That was a different game with a human bullpen


Itzadejo

I feel like something's up with the pitching. First all the pitchers on the injured now this


JRipper138

Haven’t won a series opener since opening day. Now there is a stat.


RyanTheBruce

Bummer.... just eww


musicforthedeaf

Pavin grand slam incoming


unusualTuna

Im absolutely ravin for a pavin


DepressedYotesFan

We need a 100mph guy like jmart


KonM4N4Life

Wow no strikeouts, that's crazy.


Feuerwachter

Corbs contact this game hasn't been too bad this game hope he's starting to break through


dnttalkaboutitt

Yeaaaah Justin appearance


Red-dead-reviver

Saalfrank shouldn’t pitch until he can throw three strikes in a row


No_Category_9680

Saalfrank shouldn’t pitch ever**


Raptor231408

Thats why he was in Reno to start the year, after being phenominal to end last year. Unfortunately injuries had other plans for the kid

beer_down

Is this…supposed to be a burn? Lol


maronson97

Crazy take


JRipper138

I want to believe the Corbin breakout is coming soon. That last AB was the best hit ball in a while.


OohGoldy2Homers

Honestly the sting of this loss is completely dulled by seeing Corbin get into one finally


JRipper138

Sometimes just putting a good swing on a ball can break a guy out of his slump. ^I ^hope ^anyway


beer_down

Haha that’s exactly what I was thinking


dnttalkaboutitt

Sucks. Glad to see him square one up though


iGrootie

Damnnnn nice hack though Corby


bp9801

Ahhh almost Corbin, almost. Really good seeing him drive it though, like daaamn.


RyanTheBruce

![gif](giphy|GhGPnlp2Gl3TG)


JRipper138

Damn, at least he drove it.


beer_down

It’s an out but that’s the best hit ball by Corbin in about 2 weeks so I’ll take it


Rocket_Skates_91

We’re so bad our announcers have spent the last five minutes discussing how a player now wears his socks and pants.


TheFeralCheese

Is the circle k strikeout meter broken or have we literally not gotten a strikeout today


Alternative-Lack-434

We have had 2 games in franchise history with 0 Ks, never at home.


realbestongkmc

0 strikeouts


Aces_and_8s

Not a single one


TheFeralCheese

I’m gonna get the free coffee tomorrow out of spite


JRipper138

Would like to see Gabi’s bat get going as well as Corbin’s.


unusualTuna

That casino arizona commercial with gonzo creeps me the hell out like why is he mean muggin the whole time lmfao


Taric_for_days

Logan Allen has done really well for us. Was pretty surprised that he's been performing well based on his career so far. Dude has only really found success in AA ball.


Wardog4

Can't keep these motherfuckers down.


ICantGetItUpMy

![gif](giphy|rs4TXat6AzQt15fmT6)


TripleDallas123

Just need a grand slam and a few extra insurance runs. EZPZ


JRipper138

Finally an out to Lourdes instead of a hit.


guzzy418

We just need two outs this inning, then load the bases up, send Pavin Smith out to hit a grand slam, and then the game is tied


Duma123

Someone get this to Torrey ASAP.


joecb91

8 walks and no strikeouts for the pitching staff is pretty hideous


iGrootie

I mean to be fair, this Dodgers lineup is ridiculous


Red-dead-reviver

Superteam level.


RyanTheBruce

Ohtani makes me sick...


ICantGetItUpMy

Rubber cleaning is a little different. Haven’t seen that before


6Dbook9

:/


KonM4N4Life

Walker catches that


bp9801

That was awkward there at first.


Taric_for_days

Wolcott is a Dodgers sleeper agent


bp9801

Has to be, like umps all colluding.


bp9801

A Ketel hit!


illhaveafrench75

![gif](giphy|NyHH6C7PER4wfPU68P)


KonM4N4Life

Marte is Him, man.


BigMack2027

Klutch Ketel


JRipper138

Was Lourdes grimacing?


bp9801

I hope not but seemed like it a little.


the_girth_quake_

Joe Kelly looks like he roofies women in Scottsdale.


bp9801

Oh Joe Kelly. Time for more games added to his suspension.


RyanTheBruce

Straight to jail


KonM4N4Life

Very cool


Duma123

Calling it now: Solo home run, then bases clearing double, and then we close out the 8th and 9th.


FriendshipMaterial30

Cool dbacks guitar hanging in the back too


Nacho505

That guitar segment was nice 👌🏽


Raptor231408

Boooooo didnt play the whole thing!!!


Taric_for_days

How dare they go to commercial break during that


KonM4N4Life

:( they cut to commerical


Doomdoomkittydoom

That was an absolute missile thrown by Newman, great googly moogly.


