Weird, this whole “off-day on Sunday” thing. Not sure I like it, but I guess the schedule makers must all bow down to the desires of the broadcast partners. In the absence of any real baseball, I figured we might as well get to know each other a bit better, what with the season being […]

This was provoked – triggered might be a better word – by paulnh’s feed post about the D-backs’ bullpen. The key conclusion was, “Since Mike Hazen has taken over, the Diamondbacks bullpen has been the second worst position in all of baseball, better only than the Pirates shortstop.
