The D-backs new centerfielder opens up about his family tragedy
Starling Marte sat patiently waiting for the Zoom call to begin. One could already sense from his expression that he was ready for this moment to address the media.
In simple straight forward terms he described what he and his family have gone through. Despite the language and translation barriers, he was able to convey the emotions of the event and aftermath.
His wife fractured her...

While the 2020 season will be extremely shortened, the new schedule does put an increased importance on winning divisional games. That often means needing to beat a...

James was up FAR too early for a Saturday morning, so I’m standing in for him today, as we hit the penultimate baseball-free weekend
Team news[AZ Central] Kole Calhoun, Starling Marte clear protocols, return to Diamondbacks’ camp - Calhoun posted back-to-back negative test results and cleared the protocols put in place by Major League Baseball, but after alternating between positive and negative results on multiple occasions over the past...
Luke Weaver stumbled out of the gate, but Arizona’s offense and bullpen were there to pick him up.
Arizona took advantage of the travel day to make another pair of transactions on Thursday, one that relieves one logjam while addressing what is still a potential problem area elsewhere. Kole Calhoun traveled with the Diamondbacks to Chicago, but then his ride from O’Hare headed north to Wrigley, while the Diamondbacks headed to Guaranteed Rate Field to face the White Sox. Calhoun, along...

Today, on a VERY SPECIAL episode of Place Your Bets...
Time once again to enter the SnakePit Casino - wearing a mask and practicing social distancing, of course - and bravely chance your arms on the outcome of this abbreviated 2020 season for the D-backs. Last season, 31 bettors ended up coming out on top overall, by a total of almost ten thousand SnakePit dollars, a rare victory in this series for the punters. Will this year’s spring go as well?...
Cecconi draws praise for a plus fastball at 94-97 mph and a plus slider. Virtually all pre-draft rankings pegged Cecconi as a top 50 talent.

Gonzo vs. Goldy, in the first Final Four match-up
PreviewThe 2012 Diamondbacks have won three straight games in this tournament. After defeating 1998 behind Wade Miley, 5-3, they put on their hitting shoes and upset Zack Greinke and the 2017 D-backs in a 12-8 slugfest. Not satisfied with that outburst, they did it again in the next game, defeating 2001 and Randy Johnson 9-7. The regular season 99 OPS+ registered by Kirk Gibson’s boys was the 2nd best in franchise history. Report Link...

Diamondbacks News:Dbacks get Junior Guerra back from Covid absence, lose another player to positive test
Guerra said he tested positive 10 days ago and was asymptomatic the entire time. He said that gave him comfort, but he admitted he initially was concerned about passing it on to family members.
“I kept doing what I do, practicing and throwing bullpens and running because I didn’t feel any symptoms,” Guerra...
The Diamondbacks announced that right-hander Junior Guerra is back in camp after previously testing positive for COVID-19.
Wednesday saw Arizona’s turn to give up 13 runs.
Arizona starters seem to have trouble staying healthy in Colorado. A day after Jon Duplantier was forced to make an early exit due to a tight hamstring, Zac Gallen joined him, leaving early due to stiffness/tightness in the back. Although, in Gallen’s case, exiting early due to minor discomfort might have been a blessing. Through 3 2?3 innings, the young up-and-coming star pitcher for the Diamondbacks gave up six runs, all of them...
MLB’s “plan” for aggressive and frequent testing has hit multiple snags.
Seth Beer if Fourth Diamondbacks to Test Positive
While Beer was unlikely to make the team’s 30-man roster, he was on the short list for depth. Beer joins starting right fielder, Kole Calhoun, reliever Junior Guerra, and injured reliever, Silvino Bracho on Arizona’s COVID-IL.
Giants Suspend Workouts at Oracle Park
Yesterday afternoon, the San Francisco Giants became the latest team to shut down workouts due to...
Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder Seth Beer became the latest player on the team to test positive for COVID-19.
If I were to mention to someone that Jon Duplantier only managed to go 3 2?3 innings in his start and that the Diamondbacks supported him by committing not one or two, but actually three errors, and that the bullpen also allowed an additional nine hits and four runs in their 5 1?3 innings of work, all of this in the lofty confines of Colorado, most would be inclined to figure the Arizona Diamondbacks were blown out by the Rockies. This was anything but a typical game. The Diamondbacks, a...
