Another Saturday game, another Zac Gallen start, another swirling bit of anxiety in the gullet as we waited to see which Zac we were going to get today. I remember the heyday of Gallen’s good times, when he really was the unquestioned ace of the rotation, rather than simply being the guy who happens to […]

Game Summary After a long and successful road trip, the Diamondbacks kicked off this six game homestand with a nearly drama-free victory over the defending AL Champs.

The Diamondbacks come into this series as one of the hottest teams in baseball. They’ve won seven out of their last ten, have only lost one series this season. They’re on fire.

Introduction Believe it or not, but we are a little over 10% of the way through the baseball season with most of the teams having played 18 or 19 games so far. That’s not enough time or opportunities to make any kind of definitive statements about any player or team, but it does feel like […]
Sometimes you need a clickbaity title for fun, and sometimes the extreme title is actually justified. This might be one of those times. In the early going, there aren’t a tremendous amount of statistics that mean much of anything, or at least that mean enough to re-evaluate what we think about a player. As an […]
The Diamondbacks may have got Merrill Kelly back while in Baltimore. But Arizona still currently have a full dozen players on the injured list. They are evenly split between hitters and pitchers, but two-third of them are on the extended 60-day injured list. With an off-day today, I thought it was a good opportunity to […]

Introduction Over the last few weeks, I’ve broken down the Dbacks top ten hitting prospects and a few honorable mentions. Originally, I had planned to break down the top ten pitching prospects this week, but I decided to instead focus on a few of the lesser known and unheralded prospects in the system who have […]
I have been very transparent in my love for these two franchises for very different reasons.
