Much has been written this year lamenting the lack of consistency displayed by the Diamondbacks offense . One would think that the roller coaster ride could not get any more extreme than the historical lows of May sandwiched in between the highs of April and the first few weeks of June.
However what we just witnessed the previous 48 hours perhaps is a 2018 microcosm : 20 runs on 18 hits including 5 homers on Saturday night, followed by a 16 inning 4-3 loss in which the team was held scoreless for the final 12 innings all while going 3 for 14 with RISP.
