An unofficial Arizona Diamondbacks community and blog
In a video posted by MojoSportsLLC a few days ago, Luis Gonzalez talks about a very subtle easter egg planted in the background of one of his baseball cards. While holding his 1994 Donruss Studio card, Gonzo points out that he hung a rubber rat in his locker that can be seen just above his […]
With an off-day today, it seems like a good time to take stock of the early going. We have now completed two turns around the rotation, and Arizona has gone 5-5 against a trio of teams Fangraphs currently has at better than sixty percent odds to make the postseason. Could certainly be worse. [Looks over […]
Recaps [Dbacks.com] Stars align! Marte hits walk-off double after Carroll’s clutch triple – “I just tried to have a good at-bat for my team,” Marte said on the D-backs’ postgame show. “I’ve been hitting the ball hard. That’s me right there.” Marte — who achieved 10 years of Major League service time Friday and still […]
By the time this is published, three series will be in the books, and it’s been the best of times and the worst of times. Initial thoughts on the whip lash? James: The team’s lack of overall depth is staring them straight in the face. Paul Sewald is still a head-scratching signing by the front […]
Record 5-5. Pace: 81-81. Change on 2025: 0. The D-backs blew leads of 3-1, 4-3 and 5-4, but managed to prevail in the bottom of the tenth inning. Ketel Marte swatted the first pitch he saw over the head of the Atlanta right-fielder, driving in Manfred Man Jorge Barrosa from second for our first walk-off […]

Team News Michael Soroka gives Diamondbacks another strong impression in win over Braves “I think we fell behind a little more than we would have liked, but (catcher Gabriel Moreno) and I made some good decisions with some pitches late in counts, good pitches with guys in scoring position, let the defense work and got the win,” […]
Okay, so this was a strange one. As was noted in 1AZFan1’s recap of last night’s shutout loss, our offense has been completely AWOL for several days now. This is something we’ve seen happen plenty over the last several years, but these multi-day offensive outages get exponentially more concerning when, as I and others have […]

Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks Waste a Second E-Rod GemEduardo Rodriguez gave the Diamondbacks as good an opportunity to win on Friday as anyone could ask for, throwing seven scoreless innings. Unfortunately, Arizona’s offense was held even quieter. Offense, Sewald Spoil E-Rod GemArizona did not even register their first hit until the sixth inning and never had […]
Game Summary Another Friday night, another tough loss. This week’s episode featured outstanding starting pitching from the hologram himself, Eduardo Rodriguez, as well as some incredible defense. Unfortunately, the offense didn’t come along for the ride and is now riding a streak of 3 runs scored in 27 innings since that 3-run go-ahead bomb off […]

This is unfortunate. The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 40. As if last night’s game wasn’t sucky enough already. Lawlar was hit on the wrist last night, by a pitch in the seventh inning from the Braves’ Osvaldo Bido. Initial X-rays proved negative at the time, but […]
It’s fairly well-accepted that assigning wins and losses are a flawed metric. As we say earlier in the week, pitchers like Tarik Skubal can have an excellent game, but still get tagged with the L through no fault of their own, simply because the offense has a bad day. Worse, relief pitchers can vulture wins […]
Diamondbacks news Let’s start with the good news Okay, hope you enjoyed that because that’s pretty much where the happy news ends. (Burn City Sports) Big inning problems continue for Diamondbacks in blowout loss to Braves Thursday’s game marked another instance this season in which the D-Backs have struggled to limit damage once an inning […]
Unfortunately, the Diamondbacks fell victim to an early-season clunker in the series opener, thanks to an explosive eight-run fifth inning from the visiting Atlanta Braves. Getting bitten by the big inning is quickly becoming an unwelcome narrative for this young Arizona club. In a game that offered few positives, one standout moment provided a bright […]

Introduction The Dbacks farm system could be described as a top heavy system, that ranks in the middle of the pack overall out of all 30 team’s farm systems, and I wouldn’t disagree at all with that assessment. While the Diamondbacks have drafted, signed, and developed some really great hitters in recent years such as […]

If you look at the current Diamondbacks’ win-loss record, you could say that the season is going according to expectations, although, all truth told, the Diamondbacks do not necessarily have an easy start of the season with the World Series champions in our first series, a 2025 play-off team in our second series and a […]
There’s always a worry that a team will come out flat the day after an emotional victory like last night’s come-from-behind win. That’s why it’s important to have a strong performance from your starting pitcher – particularly with this team’s bullpen – and Zac Gallen delivered exactly what the team needed. Unfortunately, he was lined […]
March results When we checked in at the beginning of March, spring training was under way. We had addressed the first-base situation, with Carlos Santana signed to provide veteran presence. However, Corbin Carroll had been forced to miss time due to a broken hamate bone in his hand – though fortunately, that proved to be […]
