The Diamondbacks have managed to reach the point in the season where every game matters. Not ever team gets to say that, and not every fanbase gets to experience that. Especially not teams and fanbases that saw four cornerstone players leave in a six month period. What would happen to the Dodgers if they lost Bellinger, Seager, Kershaw, and Bueller? The Astros losing Verlander, Cole, Bergman, and Altuve? Most teams would go full teardown. Some of us wanted them to go full teardown. But they didn’t. They found a way to be relevant with 22 games left in the season. Will they get a playoff berth? My gut still says no, but next year? Well, let’s just say I’m not going to be planning any October vacations. In the meantime, let’s enjoy this season, because it’s a hell of a lot better than we had any right to expect going into it.
