Arizona Diamondbacks 4, Seattle Mariners 3: Bringing The Heat
Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesI don’t know how well all of you are holding up with this heat, but I’ve got about as many air conditioning compressors on the injured list as the Arizona Diamondbacks do with starting pitchers. Like myself, the D’backs are limping along this month hoping their fortunes turn quickly before it is too late. Prior to July the team did not play a single full month of baseball below .500, but once the mercury began to climb the thermometer things seemingly broke down. As such, a team that once appeared to be heading into the trade deadline as buyers might now not be as aggressive as to not mortgage the future.
