Very Offensive

Answer to run-producing woes may be in the opposing bullpen

Granted, the Arizona Diamondbacks will attempt to beat the butts off the Cincinnati Reds when Cincy visits Chase Field. But what the offensively challenged club should be doing is coaxing former D-Back hurler Micah Owings back to Pho-town. Not for his pitching – the Reds reliever kind of sucks on the mound at the moment, with his 1-2 record and near-4.00 ERA at the time of writing – but for the guy’s hitting prowess, which includes a pinch-hit, game-winning double against the Houston Astros on April 19.

Yep, the D-Backs are that desperate.
