The Rockies come to Chase for three
At one point in the season, this looked like it might be a series between two Wild Card contenders. Now, the Rockies are in last place in the division, and Arizona is 4.5 games back in the Wild Card and losing time.
Game 1: Chi Chi Gonzales(0-4, 6.57 ERA, 1.78 WHIP) vs. Zac Gallen (2-3, 2.58 ERA, 1.25 WHIP)
Gonzalez is minor league filler for the Rockies, and not doing a great job about it either. ERA is always a bit...
The Arizona Diamondbacks have had their players receive the NL Player of the Week honor before, but for the first time in franchise history, a shortstop will take home the award. D-backs shortstop Nick Ahmed was named the National League Player of the Week on Monday. From Aug. 12 to 18, Ahmed hit .423 with four home runs, 11 RBIs, two doubles and a triple while putting up a 1.503 OPS. Known more for his defense when he first arrived in the big leagues in 2014, Ahmed has since turned into a...
Speaking of White Claws, anyone remember Tequiza?
For what it’s worth, I was unable to watch most of the D-backs vs Giants series this weekend. But I did read the re-caps and box scores and all I can say is, damn. After losing our best pitcher Zack Greinke in the Josh Rojas trade, Diamondbacks pitching has not been the same. Bright spots right now include all of the massive dongs the D-backs have launched, Ahmed’s slick glove, and of course us fans bearing witness to the all the new...
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced Monday their slate of games for the 2020 spring training Cactus League, a schedule that will include a game against Grand Canyon University. In keeping with the Diamondbacks’ recent trend of playing the local colleges during spring training, Arizona will face GCU on March 17 at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. That will be a night game. Arizona’s 23rd spring training slate will open on Saturday, Feb. 22, against the Colorado Rockies. The D-backs will...

The Diamondbacks stuck to the normal script, and won the game they shouldn’t have, after losing the ones they could have.
Madison Bumgarner has been looking more like his normal self lately and Merrill Kelly hasn’t been doing so hot. Of course this was the one game out of the series that the Dbacks pulled out. Even with the win, they still sit four and a half games back of the second Wild Card spot inhabited currently by Chicago Cubs. Possibly even more...

We’re... still there or thereabouts!
Record: 62-63. Pace: 80-82. Change on 2018: -7.
It looked like Arizona’s long-running streak of being within two games of .500, already dating back more than two months, was under serious threat. They had lost the first three games against San Francisco to drop to two below even, and were facing the Giants’ staff ace, with a starter for Arizona who had been getting blasted of late. But...

The Arizona Diamondbacks have recalled RHP Bo Takahashi from Double-A Jackson, the team announced in a press release on Sunday. Right-handed pitcher Stefan Crichton was optioned to Triple-A Reno following Saturday night’s 11-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

Arizona falls further out of the wild card race by dropping yet another game to the San Francisco Giants.

DBacks playoff chances fade under a barrage of Giants hits and runs
The Diamondbacks recalled Taylor Clarke to start this game, with the intent to give Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen an extra day’s rest and help set them up to better handle Robbie Ray’s absence while he’s on the IL. The problem with this plan is that Clarke has struggled most of the season with short outings and lots of homers and runs allowed. Tonight was no exception, as he only...

A much better turn out this week
Last week, I asked you to caption this photo of Robbie Ray and Dave Roberts going at it in last week’s “brawl” between the Diamondbacks and Dodgers at the conclusion of their game in LA. We had a good turn out for it, but there was a clear winner, so congrats to TylerO!

There’s no question that baseball is a game filled with surprises, even the players themselves can present surprises from year to year whether they’re rookies or established veterans. One player who has been a big surprise this season is D-backs All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte. Richard Justice of MLB.com named each team’s pleasant surprise of the year and noted that Marte has the fourth-high WAR (5.9) among all MLB position players. As of Saturday, only Mike Trout (8.1), Cody...
