Snake Bytes, 6/30: Giant Slayers

Gameday Thread, #84: 6/29 vs SF Giants
Series preview: The Giants are playing better than the Dbacks right now — wait, what?https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisco-giants-game-information/108335/series-preview-the-giants-are-playing-better-than-the-dbacks-right-now-wait-what Seems to have been accidentally overlooked, don’t expect much, just wanted to throw something up.
Series Preview #28: Giants @ Diamondbacks
After a rough series in Tampa, Arizona comes home to hopefully get right again against the flailing Giants. To say that Arizona had a rough go of things while in Tampa is putting things mildly. After a dreadful road trip, Arizona limps home with a record one game below .500 . They remain third in […]
Diamondbacks 1 @ Rays 5: Tampa Completes the Sweep
It was always going to be a rough outing for the Diamondbacks today. The Rays were going for the series sweep that would keep them in possession of first place in the AL East. Tampa sent Drew Rasmussen to the mound, he of the 2.62 ERA. Rasmussen wasted no time in the first inning, getting […]

Diamondbacks 2, Tampa 4: Fish House Blues
I was initially going to call this “Bouncy Castle Blues,” because that’s what Tropicana Field reminds me of as much as anything. With its synthetic fabric top, and its weirdly springy turf, and the fact that try as we might we never seem to play competent baseball there, it seems fitting. But that would have […]

I Guess It’s Time We Finally Talk D’Backs Pitching Prospects
Why I (Usually) Won’t Rank Dbacks Pitchers If it feels like I’ve been going out of my way to not talk about any of the pitchers in the Diamondbacks farm system, you’d be mostly correct thinking that. I am more comfortable analyzing the various aspects of a position player’s development than I am doing the […]
Snake Bytes 6/27: Tough Loss in Tampa
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks Reach Halfway Point with Same Record as Last YearZac Gallen had another terrible first inning. There’s no getting around that fact. But then, Gallen found his groove and looked much like the Gallen of old as he mowed down the next 15 hitters. But then, his luck ran out in the seventh […]
Personal Milestone Check-In: Halfway Edition
Introduction In the latest example of the linear passage of time, it’s already the halfway point of the baseball season as the D-Backs played their 81st game today in their loss against the Rays. This first half of the season has featured some high highs and some even lower lows. It’s also continued the mystifying […]
Diamondbacks 1, Rays 6: “Impressive” Game
Game Summary Impressive was the word that Steve Berthiaume kept coming back to when describing Zac Gallen’s start tonight. Can’t say many Diamondbacks fans would agree with that assessment; the ‘Pit sure wasn’t buying it. To be fair, Zac Gallen had one of his best in-game stretches of the season, setting down 15 straight at […]

Series Preview #27: Diamondbacks @ Rays
Good news. Bad news. For every series preview, there is good news and there is bad news. The good news is that the Dutch easily qualified for the next round. Ah, wait. That is good news, but not related to this series. Let me try again: the good news is that the Diamondbacks just had […]

Diamondbacks News (Burn City Sports) Diamondbacks’ Paul Sewald calls out Cardinals after rainout costs Arizona an off day The Diamondbacks and Cardinals were scheduled to conclude their four-game series Thursday, but with rain in the forecast, St. Louis announced on its X account that the game would be rescheduled for July 23.

Well-Rounded Team Play leads to a 9-4 convincing win
There are a variety of types of victories in baseball. You can have offensive blowouts, dominant pitching performances, slugfests with each team trading body blows among many others. But one of the most satisfying types in my opinion is an all-around team effort where each phase of the game performs well in support of each […]

Snake Bytes 6/24: E-Rod Rights the Ship
Diamondbacks News Late, Clutch Offense Salvages Win from E-Rod GemEduardo Rodriguez pitched 6.2 innings of scoreless baseball. He left with the score tied. But then, Nolan Arenado got key knock, giving the Diamondbacks their first hit with runner in scoring position in what seems like an age. Paul Sewald was terrible, but Torey Lovullo actually […]
Collective Exhale: Dbacks 4, Cardinals 3
For the vast majority of the night, this game was trending like so many others we have grown all too familiar with this season. Starting pitcher throws a great game, bullpen does their job, but the offense just couldn’t come through with the big hit with runners in scoring position. Fortunately for the Dbacks, that […]
