Corbin Carroll breaks hand

Well, this sucks. News out of Salt River Fields this morning, that Corbin Carroll suffered a broken hamate bone in his right hand, during live batting practice. This is going to cause him to miss significant time in spring training, and almost certainly on into the regular season. We do not know yet how bad […]

Player Grades – Recapping the Mavericks vs. the Suns

The Dallas Mavericks continued their road trip against the Phoenix Suns with hopes of ending their season-high seven-game losing streak. Instead, their skid stretched to eight games after a 120-111 loss that was nowhere near as close as the score would indicate. Let’s get to the grades! Tyus Jones: C 2 PTS / 2 REB […]

Reese Olson out for the 2026 season after shoulder surgery

Alright, this we did see coming. After two years of shoulder trouble, and seven months removed from his last start, it was clear that if Reese Olson was still having issues, it was probalby time for surgical intervention.

Are there Arizona Diamondback untouchables?

This week saw the debut of Scoot Henderson and Deni Avdija’s return from injury, but it was Toumani Camara who […]

Is Kade Strowd the Best Offseason Acquisition?

Inspiration. The Diamondbacks traded away Blaze Alexander.  Many months ago, I saw the possibility that he might outperform Jordan Lawlar.  Was it my tendency to root for the underdog?   Now, my view is that the two were going to be worlds apart.  Therefore, the loss by trading him away was small. The big question:  Will […]

Cardinals Free Agency Tracker: Offensive Guard David Edwards

The Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line ranked #26 for the 2025 NFL season. Yeah, that’s pretty bad. To be fair, a lot of situations occurred to help drive that number way down.

One Cardinals DC candidate has pulled out of consideration

Now that newly-minted head coach Mike LaFleur has rearranged the furniture in the big office, he is still attempting to fill out his coaching staff so that the process of building this Arizona Cardinals 2026 roster can officially begin. One position of great need is to get consistency with the defense. That begins by hiring […]

Are the D-backs actually trying to contend?

Week two of these daily questions gets under way, with the (vague) theme this week being rosters, expectations and reality checks. Arizona enters 2026 coming off a sub-.500 season, and signed just one of MLB Trade Rumors Top 50 Free Agents. And that was Merrill Kelly, who was here for most of the season anyway. […]

Open vent thread

This will be the last weekend without baseball, potentially until November, with Game 7 of the 2026 World Series scheduled for October 31. The Super Bowl is tomorrow (though we’re going to the RenFair), and football will then be done – mercifully, if you’re a Cardinals fan. The off-season is, effectively, over. So, before players […]
