The Woes Continue for the Arizona Diamondbacks

It is now official; the Arizona Diamondbacks are one of the worst teams in professional baseball. This has been made official since they are now currently 28-44. They are able to have the satisfaction of knowing that they are not the worst in baseball, that honor belongs to Baltimore. Nonetheless, there are a lot of doubts that the team will be able to head to the post season, this is due to the fact that they are 14 games from first. This is the point of the season that you call it a loss and refocus on the next season ahead of you. There is a lot of work that is needed to be done when it comes to the team and getting them into the swing of things.

There are a lot of problems that have developed in the pitching department of the team. There was supposed to be a solid pitching rotation that would support the team and therefore allow them to make the most out of the opportunities that they had in front of them. This was not the case and as a result the team does a good job to get the ball across the plate to their opponents. There have been a number of home runs that have been scored when it came to the team and their pitching power.

There is a severe lack of batting power in the Diamondbacks batting order, these players are not able to hit a home run in the ball let alone send one out of the park in the pros. There needs to be a meeting and the team needs to be told that it is okay to hit the ball farther than the pitcher. This will help them in the long run as they will actually be able to at least leave home plate when they are at bat.

There is little to brag about when it comes to the team and their abilities in the outfield. There has been one mistake after another that has been made that allowed the opposing team to just have their way in the way of scoring runs on the team. One basic rule of baseball is that you need to learn how to scoop the ball up and as a result learn how to take it and score a double play. This will continue to be a sore spot for the team as a result of not being able to score on their opponents.

If you are a diehard fan of the Diamondbacks, then you are to be congratulated on the dedication that you have for this team; it takes a lot to admit that they are a fan of the team from Arizona. This amount of dedication may one day be rewarded but in the meantime there will be a lot of teams that will make the Diamondbacks, the laughing stock of MLB and as a result will be the end of an era for a team that at one point had so much potential in front of them as a result. This will be a long season for the fans of the Diamondbacks to suffer through for 2010.

If you are one of the faithful for the team, then I feel for you and the best thing to do is hope that next season is better than this one. It is a lost cause for Arizona this season and next is not looking much better.
