Diamondbacks 7, Braves 2: Apocalypse averted

Record: 13-18. Pace: 68-94. Change on 2015: -1.

This was strange to watch. I've always been a Diamondbacks' fan, rather than a particular player - I support the name on the front, rather than the one on the back. So, previously, when players have left, they've been dead to me. A "You're either with us or against us" kinda thing. But tonight's Greinke-Blair match-up was different, for a variety of reasons - even beyond not having Zack Greinke's dad as a member! We've only had a month or so with Greinke, a hired gun brought in over the winter, whose love for the team, one suspects, is largely inspired by the name printed on his checks.
