Recaps [Arizona Sports] Eduardo Rodriguez nearly earns complete game in win vs. Mets – Torey Lovullo and starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez made a deal after the eighth inning of Rodriguez’s gem during a 5-1 win over the New York Mets on Sunday. Rodriguez had thrown 91 pitches and held the Mets to one run, so […]
In the latest episode of Dbacks Dispatch, the Diamondbacks finally offered something for us all to look forward to discussing with co-workers this Monday morning. After a long stretch of frustration since the Blue Jays visited Chase Field, the team took two of three games from the New York Mets. The atmosphere around the club […]
Another disappointing week, what are your first thoughts? Spencer: Average teams play like this. The offense is anemic. The pitching had an apocalyptic week last week. This version of the team is what I expected and why my win total projection was so low. James Attwood: This is the sort of thing that happens when […]

Introduction Not too long ago, I asked the question of ‘Is it time for the D’Backs to call up these top prospects from AAA?’ On Friday, we got a partial answer to that question. Top prospect Ryan Waldschmidt was called up while struggling CF Alek Thomas was Designated For Assignment (DFA’d). It still remains to […]
Team News That’s more like it for Merrill Kelly in Diamondbacks’ win vs. Mets “You guys have seen me long enough to know that if I’m commanding the ball, I’ve got a pretty good chance,” Kelly said. “If I’m not, it’s going to be a long day for me. … I’ve been putting myself in […]
So today was Merrill Kelly’s fifth start of the season, after having his spring training cut short and then a lengthy rehab period to start the year. He entered the game carrying an unsightly 9.95 ERA, and while our broadcasters kept going on and on last Sunday about how he was “finally turning the corner,” […]

There’s no arguing that the Diamondbacks offense has taken a step back this season. Last year, they ranked sixth overall in runs per game at 4.88. This season, after last night’s extra-innings loss, they are below league average (4.38 vs. 4.47). And if you break it down further, to the individual level, perhaps the biggest […]
Diamondbacks News Snakes Fall to Mets in ExtrasRyan Waldschmidt made his MLB debut coming off the bench for Arizona. He singled in his first Major League at-bat. However, the spark of the highly-anticipated rookie making his debut was not enough to wake the offense up. The Diamondbacks still managed only one run across ten innings, […]
Game Summary Let’s look back at another close loss for the 2026 Diamondbacks – or don’t and just skip straight to venting in the comments if you wish. For those of you still here, away we go. Ryne Nelson put together his second straight strong start in May after scuffling through the month of April. […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 38. The buzz about Waldschmidt has become increasingly loud of late. MLB Pipeline has listed him as the team’s best prospect, and in the top fifty overall in baseball. He’ll be making his debut less than two years after being picked […]
The Diamondbacks are struggling, to say the least. They’re coming off another losing series, this time to the Pirates, where they had one game where everything went swimmingly, then ran into the buzzsaws of Skenes and Present Day Gallen. They’ve lost seven of their last ten, and they are already 5.5 games behind the Dodgers […]
Diamondbacks News (Arizona Sports) The good and the not-so-good from Zac Gallen in Diamondbacks’ loss to Pirates Gallen drew a season-high 15 whiffs (swings-and-misses), nine with his slider and six with the curveball (none with the fastball), according to Statcast. Gallen’s arsenal has changed this year. His curveball does not drop like it used to, and he […]
The Dbacks dropped the series finale and the series on Thursday afternoon as the Dbacks offense simply did not show up to the ballpark for the second straight game. Alex D’Agostino said it best on twitter: The Diamondbacks just lost a series in which none of their starters went less than six innings and no […]
Introduction I suspect like many of you, I am a sucker for underdog stories. I think that’s why I’m such a passionate baseball fan. There are so many examples of those stories in the sport – from unlikely teams making magical runs to the World Series to players whiling away in the minors before finally […]

Team News Soroka on short end of pitchers’ duel against Skenes, Pirates“Oh, boy,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said as he sat down for his postgame press conference. “Paul Skenes showed why he’s one of the best pitchers in baseball. He went out there and executed a game plan. He wasn’t just relying on his fastball. […]
Baseball is undoubtedly a team sport. In fact, I would argue it is the most intensely team-based sport among the major North American sports. Unlike leagues like the NFL or NBA, collecting a few stars on a baseball team can only make a marginal difference. If you have any doubt, baseball history is replete with […]
