An unofficial Arizona Diamondbacks community and blog
Ah, Zac Gallen. Our one-time ace, more recently our collective repository of remarkably persistent hopes and dreams and aspirations of the “he just needs to get his mojo back and he’ll be an ace again!” variety, our late-breaking $25 Million Dollar Man (with some money deferred, of course) as we got ready to set sail […]

Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks Have Win Streak SnappedOf course it would be the lowly Rockies that gave the Diamondbacks fits on Friday. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Exits Game with Hamstring TightnessThe veteran suffered a torn right ACL on Sept. 1, 2025, having to be carted off at Chase Field to end his campaign. Gurriel worked tirelessly to […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks starting rotation has been on another level over the last couple weeks, and that trend continued tonight with Michael Soroka earning another Quality Start, their league-leading 13th this month. With only 78 pitches thrown after six innings and only a single run allowed, it looked like it was a no-brainer for […]
Lineups not yet announced We did previously highlight how well the D-backs’ bullpen is pitching this month. While their ERA has crept up a little from the sub-two figure, it’s still a thoroughly respectable 2.08. That’s fourth-best in the majors, and they are also the only bullpen to have a WHIP below one. Over 47.2 […]
Diamondbacks News (The Denver Post) Rockies waste Zach Agnos’ brilliant start, get walked off by D-backs Colorado’s demise on Thursday began ominously when reliever Juan Mejia walked Moreno to open the frame. Mejia also walked Ketel Marte to move Moreno into scoring position. All told, Colorado pitchers issued eight free passes. The Rockies, who were […]
Introduction As Spring Training was getting underway this year, I wrote up an article on how the Diamondbacks might be able to improve themselves defensively as they attempted to navigate their way back into the playoffs. That argument centered on two changes: roster changes/upgrades and individual improvement from several younger players becoming increasingly comfortable and […]
On Thursday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks were able to begin the weekend series against the Colorado Rockies with a walkoff win to push the team’s winning streak to a season-long 5 games. This team has now won 9 of their last 12 games. This game was won due to the continued success of this Arizona […]

It may seem obvious that the Diamondbacks are better than the Rockies. Up front, my expectation is for the Diamondbacks to win this four-game series against the Rockies. Nevertheless, let’s compare the teams. Top-level comparisons follow. The 3-game Series at Coors. In the previous two seasons, these teams split their games at Coors, but the […]

Every time the D-Backs have a dramatic finish to a game like Ketel Marte’s electric walk-off homer last night, I always half expect the team to show some lethargy the next day. That certainly hasn’t been the case this year to this point and that’s a real credit to the coaching staff and the veteran […]

The ABS Challenge System had indirect impacts beyond the challenges. As you know, this season the ABS challenge system arrived in the Majors. What you may or may not know is that the initial ball-strike calls had a higher accuracy this season. Let’s focus more specifically, on the overall accuracy of umpires calling pitches just […]
Game Recaps Diamondbacks get production from entire lineup in win over Giants by Alex Weiner [Arizona Sports] Not to be lost on Monday was a solid performance from D-backs starter Zac Gallen, who delivered his first quality start (six-plus innings, three earned runs or fewer) since April 1. That was the game when he blanked […]
Record: 23-23. Pace: 81-81. Change on 2025: -1. I’ve learned not to tempt the baseball gods by starting on the recap too early. The only time I did so far this season, was the game against the Orioles, where the D-backs led 7-2 in the middle of the sixth inning. It… did not end well. […]

Whenever we feel down, we will always have the Rockies to feel better again, right? Wesley: I’m writing this Sunday morning after tough luck loss to the Rockies on Saturday, so not always! The Angels have it much worse. Still, nice to see Merril Kelly and the D’Backs offense turning it around for a game […]
The Diamondbacks did what they were supposed to do in Colorado and took two out of three against the Rockies, though it was touch and go there for a while. They remain below .500, however, and they’ll be looking for another series against a struggling team to leapfrog up past that point again. The Giants […]
