The Arizona Diamondbacks had a chance to take every game against the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend, but late inning collapses turned a potential sweep into another frustrating series loss. We break down what went wrong, including Torey Lovullo‘s decision to leave Eduardo Rodriguez in too long during Sunday’s loss and how much it ultimately cost Arizona. Despite the disappointing weekend, there was good news for the D-backs with E-Rod earning his first All-Star selection alongside teammate Corbin Carroll. We discuss their well-deserved nods and make the case that Ketel Marte was one of the biggest snubs on the National League roster.
Plus, we preview a pivotal four-game series in San Diego, where the Snakes will look to build some momentum before the All-Star break and keep themselves in the postseason conversation. It’s also Mailbag Monday, and you came through with plenty of great questions. The biggest topic? Torey Lovullo’s future. Is his job actually in jeopardy, or is the frustration surrounding Arizona’s season being directed at the wrong person?
