More players who you probably haven’t heard of on the Arizona Diamondbacks, b ut they are good baseball players

The Arizona Diamondbacks are in town for a series with the Phillies, what is interesting about them is their road record, they seem to prefer to be on the road. The Dbacks just came from Toronto, and they are building from a win in Toronto, and have a 34-32 record. They have a 20-16 road record even though they are 14-16 at home in AZ. The Dbacks are 9-4 in interleague play.

The Phillies were poised to pick up a sweep yesterday, when all of a sudden the lead evaporated, and the Phils couldn’t answer from a couple runs that the Reds had put up on the board. When was the last time a Phillies player tried to steal home? Bryce Harper decided to give it a try, and he was out at the plate, but at least he tried to do something. The Phillies lost 4-3 in the afternoon game on Sunday dropping to 37-28 on the year.

The Phils are still in a very bad way when it comes to the bullpen, this is something that is a real glaring problem, if nothing is done about it from management, there will be many games that the Phillies will lose because of it.

The Diamondbacks are a spunky bunch, they may not be going to the playoffs (currently a 35% chance), but they are playing top teams tough. The Dbacks have a 4-3 record against the Braves this year, and a 6-1 record over Pittsburgh.
