The Diamondbacks have gone 5-5 in their last ten as of writing, but still find themselves in an effective tie for the final Wild Card with the Padres. Are wins or just checking games off the schedule more important right now? Justin 27: I think wins are most important, regardless of whether or not they […]
The Astros announced that outfielder Jorge Barrosa has been claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

The D’Backs designated Barrosa for assignment two days ago, and […]
The Houston Astros are used to getting some great performances from veteran infielder Jose Altuve. Altuve provided yet another strong outing on Sunday, in a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Astros slugger is writing his name in the franchise history books. “Altuve ties Craig Biggio with 225 3-hit games. Most in franchise history,” Astros […] The post Astros’ Jose Altuve ties Craig Biggio in franchise history with incredible feat appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Diamondbacks came into the game looking for a series win, and with a little bit of luck, putting some more space between their competition for the final NL Wild Card spot. Having Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound was a point in their favor, but the offense still RVSP’d maybe when invited to the game. […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks are in the final game of their series against the Houston Astros, and there happened to be an accident of friendly fire on the field.

It was a disastrous road trip. The San Diego Padres had an opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the trailing Arizona Diamondbacks. Instead they played poorly, losing five out of six games, and are now a half game back in the Wild Card chase. It was a team-wide failure, for sure. Poor pitching, […]
I came into this game feeling as steeped in negativity and creeping doomerism regarding our offense’s recent struggles as I would imagine the rest of you all have been. It is, after all, a rather remarkable thing we achieved over the previous five games—only scoring six runs across forty-five innings, and having failed to drive […]
Saturday Night Bummer. A rare blown late inning lead by Houston. Diamondbacks 4 Astros 3. The night began with promise, thanks to a forged early lead which has been the formula for success of late. Taylor Trammell began things with a double, advancing to third on Yanier Diaz’s single. Yordan Alvarez […]

In last night’s 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Houston Astros closer Josh Hader joined some elite company and put himself atop an impressive list: The 32-year-old Hader is perhaps in the midst of his finest season. The 6x All Star and 3x NL Reliever of the Year is currently 4-1 with a career-best 0.70 […]
Chris Sale has needed to counter Cristopher Sanchez, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Brandon Pfaadt, Gerrit Cole, and Jacob Misiorowski in the last month. While the Braves haven’t beaten them all with Sale leading the way, the results have been terrific. How about 67 strikeouts, 4 walks and 1 home run allowed in 52 innings pitched in the […]
Diamondbacks right-hander Corbin Burnes is set to rejoin the club early next week, manager Torey Lovullo hinted to reporters, including Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Burnes has not pitched in the Majors since June of last year due to Tommy John surgery and, more recently, a teres major strain. Per Lovullo, the team may opt […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks are nothing if not consistent. Unfortunately, D-Backs fans would perhaps prefer a different sort of consistency. The Snakes scored 1 run for the 4th game in a row have gone hitless with RISP for just as many games. This is their longest streak of RISP ineptitude this season, breaking a tie […]
