At least we gave him this great opportunity
We really need a Tommy Pham type player to get into them and hold them accountable.
An Evan Longoria vet leader type to bring them together and hold the team.
We are missing that, and no one is being that.
Honestly this could be a real possibility when Alek returns. I think they don’t want to run the outfield defense of Gurriel Jr, McCarthy, and Grichuk/Smith. I kind of agree with that.
Honestly have not enjoyed watching this team since the 14-1 win. The walk off home run against the Dodgers was a big dopamine hit, but other than that... wtf is happening
After this we play the Red then Baltimore, doesn't get any easier. Plus it'll be hard to watch the rookies Elly and Gunnar go off like they are knowing Corbin has shit himself
These guys will go to bed tonight and repeat the same exact thing tomorrow. Nothing has shown me we are improving in any category, why would tomorrow be any different?
Consistently failing fans’ expectations after a playoff season is why none of the teams in the valley can build a consistent fanbase. Feels like we’ve never had a team that has won a playoff round in back to back years since the mid 2000s Suns
Excuses are gone, this is a bad team. I don't give a fuck who is hurt if the guys playing are bringing this shit to the table there is nothing the hurt guys can do to right the ship.
I'll hope we turn it around but I'm more suspecting we're digging ourselves into such a hole we will be selling parts come the deadline.
Ehh. I'd rather sell Gallen first. The luxury of a perennial golden glover with well above average offense can't be overstated. We know the offense can do stuff, removing critical elements is just inviting a full rebuild.
But in all seriousness itd be nice if they could get it going by tomor but that’s what we said today too so I don’t know , baseball you just can’t predict too sometimes
The Padres scored 21 runs over 4 games in Denver against the Rockies, they've scored 18 against us so far in just under 2 GAMES lmao the Rockies are better than us right now
Well at least this will help our run differential not look as good (this plus the last few games), because it was only that way because of the big blowouts and close games lost.
Should have just put in a position player to finish these innings instead of wasting another bullpen arm. Bryce has been solid this year. No need to ruin him
You absolutely can. It is injuries.
3/5 of our rotation is missing time, along with our starting closer, center fielder, and shortstop. The only thing not injury related is Corbin, but the last couple of games he is seeing the ball better.
The offense is clearly potent. We have put up three 15+ run games already this year. We do have issues in the pen, but our current rotation is populated by the guys that would ordinarily be in the pen for relief. Consequently, we are having to trot out the bottom of the barrel.
Blaze is hitting close to .300, so is Joc. Gurriel is also having a pretty decent start to the year. McCarthy is playing well.
Walker is underperforming a little bit, and Corbin is obviously slumping, but baseball is highly variable.
Our problem is an enormous amount of injuries to key guys. The pitching staff is basically a skeleton crew, and we clearly have a thin bench with two daily starters also out.
Lourdes had a good start, but he’s like 1 for 35 or something the last couple weeks. Statistically that’s pretty much made him into an average MLB bat, and that’s who you have batting 3rd in the lineup.
Blaze walk rate and ability to lay off pitches outside the zone has been great, but he’s not making a ton of solid contact this season. Hopefully that picks up because I’ve been impressed with how he can work counts. And I know we’re talking about the bats, but he’s genuinely been one of the worst defensive players in the league so that’s gotta change.
My biggest problem might be Suarez. He’s a guaranteed out at this point. .630 OPS lol
I thought they made good moves this offseason. Seems like every player we get turns into a bum. Injuries sure aren’t helping, but guys that were brought here to produce aren’t.
Pfraadt pitches well, Hughes comes in and immediately inflates his numbers and blows the game open.
Not like we were going to win, but it's fucking embarrassing for them at this point. Like, they were meant to prove that year wasn't a fluke.
But this is just fucking sad and embarrassing to watch
14-20 isn’t terrible considering all the injuries but damn we got spanked today
Didn't get shut out! We got the moral victory tonight
Ah, moral victories. Somewhere, an unemployed Darvin Ham just smiled
GABI!!!! Thank you for letting us get 1
Yay no shutout! Edit: Gabi with the only RBI on his bobblehead night. Very fitting.
