This news is not good for Torey Lovullo:
Diamondbacks lose sloppy game against Giants
When a new manager comes in, I would say the last thing he wants to hear is that his team played a sloppy game, especially two games into the season. Sloppiness sometimes indicates a lack of preparation. A new manager should make sure that his team knows how to do all the little things right.
Even worse, perhaps, the Diamondbacks didn’t execute an appeal play, a mistake that prevented them from a replay challenge, miscues that might have cost them even more runs.
They are two days into a six-month season, but some of the concerns that surrounded them entering the year already have manifested themselves in a pair of games against the San Francisco Giants, the latest an 8-4 loss on Tuesday night at Chase Field.
“I don’t think we played our best game,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “We didn’t execute at times in several different areas and it cost us. It cost us in some key moments.”
Preparedness comes back directly to the manager and coaching staff. To have his happen early in the season is a red flag for Arizona.
