Pitching Knocked Around By GiantsBrandon Pfaadt had his shortest outing of the season, needing 95 pitches to get through four innings. He surrendered a grand slam to San Francisco’s Christian Koss in the second and then the bullpen allowed an additional six runs. On the other side of the ledger, Corbin Carroll tied Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber for the MLB lead in home runs.

Meanwhile, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. might finally be heating up. Corbin Burnes Receives Career First Cortisone Shot for Shoulder InflammationThis is a glass half-empty/glass half-full situation.

Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images Diamondbacks Unable to Hold On After Kelly ExitGoing into Philadelphia with a spent bullpen and facing the pitchers that were lined up was always going to be a big ask for Arizona. When Kelly leaves due to cramping and the offense doesn’t pick up runners from scoring position, things are even tougher.

Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images Mets Defense Robs Diamondbacks of Rally InningThe New York Mets handed Eduardo Rodriguez his worst outing in nine years. The New York defense stole outs from three consecutive batted balls with triple-digit exit velocities. The Mets’ pitching, outside of those three consecutive scorchers, mostly controlled the tempo of the game. It was easily, one of the most complete losses of the season for the Diamondbacks.

Just wondering if any of my followers know of any remote volunteer opportunities? Online searches for them are worthless it seems. I would do in-person volunteer work, but my town has shuttered those programs entirely. I WANT TO HELP!
Well, isn't this just peach. The local public library no longer accepts book donations or volunteer workers. They also won't hire any paid workers. WTF are they going to do if someone shows up needing something? They have almost nothing in their massive new facility.
Okay, I totally get the reasons for having Code Compliance Officers. That they exist is fine. But someone please explain to me why a civil servant like that needs a bulletproof tactical vest and sidearm. There is no fucking good reason for that. It's just inviting tragedy.