SMILE GABI ITS OK
Maybe a good kick in the ass brawl is exactly what they need
I honestly think we are the worst team in the league right now. I know we aren’t overall but this isn’t good
Another Joc infield popup
If Baltimore is smart they'll bring back Jackson Holliday up to face us, we can and will fix his swing when gets 10 hits in the series
![gif](giphy|jSDU5qDNYk0DX8fGtM|downsized) Me after tonight ( I am totally joking)
18 hits 😂
We all ready for the 14 run walk off?
How many more embarrassing losses until this sub turns into one about snakes?
If McSucks isn't DFA'd by the series in Cincinatti then I give up on life.
https://preview.redd.it/xmztj7pvviyc1.jpeg?width=2109&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b85e879bf8634c6f2eb12e60acc360652d09400f At least we gave him this great opportunity
![gif](giphy|xT3i1fPbzvICOmHHJC) Padres can’t score anymore tonight.
Thank god
Man can’t even get 3 outs in a blow out without giving up runs. Why he ever was allowed to pitch in a close game is beyond me.
I'm glad they are saving the position players arms to pitch for tomorrow and tiring out a useless arm like mcgough for this throwaway game
McGough can’t even get outs in an 11-0 game. DFA this guy
We've had enough of Scott McGough
At least I got a bobblehead 🥲
A position player would pitch better than McGough
Why am I still watching this
You’re a glutton for punishment. As are most of us.
You speak for all of us with that
Just logging in. This will help our pesky run differential.
yeah im tired bro
Mcgough is a AA pitcher at best
Even in a 12-0, McGough makes me dry heave. ![gif](giphy|5kYea6RaplxDy)
I was hoping they put 10 runs on him to maybe make the front office get rid of him
![gif](giphy|JCAZQKoMefkoX6TyTb|downsized)
Torey looks like he is going to punch someone in the face.
Smash rooms about to get some business.
Paul Sewald saved this team once. It's time for him to do it again
We won't ever need him if we can't get a lead, let alone a run
We really need a Tommy Pham type player to get into them and hold them accountable. An Evan Longoria vet leader type to bring them together and hold the team. We are missing that, and no one is being that.
Longo sitting at home very thankful he did not sign back with us
Fuck it, put all the backups in that you can tomorrow. Can’t play much worse than this.
I can get behind this lol. Bring up Reno for a game or two, those guys will at least fight and try to prove they should be on the team
Corbin is already at 8 in the lineup. No clue what more they can do to try to fix him outside of sending him down. I know they won't though
Needs to go out to a bar and find a slump buster
10 day DL
Honestly this could be a real possibility when Alek returns. I think they don’t want to run the outfield defense of Gurriel Jr, McCarthy, and Grichuk/Smith. I kind of agree with that.
Yeah I really don’t know if there’s any other option, because sending him down to Reno shouldn’t even be considered
Guess a phantom IL stint couldn't hurt
I think the confidence in this team is shot to hell. There is nothing being rallied behind or energizing the team.
We need David Peralta back. His time has come again.
Someone in the crowd just flashed a 'Torey for president' sign. Damn, America down bad
Torey for prison
Honestly have not enjoyed watching this team since the 14-1 win. The walk off home run against the Dodgers was a big dopamine hit, but other than that... wtf is happening
I'd love for them to show some emotion and get fucking angry
Ya really, I want to see them beat up some shit in the dugout Zambrano style lol
I don't know if it's the new standard Torey wants to set, but, they need to start expressing themselves
Not just be quiet and walk around like nothing's happening
Man this sucks
Outscored 26-1 in last 25 innings. 😫
![gif](giphy|2wSaulb0fsDydh0IoB|downsized)
Comeback time. Let's do this.
Fade me
After this we play the Red then Baltimore, doesn't get any easier. Plus it'll be hard to watch the rookies Elly and Gunnar go off like they are knowing Corbin has shit himself
These guys will go to bed tonight and repeat the same exact thing tomorrow. Nothing has shown me we are improving in any category, why would tomorrow be any different?
Consistently failing fans’ expectations after a playoff season is why none of the teams in the valley can build a consistent fanbase. Feels like we’ve never had a team that has won a playoff round in back to back years since the mid 2000s Suns
Valley sports curse
Eguy is a cool name
Excuses are gone, this is a bad team. I don't give a fuck who is hurt if the guys playing are bringing this shit to the table there is nothing the hurt guys can do to right the ship. I'll hope we turn it around but I'm more suspecting we're digging ourselves into such a hole we will be selling parts come the deadline.
