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.
