Last month around this time, it was easy to dismiss the Diamondbacks. They were a couple of games over .500. They had played one of the hardest schedules in baseball, but they had scored about as many runs as they allowed. They won some close games, had some fun moments. They were a good story, not necessarily a good team.…...
Is Brandon Pfaadt headed to Triple-A Reno after giving up five runs to the Boston Red Sox? It is hard to see it working out any other way. Meanwhile, the D-backs offense struggled to get anything going against Chris Sale. We also delve into the D-backs’ decision to option Dominic Fletcher to Reno and call up Jake McCarthy. Other topics…
How much is too much for the rarest Druw Jones baseball card in existence? There is a $250,000 bounty out for a card that matches this description. We also discuss our MLB Power Rankings, Trea Turner’s mom booing him, breaking news about the D-backs starting rotation, and more.
Before the season started, MLB.com polled league executives on their Rookie of the Year picks for 2023. In the National League, 22-year-old Diamondbacks phenom Corbin Carroll got 66 percent of the vote. So far, that choice looks like a good one.

Brandon Pfaadt had his first great outing of the year and Zac Gallen did what Zac Gallen does, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 3-1 series victory of the San Francisco Giants. We dive into the numbers to see what is and isn’t sustainable for the D-backs. We are also ready to name Dominic Fletcher as the greatest Italian baseball…
Entering the 2023 season, Dominic Fletcher was no higher than sixth on the Diamondbacks’ outfield depth chart. Corbin Carroll was the organization’s budding star. Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy were key building blocks for the future, and the latter was one of baseball’s most productive outfielders last year in the second half. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was sure to play an…
Did the Home Run Snake die so that the Arizona Diamondbacks offense could live? We investigate this, why Christian Walker was tossed, and more as we take a look at the D-backs 7-5 win over the Giants.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have seen enough of the Miami Marlins. Despite outhitting the Marlins in the series, the D-backs lose two out of three for the second time this season to Miami. We take a look at where things went wrong and the necessity to bounce back during a month filled with weaker opposition on the schedule.
Diamondbacks fans have long anticipated the major league debut of top pitching prospect, Brandon Pfaadt, as well as legal clearance for the player formerly deemed the organization’s top overall prospect, Kristian Robinson.
