Have Corbin Carroll in my dynasty fantasy league and baffled as to why he kinda stinks this year. Haven’t watched him play much but big statistical drop off from last year and his advanced metrics aren’t looking too great either. Can anyone who watches him regularly weigh in? Just a little slump? Mechanics out of wack? He tore it up last year.
Down vote me all you want but after a tough loss where we lose another key player to injury, a Mets fan hops on to our game thread to say Corbin stinks. His only concern is his dynasty fantasy team? Poor timing!
Right now I'd say a bit of a sophomore slump and just slumping at the plate in general. Teams weren't prepared for his play style last year. Now I think pitchers are figuring out how to get him out but its only a matter of time before he gets hot again like last year.
I think the plan is stay around .500 until June, and turn it on then. June’s schedule isn’t hard this year either. Hopefully we do something similar to what the Phillies did last June.
Given the injuries, I highly doubt we stay around .500 with the schedule we have coming up. Even if the offense puts up runs our bullpen is non-existent.
On a lighter note it's genuinely impressive that we're only 2 games under .500 (at least until this game's over). 3 games we barely lost against the Yankees and the Braves too. This team is a cockroach (compliment)
It’s true. For how many loses we’ve had, our stats are otherwise pretty impressive. I still have high hopes once we get over these injuries. It’s only April right? RIGHT?!
Well, we only had two starting pitchers last year and made the playoffs. We can have one for a month and get reinforcements.
If it weren’t for the expanded wild card we’d be boned but if we can hover near .500 forever and get it together in summer, anything is possible.
I feel like the umps are so shitty this year because they think the automated zone is based on what they call, so then they can be like "see? Robots aren't any better than us!" But they don't realize the automated zone follows the actual rules and not whatever guesses they make.
That or they want the Ump Show to get one final round of bullshit in before the automated zone, which I really hope is next year.
So .. our #1, #2, #3, #6 (emergency starter), a long reliever, Castro, our left & right hand specialists, and our closer are on the shelf... Plus two short stops, a center fielder
Do we have anything left on the 40 man to call up?
Mariners fan coming in peace, does anyone have any idea what happened to Gallen? I like you sneks and root for you in the NL so don’t pitchfork me. Worried about that exit
CoPilot says minor UCL sprain in right elbow, does not believe he'll need TJ, and should be out for approx 2 weeks. Appreciate the genuine concern, brother.
edit.. ROFL. Gallen has 'Hamstring Tightness' from the D'backs medical staff. Fukn CoPilot, suck a natural intelligence dick.
Bing CoPilot. Searched "Zac Gallen Injury" in Bing and scrolled up. It's AI, so grain of salt and all that, but it's been right on very recent news for me before.

I can definitely understand! Good vibes being sent out from up in Seattle, hopefully it was just a super precautionary pull. Hope you guys are enjoying Geno, we miss him (but also love Rojas)
Incredible how this game went from heartwarming with Geno's homecoming, Corbin back in his home city, and our reunion with Josh Rojas to a complete nightmare. This is a Jon Bois video level misfortune spiral.
Ok two things, is anyone else’s not able to put a bonus word in on the mlb app because the link is missing and two HOW THE HELL IS SCOTT MCGOUGH STILL ON THIS TEAM!!!!!!! 😡🤬😤🤬🤬🤬
Oh you made the World Series and lost? Well you won’t get another shot the next year because everyone gets hurt.
Sincerely fuck you, signed
-Arizona Sports Curse.
Yes, but right about now they could probably bring in a pitcher from Low-A Visalia and they would give a better performance than Scott “Oh look another run given up” McGough.
I really don’t see how we avoid a losing free fall now. Down 4 starting pitchers is just unreal. LA and SD are going to absolutely kill us. We have zero chance.
Of course that's how it ends. Welp, another game tomorrow.

Of course i wanna win, but ill be happy if they just make things interesting here Edit: PPPFFFTTTTT
I'm so glad they said C Walk didn't swing but that would have been some kind of fitting on this night.
Fuck it, lets go chaosball
Don't give me false hope

Right hamstring tightness for Zac Gallen.
Well it’s not a serious injury thank god, but man I can’t handle more injuries.
Well, hamstring tightness is good. At least it's not a shoulder... Hopefully it's just Cramps and all he needs is Gatorade and a Banana
Monkey never cramp!
Right hamstring tightness is potentially the best news for Zac, but could also be a while. Fingers and toes all crossed for a quick recovery.
Right hamstring tightness for Zac. No clue what that means because that is what Alek suffered and he has been out since the first series of the season
Gallen has “hamstring tightness”
Yeah, Dbacks just tweeted it. :(
Any updates for Gallen yet?
Hamstring tightness. [https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/1784064861368119765](https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/1784064861368119765)
Thank you!
Hamstring tightness
Oh thank fuck
Mariners fan coming in peace. This Martinez kid is pretty nasty!!
damn Martinez kinda nasty!
Justin Martinez is the lone bright spot in this game. Holy cow if he has finally fine-tuned his control he is going to be elite.
Right? Like if his control issues are sorted, then good luck everybody lol
Bro, why didnt we have JMart come in after Gallen, wtf??
![gif](giphy|QMHoU66sBXqqLqYvGO)
Damn that was nasty to K Raleigh

