Summary
Arizona Diamondbacks’ playoff hopes are slipping as sluggish bats threaten to undo a resurgent pitching staff. Ketel Marte is back, but with Corbin Carroll and the offense stuck in a deep slump, even top performances from Eduardo Rodriguez and Brandon Pfaadt haven’t translated into wins. Have lineup decisions and a lack of power doomed Arizona’s September push? George Lund spotlights the Diamondbacks’ alarming offensive stats, questionable platoon strategies, and overdue experiments with openers like Jose Cabrera. He debates whether more playing time for young stars Jordan Lawlar and Ryan Waldschmidt could ignite a turnaround. Plus, hear the latest on roster moves, Ketel Marte’s clubhouse drama, and the must-win stretch as Arizona fights the San Diego Padres for a wild card spot. Can the Diamondbacks break out before the door on October baseball slams shut?
