Diamondbacks 9, San Diego 0: Four Quarts of Pitching Mastery

I have to say, I’ve written a lot of recaps for the Diamondbacks over the last five or six or however many years. Mainly they’ve been off-peak, mid-week games—Mondays, Tuesdays, Satuday games last year and now Friday nights this year—and, for most of those years, the Diamondbacks frankly have not been a good baseball team. So I feel like I’ve gotten very good, or at least very practiced, at writing more words than perhaps were necessary about many games that were frankly kind of terrible to watch from first pitch to last, which I always do, and to find something hopefully insightful to say beyond “welp, we sucked, again,” which I’ve done my best not to settle for.
