Sorry but I am a poor loser. I could not find it within myself to suck it up and finish what I was working on after that loss to the Giants on Friday night.
People who dog Muncy are eating crow now.
Outman 4 for his last 46 with 17 Ks.
Yoiks.
Is Pages our center fielder going forward? Gulp. According to fangraphs defensive ranking our center field defense is ranked 19th, our shortstop is 18th, our second base is 9th and our catcher is 10th.
I regurgitate, which means to repeat, this team is built to score.
Interesting fact:
2020 draft was reduced to 5 rounds due to Covid.
The players we picked in those 5 rounds now make up 60% of our rotation.

Congratulations to Edwin Jimenez, last night’s HPU. In his 2nd season, he has quickly moved up my list of the league’s worst umpires. Talk about flipping coins back there.
It is what it is with Treinen but his job was made tougher by 2 misses strike calls in the 9th.
Umpire Scorecard had him with 20 missed pitch calls. TWENTY.
74% called strike accuracy. So, if we had the Challenge System in place, which one of his 20 blown pitch calls would be challenged? 5? 10? All 20? How about the ABS full-time to fix this bullshit? And run off Edwin Jimenez and his useless brother Emil while you’re at it.
D-Backs get Gallen back.
Wow, they score four to take the lead. It looks like bullpen time. Glasnow was not on his game today. This shows me one thing, they definitely need to trade for a starting pitcher either before the deadline, or in the next week or so. Biggio can leave anytime.
Wow, what an inning!!! 7 runs. 10 for 19 RISP tonight. Rojas now hitting .297, and he drove in 4 runs. Who says we need a SS?????????
