After picking up some much-needed momentum in Los Angeles, the Diamondbacks seemingly gave it all back in a 3-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday night. The offense had few answers for Braxton Garrett, who tossed a complete-game shutout. We discuss what stood out from the game, why the D-backs can’t seem to win after off-days and more.

Torey Lovullo and the Diamondbacks took an unorthodox approach to game one of their three-game series with the Dodgers in Los Angeles, sending reliever Joe Mantiply in to start the game while bringing in Slade Cecconi out of the bullpen. The result was a disastrous third inning where Cecconi may have been tipping his pitches to Dodgers hitters, who took him long three times and scored six runs. We have more on Slade’s outing and if...

The Arizona Diamondbacks are currently playing bad baseball, but that seems to go ten fold for game one of every series since Opening Day. We discuss Slade Cecconi’s outing turning on him in the fourth against the San Diego Padres, the D-backs anemic offense continuing to be impatient and unproductive, and if Torey Lovullo should be in the hot seat.  An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_yout...
