💨 Abstract

The Arizona Diamondbacks, despite high expectations and a large payroll, have struggled early in the season. Manager Torey Lovullo seeks advice from his mother, emphasizing gut instincts. The team's issues are largely attributed to a problematic bullpen—despite some bright spots in the lineup and solid starting pitching. Lovullo points to defensive lapses and missed opportunities, particularly in close games.
