ESPN REPORT: Arizona Diamondbacks head coach is being fired due to….

The Arizona Diamondbacks have had a chaotic season but not in the ways they prided themselves on last year. Between injuries, 12-run outbursts followed by cold stretches, relievers hitting in the 11th inning and bees, it’s difficult to know what to expect at the ballpark on a given night.

Corbin Carroll’s stalled early-season performance has contributed to the variance (probably not the bees part), and his five RBIs Tuesday at the Cincinnati Reds were an auspicious sign looking forward.

There is a certain gear Carroll adds to the offense when humming.

“It’s a fairly high bar he set for all of us watching him play that we scrutinize what he does to the degree we do. We know how dynamic he can be,” general manager Mike Hazen told Arizona Sports’ Wolf & Luke Wednesday.

“I think it’s exacerbated a little bit by (Geraldo) Perdomo and (Alek) Thomas being out, the sort of guys we have running around and playing small ball and creating a certain level of offense. It’s sort of been reduced now to Jake (McCarthy) and Corbin in a lot of ways that have a lot of that in their game … Our offense has been inconsistent through the first month and has put us in challenging situations and we need to get that straightened out. He’s a big player in all that. So it’s good to see him start to get rolling down the other side. He is such a good player that I would hope this is gonna continue for us.”

The D-backs returned Carroll back to the leadoff spot after he dropped toward the bottom of the order on April 24 while hitting .215.
