After losing their spring training home opener, the Colorado Rockies came back to soundly defeat their Salt River Fields roomies, the Arizona Diamondbacks, 11-6. For more details, go here. We’re not yet to the point in the season where we’re doing game recaps, but we wanted to share manager Warren Schaeffer’s postgame comments and some other […]
Record: 1-1. Change on 2025: +1. 5-inning record: 0-2. Yeah, after yesterday’s well-pitched endeavor, this was very much the opposite. It was probably worse than the score actually indicates, since the Diamondbacks put up a crooked number in both the eighth and ninth innings, to leave the final tallies looking more respectable than they deserved […]
Well, the D-backs are already off to a better spring start than they were in 2025. Last year, they lost their first three games, conceding a total of 32 runs in the process. So it was nice to see them put together a well-pitched game right out of the gate. On the other hand, opening […]
This piece was originally planned for the end of January. However, the Diamondbacks were still deep into the offseason rumours, so I gave them until the beginning of spring training to make their final moves before weighing in. As the 2025 season rolled to a close, the Diamondbacks found themselves in a somewhat unexpected position. […]
After falling to the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 in yesterday’s Cactus League opener, the Colorado Rockies will look to bounce back against the Snakes. Nolan Arenado connected on a home run against former teammate Antonio Senzatela early, and it proved to be the difference late in the game. It also gave fans their first look at […]
Diamondbacks News Lawlar Gets Center Field NodOnce the team takes the field today, Jordan Lawlar will begin to make his case for or against all the faith that has been placed in him over the last few years. Arenado Discusses Full Circle Home RunJake McCarthy was wearing Colorado purple and Nolan Arenado was wearing Arizona […]
We are Arizona fans, and that perhaps leads us to view the players on the team with rose-tinted glasses. Certainly, we’ve seen players where local opinion have changed dramatically once they become part of the D-backs. Zack Greinke might be the clearest example. He was a hated Dodger – not least for his part in […]
We’re all coming around on the Brooklyn Nets’ 2025 NBA Draft, so widely mocked that the Phoenix Suns didn’t mind gasping at it on social media. The Nets themselves are probably feeling better about their draft too, if you believe last summer’s rumors that Brooklyn tried to trade one or two of their five first-round […]
The Arizona Cardinals made a decision we had heard rumors about and ended up bringing back Nick Rallis as their defensive coordinator. That begs the question, was that the right move for the team? Jess and I discuss that along with the Cardinals defensive needs heading into the offseason, and that is a great discussion […]
The Colorado Rockies lost their spring training opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2. For more details, go here. We’re not yet to the point in the season where we’re doing game recaps, but we wanted to share manager Warren Schaeffer’s postgame comments. Here’s that Cole Carrigg triple: And here are Carrigg’s postgame comments as well […]
Record: 1-0. Change on 2025: +1. 5-inning record 0-1. The Diamondbacks got off to a winning start this afternoon, coming from behind with a two-run eighth inning to prevail over their SRF-mates from Colorado. It was a day for the new guys, with all three Arizona runs being driven in by players who weren’t part […]
Happy Friday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals have a lot of question marks heading into the offseason and the 2026 NFL Draft will be a chance to change some perceptions. My buddy Charles McDonald and his running mate Nate Tice had a new 2026 NFL Mock Draft on Yahoo! Sports and have the Cardinals […]
And so, it begins! The first time our D-backs have taken the field since September 28, and we now begin the slow march towards Opening Day, in slightly less than five weeks. You may be looking at the line-up above, and be going “Who?” with regard to our first starting pitcher of the season, Thomas […]
Baseball is finally back! After one of the most interesting offseasons in franchise history, the new era of Colorado Rockies baseball finally begins today with the first game of Cactus League play. The Rockies open up play against their roommates, the Arizona Diamondbacks, at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Antonio Senzatela will take the […]
Dalton Rushing got his first taste of the major leagues last season, and all of its ups and downs. Now, he heads into potentially his first full season in the majors. As the backup to Will Smith, it’d be tough for anyone to find a rhythm at the plate playing once or twice per week […]
How was the All-Star Weekend? As per always, I watched none of it. The only thing I really saw was an in-game dunk by Jaxson Hayes during the Slam Dunk Contest. Admittedly, I kind of loved that this was the moment that went viral. In a way, it exposed the shallowness of what the All-Star Weekend […]
The Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line was ranked #26 last year. Lots of players became injured, and at one time, it was a revolving door of new bodies. OG Will Hernandez was hurt, then returned, then got injured again. Both starting tackles ended up on IR. New coach Mike LaFleur could look at Mays in free […]
Last offseason’s trade between the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, that saw Kevin Durant get dealt to Houston, in exchange for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, five second-round draft picks and the 10th pick of the 2025 NBA Draft has been a franchise saver, of sorts, for the Rockets. Especially when considering the mountain of injuries […]
Diamondbacks News (MLB.com) What to know as D-backs gear up for Cactus League play Look for young arms early The names of the starting pitchers for the first three games of Cactus League play will likely not be familiar except to the diehard fans. Right-hander Tom Hatch will start the opener and there won’t be […]
The Arizona Cardinals have a new head coach who is an offensive-minded guy. But in order for an offense to be effective, it must possess a stable, consistent offensive line. Which, the Cardinals don’t have. On top of players that weren’t getting the job done last year, is the number of offensive line free agents […]
The latest Cardinals adding former Chiefs LB coach to staff | Clutch Points Former Kansas City Chiefs outside linebackers coach Rod Wilson is joining the Cardinals to work the same role, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Wilson also has playing experience in college and the NFL, but has been a coach in Kansas City […]
The music was bumping, the crowd leaned forward and the fiesta-themed jerseys once again felt right at home in a city that prides itself on keeping things weird. On a night when the energy inside the Moody Center built with every defensive stop and every finish at the rim, the San Antonio Spurs turned a competitive first half into […]
The Suns were missing their emotional leader in Dillon Brooks, who was suspended for tonight’s game after committing 16 technical fouls before the All Star Break. When Devin Booker couldn’t come out of the locker room after halftime with hip soreness, the Suns were wounded, and the Spurs took advantage. The Spurs fought their way […]
Well, it took a while – the first game is tomorrow – but the D-backs finally released their broadcast schedule for spring training. It does look like you will be able to follow the majority of games one way or another: we will actually be doing a thread every game, so you will have no […]
According to CBS Sports Matt Zenitz, Indianapolis Colts defensive quality control coach Brent Jackson is set to join the Arizona Cardinals coaching staff under their new head coach Mike LaFleur: Having joined the Colts in May of 2022, Jackson just finished his 4th season as Indianapolis’ defensive quality control—after previously working as a graduate assistant […]
