The season ended on the bright side for the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday, but not without concerns for the future.
In this baseball marathon commencing with high hopes and dashed by poor execution, the Diamondbacks head into the off-season amid a series of important decisions.
Despite a 3-2, walk-off victory over the San Diego Padres before 31,385 Sunday afternoon in Chase Field, the road ahead appears long and ominous. To a man in the clubhouse and throughout the coaching staff, the attitude, work ethic and disposition was commendable. Despite losses piling at an alarming rate, the players’ outlook and positive attitude became the cornerstone of their personality.