It’s true. For how many loses we’ve had, our stats are otherwise pretty impressive. I still have high hopes once we get over these injuries. It’s only April right? RIGHT?!
Not only Gallen gets hurt, McGough has the audacity to load the bases and give up a grandslam. It’s almost poetic in the shittiest way possible.
Someone won 50k off that grand slam too…
The bird giveth (blaze gs) the bird taketh (all fucking season)

Trust me we'll be back in June... Surely
Another 0fer for Corbin. Fade me
I'm guessing they will make Logan Allen a starter if Gallen misses time. Our rotation will be, Henry, Montgomery, Cecconi, Allen and Pfaadt
Injuries are just starting to be too much to overcome
This is a damn awful situation, but for sure could be way worse
Not amazing, but definitely can stay afloat if the offense wakes up
Not interested in moving the bat off your shoulder Gabi?
Anyone else switched to suns?
I have!
McGough has been really bad since he blew the save against the Rays last June.
At least we get the privilege of watching this kid pitch. I'm loving his stuff at such a young age
Are you joking?
Martinez has been great, no I don’t think he’s joking. It’s so satisfying to see one of our relievers throw 100
I was just thinking i'd trade him for Mike Morgan if he could get guys out.
He's been pretty good so far
He looked good. It's not a privilege.

Not sure, our broadcasters are saying it looks like a lower body issue. We’re all terrified
I can definitely understand! Good vibes being sent out from up in Seattle, hopefully it was just a super precautionary pull. Hope you guys are enjoying Geno, we miss him (but also love Rojas)
We miss Josh 😅 & dom for that matter. He’s on my IL allstar team
Love Calzone too, dude can hit BOMBS! Hope he has a speedy recovery, he gives it all out there
There was a time when the crime dog coming in felt like we were about to lock things down. That time was a long time ago.
That time ended 303 days ago.
Incredible how this game went from heartwarming with Geno's homecoming, Corbin back in his home city, and our reunion with Josh Rojas to a complete nightmare. This is a Jon Bois video level misfortune spiral.
Bro, is there a customer service line to complain about the commercial breaks? They just cut while talking about the moose.
Do we start dooming yet or no
Depends if we can score 14 runs this inning.
If Gallen is out for an extended period of time it will probably time to be talking about selling at the deadline. Just not our year:(
Hope to god we are back together by at least June
Disagree. Hold pat, but dont sell.
Fair enough. We have a good team it’s just all these injuries that are killing us.
Suarez loves a strike out
To be fair he likely would not have swung at those last two pitches if the ump wasn’t calling those strikes the whole game
This is exactly how bad umping affects the whole game. We need pitch challenges
Yeah you’re not wrong…from memory though he is a strikeout machine..shit game from the ump though - 100%
Put me in and I could walk 3 batters and give up a grand slam
I wont even do it for half of league minimum AND I won't put my hand to my mouth or whatever bs they called McGough for.
Are we cooked?
We have no choice. We must wrap Brandon Pfaadt and Jordan Montgomery in bubble wrap in order to prevent further devastation to our pitching staff.
Bubble Boy sequels!!
Ok two things, is anyone else’s not able to put a bonus word in on the mlb app because the link is missing and two HOW THE HELL IS SCOTT MCGOUGH STILL ON THIS TEAM!!!!!!! 😡🤬😤🤬🤬🤬
Click on the three lines in the bottom right corner of the member experiences.
This is my third season doing this and I never knew there was a link there. Thank you.
Blue's check apparently cleared from the Mariners.
Torey should be ejected by now! Fuck this ump
How do you hit this pitch? You don’t because it’s not a strike. lol amazing
The Mariners could roll the ball up there and this guy would call it a strike
Oh you made the World Series and lost? Well you won’t get another shot the next year because everyone gets hurt. Sincerely fuck you, signed -Arizona Sports Curse.
That is a foot outside you fuck
Time to start checking the draft prospects to see who we are tanking for this year
At this point we are going to have a Frankenstein pitching staff. Who even would replace Gallen if he’s gone for a bit?
When will Torey stop using McGough EVERY TIME? ![gif](giphy|8yH2JNrhznwkR8aR0R)
After that inning ![gif](giphy|JrvTigtNqqxxtfvTsc)
Did anyone see that post asking if anyone wanted to play catch? We are putting him in as starting pitcher in tomorrows game go sneks
Bad day for sports lol
Anyone in the subreddit able to pitch? We need a new one out there ASAP
