Arizona Diamondbacks fans slam bullpen, manager Torey Lovullo after blown lead vs. Rockies
A graphic during the eighth inning of the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Colorado Rockies game on Monday night caught our attention.
The graphic? This season, the Arizona Diamondbacks have lost 32 games after leading.
Make that 33.
Arizona's bullpen couldn't hold a 4-2 lead against the Rockies in Denver in a 6-4 loss Monday, their latest late-inning collapse.
Judging from comments on social media after the game, Diamondbacks fans are more than fed up with the situation.
They slammed the bullpen, and manager Torey Lovullo's management of his team's relievers, in replies to a Diamondbacks post announcing the final score of the game.
Arizona fell to 59-60 with the loss, and lost ground in the NL Wild Card chase with the result.

Torey - When your starter is on 🔥 let him toss 110-115 pitches. We’re well into the season. Ride your best pitchers when they’re throwing a gem.

This bullpen is horrendous this season is definitely over.

This bullpen is straight garbage. How Mantioly isn’t sent down to the minors is beyond me

i want an explanation on how putting in a guy with a 1-7 record with an era of 4.6+was a good idea. please explain.

Disasterclass by Torrey
— Jon Hunsaker (@Jon_the_Hun) August 15, 2023
What makes Torey believe that mantiply is a better option over Nelson in that 8th inning makes no sense
— Bbryan3921 (@bbryan3921) August 15, 2023
Absolutely TRASH!
— Jose Rosete (@JoseRosete) August 15, 2023
This team is a dumpster fire.

Another bullpen masterclass.
— Jacob Pretzman (@jacob_pretzman) August 15, 2023
Torey’s loss all the way. Only he can make a win become a loss.
— BarbW (@AZ_IceB) August 15, 2023
Leave Torey in Denver. Unacceptable
— Aaron (@ajshapi1) August 15, 2023
Torey single handedly blew the game. What a performance
— Jonathan Quan (@Clemson2498) August 15, 2023
Absolutely horrendous management of this team. If you guys were actually wanting to take this season seriously, Lovullo would be gone
