Game 3 of the World Series between the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals was set up to be a perfect storm for Arizona fans. Former Diamondback pitchers Zack Greinke (Houston) and Patrick Corbin (Washington) are both the No. 3 starters on their current teams and were expected to square off on the biggest stage in the sport. But around the fifth inning of Game 1, Corbin began to throw in the Nationals’ bullpen. Perhaps it was his day to throw to keep his arm fresh, but he was put...

Should the team exercise the option on Flores’s services for 2020?
As the 2019 season draws to a close, with the World Series under way, the team will have to start making some decisions. Should they look to re-sign some of their impending free agents? What arbitration eligible players deserve to be tendered contracts? But the first order of business is to decide what happens to the players for whom there are team options on their 2020 services. Whenever...

Down 2-0 to Gerrit Cole and the Astros, the Washington Nationals hung five earned runs on the ace to steal Game 1 in Houston.
Washington 5, Houston 4
The Astros jumped out to a two-run first-inning lead. With Gerrit Cole on the mound for Houston, things did not look bright for the Nationals. However, Max Scherzer stopped the bleeding there, pitching four scoreless innings. Meanwhile the Astros chipped away with solo tallies in the second and fourth before...

Baseball-reference.com has an interesting split in their split pages showing the breakdown of hitters performance against “Power...
The Diamondbacks surprisingly hung around the wild-card race until mid-September this season, despite shedding the faces of their franchise over the course of the six months previous. The postseason has been a who’s who of important D-backs of the last half decade, as Patrick Corbin has taken out the rest of the D-backs former talent core, starting with A.J. Pollock and the Dodgers and Paul Goldschmidt and the Cardinals. He’ll take his best shot at Zack Greinke and the Astros in game 3...

We saw how Arizona’s position players improved this year. Did the same apply to the pitching staff?
tl;dr to the above question. No. While the D-backs got strong improvements from a number of their position players, most notably Ketel Marte, the same cannot be said for the pitching staff. Perhaps this is why the team chose to part ways with Mike Butcher a couple of weeks ago? Even though Arizona was still slightly above the NL median in terms of...

How do some of the Diamondbacks Players compare to players who proceeded them?
Comparing players to those who have come before them is an age old baseball tradition and evaluation method to project how players might ultimately turn out at the Major League level. Traditional scouting has always likened an individual player to players that have proceeded them. A lot of times that was based on body type, or the mechanics of how they ran, threw, or swung the bat....

Another year, another Opening Day closer for the D-backs...
The closer’s spot has been a revolving door for the Diamondbacks of late. Over the last eight seasons, we’ve seen seven different men lead the team in saves: in order, they were J.J. Putz, Heath Bell, Addison Reed, Brad Ziegler (in 2015-16, the only repeat closer), Fernando Rodney, Brad Boxberger and Archie Bradley. And the last-named only just pipped Greg Holland, by the odd save in...

The Arizona Fall League is currently taking place at a number of locations around the Phoenix area. It’s a little different this year, with the season having started considerably earlier. Indeed, it was under way more than a week before even the regular MLB season ended. The first game this year was September 18, three weeks earlier than the Opening Day in 2018, which was October 9th. As a result, the AFL is...

The truth is, it never left.
ALCS News:Breaking down the ripple effects of the ALCS rain out.
This New York Post article lays out the different ways the Yankees and/or the Astros benefit or not from a postponed game 4. “On one hand, surely the Yankees should have spent another $200 million or whatever it would have cost to throw a retractable roof on their Stadium. On the other? Weather often becomes a fun part of postseason lore.”
