Latest news and updates about the Diamondbacks
Orioles are league leaders. Tonight the Diamondbacks will be starting the first game of a series that will wrap up their East Coast trip. After meeting the Mets in Flushing (I used to live on a 10 minute drive from Vlissingen, which is the Dutch village it was named after – just to provide you […]
The 2026 MLB season has had a very weird start. Many good teams — including the Cubs — are off to mediocre starts. In fact, other than the 11-4 Dodgers, the other 29 teams all have records between 10-6 and 6-10 entering Monday’s action: 10-6: Braves, Padres9-6: Pirates9-7: Guardians, Twins, Reds, Diamondbacks8-7: Orioles, Yankees, Rays, […]
The Arizona Diamondbacks are on a frustrating path. After a surprise trip to the World Series in 2023, they have been unable to recreate the magic. They won 89 games in 2024, which was good for third place in the NL West. It was also the number of wins needed to capture a wild card, […]
Game recaps [AZ Central] Diamondbacks, helped by a Phillies blunder, rally late to take series – Journeyman Ildemaro Vargas was their leadoff hitter in their series finale against the Phillies. Rookie Jose Fernandez hit cleanup. Geraldo Perdomo and Ketel Marte are hitting under .200. And pitchers Corbin Burnes, A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez, and outfielder […]
After a rough start to the season for the non-Dodgers teams in the National League West, the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks had strong weeks to build on from April 6-12. Arizona was break-even after a week and a half, but last week won a pair of road series against postseason hopefuls, winning two […]
Another uninspiring day for the Phillies, another loss for a series. The Diamondbacks are one of those pesky teams that cannot be allowed to hang around at all, lest they get a chance to chip away. Unfortunately, the Phillies ran into some strange outs to thwart comebacks they could have attempted. They’ll get another chance […]
Since last we spoke, the Diamondbacks have been one of the hottest teams in baseball. What’s going right for them? Wesley: Eduardo Rodriguez, Zac Gallen, Jonathan Loáisiga, Corbin Carroll, Ildemaro Vargas, Jose Fernandez, and the unfortunately now injured Lawlar and Moreno have all been key drivers of this early success, in my opinion. Makakilo: Two […]
After a mostly ugly series at San Francisco, a return home to play the Arizona Diamondbacks should have helped get the Phillies back on track. But the ugly play largely continued against Arizona, and a slew of self-imposed mistakes caused the Phillies to lose the game – and the series – on Sunday by a […]

After pulling out a narrow win on Saturday afternoon, the Phillies will go for the series win against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Andrew Painter will make the third start of his young career in the rubber match. The Diamondbacks will go with veteran righthander Zac Gallen. Gallen has had success against the Phillies over […]

Less than twenty-four hours after the Diamondbacks managed to overcome a disastrous first inning from Michael Soroka, they had the chance to do it again, thanks to the kind of performance we’ve sadly become accustomed to from Brandon Pfaadt in 2026. On paper, at least, this seemed like a winnable game, and maybe even one […]
In last night’s game, the Phillies jumped out a big lead in the first inning, only to do nothing the rest of the way but give back the lead and the win. Today, the roles were switched. Arizona got out to a quick lead, then watched their starter give it all back. I like it […]

Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks Mount Four-Run Comeback to Take Game One in PhillyMichael Soroka had his first clunker of the year, but he still managed to limit the damage after a four-run first inning to keep the team in the game. Then, the Diamondbacks went to work on Philadelphia’s bullpen. Diamondbacks Five-Run Fifth Powers Comeback VictoryMichael […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks starting rotation has had a habit of being sunk by the “Blow Up Inning” over the last couple seasons, and after the first inning tonight, I thought Soroka was just another member of the club. In a rare twist on that tired trope, the Diamondbacks offense punched through with their own […]
The Phillies gazed upon their scoreless streak and said: no more. And so it was, in the bottom of the first inning on April 10th, 2026, that Trea Turner singled to left, and Kyle Schwarber walked, and Bryce Harper hit one to right to score Turner. The scoreless streak thus passed away at the age […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks: Let’s talk about it.
Which team is projected as better? On 9 April, FanGraphs projected the Phillies to win more games (89 vs 81). Nevertheless, both teams have significant odds of reaching the playoffs (68% and 35%). And either team could win this series. Why cheer for the Diamondbacks? The Diamondbacks values include don’t cheat by taking performance enhancing […]
Considering the competition, a .500 record on the Phillies’ six-game road trip was disappointing. But considering the stadiums they had to play in, the result was acceptable. Can we just burn Oracle Park to the ground? The Phillies will now have nine straight games at home. It’s still plenty early in the season, but with […]
Diamondbacks News (New York Post) Mets waste Nolan McLean’s strong start as pen falters late in loss to Diamondbacks For six-plus innings Thursday night, Nolan McLean dazzled at Citi Field. He allowed just a pair of hits and his stuff was especially filthy, as Arizona hitters were largely overmatched. But lefty Eduardo Rodríguez was nearly […]
Meet the Mets Nolan McLean was great, but the Mets’ lineup and bullpen very much were not as the team dropped the rubber game of its series with the Diamondbacks last night at Citi Field.
