After falling 5-1 on Thursday night to Manaea and the Oakland Athletics, the Diamondbacks are winless in six games this season against left-handed starting pitchers.
Last year, it took Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen four months to decide what to make of his team... A year later, four months to make such decisions seems like an unimaginable luxury. The trade deadline, pushed back from July 31 due the delayed start to the 2020 season, approaches in just 11 days. His team has played just 25 games and is 13-12. Somehow, Hazen and his front office must draw enough conclusions about their club to make moves that will have postseason implications.
