I don’t even know what to do next inning.

I’d probably go Kimbrel against the righties.

Marte and Carroll may come up again; has to be against Alvarado.

Jesus, what the hell could Topper have been thinking here? Damn lucky that didn't cost the game.

Also Dominguez was in a groove.

Pulling him to go to Soto was just poor.

[BelmontShore]

Kerkering's fastball has movement. I blame JT for calling all those early sliders before Kerkering got settled. Let the kid throw fastballs to the corners to get loose, get ahead, then throw sliders.

He got his outs on fastballs.

Overmanaging. Felt the same. Dominguez had gotten himself righted. Let him go.

Yep. Also he throws 98. Especially after yesterday. Everyone was dialed waiting on sliders; would have thought maybe he worked the fastball first but JT happens

[BelmontShore]

Phillies swing out of the zone much more than the DBacks do. Infuriating.

[BelmontShore]

I don't understand the inability to throw strikes.

[awfulstack]

Slow grounder.

Alec what are you doing? Make him throw to 1st.

[BelmontShore]

Swinging out of the zone keeps you in pitcher's counts.

Shit. That ball was so close to hitting the 3B bag.