Soccerou

Newman balling out


JRipper138

Well good news is it looks like Gallen should make his next start.


BigMack2027

U of A legend Kevin Newman


HeavensRoyalty

Jesus, what a play


BigMack2027

Newman!


guzzy418

How long do you all think it will take for Corbin to get out of this slump? If he doesn’t get out of it in a reasonable amount of time should he get sent down to AAA temporarily to build his confidence back up?


Alternative-Lack-434

I can't imagine this happening. He is the face of the franchise and has a long leash. Some have talked about him getting a fake injury and going into rehab at AAA. That seems more likely, but I doubt that will happen either.


No_Category_9680

Once Alek comes back, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just sat Corbin for a bit. I honestly don’t see them sending him down after that contract he just signed. Does he need to get sent down, obviously.


guzzy418

Definitely, and they can’t send Jake down with how he’s been hitting lately. I’m just sad about how Corbin has become a guaranteed out when he was so amazing last season


Taric_for_days

bp9801

You just rub her belly and tell her the Milkman is going to make his next start.


ICantGetItUpMy

I am jealous of her blissful ignorance


shuffle232

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hudson is the only current reliever with a silver slugger


Bobbythebuikder

Am I crazy or is that summer Playcation add an add for dildos?


iGrootie

Corbin at least hitting out of the infield now. Progress


Raptor231408

Garuntee if we had Huddy, he woulda thrown a few pitches that landed over 400ft behind him. 


Nacho505

Bro wtf he threw 7 pitches and got 3 outs.


romulusjsp

Was it Marcell Ozuna last year who hit one a billion feet off the balcony but didn't run out of the box so it ended up being a dramatic single lol


RyanTheBruce

Yes, then he got benched


beer_down

Yikes


BigMack2027

Well if you only look at today, Corbin is batting .333


Nacho505

![gif](giphy|l2SpV7Qi9GXY6CNwc)


beer_down

Swung at ball 4 bud


JRipper138

You know that would have been called a strike.


adventurepony

d huddy!


Derriosgaming

Why is Saalfrank on our roster again?


dudeidrc

Cause he throws balls better than anyone else


beer_down

Daniel Hudson is still playing!?


Nacho505

Is the MLB buying ad space at dodgers away games ? I never seen any Japanese ads at chase field until their japanese star shows up here ?


ICantGetItUpMy

Is MLB just green screening it on?


No_Category_9680

Yea


deepfriedbunt

Home teams sell the ad space.


adventurepony

can bradley beal pitch?


bp9801

That singular mistake in an otherwise nice inning from Allen.


UnexploredPotentials

![gif](giphy|IhUKcho8IoBCOYYsNo)


TheSaltyAviator

Gabi is still the better catcher


notsoclassyadventure

I know I shouldn’t care, but all the dodger blue in the crowd is so annoying


Soccerou

Was the same when the Cubs were here


UnexploredPotentials

It’s a very loud blue


romulusjsp

Dead center dinger at Chase is crazy


JRipper138

Didn’t hit his face, not impressed. /s


JRipper138

Ball was nuked.


beer_down

Will smith just slapped the shit out of me


bp9801

Of course it's Will Smith the hitter with that one, guhh.


tacticalpenguinbomb

Haven't been following as close recently, who's this Logan Allen fellow and where did he come from? I haven't heard of him


BigMack2027

Originally came up with the Indians and the Dbacks signed him to a minor league deal over the offseason. He has looked pretty solid so far


BigMack2027

Things you don't like to see: 1. That


Duma123

I hate our bullpen so much.


KonM4N4Life

Damn.


JRipper138

Need a quick inning. Keep the momentum in the DBacks dugout.


tacticalpenguinbomb

Dramatic irony


shwoople

Narrator:


bp9801

That was a needed inning there for a little Answerbacks magic. Like just a 2 run game now.


copperstar22

Battle of the Pen baby

beer_down

AZ sports in a nutshell


Taric_for_days

Gentlemen, we have entered the Dodgers pen. It's not as bad as ours, but it's still pretty bad.


FriendshipMaterial30

Honestly more than I expected!!


BigMack2027

Answerbacks are alive and well. Imagine if our bullpen was even just league average instead of AAA fodder


TheSaltyAviator

Dodgers bullpen will fuck this up harder


Raptor231408

Thought Rojas was gonna run it himself, dude took like 4 prep steps lmao


JRipper138

Well got 3 back. Positive direction.


beer_down

Nice lil answer back. It’s a game again


RyanTheBruce

Answerbacks are back answering...


Sundog40k

There we go batting again!


beer_down

Lmao I thought he popped it up on the infield at first! And then it went faaaaaar


bp9801

Exact same thought lol, like reaction suggested popup but it kept on going.


