The National League West sent two teams to the postseason in each of the previous six years. The San Diego Padres accounted for four of those, with the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks making it once each since 2020.

A week ago, after another poor Tuesday performance in a home loss to New Mexico, Chip Hale floated the idea of cancelling some upcoming midweek games in order to keep his pitching fresh for the weekend. Whether that plan is still under consideration is unknown, but it was evident Hale wasn’t going to pass up […]
Every spring brings the smell of grass, the sunshine at Salt River Fields, the eternal hope that only Spring Training can provide. It also inevitably brings a litany of new food offerings at Chase Field. Some are basic ballpark fare. A beer cheese hotdog, for example. Some are much needed offerings to appeal to a […]
Next time, it counts. Because this time, it sure didn’t. Michael Soroka was slapped around, allowing as many hits as outs recorded – ten of each.

Whether you will be able to tell the difference between that and last night’s two-hit shutout, is a valid question. But after today, we can hopefully breathe a sigh of relief […]
Inspiration. In the AZ Snake Pit’s pre-season wagers, I risked embarrassment. Three of my wagers depend on Geraldo Perdomo. But what if Perdomo’s performance regresses from last season’s highs? That could tip the Diamondbacks below 81 wins. And three of my five wagers would be losers. Let’s look at what will likely happen. Was […]

Sometimes you’re the bug, and sometimes you’re the windscreen. After a ten-run victory in the Cactus League finale yesterday, it was not a happy return to Chase Field for the D-backs. They were held to just two hits – both of them off the bat of Pavin Smith – as former Diamondback Slade Cecconi and […]

No. … Wait, you want more? How about in bold? No. Ok, I guess I should probably show my working a little bit. So what I did was gather up the D-backs’ spring training results for each season since 2003 (which is where ESPN’s statistics begin), with the exception of 2020 – when both spring […]
