This strange, disappointing Diamondbacks season is coming to it’s conclusion. What we saw this season was a team that was clearly hurt by the long delay to the season, the lack of advanced scouting, and by lingering injuries that impacted several players that were supposed to be key members of the team. We’re left to wonder what would have happened if they had been able to start on schedule and play 162 games, but we’ll never know. What matters is 16 teams are going to the playoffs. The Diamondbacks will not be one of them.
I will admit, this season has hardly had my undivided attention.
