Considering how young these players are, I think we need to ask ourselves whether the Diamondbacks were getting hot in September … or whether they were simply regressing back toward their true levels of performance. It was the April through August performance that was the aberration, in some sense.
In general, there have been too many words expended on trying to explain away how the Diamondbacks outperformed Pythagoras … and too few how they might have underperformed their talent.
Well, how many D-Backs games do you think this clown has seen now for this season? If its more than 4 I'll shit.
Still no understanding of how facing the best pitching in the league within your own division all year long offers an accelerated learning curve for young hitters. Gee, could that have had something to do with it?
How playing for a AAA title the year before has carried over to playing for a division title in a hotly contested 4 team race this year.
How playing against a higher level of competition within your own division carried over into the postseason when matching up with teams that survived by an absence of competition as much as carrying through on talent alone. When you match up against a team that basically faced shit pitching for the final month of a season, while you've battled your way in beating noticeably better pitching that final month, deciding who will beat who becomes a fucking no brainer.
You missed the obvious Nate. And now you're just guessing.
This series is going to be oh so close. Too close to call in my opinion. So I'm planning to go to games 1 and 2, expecting to see some real good baseball and root for the D-Backs!
