Midseason 2016 record prediction: 70-92

Finish 4th.

 

[death2redemptions]

Just a few easy moves could probably add 2-3 wins to our season
1. Send Shelby Miller to the minors for an undisclosed period of time
2. Move Robbie Ray to the bullpen and use as the long relief role. Send one of the knuckleheads to the minors
3. Call up Archie Bradley & Braden Shipley to replace Miller & Ray

Another pitiful D-Backs game...

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Way too streaky of a team...

[death2redemptions]

You know your team is a joke when you give up a 3 run HR to the opposing pitcher...

 

[death2redemptions]

3 straight innings with multiple runners in scoring position with only 1 out and they fail to come through every time. This is classic D-Backs baseball right here.

 

[death2redemptions]

Goldschmidt, the biggest disappointment of this team, still can't hit.

 

[death2redemptions]

It's a typical Goldy day, strikeout, double play, weak pop out.

 

[RStadlerASU22]

It's crazy how non-factor he is still.

Ryan

 

[death2redemptions]

2nd extra base hit given up to the opposing pitcher...this is ridiculous.

 

[RStadlerASU22]

They need to pull this game out... More importantly SF needs to slow the hell down.

Unfortunately I don't see either happening.

 

[death2redemptions]

So we hand out a couple hundred million dollar contract, trade away our future and somehow end up a worse team than last year. Imagine that.

Chip Hale & Dave Stewart need to both be fired.

I hate this team but for some reason I continue to watch. I must be a glutton for punishment.

 

[death2redemptions]

Singles, walks, weak groundouts, pop ups & double plays are pretty much all you can expect out of Goldy these days. It is very concerning.

 

[death2redemptions]

We've been outscored 25 to 8 this series...pathetic.

Well Shelby Miller might be going on a DL stint (for knuckledragging, Jordan lol) so that's good news. Always nice to have an addition by subtraction!

I pray this is true! No room for knuckle draggers on this team...

 

[death2redemptions]

Thank the lord, Shelby Miller to the DL.

De La Rosa also placed on the 15 day DL.

O'Brien called up. Collmenter reactivated (looks like he'll take Miller's place...dumb, dumb, dumb) and then a couple worthless relief pitchers added to the team.

Bradley not reactivated. I guess they'd rather have Collmenter "smh*.

I thought the same, but just a temp solution, according to Hale. Archie starting Sunday, some guy named Edwin Escobar starting Monday. I assume Leone and Bracho both go back down at that point - or Collmenter if he's complete garbage.

He also called RDLR's injury a "strained UCL." Out at least a month - but for a guy that's already had one TJ in his career, can't be a good sign. Of course, just as Rubby was starting to put his crap together.
