The slog starts here. For tonight begins a stretch of 17 games in 17 days for the Diamondbacks. Yes, they will be playing close to 30% of the season without a day off. Hey, work with me there, will ya? I think it’s safe to say that, by the next time we have a day without D-backs baseball, our playoff hopes will probably be a lot clearer. Unless, of course, there’s some further twists, such as a COVID-19 outbreak. And speaking of which, at least we’re not the Cardinals, who will be playing twenty-one games over the rest of August, and then thirty-two in September.
