The Diamondbacks deserved to lose last night’s game. But an equipment malfunction in the first might have changed the course of the entire game. An oblivious ump and the MLB’s silly rule about what can and cannot be reviewed also contributed to a result best left forgotten. Injury Updates and Potential Shifts to Rotation Order A.J. Puk provides an update on his rehab status. Gabriel Moreno is eligible to return but is going to get some swings in first. Will the rotation order get shaken up to help give differing looks? The off-days provided for travel to Mexico City make this an option being explored. I suspect even the fleet-footed infielder is looking forward to properly parking one in the seats to get the real accolades. This is why, if MLB is going to insist on only certain plays being reviewable, that any play that results in scoring should automatically be subject to review.

Sure, there were questions about the roster from Queens as the season opened. But I don’t think anyone seriously expected them to be the worst team in baseball. Yet, here we are. The 6’7” lefty hurler who struggled to advance through minor league system will now get a chance to shine on the big stage for , at age 22. This sort of thing is never okay. But hey, some even doubled down and targeted the young man’s family. Stay classy folks.
