Sleeping With The Fishes
The final few weeks of the baseball season usually sees fans and the teams they root for in 2 boats, 1 boat was sunk weeks if not months ago and has everyone looking forward to the future and what they can possibly get excited about in the offseason, the other boat has holes in it […]
The myth of the Diamondbacks September ‘meltdown’
The myth Now, a heavily upvoted shitpost from the Diamondbacks subreddit, and a Tweet by one of the most toxic members of fandom may not seem worth bothering about. And they probably are not. But it does reflect a general feeling that September is the cruelest month for Arizona fans. It is true that this […]

Mt. Frustration and Misery: the sequel
I’m fairly convinced that baseball fans are a special breed. There aren’t that many sports fans that can watch their team lose in heartbreaking fashion and then show up less than 24 hours later to support the team. It’s just too bad those special fans weren’t rewarded with a better result or better play. Instead, […]

Pain and Misery: Dbacks 2, Marlins 4
The Dbacks had a real opportunity tonight to ride the momentum of the late heroics from last night as well as pick up a game on the Padres and the Cubs, yet the offense sputtered again in fantastic fashion. Michael Soroka pitched well giving the team 5 IP allowing only 1 ER while striking out […]

Positive Impacts on Next Season
Inspiration. This season, many Diamondbacks were injured. Some of them performed very well. Next season, assuming they avoid injury, these high performers will play in more games. By playing more games, they will make the team better, perhaps pushing the team into solid playoff contention. Which of these players will make the most impact from […]
Come from behind win allows Diamondbacks to keep pace in Wild Card
Diamondbacks News Jim posted it in the recap, but, ya know what, right now I feel it bears repeating. (SI.com) Corbin Carroll’s Massive Walk-Off Keeps D-backs’ Playoff Hopes Alive The Arizona Diamondbacks were two outs away from taking a dive to 3.5 games back of the final Wild Card berth, staring down a 7-6 ninth-inning […]
Diamondbacks 8, Marlins 7: Not dead yet!
Record: 80-71. Pace: 86-76. Change on 2025: +4. I know I said I’d stay sober tonight. But I’m sure no-one will begrudge a small libation given the circumstances. It was not looking good for the Diamondbacks. The Padres beat the Rockies to extend their winning streak to eight games (five of those being one-run wins, […]

Snakepit Roundtable: Burnes, Gallen, Soroka return
All three of Burnes, Gallen, and Soroka returned from the IL this week. Which do you expect to have the biggest positive impact on the team? James Attwood: Probably Soroka. Burnes is still pitch-limited and is still looking for the feel and timing on his breaking pitches, especially the curve. Gallen has had a rough […]

Diamondbacks 2, Texas 6: Return of the One Big Inning
Well, you know what they say: “You can’t win ‘em all.“ On paper, it looked like maybe we should have won this one, and if you were keeping score, it would not have been lost at you that we basically won eight out of the nine innings that were played tonight. Sadly, however, that’s not […]

They were trailing 1-0 to the Rangers, starter Merrill Kelly was out, and the team had never really looked like scoring. But they then […]
