What seemed like a questionable decision at the time had a surprising explanation
During last nights game against the Dodgers, an eventual 8-4 Diamondbacks loss, Torey Lovullo made what seemed to be a questionable decision that cost him the game. He pulled Tommy Henry after just four innings and 72 pitches and trailing by a score of just 2-1.
He managed to get double plays in each of the first two innings to get out of trouble, the second of which came on a scorched ground ball from Shohei Ohtani 107 MPH off the bat. It went right to Ketel Marte however who started a 4-6-3 double play. It’s just kind of one of those days from that standpoint. I feel like they happen. You’ve just got to fully commit to not battling yourself. There’s a temptation there to try and find it, try and search and make a ton of changes, I just tried to throw all that out the window today and compete with the hitter."
