Why take him out? This games over and just need 2 outs to end it?

As annoyed as I am, you can't let a reliever throw 40 pitches in an inning. Data shows a high increase in injury chances after something like ~30 pitches and it goes up from there.

Sucks to lose a game cause Walker lost the ball in the lights.

I hear you but even if he had caught it, it’d probably be 2-0 with 2 outs.

On that note about pitching, I wonder if May should’ve had an extra day off the other day.

Graceffo walks the number 9 hitter Troy to give Marte and the top of the DBacks order another turn.

Another walk to load the bases.

Graceffo and Svanson trying to compete to see who gets to eat that Memphis barbecue when Fernandez comes back.

Anything close to an accurate throw and he would’ve been out

Crooks is a bad defensive catcher

That was one of the worst innings of the season.

Little league stuff.

I can’t watch crooks on a daily basis.

Dbacks score another run on a passball and Graceffo could have been called for roughing the runner after tumbling over him at the plate

It's a development year. Crooks is developing. I'm fine with it.

I do wish they were developing different pitchers though.
