The pitching staff did not like Wrigley. One off series or something more?Wesley: Merrill Kelly found it to be just fine on Sunday. Im a little worried, but not particularly so. Makakilo:Just like baseball, windy days can make pickleball a much different series at Wrigley was a : I remain worried. DBacksEurope: I am not worried, this is reality. The Diamondbacks can demolish any team and can struggle against any team. The Cubs series once again proved that. The Cubs are not a bad team : Im not too worried. That wind game was absurd and Im chalking it up to the conditions rather than lack of execution. I think its more a one-off, but its also just part of a long season. At this point, Im more concerned with Gallen failing to find any rhythm between starts - although that decreases his price and likelihood he accepts a qualifying offer. Preston: I started to answer on Sunday morning, but figured I would wait until after the game. As it turns out, the only pitchers that struggledwere Gallen and members of the bullpen who instantly boarded a flight to Reno. Gallen is a bit of a concern. If the rumors are correct and Gallen and Strom were not working well together, and now Gallen is even worse, Im thinking we may be glad in the long run that we havent extended him. 1AZfan1: Mostly a one off. The bullpen didnt allow an earned run in 7. 1 innings after the Wind Game. Kelly/Burnes gave up 3 runs between them in about 6 innings each and Gallen had a Pfaadt-ish outing where he had a blow-up inning but was otherwise cruising through the majority of his 6 will have more of an impact: losing Puk or gaining Jameson?Makakilo:Two of my thoughts on Drey Jameson. This season in AAA, his fly ball % was a career low 16. 7%. If he can continue to prevent fly balls, he may see , his 66. 7% home runs per fly ballwill be hard to from it remains to be seen, its possible that his fastball velocity will be better than Puk. Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Drey Jameson unloaded perhaps the fastest pitch of his career against Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani during Cactus League action on Monday at Camelback Ranch. Three of my thoughts about AJ Puk. Its arguable that he is the best left-handed pitcher in the Diamondbacks bullpen. AJ Puk is the gold standard, meeting or exceeding the demarcation line for all five statistics. shutdown gamesAnd in case weve all forgotten, Mantiply has been pretty bad before and gotten it figured out, so he could again. 1AZfan1: If Puks absence is limited to no more than 6ish weeks, Id say Jamesons addition will be more impactful. Starting to get him as many reps in the Bigs early in the season as possible is great to determine if he will be a reliable option for the 2025 stretch run/playoffs. If Puk is gone for a significant portion of the year or this elbow issue becomes a recurring thing, his loss would be more impactful Josh Naylor Jersey. Jameson has potential, but Im not expecting him to replace Puk one-for-one in 2025. Ben: I tend to agree that its losing Puk at this point. Hes extremely experienced and has a great mentality as a reliever while also having a great repertoire thats delivered excellent results since coming over. I was encouraged by Jamesons spring training and minor league results, but hes a very different pitcher who wont really be able to replace Puk so much as give Torey another option out of the pen. The city connects are coming. What would your ideal ones look like?Makakilo:Many city connect uniforms are garishbeing odes to Arizona. Purple, of course, was Colangelos color. Thus, a turquoise jersey with copper letteringcould be an ode to that. Unfortunately, if the leaks are anything close to correct, it looks like Nike is going with Grimace-vomit on black. I liked the Serpientes. I do not anticipate liking these. 1AZfan1: Heres a screenshot of the leak Preston referenced. It is truly terrible and I hope that this isnt what were stuck with for the next few years. ISH95: /whispers I kinda like theseBen: I would love something that actually connects to the city as the name would suggest. I dont love the citys flag, but incorporating some of that maroon with the absolutely fantastic Arizona flag could make for a killer combination. I understood the Serpientes name and color themes - and appreciated their uniqueness - but it still felt a little performative rather than genuine connection with the Spanish-speaking population. Do you think baseball will ever become co-ed, or is the end game the Womans PRo Baseball League that is starting next season?Makakilo:I love the idea of a Woman Pro Baseball League Corbin Burnes Jersey. A great first step towards co-ed baseball would be exhibition games with a mix of women and men playersmay also be the position least likely for a woman to succeed. I dont know this, and I may be entirely wrong, but I suspect that due to skeletal differences, women would encounter even more injuries than men when pitching. A separate womens league will answer that question. 1AZfan1: I would absolutely be open to women in MLB, but, as DBE and Preston alluded to, I am doubtful that they will be able to match up physically at the big league level. Well : Ive loved the increased attention the media the general population have given to college softball over the past five or six years. Theyre incredible athletes and seeing what theyre capable of doing- especially when pitching is truly remarkable. I have little doubt that given similar training and time, they could match up extremely well with their male counterparts. But that change has to start from the grassroots and Ive long thought that its time for softball to lengthen the distance between bases to better match college baseball. I fervently hope I get to see a co-Ed league of some kind in my lifetime. Any Easter traditions in your family?Makakilo:Invite people to my house for homemade veggie pizza on an outdoor : Forgetting its Easter then frantically putting together a lamb dinner so when mom calls we can say we celebrated! DBacksEurope: When I was young we would go on chocolate egg hunt, play the game of egg tap and visit church. Those were nice traditions. Now I dont have any traditions with my own family. Id try to do the egg tap with my kids and wife, but my wife was never enthusiastic and my son doesnt like hard boiled eggs so the tradition quickly faded away.
