Arizona Diamondbacks

We got some breaking news.

Wee-woo, wee-woo, wee-woo in regards to the Arizona Diamondbacks search for their next pitching coach.

Like I said, I'm Derek Montia, occasionally known as your mayor of PHNX.

That other voice you hear is the one, the only rock knowledge, a.k.a. Michael Blasco.

yeah but breaking news mike breaking news rock excuse me who am i to call you by your real name that was

weird

yeah that was it didn't feel right but no you know got to hit it with a wow on that one but hey we got ourselves a pitching coach according to a report from the athletic from dennis lynn over the athletic the arizona diamondbacks will be hiring the san diego padres bullpen coach ben fritz as their new pitching coach and let's be honest This is good for multiple reasons.

Not only is it a pitching coach that comes to this team with much more experience rock than our last pitching coach and Brian Kaplan, who in fact had never been a pitching coach of a major league baseball team.

Previously played for the Twins, mostly.

And the Phillies, Diamondbacks.

But he's in a Phillies hat.

No, he's a free agent, actually.

They've had a couple interesting series, you know, against some other teams like the Phillies.

And, you know, we've had inter-division series against, you know, the Diamondbacks and the Padres a couple of times.

But it's those two teams that you can really think of.

And especially the Brewers who, you know, i feel like you can just throw the saver metrics and all of like the projections that we get from for next season because they're probably going to project the brewers to win like 85 games again which i don't think any of us are gonna are gonna you know predict to happen i think we'll all expect them to probably win their division win close to 100 games and then try to defend their title and who knows now they have additional you know money from winning the world series and that player pool money so maybe they try to go a little bit harder in free agency but I don't know, from some of the rumors we've been seeing already this offseason, like possibly trading away their World Series MVP in Contreras because he's getting ready to earn $14 million and he'll be a free agent after that year.

I know he and his wife are celebrating 25 years coming up on the same day.

And it was 25 years ago that the Arizona Diamondbacks won the World Series.

So happy early anniversary, Brady.

We wanted to get you a little something.

Our wedding had already been scheduled, so Game 7 of the World Series got pushed back, if you remember that year, because of 9-11.

And so, like – We had our wedding, we had our celebration, and we all went out and watched the World Series Game 7 at Caesars Sportsbook, and it was awesome.

All of our family cheering on the Diamondbacks.

Everyone was cheering for the Diamondbacks.

They needed that one badly to get that four-game series started.

They're now three games behind the Diamondbacks.

And a throw to first, and Chipper is back.

Diamondbacks have lost three in a row now.

They'll have Miguel Batista going tonight against Terry Mulholland.

Mulholland will go tonight, and then Kevin Brown will be pushed back to tomorrow for L.A. 0-2 to Jordan, and Chen again throws to first, and Chipper is back.

The Giants have lost three straight and are still two games behind the Diamondbacks.

Play in San Diego tonight.

Jeter doesn't want to be involved in Old Timers Day.

You don't see Jeter there for anything but the 9-11 remembrance thing, which I love because he was part of the team in 01, and he was on that team that went to the World Series and lost in 7 to Arizona.

Man, I thought they were going to win the World Series that year

to do it for New York.

But that one, I remember being a little kid.

And I'll say this one, even though it was heartbreaker for me as a Jeter fan, the Arizona Diamondbacks.

That's number two for you? 0-1? 9-11? Yeah, I'd probably say that

one.

I'm going to take them to the water park.

Okay, now I'm going to take them to a Diamondbacks game.

Now I'm going to do this.

Now I'm going to do this.
