Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4: Good Enough!

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 5, Rockies 4: One-way traffic

The Colorado Rockies dug themselves into a few holes and weren’t quite able to climb out of them.

MLB Trade Rumors: 2 Potential Landing Spots for Ketel Marte

The Arizona Diamondbacks were taking calls on three-time All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte this past summer. They didn't really want to trade him, but it was known around baseball that they were at least listening .  With a middling start to the season (26-24 going into Saturday's action and 3rd place in the NL West), will they eventually decide to waive the white flag, save some money and reload? If so, Marte will still be able to bring them back a huge haul. But not if they wait too l...

Arizona Diamondbacks Gameday Thread, #50: 5/22 vs. Rockies

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 […]

The Cardinals were named after the color – not the bird

The Arizona Cardinals are the second-oldest continuous pro football team in North America, behind the Toronto Argonauts. However, no team in the NFL is older. A lot of sports teams have included a color in their team’s name. Look at today’s landscape to prove this point: Vegas Golden Knights, Toronto Blue Jays, Golden State Warriors, […]

The Diamondbacks released the 32-year-old right-hander from his Triple-A assignment with the Reno Aces. Ross posted a 4.29 ERA with a 12-to-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 21 Triple-A innings after being sent down.

Diamondbacks 6, Giants 3: Giant Brooms for Sweeps

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 […]
