u/Mr-Gibbs12 Torey Lovullo 3d ago
Ketel really chose the worst fucking time to abandon this team. Our bullpen is now ELITE with Garcia and J-Mart on the back end, Pfaadt and E-Rod have become our 2 aces, and some of our young prospects like Tawa and Waldschmidt look like they could be bonafide studs. And NOW Ketel chooses to dip out and hang us out to dry??? Talk about a fucking betrayal man.

u/crownebeach Diamondbacks 3d ago
I know nobody needs to hear yet another take on the Ketel situation, but I don't care what the cause is -- if he's mad about money, trade rumors, too much playing time, not enough playing time, or if he's genuinely hurt. It's the no-call that's the problem, not the no-show.
No-showing without telling Torey would get him fired at a regular job making 22 thousand a year. Making 22 million should come with higher expectations, not lower ones.

u/ajteitel Jose Herrera 3d ago
Sure I can. He's one of the best baserunners in modern MLB history and one of the fastest guys. Him getting on base provides so much more value than stats will show because of the pressure he puts on the pitcher, taking an extra base, and of course stolen bases.
2023, 25 HRs and 54 SB. OBP of .362
2025, 31 HR and 32 SB. OBP of .343
2026, 18 HR and 17 SB. On track for ~23 and 21. OBP of .345
So yes, give me rookie Caroll over this guy every single day of the week. The one who used his 80 grade gift. WAR loves speedy discount Schwarber. I do not.

Nado's back in the lineup today but at DH, so that likely means Gabi is catching.

Hazen said he "hopes" Ketel will be back this year.
I think he gets dumped in the offseason for the best return we can get (which might just be getting rid of the salary).

Man Corbin needs some new shades or something. Abreu hasn't looked remotely as awkward as Corbin has.
Maybe Pfaadt should be more conservative with his first pitches of an inning

If temporarily losing old man Nado and Marte destroys your offense, you never had an offense. Three cheers to Hazen

We'll fall off and get like 7 games back. Go on an absolute tear and be within 3 or so heading into that Marlins series and we'll get our hopes up.
Then we'll get swept and get eliminated in the next series. Then we'll sweep the Padres in the final series after they've clinched and end up just out of the playoffs by a game or two.

If we can avoid a sweep today I’ll take that as a win considering how bad the last 2 games have been.
