We are still celebrating the D-backs four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies, a feat they have not accomplished since 2002. We ponder if the upcoming series with the Atlanta Braves is considered a “must-win”, and we dive into the legal battle between MLB and Diamond Sports Group over RSN and direct-to-consumer rights.
Corbin Carroll gets his first career walk-off hit and helps the Arizona Diamondbacks complete their first sweep of the season. We take a look at the numbers in the series and discuss how the D-backs were able to overcome the curse of our watch alongs to win. We also have a very exciting announcement about the future of this show.
On May 31 at 9 a.m. Arizona time, Major League Baseball will start accepting ballots for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game in Seattle. And after back-to-back seasons of sending only one player, the Diamondbacks could have as many representatives as any team in the National League. In some ways, this is just common sense. The Diamondbacks are 31-23. They have…
Widely doubted outfielder Pavin Smith helped the Diamondbacks overcome an early deficit with a three-run homer in the second inning against the Colorado Rockies, and the D-backs led the rest of the way. Drey Jameson was outstanding out of the bullpen in his first appearance since being called up. We discuss Smith’s future and whether Jameson will remain a reliever…
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. After notching three more hits in Tuesday’s 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, Carroll is slashing .287/.379/.510 with seven…
May has been an eventful month for Lourdes Gurriel Jr. for two reasons. First, because on May 8, he obtained his United States citizenship in a moment that he deemed “one of the most important days of my life.” He was even able to celebrate with his brother, Yuli Gurriel, who happened to be in Arizona immediately afterward as the…...
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…
