umm.. Double your efforts, fellas 

@sampleSizeOfOne

Okay.

 

[Mill1634]

Are fans prepared for Smeltzer to go to the bullpen/DFA before Bundy does?

 

Because that is what will happen.

He was winding up on that throw like he wanted to throw it high and far out of the stadium — you probably thought the same thing. 

Honestly, two words come to mind with smeltzer’s demeanor and his newly acquired bulkiness. And they both start with R

not accusing him of anything, it’s just how it comes off

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Someone seems to have found the lost art of bunting.

[TJ CPA]

Smeltzer just needs the pressure of carrying our rotation to perform.

Lol! As I said, not accusing the man of anything

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That’s a tricky hop for Urshela. Guys a pro.

[Mill1634]

gotta get at least 1 or 2 back this inning with MadBum coming out for the 5th.

The defense is so bad it's knocked out the sound on Ballys. At least the picture came back...

Hasn't Smeltzer pitched well enough recently to get way more rope than Bundy has?

Damn 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sanchez efforts a double.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The batted ball stuff does seem to be going against the Twins tonight.

[Aggies7]

Miranda, oof-da

[Mill1634]

Give credit to Bumgarner. He got rocked super hard, but he got out of jams somehow, and only gave up 2 runs in 5 innings.

[Aggies7]

Smeltzer shockingly brought back out for the fifth, down 6-2. But pulled for the 5th, ahead by 3. 

[Mill1634]

The Twins field the bunt like my sister's softball team.

[Aggies7]

The d-backs can bunt. Well.

eh, not really. The chance of winning this game is extremely low. Much more important to protect a 3 run lead than to try to keep yourself in a game down 4.

Had Miranda let it go to Arraez, he may have been thrown out.

[Mill1634]

The Dbacks are giving me NL Royals vibes.

Not very good or talented, but extremely frustrating to play against.

Maybe I’m old school, but I would hope to god the manager isn’t conceding a 4 run game in the 5th inning
