Quotes
"Obviously he's gone through a couple of different scuffle times, struggles. Those pitches that you can hit out are few and far between in the big leagues and he's just missing those pitches right now. Mechanically, he's worked on a few things with [D-backs hitting coach] Turner [Ward] the last couple of days. He feels a little better today, but have I noticed anything [different about him]? Not really."
- Chip Hale on Paul Goldschmidt
“But it’s just hard to go through it. Have a good game, have a bad game, and have a roller coaster like that. I’m trying to do everything to go out there and do well every time and get through six, seven innings. They say this is part of it, but I don’t like to hear that and don’t want to think like that.”
- Patrick Corbin

Why The Diamondbacks Need The DH - VenomStrikes.com
It’s a polarizing subject that has compelling arguments on both sides. The implementation of the Designated Hitter in the National League. Whether or not the Senior Circuit follows in little brother’s footsteps remains to be seen. Before I begin, I want to clarify. I’m not, by any means, suggesting that Rob Manfred make this significant move. What I am suggesting is that the Diamondbacks would benefit greatly from such a change.
