GDT 10/24/23 Arizona Diamondbacks (Pfaadt) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Suárez, R)

You have to walk Carroll here.

It would seem so

[bkox]

Closing time for the Phillies. They're down two runs in the seventh. Zack Wheeler is making his first relief appearance since 2010, his first year in professional baseball.

So JA (out "best" pen arm) was a complete bust and comes up less than small somehow

[Patchmk88]

This game is over. Horribly played and horribly managed. Nothing you can do about the first run or the last run (except may not have the outfield playing in when the single doesn’t hurt you), but the middle two runs were totally avoidable.

[Aquapong]

We’re done. The Dbacks have played far better fundamentally than we did the last 4.66 games. We’ve got way to many cold players right now. Thompson never made moves that needed to be made.

[zambonir]

I don't know why the announcers think Wheeler is going to be the last pitcher. I mean, it would be great if he was (so long as the Phillies also score some runs) but Strahm seems likely for the 9th.

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

You can't double up Carroll even with the infield in. Walking him was the only reasonable choice, but no...

[bkox]

So let me rant about something besides the Phillies. I despise Christmas commercials before Halloween

[Brashin]

Im not sure what we are going to get from Wheeler, but again it means nothing when our offense keeps going 1-2-3 in order every friggin inning

[Patchmk88]

Yup they suck almost as much as Thompson’s decisions this series.

[zambonir]

Wasn't a Game 7 though. And unfortunately Thomson is the one making the bad choices this time, not Melvin.

[zambonir]

I mean striking him out was a legit possibility but...

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

Not today, he is too hot.

[JaxBill]

Last week, Lowes had already shoved Halloween decorations off to the side for Christmas decorations. Damn that big Eastern syndicate.

[dicemen99]

DBacks have pitched around our hot hitters every time they are in a spot to drive in a run.

Meanwhile Thompson just let Carroll rake us.

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

Schwarber is semi hot, but nobody else is, at this point.

[Brashin]

Yeah I think our pitchers are told to go for the punchout no matter how hot a batter is whereas the DBacks are fine to pitch around our hot hitters. Right now though we need our friggin bats to show the hell up. No more going down in order we need to get the crowd back into this game.

[Docs]

What about Marsh? He’s our best hitter

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

They aren't pitching around him and nobody gets on base before.
