Arizona Diamondbacks: Lovullo recognizes his team will score runs

By his admission, manager Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks told Venom Strikes that his team would score runs. In discussing his philosophy and vision for the season ahead, Lovullo struck a common refrain that this team will just produce runs.

That said, the burden then speaks directly to the pitching staff. Coming off a season in which the rotation was unstable, starters to demoted to the bullpen and the minors and the rotation swept through a revolving door, the need for continuity is paramount. After the Diamondbacks defeated the Cleveland Indians, 6-3 before 11,397 in the next to last preseason game Thursday night at Chase Field, Lovullo formally announced his rotation.
