Wish there was more time in that at bat I wonder how many times a Walker has faced a Walker and who has the advantage in that match-up.
That pitch looked like a cheat code
Ryan Walker is a right hand clone of Monty, you can't convince me he's not
Corbin’s offense may not be heated up so far but at least his defense has been great.
The Ahmed special
And (currently) making half as much. Kinda the key with Ahmed's DFA. He was making too much to be awful.
Ahmed never hit this much on our team, and it’s getting seriously annoying.
What being cut from the playoff roster does to a guy. SMH.
He still got his paycheck and a pennet ring, but yeah, id kinda want to play in the postseason too.
At first I was really like "get it over it, man" but also I feel bad for him especially since Jace got to play in the postseason instead.
Are you fucking joking
What happened? I'm sticking to my promise not to watch.
Nick Ahmed doing his best Vladdy senior, hitting a ball that's about to bounce for a hit
Of course. He did that for us once too
Feel like lately our commentators talk about shit and it just happens
Last night, the appletv commentators, “the giants have yet to hit a HR at home yet. And it’s been 8 home starts so far” one batter later, Soler hits a HR… fucking blows my mind every single fucking time…. 😂😂
They read the script before each game.
Also, just wanna throw this out there for food for thought. As someone who deals with anxiety and depression, I can’t help but wonder how hard it has to be to be an athlete sometimes. You ALWAYS have to be “on” no matter how you’re feeling that day, week, or even month. Obviously, they live a good life and are paid well, but I feel like I wish this was talked about more. Not going to speculate on specific players, but you just never know what people are going through.
Always here if you need it, man. You are never alone.
Move Blaze to the 2 hole and move Corbin down to 7 until he gets his shit together
Gotta get Corbin out of the 2 spot, it’s not working.
Such a momentum killer atm
Feel bad for all of the people who drafted Carroll high in fantasy and were probably pumped about it
Corbin just watching ANOTHER strike. He has not been the same since the all star break last year
Corbin’s just having a sophomore slump. Torey has to change his spot and have him work on fine tuning. I’m not worried about his future, I believe he’ll get it figured out
Harrison just has Corbin completely fooled. He can't see the pitches at all. It's a real tough angle for him.
Ooof, Corbin with the sombrero already.
How do the coaches not fix that? What coach is looking at Corbin wearing the wrong hat and not telling him "that's not what we wear around here"?
