Record 76-66. Pace 87-75. Change on 2017: -6.
I did not see a single pitch of this one, instead attending a show put on by a local pro wrestling federation. I think I can say what I watched there was likely more competent and fundamentally sound than the spectacle which unfolded at Chase Field tonight. While the loss was charged to the bullpen, there was a lot of blame available to go around. The D-backs’ defense, one of the best in the majors, melted down by committing four errors. Indeed, for most of the game, Arizona had more errors than hits, and when they finally got a knock with a runner in scoring position - on the 11th AB - it was the game-ending play.
