While it may be the very early going of a new season, I would argue it’s never too early to start measuring your team against others - especially when the expectations for your team have been elevated like they have for the D-Backs. After two lopsided victories in either direction during this series, I was particularly intrigued to see how this D-Backs team responded to an early challenge at home ahead of their first road trip of the season. For the first nine innings, I could confidently say the 2024 D-Backs were up to the task. Unfortunately, this game went for 11 innings, which was just enough time for the Yankees’ bats to seal a win and for the rest of us to watch a disjointed game that featured just about everything under the sun - literally.
