An unofficial Arizona Diamondbacks community and blog
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Introduction I struggle with failure. It’s one of many, many, many reasons I was never going to be a professional athlete – particularly a baseball player given the sport’s inherent propensity for failure. No matter how many times someone told me, “Even the best ballplayers fail seven out of ten times” I was always too […]

After last night’s heartbreaking walkoff loss, the combination of a sluggish start to the season for the offense and an unusual cold snap in the New York area would probably have resulted in a slow start for most teams. Instead, the D-Backs looked extremely well-prepared and aggressive, scoring early and often to immediately put the […]