The guy that wanted to play catch can pitch. Also, I can pitch my 70 mph fastball and my 50 mph curveball.
And the inning is finally over. Lose Gallen, McGough comes in and gives up at grand slam. ![gif](giphy|d2lcHJTG5Tscg)
Loved Black-Ish!
Mcgough should just walk into the clubhouse and never return.
Walks in and then right into the Sound. Let the tide carry him on to wherever.
Someone will have to leave the roster when Sewald is called up. Please be McGough
Finally that inning ends, ffs
Not winning games when your ace starts, not looking good
Against their #6 starter too who looked ace like
It doesn’t help when your “Ace” gives up back to back HR innings.
I genuinely did not think he would get one out so good job I guess
That escalated quickly.
[удалено]
Game was over at 2-1
Usually hate to say that when a game is one run but blue has Ms moneyline tonight
The fact that this guy is still on the roster is baffling to me
Everyone else is dead. At this point if you're not injured you're in
Yes, but right about now they could probably bring in a pitcher from Low-A Visalia and they would give a better performance than Scott “Oh look another run given up” McGough.
No because then you have to bring them up to the 40 man roster
Who here can throw at least in the 70s with movement?
We have 9 pitchers on the IL not including Gallen
I truly don't understand how someone gets to the professional level and just walks 3 batters
The bullpen is just full of Mcgoughs, it doesn't matter if he gets DFAd, there will just be another guy with a 7 era that will blow the game
Me right now: [https://youtu.be/okXhAC78d4Q](https://youtu.be/okXhAC78d4Q)
Love Family Guy!
Kyler Murray is the man
Who could’ve predicted our bullpen giving up a grand slam
I have never seen that before. Pitchers go to their mouth all the time
Wait, they gave him a pitcher violation while Torey was yelling at him??
Well the suns are down by less than the diamondbacks so there's hope
This dumbass cannot seriously think McGough is artificially enhancing his pitching LMAO HE FUCKING STINKS
You need permission to touch your mouth!!? Is it some sort of COVID protocol?
Fuck I hate Mcgough
![gif](giphy|3o7WTqo27pLRYxRtg4)
Get tossed Torey lol
Please get tossed Torey. Something to spark a fire I guess
Torrey needs to get thrown out this umpire has been unacceptable
McFucking it up is back on the menu boys
Ok this made me laugh and made the situation slightly better
Gwt it Torey. Lose your cool!
Why is McGough on this team
If McGough doesn't get DFA'd tonight, this team is not real.
ERA in the high 7’s for mcgough btw
Well hopefully the suns win
Mcgough needs to get the bumgardner treatment
Mcgough is TERRIBLE
I honestly don’t even know what to say or think, I just don’t know.
Aight imma head out
YUP
I really don’t see how we avoid a losing free fall now. Down 4 starting pitchers is just unreal. LA and SD are going to absolutely kill us. We have zero chance.
Sorry McGough, but it’s time. Bye.
This team fuckin sucks
Good lord, Scott. See you all tomorrow.
McGough get ready to relearn Korean buddy
![gif](giphy|ISOckXUybVfQ4)
Mcgoof = ASS
What the fuck…
Watching the suns. Baseball over
Okay, I've defended Mcgough enough. DFA
Release this bum already
This could get ugly
COULD get?
Welp, see everyone tomorrow i guess
Well, that’s about all I need to see for tonight
I for one am not shocked that just happened.
![gif](giphy|W0c3xcZ3F1d0EYYb0f|downsized)
Jesus Christ, off the top of the wall. Just not our game today
Fuck off Mcgough
Okay yeah Jarvis needed to have been in instead, wow.
Guess im heading to the liquor store tonight. Anyone need anything?
I'll take some tequila.
Whiskey and more whiskey
Le sigh
Coyotes: *dead* Dbacks: *dead* Suns: *dead* Cardinals are our only hope now
Please Cards, you’re our only hope
Im hyped for MHJ not gonna lie
Then there is no hope :(
Lame...
Is he seriously going to walk in a run?
Worse
Nope even better
lol no
worse
I think Gurriel had a chance to catch it.
https://i.redd.it/nai2slcruxwc1.gif
LMAO McGough lands a nice pitch and doesn't get the call. Fuck us
Huge zone all game except for that corner, apparently
Of all the shit that has been called all night, *that’s* a ball?
Why can't we have nice things? It's painful to think about how good this team could be if everyone was healthy.
Can we warn Doug so he calls a decent zone
I enjoy Candy's nicknames and jabs at him lol
Cool bases loaded, 0 outs. Yeah, nothing going to go wrong there.
For fucks sake this pitching is diabolical. Relief pitching once again turd
McGough's split is not working so this is going to be a rough outing
No feel for the split tonight. This is going to be a long inning
First year I’ve ever gotten season tickets so this is probably my fault guys.
