Record 6-4. Change on 2025: +1.5. 5-inning record: 2-7-1. Another day, another come from behind victory. This one was at least slightly earlier. Arizona trailed 6-2 in the middle of the fifth, but put up a four-spot there to level the game. They then added three more the next time they were up to make […]

Back to Salt River Fields for the D-backs, who are now without most of their expected starting infield. Carlos Santana, Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo are now off to join their country for the World Baseball Classic, so won’t be back for a while. It’ll therefore be up to Nolan Arenado to marshal the infield […]

Record 5-4. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 2-7. Whenever a pitcher is leaving the mound with a trainer after having hit two batters and walked a third, while showing sharply lower velocity… Yeah, it’s never a good thing. Such was the situation this afternoon in Tempe for Brandyn Garcia. His fifth inning appearance was […]

Tempe Diablo is certainly one of the most picturesque of the Cactus League parks, with a wonderful backdrop of the Twin Buttes. Or is that Twin Butte? Google is indecisive on the matter. But it’s certainly iconic, and rather better than the 101 freeway which runs behind the fence at Salt River Fields. The D-backs […]

It’s another latercap, brought to you by my charming inability to plan ahead and impetuous decision-making, which has led to me sitting in the parking lot of this Peoria Lowe’s using their free wi-fi to push out a recap of a 3-1 Mariners loss to the Diamondbacks that will be as stale as old coffee […]

It feels so good to be back to doing recaps! Was a long offseason. Today was a picture perfect spring training evening in Peoria. The Dbacks took on the Mariners for their first night game of the season under a picturesque Arizona sunset. What a night for baseball. The Dbacks pitching tonight shined against the […]

Last time I was at Peoria Sports Complex, I was getting a COVID shot. Wasn’t yesterday either. Weird what sticks in your mind. Anyway, tonight sees the D-backs heading over for a potential get-together with Josh Naylor, who signed a long-term contract – 5 year, $92,500,000 – with Seattle. Though it’ll be a little odd […]

We’re coming towards the end of this little series, which has served its purpose of keeping us ticking over during the long, bleak weeks before spring training gets under way. But if we were somewhat self-referential with yesterday’s question about the Diamondbacks’ fanbase, I want to go fully self-referential today. Let’s have a love-fest! We […]

Record: 3-4. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 1-6. Well, if there was an award for Comment of the Thread, I’d have to give it to myself for my sarcastic suggestion after the D-backs got on the board: “The comeback starts here!” To be fair, Arizona had been trailing 8-0 at that point. Indeed, they […]

Surprise! No, really: Surprise. That’s where the D-backs are playing once again today, returning to the scene of the recent victory over the Texas Rangers, to play the other inhabitants of the complex, the Kansas City Royals. Never mind, it’s at Salt River Fields. The D-backs pitching has still left a bit to be desired, […]

Time to stare in the mirror, I guess! I’ve been part of the Diamondbacks’ fanbase, more or less since I came out to Arizona in November 2000. Initially, casually, but then steadily more actively, opening up this site just before the 2005 season. Since then I’ve been through the highs of a National League pennant, […]

Record: 2-4. Change on 2025: 0. 5-inning record: 1-5 And it was going so well, too… The D-backs jumped on the Dodgers’ Roki Sasaki in the bottom of the first. Nolan Arenado doubled in Geraldo Perdomo, and Ildemaro Vargas then doubled in a pair for a quick 3-0 lead. But it was more or less […]

The Evil Empire arrives at Salt River Fields, and the run they had last post-season is ongoing. The Dodgers have won their first four games, outscoring their opponents by a whopping 34-6 margin so far. So let’s hope this is not an omen of things to come in the regular season. But we are sending […]

First things first: the Dbacks Dispatch crew and I will put in our two cents on games and their outcomes, but like any seasoned Spring Training vet knows, the numbers on the scoreboard are like the $7 churros at the Phoenix Zoo – I ain’t buying it. Let’s focus on the players. Whether it’s the […]

Record: 2-3. Change on 2025: +1. 5-inning record: 1-4. That was satisfactory – and it didn’t look like it would be initially. Michael Soroka, in his debut for Arizona, pitched his team into a deficit before he recorded an out, opening up by allowing a triple and RBI single. But he gave up just a […]

The D-backs haven’t had the best start to spring, winning just one of four games, and that victory coming by a single run in the opener. They’ve lost three in a row since, and have conceded an average of ten runs per game in that time. The offense has been doing a reasonable job, its […]
