Jack SommersHOST
They do have an open roster spot now on the 40.
Jack SommersHOST
So, I mean, it could just be bringing back Adrian Del Castillo, or they could be adding another catcher from the minor leagues and adding to the 40-man roster.
Jack SommersHOST
We don't know yet what that'll be.
Jesse FriedmanHOST
I guess the other big narrative in this game beyond the offense just going crazy again is that Brandon Fott managed to throw seven and two-thirds innings.
George LundHOST
Now, I understand the basis of it, not wanting a 36-year-old backup catcher playing every day, especially with only two catchers on the roster.
George LundHOST
Obviously, Adrian Del Castillo, having him on the roster, it opened up more opportunities for McCann and Moreno to play every day.
George LundHOST
But Jesus Sanchez hasn't been producing.
George LundHOST
James McCann has over a 900 OPS versus right-handed pitchers on the season.
Robbie BaseballHOST
So that's where that OBP comes from.
Robbie BaseballHOST
And Arizona has failed me recently with Adrian Del Castillo not developing as I needed him to.
Robbie BaseballHOST
But perhaps with Luciano, they'll be able to strike it rich because this season looked pretty
Benjamin ChaseHOST
good.
Jeffrey PaternostroHOST
Mm-hmm.
Craig GoldsteinHOST
Uh, they demoted Adrian del Castillo because he couldn't hit.
Jeffrey PaternostroHOST
Yeah.
Craig GoldsteinHOST
And they designated- As he's their DH.
Derek MontillaHOST
And then Pavin Smith obviously was called up.
Derek MontillaHOST
I think Adrian Del Castillo was was optioned.
Derek MontillaHOST
But, you know, I again, they they're just looking for some source of.
Derek MontillaHOST
Some source of of power, some source of hitting some source of offense.
George LundHOST
But clearly, if they want to bring him back, I mean, they went through every single option they had.
George LundHOST
Max Kepler, Adrian Del Castillo, all these other options.
George LundHOST
Clearly, they've seen he's gone down to AAA and improved to bring him back up and give him opportunities.
George LundHOST
He's not going to play as much as he did the first time around.
Jack SommersHOST
It includes four rookies.
Jack SommersHOST
It includes guys that have played at least in parts of one of the last three seasons you know one two or three year players um and the players on the you know for the audio folks tyler locklear these are in order of ops plus tyler locklear jordan lawler tim tower ryan walsh smith jose fernandez tommy troy jorge barossa adrian del castillo and lou james groover so these nine players have combined for 1486 plate appearances Those nine players have contributed 26% of the plate appearances.
Jack SommersHOST
Of those, there's only two that are over 100 OPS plus, 100 equals average.
Jack SommersHOST
Tyler Locklear in just 42 plate appearances had a 122 OPS plus.
Jack SommersHOST
Tommy Troy, 79 OPS plus.
Jack SommersHOST
Jorge Barrosa, of course, didn't hit, got DFA'd, 74.
Jack SommersHOST
Adrian Del Castillo, left-handed bat, got almost 200 plate appearances.
Jack SommersHOST
did not hit, 55 OPS plus, and Lou James grew over a very few PA, 54, was abysmal at 48.
George LundHOST
In the majors, he had 141 with a 428 OPS, over 89 plate appearances.
George LundHOST
The NMX selected his contract and optioned Adrian Del Castillo to Reno, who is two for his last 20 Major League at-bats.
George LundHOST
They had trusted him or trusted like to add him and see what he had against right-handed pitching in that dh spot but you really didn't show him anything uh to open a 40-man roster spot arizona recalled first baseman tyler locklear and placed him on the 60-day il with a season ending fractured right thumb now i have a lot of thoughts on this but i just think it's so crazy the mx are desperate they have no other options they literally tried everything he's been down in triple a for two months and they've been like i mentioned i gave you those stats those are without pavin smith they They've been the worst team in baseball against right-handed pitching without Pavin Smith.
George LundHOST
And somehow some people think there's a giant correlation to him coming back and they lose these last two games.
BrettHOST
Uh, I wish we could've said the same thing about the D-backs yesterday, uh, and we'll, we'll just, we'll dive onto that game.
BrettHOST
Uh, before the game started obviously, the, the news that had everybody, um, you know, kind of buzzing was Pavin Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno with Adrian Del Castillo being sent back down to Reno.
BrettHOST
Uh, Pavin Smith, um, once again, we're gonna be called the Pavin haters because we actually look at stats and we don't look at a, a two-month window where we talk about, "Oh, well look how good this guy was." No, we look at his entire career.
BrettHOST
Uh, over his entire career, not that great.
KevinHOST
The main focus is Carroll's status.
KevinHOST
If he's out, watch for Adrian Del Castillo or Lars Nutbar to DH.
NicoleHOST
Alright, we've covered the pitchers, the hitters, and the injuries.
NicoleHOST
Now let's get tactical.
