How the Arizona Diamondbacks can reach the playoffs
Say what you like about the extra wild-card, it has certainly made things interesting. There’s really only a handful of teams in the NL who are out of the picture. Five (the Rockies, Giants, Mets, Reds and Nationals) currently have playoff odds below four percent, according to Fangraphs. Everyone else is at least in double […]

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 […]

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 […]
