2K24: Arizona Diamondbacks

[Sour Masher]

I'm worried about Walker. Forearm tightness is never good. No idea why they let him finish the inning. I'm hoping that is a good sign and not them letting him get more hurt.

Walker says this morning he is okay, but you never know until he throws hard again if his arm is right.

Robbie Ray: 4 2/3 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 3 ER, 11 K. What a line.

If I had to guess one pitcher in baseball that posted that line, I'd probably pick Ray, though it would make more sense if it was 5 BB and 3 hits.

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2018/05/09/arizona-diamondbacks-stadium-county-approves-chase-field-deal/594820002/

The Arizona Diamondbacks can leave Chase Field and end the team's 20-year residence at the downtown Phoenix stadium as early as 2022, Maricopa County leaders decided Wednesday.

The county Board of Supervisors passed the agreement 4-1 a week after making the deal public, ending a longstanding lawsuit. It allows the team to immediately start looking for another home in exchange for dropping its demand for the county to pay up to $187 million in stadium upgrades.

So, for those who need SB: Dyson in line for more AB with Pollock out?

He burned me pretty bad when Souza was out...no thanks for me.

He’s always been exposed with extended playing time. I wouldn’t be surprised if they called up Brito or even signed someone like Ethier to see if they can catch lightning in a bottle.

Talk about stoooopid:

On Friday, Souza re-aggravated the pec injury that cost him 6 weeks. They said it was minor. He sits out three days before appearing as a PH last night. Good news, right? Today, they placed him back on the DL and now he’s expected to miss at least 3 weeks. LOL.

seriously Zack Godley???

that's gonna leave a mark.

I'm worried about Godley. FB velo is down some. Results aren't there. Anyone have any insight as to what is going on with him?

Corbin's FB velocity is down too. Humidor??

so with Souza and Pollack back, this is another 4 for 3 OF spots with both Peralta and Jay out there. I know the popular thought is Jay becomes the 4th OF but with the others being injury-prone I can see this becoming the same headache model in Cincy, Milwaukee and LA.

I agree. In a NL only league, though, I still hold onto Jay. All three of those other guys have extensive medical histories; I'd not be surprised to see Jay get nearly full-time ABs in that OF.

I agree with that. He may well play more than any of the other guys. The question is will he play well......

That's a legitimate question. I think he's a significant asset in an OBP league; he'll give you a good to great OBP and a decent run count. For a BA league, he's better as a platoon player than regular since he's very good against RHPs but nearly a cripple against LHPs (though his walk rate remains high).

But he has no power and doesn't run much anymore. As a result, I'd want him in a deep NL-only league and in a very deep mixed league (say, like 18-20 teams).
