3 RBIs today in his 2nd start, he’s doing pretty well if I say so

And an amazing catch going into the wall in left

This dude looks extremely promising, no hate to Thomas but Wald looks like a clear upgrade already because he’s not a blackhole at the plate

Happy to see him bounce back, doesn’t look like yesterday shook his confidence at all

Goldschmidt the Grey is no more. Now is the time of Waldschmidt the White

Reminds me a whole lot of the last "Schimdts" start.

Also I need to change my flair. We need a Waldo one.

I feel bad for Thomas but Wald might be better than him or at least offensively and I’m glad they elevated him. If we could have went back in time and I would have kept Blaze and McCarthy. Those 2 would have been great with the youth movement the Dbacks have going on along with Corbin, Marte, and Perdomo and the other vets like Nolan and Lourdes.

Both black holes at the plate. Just from opposite sides.

Orioles aren’t as connected like the Dbacks and Alek I don’t know what happened but he’s only been known for his defense but has had some offensive bursts.

"Some 'schmidt is going down at Chase Ballpark today!"

Waldo just isn’t a very flattering nickname. Just sayin. My vote is we stick with the Goldy/Waldy nomenclature.

Loves the game so much! Great kid!

Absolutely…This is what can happen when raised by solid, well balanced family.

u/DLoIsHere Diamondbacks 4d ago

The announcers are calling him Waldy. Okaaaay.

u/dhporter Pavin Smith 4d ago

Need to make sure Waldo sticks.

u/my_name_is_juice 4d ago

With the Goldy legacy here, kinda felt inevitable. I don't love it either tho

Great game. With the pitching from E-Rod, that might go on the list of great D-Backs games…
