This afternoon’s rubber match against the Arizona Diamondbacks started after a rain delay that lasted almost two hours. By the time first pitch finally came around one could hardly tell it had been pouring not too long ago. However, spirits were certainly damp as the Colorado Rockies went down early and failed to mount a […]

Before Sunday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding reported that the Rockies were optioning Zach Agnos to Triple-A and, in his place, recalling 27 year old right handed reliever Blas Castaño. Agnos had posted a 5.59 ERA over 29 innings for the big league club so far this season. Under the hood, this lofty […]
On Saturday, pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano 菅野 智之 made his ninth start with the Colorado Rockies and his fifth start at Coors Field. Sugano had a good day for the Rockies, pitching five innings and allowing two runs (both earned) on seven hits, and setting them up for a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, […]
People are supposed to live their lives and grow old. When young people are called from this earth, it never seems fair, or get an explanation as to why they were robbed of decades. Former Arizona Cardinals defensive end Josh Mauro passed away on April 23 at his home in Tempe, Arizona. We all know […]
I was pretty excited about this game, after our offense suddenly found itself in the same ballpark as our defense and our pitching last night. Eduardo Rodriguez, my favorite hologram—everybody’s favorite hologram, actually—was going for us after nearly pitching a complete game in his last outing versus the Mets, while the Rockies had Tomoyuki Sugano, […]
The Colorado Rockies notched a close win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in a bit of an odd game where the final score doesn’t quite reflect how many runners got on in a game where both teams combined for 21 hits. Pitchers and the defense were ultimately able to work out of trouble. Tomoyuki Sugano 菅野 […]

Diamondbacks News Merrill Kelly Throws Career First Complete GameMerrill Kelly took the mound to make his 178th MLB start in Colorado on Friday night, having never pitched a complete game. If not for one unfortunate pitch in the first inning, Kelly would not only have pitched his first ever complete game, but he would have […]
Introduction Baseball writers – and fans – love to use regression as a catchall for a players performance. Is there a player having a good start to the season or month? He’s probably due for some regression. A terrible slump for a former MVP? Just you wait until that positive regression kicks in. There’s certainly […]
The NFL does a great job of controlling the calendar. Long ago, training camps began in July, the season began in September, and by Christmas two teams played in the championship game. Then, in January, there was an owner’s meeting while all the players went to their second jobs. But now, the league has looked […]
This was not the start to the homestand the Rockies were hoping for. Colorado fell to Arizona 9-1 at Coors Field on Friday, dropping to 17-28 while the Diamondbacks moved to 21-22. The Rockies got bit early and spent the rest of the night trying to catch up, as Arizona turned an overturned call in […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks kicked the weekend off right with a big win in Denver. The headline from this one is all about Merrill Kelly and his first career Complete Game. Merrill finally had a good start against the Mets last weekend and he followed it up with quite probably the best start of his […]
With their “Rivalry Weekend” series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field set to begin tonight, the Colorado Rockies have announced multiple roster moves. Headlining the announcement is the news that top prospect Sterlin Thompson (no. 13 PuRP) has been recalled from the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes for his Major League debut. Thompson, 24, was selected […]
It seems almost impossible, but the fine people at DraftKings have dropped their lines for every single game of the 2026 NFL season, and the Arizona Cardinals have done it. The Cardinals opened the 2026 NFL season after their schedule was released as underdogs in all 17 games. I get it, the Cardinals are coming […]

Introduction On February 5th, 2026 Arizona Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen sent fan favorite infielder Blaze Alexander to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for relief pitcher Kade Strowd, along with two minor league prospects, RHP Wellington Aracena and infielder Jose Mejia. It definitely hasn’t been long enough to evaluate this trade fairly, and won’t be for […]
The Arizona Cardinals schedule for 2026 is out and even though we know the teams before hand, it is more brutal than expected. A week 14 bye week for a team that has the best odds of the first pick in the 2027 NFL Draft is actually insane. However, the way the schedule plays out, […]
Now we know. The Arizona Cardinals are going to have a lot of work to do early in the season, and then get a somewhat manageable end of the season schedule. The question becomes, who will be playing quarterback at the end? For now, let’s take a look at a game-by-game prediction for the Arizona […]

The 2026 NFL schedule release is happening tomorrow, but we have some ideas on when the Arizona Cardinals will not play, based on some rumors and some announcements we have seen so far we know that there are two things: First, the Cardinals will not play an international game this year if you are to […]
“We have to be better than this.” I don’t know if Torey said this phrase the past week. Probably not. Difference with previous seasons, in my opinion, is that this team was never bound for play-offs. The starting pitching has become worse over the years, with several big signings not living up to the money […]
Rangers 6, D-Backs 5
For the second night in a row, the D-Backs turned to a starting pitcher looking to return to form. Last night, that strategy worked out poorly and introduced more questions than answers. Tonight, it went substantially better as Ryne Nelson worked seven strong innings of three-run ball on just four hits. Nelson was inarguably the […]
