On the road, we play like a real team.

At Chase, they play like a AA team.



WTF??

I wonder if it has something to do with lack of focus. When they are at home, they have other things to do than just stick together and it's not a business trip. Lovullo's teams always seem to lack focus in stretches.

When they are on the road. Their mentality is focused mainly on just baseball and they probably do their homework better.

* why do we suck against the NL west?
It could just be that they have made better teams than the dbacks have now. We haven't done enough changes to keep up. Dodgers are in a league of their own. But this team seems content being mediocre and hope better years to come. Typical Arizona team, forever rebuilding

We need to start treating home games like road trips. Stay in hotels. Use the visitor's dugout, bat first, etc.

We aren't a good ball club and we got lucky on the road. I believe how we play at home is more indicative of who this team really is. We will start playing poorly on the road as well, just give it time. This team is a train wreck.

Or . . . they are what they have been all season long over the first half. A .500 team.

It reflects that pitching is our weak point.
