The Diamondbacks may have pulled off a thrilling extra-innings walk-off win on Thursday, but the postgame news overshadowed the celebration. Torey Lovullo announced that third base coach Shaun Larkin has been removed from his role, a move that comes on the heels of Alek Thomas’ costly baserunning mistake earlier in the game. We break down the decision, whether it was too little too late to impact this season, and what it means moving forward. Plus, we dive into Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s clutch 9th-inning homer and the D-backs’ knack for late-game drama. And finally, we share some advice for a young listener just beginning their high school journey.
