Packers CB Keisean Nixon added to injury report vs. Cardinals

Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon was given an illness status on the team’s injury report adjustment on Saturday. He’s now listed as questionable for the game, as is cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), who apparently got injured during Friday’s practice. If, for some reason, Nixon and Hobb can’t play against the Arizona Cardinals this week, […]

Houston walks off Arizona on last-second field goal

The road has been very unkind to Arizona of late, with its previous four away games all losses by 20-plus points. Down two touchdowns entering the fourth quarter, another lopsided road defeat looked possible. Instead, the UA rallied to tie it with less than five minutes to go but never got the ball back. Ethan […]

Offseason Outlook: Arizona Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks' pitching staff was battered by injuries, leading to a deadline sell-off of most of their impending free agents. Arizona played surprisingly well in the second half to remain in the Wild Card picture. They came up a little short of a postseason berth, and they're now faced with the task of rebuilding the…

Fixing the 2026 Arizona Diamondbacks: Third-base

The hot corner was a solid position for the D-backs this season. All told, it came in at 2.0 bWAR above average, with the Giants and Matt Chapman the only NL team to be more productive there. This was mostly due to Eugenio Suarez continuing his second-half surge from last season. On July 21st, he […]

The Diamondbacks Bullpen

Inspiration. 59% of fans picked relief pitching as most responsible for Diamondbacks missing the playoffs per this AZ Snake Pit article.  It accurately pointed to stats like ERA, win probability, and very few shutdowns.

In the first week, he’s shown why. He’s 4-for-16 in his first four games with two walks and two strikeouts. The .250 batting average doesn’t […]

Offseason Plan Part 1: What is the Priority?

A lot has been published already about the Dbacks and what their offseason plans should entail.

Here’s what we know so far from the Arizona Diamondbacks leadership […]

Op-Ed: Keep the Roadrunners in Tucson

The Tucson Roadrunners season ended earlier than many of us anticipated. After falling to the Calgary Wranglers in a best-of-three first-round series in the Calder Cup Playoffs, much of the teams’ future remains shrouded in mystery. Back when reports were first emerging about the Arizona Coyotes’ pending move to Salt Lake City, additional reports were coming out about the future of the club’s AHL franchise. Then, a source reached out to me and said the plan, internally, was indeed to move...

In both matchups, the Coyotes did a good job at scoring first, only to see their opponents come back and tie the game. ...

Coyotes Game 80 Preview: Coyotes face Oilers in the penultimate game of the road trip

Game Preview The Arizona Coyotes’ final road trip has been exciting so far. They started with a commanding win over San Jose, only to get destroyed by the Seattle Kraken in their second game. Then, on Wednesday, after allowing the Vancouver Canucks to come back from a 3-1 deficit, Logan Cooley notched his 19th of the season to give the Coyotes their first win over the Canucks this season.

Coyotes Game 79 Preview: Yotes look to avoid getting swept by Canucks

Game Preview After an excellent start, the Arizona Coyotes’ season’s final road trip hit a snag. The Coyotes ran into a hot netminder in Philipp Grubauer last night and fell 5-0 to the Seattle Kraken. The first two times the Kraken and Coyotes met, they were tight games that needed overtime or a shoot-out to settle things. That was not the case last night, as the Kraken got two early goals and then kept going for a full 60 minutes. Giving up two early goals is enough to shake an...

Coyotes Game 78 Preview: Coyotes look to complete the sweep of the Kraken

GDT: Coyotes and revisiting Larsson vs Hall

Was Chia right? | Perry Nelson-USA TODAY Sports Coyotes on deck tonight in another late weeknight start! Get used to those as our odds of making playoffs are very good. Our odds of winning the Pacific are not. Feels like we will meet LA who has been killing it lately. Yotes have been better as of late and playing decent hockey. Only 2 losses in their last 10. 5-2-3. I’m not sure which goalie we start. Skinner has looked like a rookie in the second half of his first season. Campbell has ...

Are the Arizona Cardinals closer to playoff contention than we think?

The Arizona Cardinals have a new regime, likely roster turnover, and a quarterback who may not be ready to begin the 2023 season.  Stranger things have happened in recent NFL history. In 2020, the Cincinnati Bengals finished 4-11-1, yet they found themselves in the Super Bowl just one year later. In 2022, the Bengals proved […] Are the Arizona Cardinals closer to playoff contention than we think? - Raising Zona - Raising Zona - Arizona Cardinals News and Fan Community
