Diamondbacks (Rodriguez) vs Brewers (Sproat): 4/29/26, 6:40pm

[RobertCrawley]

Jones with his .125 batting average challenges a ball that was clearly a strike.

Jones is not good

Thats being polite......your mom would be proud.

Why is this moron challenging a call at all. As if there will be any difference to his at bat?! That's grounds for a benching. Get outta here with that. 

[jason21nl]

Again, the challenges need to be valued more.  You should never be out of challenges in the 4th inning.  They should also be reserved for guys who have a clue.

And shouldn't be challenging strike calls.

Sproat is the million dollar arm, 10 cent brain guy. Send him back to the minors to learn how to pitch. Why keep running him and his 7 ERA out there. Bring up Crow or Henderson

Just don't agree.  He's two starts removed from going 6 2/3 and giving up 1 run against the Blue Jays.  I'm ok with letting him work through things here.

[trwi7]

Jones using our last challenge on something he was clearly going to lose is certainly a choice.

[yfinn6]

What's he going to do, win the challenge and then fly out weakly to CF? Just a horrible move. 

[BarremlensTSSC]

I get triggered whenever Mark starts talking about "interesting Summers".  

[jason21nl]

And for the love of God, just play Mitchell!!!

[SomewhereInTime]

Greg Jones should be immediately benched and shipped back to the minors after the game.

Play anyone not named Jones.

[RobertCrawley]

Joey O should get a lighter bat and just try to get singles

I know there was some room for bad hitting but I thought he'd be shipped out by now for the terrible defense.  Now a terrible challenge.  Chourio can't replace him soon enough.

[BarremlensTSSC]

Ortiz fouled off a pitch that was at forehead height and then suddenly develops a good eye and draws the walk.

I don't get him.  At all.

[liveforoctober]

I trust Ortiz the most at the plate out of those bottom 3 and that is .... saying something.

[yourout]

I would send him back out to see if he can pull it together

I don't know.....lot of stress pitches last inning. Certainly would hook him with the next runner.

[liveforoctober]

MVP time Brice... put the team on your back.

It’s a long season. He’s a pitcher in training, and he can help us as he learns how to handle the pressures of the game. 

If he struggles really badly right away, I would pull him. 

[adambr2]

Greg Jones has had his shot. It’s time for Lara to get his.

[yourout]

1 for 9 with RISP is not going to cut it tonight.

[yourout]

Pull him....

I agree but if they didn't send him down after his bad defensive game seems obvious they're going to keep him up until Chourio is back in 5 days.

[RobertCrawley]

That should have been worked out in spring training.

Little bit of tough luck there.  Should have gotten 2.
