## Resource

Arizona Diamondbacks spiral as postseason hopes dim after another tough series loss. Can stars like Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte bounce back in time to salvage the season, or has the offense sputtered at the worst possible moment? Host George Lund spotlights the team's free fall with sharp analysis of recent struggles—highlighting Carroll’s September slump, Geraldo Perdomo’s power outage, and questionable decisions from Torey Lovullo. Key moments include pitching performances from Ryne Nelson and Merrill Kelly, Gabriel Moreno’s standout play, and the crucial math facing the D-backs as they chase the San Diego Padres. With the New York Yankees looming and the bullpen stretched thin, Lund asks: does Arizona have enough urgency—or the right roster moves—to claw back into the Wild Card race? Don’t miss this breakdown of the Diamondbacks’ fading playoff push and the pivotal players who must step up now.
