The Diamondbacks are fun to watch.
Now, that's a simple sentence yet many teams in Major League Baseball can't say the same.
With power throughout their lineup, personified by the strike-me-out-or-I'll-knock-it-out 3B Mark Reynolds, the D-Backs tend to score in chunks. Fun chunks, like chunks of chocolate in ice cream; if baseball were ice cream and the willy-nilly offense of Arizona were chocolate.
Sure, their pitching is in semi-shambles (and has been in such a state for a bit now) -- but that's part of the fun. For Arizona to stay in games, those big bats have to keep swinging for the fences.
And that's fun to watch.
UPDATE: Wait, what's that you say, sportswriter Dave Zirin? "The D-backs organization is a primary funder of the state Republican Party, which has been driving the [anti-immigrant] measure through the legislature." Oh. Well, that changes things. What was once four stars becomes one star. The Diamondbacks organization can go jump off a cliff for all I care.
