Justin Steele showing us that dong problems are usually a flukey thing. He was nearly as snakebitten as Adbert last year, and this year he's been very fortunate.

 

Loving how much more aggressive he's been the last 3-4 starts though. 5 Ks and no walks through 2 will play

[UMFan83]

5 Ks in 6 batters for Steele (the 6th hit one to the wall that the wind kept in)

[Bertz]

Schwindel and Wisdom back to back dongs. Schwindel's was a cheapy but Wisdom's was an absolute dong

Is Mark Grace no longer employed by Marquee?

[UMFan83]

If feels like August 2021 all over again

[PackLandVA]

Is Mark Grace no longer employed by Marquee?

 

Grace is working with Bally Sports in AZ. Unless he was just a postgame guest after one of the games last weekend.

[UMFan83]

And Contreras leaves the game with a hamstring injury

[Bertz]

Hopefully precautionary. Looks fine on these replays, so fingers crossed for just a cramp.

[Tim]

Steele might just be decent.

[Bertz]

Steele might just be decent.

 

Yeah it's just the Dbacks, but damn two great outings in a row. The velo was still down at the end of this outing, but he was still sitting around 91 instead of dropping all the way down to 89 like he was earlier in the year.

[PackLandVA]

Hell of a play by Gomes.

[UMFan83]

I’m going to call these 5 IP, 0 ER, 7+ K starts a Rich Harden. Nice Rich Harden today Steele

Yeah, but a few years ago he was sharing time between the Dbacks and Cubs. Then he called his ex wife a dingbat on air and was otherwise not positively received, but I never heard anything about Marquee cutting ties with him. Of course they may have just quietly not renewed his contact.

I thought Effross deserved enough leeway to finish that inning.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Vargas should be released. Hell give Machado a 40 spot

[17 Seconds]

seiya has some weak ass at bats

[We Got The Whole 9]

We are 14/24 in steals. horsefeathering awful.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Impressive loss today

[CubinNY]

They have to DFA Simmons after this game.

[UMFan83]

well i guess the home heavy start to the schedule did not work out in our favor

[mias_tisg]

Is it reverse standings time yet?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Every good reliever we had just horsefeathers the bed
