Granted, there was some excitement, but in the end it was yet another sad day in Phoenix. So sad, that even AJ Pollock now feels sorry for us: “You wouldn’t wish that on anyone,” Pollock said.
Well, AJ, it is not like we don’t owe the situation not to ourselves. The team can grind whatever it wants, as Josh Reddick mentioned post-game, but Lovullo was clear when he mentioned: “I think they had 17 baserunners through five innings. That’s unacceptable.” Torey’s comments actually made sense until he started talking again about “we have to follow game plans”.
Worse news is that Lovullo pulled Eduardo Escobar (VanMeter shifted to third in yesterday’s game) because of right quad tightness and he needs to get imaging done this Monday.
