Believe it or not, when the D-Backs conclude their game tomorrow night against the Marlins, it will be their 81st game of the season, thus marking the official halfway point of the year. I feel like I say it every year, but it’s wild every year how quickly a baseball season can pass by - especially one with such emotional highs and lows as this one has featured already. To put it mildly, I don’t think the D-Backs necessarily expected to find themselves just two games over .500 at this point. It certainly puts my preseason prediction of 90 wins in serious jeopardy, particularly given the ludicrous injury news the team has sustained over the past week or so.
