Torey Lovullo addresses the media Share this story Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo spoke to the media today via Zoom session. What follows is a chronological recap of the topics covered. You can listen to the audio and skip forward or back to hear his full comments according to your interest level. Q: Of the 2020 rules, (DH, Extra Innings, 7 Inning Double Headers, Expanded Post Season, 3 Batter minimum, which did he be in favor of going forward and which would he dump? TL: Things became “normal” and they adjusted to all of them. The one he liked the least was the 7 inning double headers. The games are too short and the last two innings of a game are the most intense. He felt Extra Inning rule was intriguing and exciting, he’s in favor of the quick runs and rapid endings, so you don’t blow up your entire team for next game or next series. He thought he wouldn’t like not being able to use left handed specialists for one batter at a time, but different strategic components of the three batter minimum created more thoughts and challenges that he enjoyed.
