He was out by 2 steps. The slide didn't matter

I've seen plenty of guys slide away from the plate and avoid the tag with their hand. It's called base running skill and Thomas has no awareness. But yeah, the ball beat him so slide right into it.

Is there anyyyyy shot if dbacks heat up they can sneak in last wcard?

420 cherry gileto kush to nice dub)))

I think those 3 recent losses to Colorado put an end to this dream.

If they can just end 81-81, that would be an accomplishment at this point.

ESPN.com gives them a 0.8% chance of making the playoffs, Baseball-reference.com gives them a 1.2% chance.

So about a one-in-a-hundred chance!

Even that seems generous. The Dbacks have the hardest remaining schedule in baseball.

Going .500 would be a good outcome.

And they haven't really shown any spark that leads me to belive they're going to finish at .500.

Seriously… with this schedule and a bullpen still wrecked… it would be much better than “good” if they ended the year at .500.

This weekend could go a long way to answering your question
Hosting the Cincinnati Reds for three games - a team ahead of them in the standings

Barring a major collapse, the top two wildcard teams are going to be the Cubs, and either the Padres or the Dodgers.

That leaves one spot available

Currently, the Mets are the third wildcard team, but the reds are only a half game behind them

St. Louis is four behind them and the diamondbacks are 5 1/2.
