Diamondbacks finish strong in 4-3 win over Pirates

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. Those wise words from Joc Pederson rang true for the Arizona Diamondbacks and their ace, Zac Gallen, in a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Chase Field.

The Diamondbacks fought back for a crucial win

Record 54-50. Pace: 84-78. Change on 2023: -1.

If the Diamondbacks do end up making the playoffs this year, we may end up looking back at this game as crucial in that process. Arizona fell three runs behind by the middle of the second inning, with erstwhile ace Zac Gallen threatening to lay the latest in a series of underwhelming starts. But somehow, the team buckled down. The offense chipped away. Gallen...

Diamondbacks still seeking further pitching help at the trade deadline

The Diamondbacks have already made moves to shore up their bullpen, acquiring A.J. Puk in a trade with the Miami Marlins. To do so, they sold high on a high-ceiling but risky prospect in Deyvison De Los Santos and another riser in Andrew Pintar.

A look at who could make up the Diamondbacks’ next HoF Class

A few years ago, my brother and I were having a conversation about who would be the next Diamondbacks’ player to get his number retired. My brother had argued, as he had the many times we had this conversation, that David Peralta should get his number retired. I always recoiled at the thought of retiring a zero-time All-Star’s number. His argument centered around how...

Series Preview #32: Pirates @ Diamondbacks

You don’t get to see an interesting Pirates vs Diamondbacks series often, although we won’t see Paul Skenes pitch in Arizona this time.

Just once were both teams “good” at the same time.

Ever since the Diamondbacks first set foot on MLB earth, the Pirates have had a winning record just 4 times. The Diamondbacks started playing in 1998 but didn’t encounter a Pirates team that would end the season with a winning record until 2013. The Pirates...

(SI.com) Report: Diamondbacks Acquire A.J. Puk in Trade With Marlins

Puk is a big addition to Arizona’s bullpen, which ranks 22nd in baseball with a 4.24 ERA and 27th in WHIP (1.37). He gives Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo a high-leverage left-handed arm that can set the table for closer Paul Sewald, who has converted 15 of 18 save opportunities this season.

Thursday Tidbits: Trade Deadline Strategy

Can the D-Backs thread the needle between buying and selling?

For the second straight season, the MLB trade market has been extremely slow to develop. It’s certainly partly due to the extra playoff spot that has allowed a larger swath of the league to hold onto hope of making it to the playoffs and then following in the D-Backs footsteps. This is also a period where pundits and baseball writers aplenty attempt to arbitrarily group...

Let’s look back and see if we can get any clues based on what happened last year.

Arizona are likely going to be in a very similar position at the trade deadline this year, as they were in 2023. On 31st July last season, their record was a little better, at 57-50, but they were in a real dogfight for a wild-card spot. The D-backs had exactly the same record as the Brewers and Marlins, all tied for the third NL position. The Giants and Phillies were also...

Bryce Jarvis Just Gets the Job Done

Photo by Mike Christy/Getty Images

Unsung Hero? Or just plain lucky? Bryce Jarvis is bucking traditional success in the bullpen and is on the path to one of the best bulk inning relief seasons in D-backs history.

Bryce Jarvis probably didn’t expect to be an MLB player in the bullpen. Sure, he’s made some appearances out of the bullpen in his early college years - but drafted in 2020 out of Duke in the 1st round, the D-backs expected him to rise quickly through minors and take a...
