Baseball is good. After what seemed like a blink of an eye, the D-backs return to regular season play after an eventful offseason hoping to return to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons since the excellent 2001 and 2002 seasons. With the NL West loading up on talent in response, it’ll be an exciting one to remember for sure.
Coming off a 243IP season for the D-backs, the highest in the MLB since 2019, Zac Gallen got the ball on Opening Day for the second straight year and started things off in the 1st as expected, inducing weak contact from Blackmon, Bryant, and Jones to get the offense on the field.
