Latest blog entries from Phoenix teams across every league
Adrian Del Castillo was coming into the 2025 season with the glow of a successful 2024 behind him. Clayton accurately identified his defense as an issue in that review, but he and all other parties agreed that the bat could play at the major league level. The question would be come, could it overcome the […]
In one of the less surprising free-agent signings of the winter, Merrill Kelly has returned to the desert, signing a two-year contract with the Diamondbacks, for a reported $40 million. It’s a deal which both sides had clearly been keen on pursuing, even before Kelly was dealt to the Texas Rangers at the deadline. The […]
The Texans have had a lot of different types of games this season. They’ve had the low-scoring thrillers, improbable comebacks, and they’ve had surprise upset performances. But, one thing that eluded the a Texans for the majority of this year was having a complete game. A game where you left feeling good about the offense, […]
The Arizona Cardinals have Trey McBride. Everyone else doesn’t seem to be playing at that level, although you can show some excitement about Walter Nolen, it would just be nice to see him healthy week in and week out. However, the Arizona Cardinals are just a bad football team with one elite player in McBride […]
Arizona Cardinals kick returner Andre Baccellia will not return to the game versus the Houston Texans. He was taken off the field on a cart with 1:46 left before halftime. Baccellia took the kickoff after Texans’ kicker Kai Fairbairn had converted on a 22-yard field to advance the lead to 23-7. Baccellia took the kick […]
Of all the seasons in Diamondbacks’ history, this was certainly one of them. Given the mediocrity of the final record, I think it’s surprising how many of the games might stick around – just not for the right reasons. We score ten runs in an inning! And lose… A player hits four home-runs in a […]
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. This week, the Texans have a far less daunting challenge ahead of them than they did last week. It’s the Arizona Cardinals who have had a terrible season, coming in without Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison, Jr., and several of their starters. That’s the good news. […]
I am genuinely curious if anyone sees the Arizona Cardinals having a chance in this one. The Cardinals are big time underdogs heading into their matchup with the Houston Texans, and there are serious questions on if they can survive this week. With the Texans defense, it could be a miserable day at the office […]
Multiple sources this morning are reporting that the Diamondbacks have re-signed starting pitcher Merrill Kelly to a two-year deal. The cost is apparently $40 million, which is both higher than expected, and also seems more than the D-backs were generally expected to be spending. It’s a return to Arizona for Kelly, of course. He came […]
In case you missed the early morning news, the Arizona Diamondbacks have pulled off the rare “trade away your player and re-sign him in the offseason” move with Merrill Kelly. Let’s start there today. When the Diamondbacks traded Kelly to the Rangers this July, they landed Kohl Drake (#6 prospect in the D-Backs system), Mitch Bratt (#9), and David Hagaman (#15), a tidy sum for a 36-year-old rental starter. And now they get him back, albeit at a very substantial $20M per year for tw...

Guys, I am not going to lie. This was not a fun podcast to tape. The reason being in this is one of the more lopsided matchups I can remember featuring the Arizona Cardinals. The Houston Texans elite defense is just different, and the Arizona Cardinals offense is a MASH unit, and their offensive line […]

Overview Background and Peak Expectations Alek Thomas burst onto the prospect scene with a standout 2021 minor league season (.313 AVG, 18 HR, .953 OPS) while showcasing elite center field defense. Entering 2022, MLB.com ranked him as the Diamondbacks’ top prospect and No. 18 overall—ahead of future stars like Corbin Carroll and Elly de la […]
The Texans are hitting their stride and it couldn’t come at a better time. Fortunately, the Arizona Cardinals are not on the same caliber as the Chiefs, Ravens, or Bills. Unfortunately that also stinks of a trap game. Will you be able to watch the game on Sunday? Well, let’s check jolly old 506 Sports […]
The Texans are the hottest team in football, winning eight of their last ten, and somehow it still feels like there’s another level they haven’t reached yet. Houston marched into Kansas City and took down Patrick Mahomes in a game both teams desperately needed — a win that signals just how far this franchise has […]
The Los Angeles Rams rebounded from a loss to the Panthers to blowout the Arizona Cardinals and head into their Week 15 matchup against the Lions in first place. Not just in the division, but in the entire NFC playoffs. Over 96% of Rams fans voted this week that they are confident in the direction […]
There are times where I have to wait until the last minute possible to write up the winner, because it is not clear who it is going to be. This was not one of those times. The victor always seemed likely, though I do have to feel for Brandon Pfaadt, whose “incomplete game shutout” would […]
Happy Saturday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals take on the Houston Texans on Sunday, but before that we need to take a look back at the debacle of the Arizona Cardinals loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Was there anything to take away from the game that was a positive? What is happening on […]
Today, the Arizona Diamondbacks made official the free-agent signing of pitcher Michael Soroka, who is expected to become part of the Opening Day rotation for the team. To make room for the player on the 40-man roster, Arizona designated pitcher Bryce Jarvis for assignment. GM Mike Hazen spoke to the media this afternoon, explaining what […]
Overview 2025 review I was a little surprised to realize Morillo appeared in as many as forty-two games for the D-backs this year. Only Jalen Beeks and Ryan Thompson pitched more often, and Juan took the mound more often than many more well-known names. It may be because he didn’t see very many high-leverage situations: […]
