Well, folks, we stared out the window and waited for spring longer than normal, but like always, spring did arrive. With that glorious changing of the seasons, we once again embark on 162 games of Diamondbacks baseball. There will be wins, there will be losses, but at the end of the day, it’s baseball. Play ball!
First up, the Padres come to Chase for a four game series. Last year, the Padres got off to a hot start, and were challenging the Dodgers for supremacy in the West. However, club house issues, injuries, and just general lack of performance, seemed to weigh the team down as the season progressed, leaving them to finish third in the division, nearly equidistant between the Giants in first, and the Diamondbacks in last.
