What’s the matter with Corbin Carroll?

So far, he has been the biggest disappointment of 2024 on the D-backs.

Twenty-six games into the season last year, Corbin Carroll was hitting .311/.374/.556, good for a .929 OPS, which got him started on the road to unanimous selection as the National League Rookie of the Year. He was the team’s MVP as they made their way to the World Series, and his performance made Mike Hazen look like a genius for signing Carroll to a long-term contract...

Fang Food: Son of Churro Dog

After many years of stagnation, we have more innovation in the Churro Dog sector

When the Diamondbacks announced their new menu items for the 2024 season, they also announced that the Churro Dog was finally getting the respect it thinks it deserves by getting a full location, rather than the cart that it had been sold out of since its inception. Now long time friends of the program will remember that I have a long history with the Churro Dog, reviewing the original which was unveiled...

He stuck longer than you might have wanted, but didn’t prevent the team from making better moves.

The Paul Sewald trade.

Hadn’t the Diamondbacks included Josh Rojas in the Paul Sewald trade, then there would have been a good chance that the Diamondbacks would have never traded for Jace Peterson.

After above average contributions in 2021 and 2022, Josh Rojas suffered a severe slump at the beginning of the 2023 season. At the time he was included...

‘Some positives, but we lost’: Monty strong in finale

“We faced him [Montgomery-Justin] in the World Series last year,” D-backs outfielder Jake McCarthy said. “The guy’s really good, and it’s nice to be on his team and, you know, defending behind him instead of at the plate. He’s a really good pitcher and we’re going to keep this thing...

D-Backs 1, Cardinals 5:

I was irrationally annoyed by this one | Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

In an alternate, happier reality, this recap would be about the D-Backs sweeping - or at the very least winning the series - against a middling Cardinals team. Alas, that reality - where I’m sure dogs live forever and the Yankees consistently go 0-162 every season - is not the one in which we reside. Instead, we live in the reality where our favorite baseball team seems to be stuck in proverbial neutral through...

Revenge is Sweet: Dbacks 14, Cardinals 1

Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

24 hours after the Dbacks suffered a crushing loss in the bottom of the 9th, the Dbacks came back with an absolute vengeance to obliterate the Cardinals 14-1 to even the series at 1-1. In what seems to be another trend for this team, when they win they win big! A lot happened in this game and I will do my best to cover it all, but if there is another moment I missed please add it in the comments.

The Cardinals got on the board first in the first inning with a...

Zac Gallen’s Stuff: A Follow-up

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports

Gallen’s Stuff is still measured as well less than previous years, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I first looked at Zac Gallen’s Stuff metrics after his first two games of the season and noticed that they were way off the numbers he posted in past years. I did expect his numbers to rebound closer to his career averages as the season progressed (and according to the poll in that first article 50% of you thought so, too), but there is fairly...
