Manager Torey Lovullo encapsulated it perfectly: the Arizona Diamondbacks endured “a bad week at work,” marked by a string of blowout losses compounded by offensive inconsistency and significant blows to their starting rotation and bullpen.

The team's tendency to finish series strong continued.
Recaps[AZ Central] Diamondbacks blow out Padres to avoid series sweep - Finally, the Diamondbacks could feel some joy. Ketel Marte watched his home run fly, then skipped out of the batters’ box with a levity that has been rare in recent days and weeks. In the bullpen and in the dugout, players smiled and raised their arms skyward. This was the type of moment the Diamondbacks have spent...

Another wobbly week, as Arizona sinks further below .500.
Are the D-backs in trouble?Sam: You could say their backs are against the wall a bit. They have ample opportunity to get back into a groove and the wildcard picture, but each series loss gives them a bit more ground to make up.
Spencer: Yes. They look lost and frankly more like 2021 than I care to admit to myself.
Wesley: Despite of my laissez-faire attitude,...

The D-backs stand on the edge of unwanted history, potentially.

The Diamondbacks have activated right-handed pitcher Ryne Nelson off the 15-day injured list. Nelson will start the series finale against the San Diego Padres, which manager Torey Lovullo joked last night was his “worst-kept secret of the past five days”.

Much has been made this season about the struggles of Corbin Carroll. We have heard many explanations for why Carroll could be struggling, but Carroll gave us a peek under the hood last night in his post game interview courtesy of the Vice Mayor of PHNX Jesse Friedman:
Corbin Carroll got pretty specific here on what’s gone wrong at the plate:
“I made my swing too flat, and so it's been a lot of work to try and create better attack angles and a...

Over their last three games, the Arizona Diamondbacks have been outscored 28-1. Since April 24th, they have gone 2-7, which has dropped their season record to 14-20.
From Rookie of the Year to a challenging sophomore slump, Corbin Carroll’s 2024 season has gotten off to a nightmarish start at the plate. Through the first 32 games, Carroll has managed a .194 batting average, hit only one home run, and scored just 13 runs, despite batting leadoff.

Buzz is down on the Diamondbacks, but I beelieve we can pollinate a new honeyed tradition!
Welcome back!
We have to start off with a little housekeeping this week. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of extra work and responsibilities added to my plate over the past two weeks, and it has gotten to the point where I need to take a sabbatical from my duties here at the Pit. Don’t worry though! I went through an extensive search for a...
A Diamondbacks’ division rival has swung a massive trade, as ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the San Diego Padres are close to acquiring 2023 National League batting champion Luis Arraez from the Miami Marlins.
Arizona’s offense was kept in check by San Diego and Arizona’s pitching faltered late.
Diamondbacks NewsSan Diego 7, Arizona 1
Slade Cecconi was stellar, keeping the Padres hitless until the fifth inning when, with one out, the floodgates opened. Cecconi allowed a walk, followed by back-to-back homers. It didn’t matter much though, as the Arizona offense was stifled yet again.
Arizona Suffers Complete Loss
The loss will be hung on Slade Cecconi, but he deserved much better than he ended...
This friggin’ guy.
I can’t even.
It’s been a deeply stupid week, and when I swapped recaps with Spencer for this week (he really wanted to do Star Wars day....may the Fourth be with you), and saw that I had drawn another Cecconi start, I felt pretty good about that. Slade’s been a big damn hero for us in his first two starts. That said, I felt a bit uneasy, not only because he was going up against Dylan Cease, but also because, as lights out as he has been, I figured Cecconi was...
Fernando Tatis Jr. homered and drove in three runs Friday night, Dylan Cease pitched 6 2/3 innings and the visiting San Diego Padres opened a three-game weekend series with a 7-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
