Padres rookie pitcher has been dominant so far. Came in with a 1.91 ERA. Struck out 11 last night. But after McNeil. Alonso and maybe Conforto there hasn't been enough production.

The D'Backs kind of screwed him there. They didn't hire him because they thought he was a wife beater which wasn't the case. 13 hours ago, Gugny said: Not as his first gig.

Honestly I'd just like to see us have a manager with some personality for a change. I mean since Bobby V I can't remember a fiery type manager here. The closest thing was Jerry Manuel and his colorful press conferences. Edited May 7, 2019 by Another Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Diamondbacks said it was because he didn't disclose his two arrests when they point-blank asked him in the final interview if there's anything in his past they needed to know about. Why they didn't do a background check before hiring him, I do not know... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Looks like Lowrie may return as early as Friday. According to the article below he'll get playing time at 3B over Frazier, J.D. Davis and Broxton are 'candidates to depart'. It would be a bold move by VW to cut ties with Frazier, but my guess is they'll kick that can down the road and option Davis instead. https://nypost.com/2019/05/08/jed-lowries-return-to-the-mets-lineup-is-imminent/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxton should be in Syracuse because McNiel is now turning into a full blown outfielder. I'm done with Frazier "talk"...he's gone. When I see the post game interviews..I see a happy faces on guys like Alonso's..Todd's is a bitter freeze... smirk. I 'm not so sure if a team wants to deal with us for a deal involving both Smith and Frazier..Frazier being the garbage in the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best home first inning in 40 years. Wheeler strikes out 11 but gives up 9 hits. Not sure what to make of that, maybe just a sign of the times. The positive for me is he went 7 and the pitch count was probably around 110. He used to routinely get to that number in 5 innings or less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
