6/22 GDT: Diamondbacks(Kelly) vs Cardinals(Pallante) 6:45 PM CT

[Radbird]

Good start by Pallante.

Good to see Riley have a no-drama save.

Not sure who Tommy Troy is but that ball was pieced

Massive draft prospect from a few years go. First round pick.

Power over hit, strength based swing from a 2B profile. Not a good defender, but he's a stick.

I’d have left Soriano out there; oh well

In fairness to O'Brien, he has mostly better underlying data than Soriano.

Soriano: 4.80 xERA, 4.25 FIP, 4.54 xFIP, 4.11 SIERA

O'Brien: 4.51 xERA, 3.45 FIP, 3.57 xFIP, 3.26 SIERA

I think maybe Stanek is ok as long as you’re up by more than 1.

Maybe more than 2.

Where was Church with the rob? Walker did it yesterday and now that is part of Stank's game plan.

I listened to the game in the car on my drive home today and was pleased with the victory.

Luckily we had stopper Pallante going in the rotation.

Ryan Fernandez was sent on a rehab assignment June 19 but from what I have seen he has yet to make an actual appearance in a game. He may still be a few days away. I think Rajcic deserves to stick around. Svanson/Graceffo probably still have options.

I've been heartened because Walker 's slumps have been far shorter than in previous years, and so I'm hopeful that he'll make the necessary adjustments.
