Summary
The Arizona Diamondbacks entered June looking like a legitimate National League playoff contender. Just one month later, their postseason odds have taken a massive hit. So what happened? We break down the biggest reasons behind the D-backs' stunning collapse from June 1 through July 1, including a devastating wave of injuries, inconsistent starting pitching, an offense that went ice cold, and the missed opportunities that turned a promising season into an uphill battle. Was June the month that doomed Arizona's playoff chances, or can the D-backs still turn things around? We also preview a crucial series against the Milwaukee Brewers and their MLB-best starting rotation, discuss top prospect Demetrio Crisantes continuing to tear up Double-A Amarillo, and revisit why this has been a bad week historically for D-backs managers on another edition of Throwback Thursday.
