All-Star Game Discussion
Starting pitcher for the AL is Toronto’s Dylan Cease, the first Blue Jay to do so since 2009, when Roy Halladay did so. On the mound for the NL will be Cristopher Sánchez of the hometown Phillies. Weirdly, the last Phillies pitcher to start the All-Star Game was… Roy Halladay, in 2011. This is the […]

Diamondbacks First Round Picks Who Made an Impact
Inspiration. On Saturday, I was optimistic about who the Diamondbacks drafted in the first round: Ryder Helfrick and Blake Bryant. “Helfrick is the best defensive catcher in the class… If they stick, the [batting] improvements [better swing decisions and moved away from the plate] this year give him a chance to be an All-Star.” — Keith […]

Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks must keep newfound attitude flowing post-All-Star break by Dan Bickley [Arizona Sports] Last dances matter. So do last stands, especially for a baseball team, an era and a long-tenured manager who keeps defying the odds. The Diamondbacks are not done yet. In an alternative universe, the Diamondbacks might be reeling and tumbling into the All-Star […]
MLB Home Run Derby Gameday Thread
I’m not sure how much traction this will actually get, since it’s being shown on Netflix this year. We canceled our Netflix subscription in January last year, after they announced another price hike, and really haven’t particularly missed it since then. So we will not be watching the Derby this year. But some of you […]
What can the Diamondbacks do to move forward from .500?
The Diamondbacks continue to hang at the .500 mark, give or take. Do you see a path forward to break out of that rut? James Attwood: Bottom line, the team, top to bottom, needs to get more consistent and find a way to stay healthy. Granted, that’s easier said than done. But if they can […]

Open Draft Thread: Day 2
Well, that was quite a day one, wasn’t it? Who knew that was going to happen? I certainly didn’t. Okay, I’m ‘fessing up to the fact I am actually writing this thread on Thursday afternoon, and so have absolutely no idea what’s going to have happened on Day 1. With the Diamondbacks not picking until […]

Diamondbacks 9, FTD 2: Greetings from Chez Tawa?
After a somewhat surprising (and surprisingly emphatic) win against the Doyers last night in their house thanks in large measure to Tim Tawa busting out, it seemed honestly pretty unlikely to me that we’d knock them off again, especially with Yoshinobu Yamamoto taking the mound for them and Brandon Pfaadt going for us. Don’t get […]
D-backs @ Dodgers Discussion
Just a short entry today, and probably the same tomorrow, as I am otherwise occupied. I’ll just say that, suddenly, the D-backs appear to be looking like an actual baseball team again. Who knew? Yesterday, it was not Arizona who were making dumb errors, playing sloppy baseball and handing the opposition gifts. It was the […]

Diamondbacks Take with the 31st Overall Pick RHP Blake Bryant
Write-up to follow! But for now… And now, back to the regularly scheduled coverage, assuming no one crashes any further power poles on the outskirts of town. The Diamondbacks have selected a prep arm with the 31st pick in this year’s draft. This particular selection is something of a surprise. There are prep arms that […]

Open Draft Thread: Day 1
The 2026 MLB draft gets under way right now, and there have been a few changes on previous years. Not the least that we are starting on the Saturday morning before the All-Star break. Last year, things got under way on the Sunday night, with the first three rounds, and the bulk of the action […]
The Arizona Diamondbacks and the 2026 MLB Draft, Part 4: Draft Day Strategies
The BLUF The Diamondbacks find themselves in an unenviable position when they take to the podium to announce their selections in this year’s draft.