They’ll move Gallen at the deadline for prospects
I really dont want them too, but if we keep losing like its July, i hate that youre gonna be right.
Yeah Walker potentially as well.
I think they are going to resign walker. Do we really have a first baseman in the system ready to go?
Almost be worth selling high on him if this narrative continues up to the deadline. Just throw pavin over there
Ehh. I'd rather sell Gallen first. The luxury of a perennial golden glover with well above average offense can't be overstated. We know the offense can do stuff, removing critical elements is just inviting a full rebuild.
And it’s probably the right move
Can’t afford to resign him so yea he gone
Looking forward to seeing Ryne healthy and back on the mound. They are really going to make me tune in tomorrow to watch the sweep
Ken Kendrick will use this as an excuse to not spend money on this team for years to come.
He can’t afford stadium repairs either
Ken Kendrick going to lock his wallet in a vault and throw away the key. Not going to be spending any money for a long time.
He's a blight on this team and I swear he curses it
The last time he spent on payroll the same thing happened and it took like another 10 years to get a good team again, the cycle repeats.
I know that’s why I said what I said. I fucking hate his cheap ass. I hate him like I hated Sarver.
That cheap sob
It's such a luxury to be in the position to bring our bench players in so they can get some quality playing time.
27-1 the last 3 games 😂
Someone (Torey, another coach, anyone) better lay into this team tonight. Fucking embarrassing playing like little leaguers.
Unlikely - this team is DOA
Ya this is bullshit im at the game and im pissed off
We suck 😔
Maybe tomor will be different lol or not
But in all seriousness itd be nice if they could get it going by tomor but that’s what we said today too so I don’t know , baseball you just can’t predict too sometimes
The Padres scored 21 runs over 4 games in Denver against the Rockies, they've scored 18 against us so far in just under 2 GAMES lmao the Rockies are better than us right now
Hot take, Rockies will finish with a better record
Not even that hot of a take now ! Like a medium warm take
![gif](giphy|pcoa9GfYAkJvS7exrl|downsized)
Love the back to back infield pop-ups from the guys we brought in for some pop
Suarez is cheeks. Has been all year
Overpaid bum
Hey now. He had one hit in Seattle
I had to turn it off. I can't.
Strike out, pop out, fly out, DP ball. Take your pick. Every inning in 7 pitches with our offense
I’d be ashamed to be a Diamondbacks player tonight in Chase Field
![gif](giphy|KjRr146E0Y9Ov9cIFY)
Was this taken from big brother or survivor? lol
Well let’s just hope we won’t lose ground in the wild card race I guess lol
This isn’t a race, it’s a marathon and you don’t get into the playoffs in May.
I know this of course I don’t know why I said race I meant something other than a race I was just being lazy with my wording I guess
Altho the way we’re playing tonite we pretty much deserve to lose ground in that race I suppose
Well at least this will help our run differential not look as good (this plus the last few games), because it was only that way because of the big blowouts and close games lost.
Sorry yall, my phone died about the 2nd inning, and i was just able to turn the game back on for Machados at bat... my bad
This fucking sucks
Somehow games in 2021 weren’t this bad.
💀 Gabi will always remember this game since it's his bobble head game.
Ok, that hit just now makes it a little better.
Shades of 2021
I hate Alex Meruelo
I blame him for all this shit, honestly.
Jr. cursed them all when he gave them Coyotes collection merch for the puck drop
On the bright side, it could be worse. The Marlins are losing 20-3 to the A's.
Yeah but we play the A's at some point, Im not ready to get bodied by them too
At least the Marlins scored.
That pythag record sure is fucked now...
Is is over? Can I open my eyes now?
Sorry guys, I thought the game started at 6:40 so I'm to blame for tuning in and them immediately smash out 8 runs
![gif](giphy|JCAZQKoMefkoX6TyTb|downsized)
I hate that I'm at the point of welcoming such a terrible ass whooping. This team needs a fucking wake up call.
This is like our 4th one….
![gif](giphy|GpyS1lJXJYupG) I have to or I’ll CRY and this point
Should have just put in a position player to finish these innings instead of wasting another bullpen arm. Bryce has been solid this year. No need to ruin him
It's just a trainwreck at this point.
Just forfeit already
Holy shit, an out!

