DBacks had at least 5 players hit 20 HR last season with top rated offense and the media asked how could Torey be judged with those arms?! š± (missed playoffs)
This year most of those same arms are elite MLB pen + starter combo and now how could Torey be judged with those bats?!

Itās funny to me that people love pointing out how Perdomo, Marte and Carroll had down years offensively as yet another excuse for Torey falling short and having egregious situational hitting metrics.
So letās ignore how much Moreno and Arenado outperformed offensively = a wash
āThis year is probably his best year,ā Diamondbacks president and CEO Derrick Hall on manager Torey Lovullo.
Hall told @Bickley_Marotta that it is not cut-and-dry that the D-backs need to make the postseason for Lovullo to be back.

Unfortunately itās pretty apparent that Jaxson Dart got himself injured. Tough lesson to learn. QB1 would be playing this week if he climbs the pocket when back foot plants at Giants 46 yd line.

On second thought, I fully understand why Ketel Marte decides not to bother going to the ballpark from time to time. If Torey is just going to take the bat out of Kettyās hand as the walkoff threat then why bother?!
LMFAO
Season ā ļø
I need a former gm to explain why this Marte annual disappearance doesnāt qualify as conduct detrimental to team to let Dbacks out of Ketelās contract @ajpierzynski12

The way the #dbacks play tomorrow will tell you whether the season is a wrap. If this inexplicable loss lingers itāll show up tomorrow night. Must win!

at least five games this season #dbacks bullpen blanked a team in 10th only to watch offense fail miserably to execute basic situational hitting where one does not even require an actual hit.
Itās not like those games would not be the difference in wild cardā¦ oh wait

I know a few podcasts that can straight up get it tomorrow for how they talked about my NY Giants

In one swing, Geno equals the total number of runs the #dbacks have scored in the month of September.
But we didnāt need him with those strikeout numbers right Hazen?
Still looking forward to those ābetterā waiver options @Gambo987 told us AZ was banking on.

Once again the .230 gotta-have bat (Nootbaar) makes an unproductive out for a team averaging 1 run/game dating back to Cubs series.
Trusted like heās a .280 gap hitter instead of forced to bunt in front of Nado.
Canāt wait for #dbacks to get blanked the next 5 innings š

I need these types of questions from @Gambo987 when @BurnsAndGambo has Torey on Fridays:
-why arenāt you playing small ball in early innings to force the issue on offense?
-what is the benefit of playing Kepler as a lame duck over Lawlar on a consistent basis?

Ketel Marte has proven himself selfish through the years. Fine. Can live with selfish diva superstar.
Cannot condone lack of respect.
Ketel does not respect his teammatesā sacred spaces - he brings his posse.
Ketel does not respect the rules - he plays by his own.
See yaāš¼
There's not a unanimous sentiment among D'backs players regarding Ketel Marte, says @Ken_Rosenthal.
"It kind of rubbed salt in the wound when he appeared in the casino, in the eyes of some."

Is @lifeisgreatsut at the dbacks game wearing a Johnny Bench jersey?

NFL Media: Jaxson Dart is prone to concussions.
Jaxson Dart: āpuzzledā by blue medical tent frequency
Evidence: all of the @Giants plays that a spotter pulled Jaxson Dart off the field for concussion evaluations. (Wsh being so bad it was clipped twice)

So when does it become Toreyās fault he creates losses out of wins by stubbornly sticking with predictably struggling / awful players? #dbacks #firetorey
