Snake Bytes 5/9: Big Crapple

[D’backs.com] No slug, no sizzle: D-backs’ bats quiet in NY - D-backs manager Torey Lovullo believes that his team’s lineup is at its best when its hitters are pulling the ball in the air and are able to slug. That’s what Arizona had mostly been doing this season before embarking on its road trip to Miami and New York. “We’ve got to get back to that,” Lovullo said. “We’ve got to get back to that balanced approach, seeing the baseball and waiting for it to come to that spot where we can slug.” That still didn’t quite happen Saturday night at Citi Field.
