San Diego was unable to record a hit against the right-hander through five innings, but in the eighth and ninth innings, facing relievers, the Padres […]
And finally, the outfield. Due to the sheer number of non-roster invitees this spring (34 all told), it has been quite the process. The first part of this series was published almost six weeks ago, back on February 2. As a result, a fair amount of water has gone under the bridge between now and […]

Record: 10-12. Change on 2025: -1.5. 5-inning Record: 5-15-2. The Diamondbacks came back from five runs down, powered largely by Jacob Amaya’s grand-slam (below). An eighth inning home-run by Angel Ortiz then gave Arizona the lead, as they won consecutive games for the first time since March 4. It wasn’t a great day for the […]
Another double-dip day, and in the World Baseball Classic, Italy and Puerto Rico is already under way. Remarkably, the Italians put up a four-spot in the bottom of the first, so their Cinderella story continues. I’m trying to think of an equivalent team reaching the World Cup semi-final. Morocco were unexpected semi-finalists last time. Maybe […]

But if you can tear your eyes away from that, you can see the debut of Eric Hosmer on the Royals TV broadcast in Surprise, Arizona. It should be a good time. Here’s the lineup: Speaking of team USA in the WBC, […]
Firstly, this is going up early as it will also be a thread for the WBC quarter-finals, which get under way very shortly. We start with the appetizer of Korea taking on the Dominican Republic, and at 5 pm Arizona, we get the main course: USA vs. Canada. That’s of particular interest to us, because […]
There’s now less than two weeks to go until Opening Day, and things are definitely beginning to come into focus. We’ve lost our Opening Day starter, with Merrill Kelly’s nervous back ruling him out for that role. However, he started today’s game. Let’s start off with that section of the roster in more detail, shall […]

There are legitimate excuses about pitchers experimenting with different grips, situations, or just not concentrating as hard as they might during the regular season. If you layer those reasons on top of the typically ridiculously small sample sizes, I can understand why fans might wave away both […]

After losing by ten runs yesterday, the D-backs went one better (or worse?) this afternoon at Salt River Fields. It was an ugly afternoon for the Arizona pitchers, who handed out a dozen free passes to Colorado hitters, thanks […]

In March the sun rises in Arizona just before 7:00 a.m. It varies slightly from team to team but, for decades spring training work has generally been expected to start around that time.