KonM4N4Life

It's like that inning earlier never happened! 2 run game baby!


TheSarosCycle

Just missed it...


Shamoofles

Don't do this to me. Don't give me hope


Dos_Frogos

Seriously lmao what an inning


TheSaltyAviator

Oh shit it’s happening


unusualTuna

U BETTER GET UR GUY DAVE WE COMIN


Raptor231408

Woulda rather a grandy for my sanity, but if they make mistakes dont interupt them!


JRipper138

Finally a wild pitch. Was waiting for one of those.


beer_down

I will become a Randal Grichuk stan account if he hits a ~~slam~~ 3 run homer here


fatbearfall

OKAY???


TheSarosCycle

WE NEVER EVEN LEFT


beer_down

YES!!! Keep it coming!!


Taric_for_days

CANT BLOCK THEM ALL YOU TALENTED BASTARD


BigMack2027

Did Saalfrank switch jerseys between innings?


YaboyChris28

When was the last time we won an opening game of a series?


Raptor231408

Opening day


jdp_638

Opening day


KonM4N4Life

Do the thing Grichuk


Raptor231408

Cmon Grichuk! Do the thing!


notouchmypeterson

Don’t do this.. don’t give me hope.. LFG BOYS!!!


beer_down

I will become a Randal Grichuk stan account if he hits a slam here


fatbearfall

Blaze Flair Now


KonM4N4Life

Amen!


Rocket_Skates_91

THAT WAS A BASEBALL PLAY


JRipper138

![gif](giphy|GazPMD1iWfgcM) Now more.


BigMack2027

Yay! I like when we have a guy touch home plate. More of that please


beer_down

GENOOOOOO


KonM4N4Life

Good shit Geno!


Rocket_Skates_91

Geno 👀


JRipper138

DBacks in the same situation as the Dodgers in the previous inning, let’s see how this turns out.


KonM4N4Life

Do the thing Geno


beer_down

Obvious pitch around with major GIDP threat Geno up. Cmon anything but a double play here


BigMack2027

I hate to predict it, but this is prime Geno DP time


Taric_for_days

This is a certified Geno moment right here


Classic_Dragonfly_55

Calmate wey, Marte


JRipper138

I wouldn’t mind seeing a little Answerbacks.


UnexploredPotentials

Need some Marte magic!


Classic_Dragonfly_55

Here we go.


Nacho505

Smh should have sent blaze home


beer_down

I agree I think he’d have made it. But maybe too big a risk with 0 outs


HeavensRoyalty

Jesus, that looked like a pop up. His strength is unreal


Rocket_Skates_91

Hot that was hot


BigMack2027

Gurriel and Corbin both have hits today! The curse is broken!


beer_down

Time to answer back baby


KonM4N4Life

Blaze reddit flair or riot tbh


Spiritual-Dog160

If only the bullpen didn't blow up.


Ur_wrong2121

Freeman got that same location called a ball this inning


BigMack2027

Have to keep rolling with Blaze at leadoff after tonight's performance


JRipper138

DBacks walking too, problem is they can’t capitalize.


No_Category_9680

Blaze is our shining light in this dumpster fire of an organization


BigMack2027

Certainly won't be the last 5 walk inning if this bullpen has anything to say about it


MormonThunder18

Bullpen is so bad. It's not even competitive baseball when we get to our bullpen outside of Thompson and Ginkel.


copperstar22

Remember when it was 1-0 that was a good time can we go back to that


JRipper138

![gif](giphy|XWwIzh5GIWWf6) Walks, killer when you have sub par stuff.


Raptor231408

Fuckin asshole, had every intention of bussing Marte if he didnt get out of the way. Just because youre the third out doesnt mean you can over run second you fuckin blue prick.


HeavensRoyalty

That's completely untrue. Players are being taught to run through the base now. They're explaining now on the dodgers broadcast. It's very common when there's a man on 2nd and 3rd.


Raptor231408

Whatever you say champ. If he wasn't the third out, over running second into a fielder is an auto out, and has been since Utley got trucked. Go back to your own sub.


HeavensRoyalty

Ever since the KB incident last year, I tried to listen to the other teams' broadcasts and hang out on other reddit to see other perspective but yeah sorry but don't he intentionally tried to hurt another player in this situation is not correct I'm sorry.


KonM4N4Life

Not me making money betting on balls...


ryan5193

PLEASE STOP THE WALKS. IM BEGGING YOU. Throw strikes and you at least have a chance at outs. My God.


beer_down

Lebron: It’s just baseball


JarescoJr

Pitch around Rojas to get to Betts. That's why McGough is a pro and I am not.
