three-game series for the Diamondbacks at home against the Rockies. Hughes, who finally blew up,
but is having a nice start. Sugano, he's been okay. I mean, look, I give the Rockies credit.
Tom, I'll say it before I'll say it again. When they're at home, they got a 50-50 shot. They seem
to win games at home. But on the road, man, the Diamondbacks are probably going to wipe the floor
with them. And then Arizona gets San Francisco, you know? So it's like, because of the Giants
and the Rockies being in that division, it sort of negates the fact that they have to play against
the Dodgers so much. It would seem to me that both Arizona and San Diego are probably going to be
surging toward the finish. This is just a very straightforward week for the Diamondbacks. Just
go out there and do your job. And that's beat worse teams more often than not. Win the series.
And whether it's two of the three, you know, Sirocco and Kelly, they've been okay. They dealt
with injuries. Just win the series. Win the next series versus the Giants. It's as simple as that.
You are truly going to push into the playoffs. You can't be dropping games like this. You can
split a series with the Dodgers or split it with the Padres and lose two or three there.
But these are the games you have to win.
