Former Dbacks Manager AJ Hinch was recently fired to be replaced by interim manager Kirk Gibson. Gibson is a former MLB baseball player who is an intimidating and tough figure who and attempt to bring some fire back into the Diamondbacks. Former Dodgers players have had success managing baseball teams and hopefully Gibson is no exception. Several former Dodgers are currently managing MLB teams, most notably Dusty Baker and Mike Scioscia. Of course, it's going to take a lot of work from Gibson and the team to put the Diamondbacks back on track as he manages one of the worst teams this year record-wise. Furthermore, the Diamondbacks have the worst bullpen ERA in baseball history, something that definitely needs to start heading the other direction.
Tonight the Diamondbacks won a game against division rival the LA Dodgers and this time around, the Diamondbacks showed strength as they routed the Dodgers 12-5. Kirk Gibson received his first win as a manager and now stands 1-0 managing the Dbacks. Edwin Jackson took the mound and was not impressive giving up four earned runs in five innings. Nonetheless, it was enough to get the win as the Diamondbacks scored twelve runs to annihilate the Dodgers.
