Reno Aces and Dbacks on fire is a thing of beauty after years of pains and tears
I truly believe we will be back at the World Series
The Dbacks spent 130 Million for Monty and Erod and then found out that they aren't the type of pitchers they want.
If the Dbacks would have known a couple months earlier that the blueprint is to get as many Roger Beshens Football SLider guys and spend the big money on hitting they NEVER would have got Monty and Erod who aren't RBFS guys. Monty actually threw that RB football slider to 6 guys and struck out 4 with it and he doesn't want to throw it anymore! Monty has a 70% whiff rate with that RB football slider and a 000 batting average and he wont throw it anymore!! If Erod or Monty pitch in the playoffs they will be losing or already lost the game.
Monty has had a poor attitude since he came here. It’s clear he didn’t want to be here and he’s had a “poor me” attitude since the start. He’s still making the most money on the team by like 12mil per year. No ones going to feel bad for you. At this point I hope he doesn’t take his option and rides off into the sunset.
Jordan is becoming more of a distraction at this point. It sucks to say.
Dback's will coast into playoffs and then it's going to be all about the pitching. There's not going to be 6 runs scored against, Cease, King, Wheeler., Glasnow, Flaherty who all throw the RB football slider. Everyone remembers Jon Gray and Josh Sborz last year mowing down the dbacks with that RB Football SLider. Every year it's the same outcome whoever throws the RB Football Slider the best wins the World Series.
The Dbacks just learned about this blueprint very recently and never would have went after Monty and Erod. Neither of them are going to be in a meaningful game in this 2024 playoffs a total waste of 130 Million. (Monty, Erod contracts)
The Dbacks right now are on a hit parade, an amazing hit parade that helped them get into the playoffs but it's the lock down bullpen that's the real important thing when the playoffs begin. In the coming weeks it will be clear who will be the starting 3 in the playoffs. ERod will not be starting in the playoffs, he doesn't have the nasty RB football slider stuff the others have. That 80 M was a HUGE mistake.
Is anyone from the Dbacks going to come out and say they approved the Erod and Monty signings for 130 Million?
Is anyone going to say GInkel, Puk, Martinez, Thompson, Pfaadt, and others throw the Roger Beshens football slider and that's the kind of pitcher we want?