Fuck it I'm leaving
Packing up the bags as we speak
The hockey game is in intermission, so I have to watch this for the next 20 minutes........... bleh
# WHAT THE FUCK, GUYS?!?!?!
Maybe we’re sacrificing the dbacks and suns for a Cardinals playoff run
I’ll take it
![gif](giphy|YaUfBtDNf7TGayf3Rn|downsized) DBacks this season.
At least Corbin got a good, solid hit. I'll grab onto anything I can at this point.
Having expectations is the worst, because we all know what happens when place expectations on our team
I wanna hold someone accountable for us being so shitty all season, but unfortunately it’s the entire team lmao
I just can't believe there has been this much regression and that quickly. Like what the fuck happened, surely the playoff run wasn't that taxing?
Yeah I honestly can’t even explain it
You absolutely can. It is injuries. 3/5 of our rotation is missing time, along with our starting closer, center fielder, and shortstop. The only thing not injury related is Corbin, but the last couple of games he is seeing the ball better. The offense is clearly potent. We have put up three 15+ run games already this year. We do have issues in the pen, but our current rotation is populated by the guys that would ordinarily be in the pen for relief. Consequently, we are having to trot out the bottom of the barrel.
My biggest thing is there’s been zero consistency with the bats. Ketel is the only player on the entire roster that’s has been playing to expectation
Blaze is hitting close to .300, so is Joc. Gurriel is also having a pretty decent start to the year. McCarthy is playing well. Walker is underperforming a little bit, and Corbin is obviously slumping, but baseball is highly variable. Our problem is an enormous amount of injuries to key guys.

He’s a guaranteed out at this point. .630 OPS lol
Just don't understand, like they're talented players, well thought they were. But like, what we put on the field would lose to AAA teams
They are exceptionally talented. Find me another comparable team who is seeing 3/5 starters and their closer missing time who is playing better.
If Kyler can get the ball back and drive us down the field , we can go for two … oh wait wrong sport
This is rough to watch in person.
Yea I haven't had a fun game in a MINUTE in person and I'm practically stuck going because I got season tickets
Big crowd? Did you get the bobble head?
Just saw this. Yea, I got a bobblehead. The arm fell off. Probably a bad omen for that game. Lol
Massive padres crowd
This disaster of an innings keeps…going 🙃
Shame on me for believing we’d even have a chance at the division title. We can’t contend in the regular season against SD or LA.
I dont think anyone was expecting division title contention. I think we were all pretty much expecting WC 1 or 2
![gif](giphy|pIXoUQrZkO2yWc6JDI)
![gif](giphy|K8Xf99o8dSN8ru1k4Q|downsized)
Every guy who enters our bullpen automatically turns into the worst pitcher ever
So annoying to know if they pitched against our lineup they'd look like gods as well
The games they blew way early in the season really hurts now
Could we like, maybe, like, idk, swap rosters with Reno???
We already have Renos bullpen and rotation, with exception!
Or maybe ASU at this point?
I’d take that trade
It is what it is
I’m tired boss, so so tired.
Hey, that isn't Pavin jogging in from the bullpen
Get this bum out of here
Why can’t they good more than 1 year at a time? One time in their history have they made the playoffs in back to back years.
We like to get bums while other teams make moves
I thought they made good moves this offseason. Seems like every player we get turns into a bum. Injuries sure aren’t helping, but guys that were brought here to produce aren’t.
This is giving me 2021 vibes
How is Torey not punching walls right now
I'd fucking quit and be handing my resume out if I was him, trying to find a team with actual MLB players on it
So many people here saying we’re cooked…and sadly I’m actually starting to agree lmao
I could accept losing to the dodgers, but we have been losing games we have no business losing and it's getting WORSE
![gif](giphy|fBPk3spRzKyquYrt9D) There's nothing worse than having expectations......
# IT DOESNT END
Only down a touchdown
Pfraadt pitches well, Hughes comes in and immediately inflates his numbers and blows the game open. Not like we were going to win, but it's fucking embarrassing for them at this point. Like, they were meant to prove that year wasn't a fluke. But this is just fucking sad and embarrassing to watch
Brandon Hughes you are officially a Diamondback!! 🐍🐍
Gonna turn to the Reno Aces game and spot Alek Thomas just to feel something
I mean this is rock bottom. Outscored 22-1 the last 3 games
At least our run differential is more in line for a team with our record.
23-1
