After letting the Minnesota Twins rack up eight quick runs on Thursday, Arizona Diamondbacks starter Jordan Montgomery took out his frustrations on his PitchCom device.
left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery has had a shaky 2024 so far, but his struggles reached a whole new level on Thursday.
Montgomery entered Thursday with a 5.71 ERA on the season, but it went up to 6.03 by the time his outing against thewas done. That doesn't even tell the whole story either, since four of the eight runs Montgomery gave up were unearned. The veteran southpaw got chased off the mound after just 2.2 innings of work, having only retired eight of the 20 batters he faced. Two Diamondbacks errors certainly didn't help, but Montgomery was getting rocked regardless.After getting back to the dugout, Montgomery threw his PitchCom device against the wall. He then proceeded to pick it up off the bench and whip it against the wall again.
Montgomery played a key role in the Rangers' World Series run last fall, going 3-1 with a 2.90 ERA in the postseason.As a veteran accustomed to that level of success, it isn't shocking to see Montgomery lose his cool following a performance as lackluster as his was on Thursday.Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
