Time to Add Montero

For those of you who are struggling at the catcher position with the likes of Geovany Soto, Matt Wieters, or Russell Martin, have no fear. Miguel Montero (right knee menisectomy) should be back within the next few weeks. Now is the time to add him, if he isn’t already stashed on your DL. He [...]

Haren goes for third straight vs. Texas

Dan Haren, who has won his last two starts, goes for his third straight victory tonight vs. the Texas Rangers at Chase Field.
Haren has been masterful all season for Arizona, and leads the National League with a sterling 2.23 ERA. Yet his record doesn’t reflect his dominance. Haren is only 6-4 on the [...]

D-Backs welcome Rangers to town

After another nightmarish road trip (starting to sound like a broken record, isn’t it?), the Arizona Diamondbacks return home to Chase Field to begin a 3-game Interleague series against the Texas Rangers, who lead the American League West.
The Diamondbacks’ frustrations have to be at an all-time high as their bullpen continues to struggle. On [...]

Tony Clark's drop in the 9th inning cost the Diamondbacks the game in a 3-2 loss to Seattle on Sunday.

Was Sunday Clark’s last stand?

Bases loaded. Two outs. Ninth inning. Tie game. Chad Qualls, the Diamondbacks’ closer, had just entered the game with one set of instructions. Get Franklin Gutierrez out. It doesn’t matter how–a strikeout, a ground ball, a fly ball to warning track–it didn’t matter.
Gutierrez hit a bouncing ball to third base, where [...]

D-Backs look to continue winning ways in Seattle

The Arizona Diamondbacks take their modest 2-game winning streak to the northwest to visit the Seattle Mariners for a 3-game weekend series at Safeco Field.
The D-Backs are coming off arguably their two best performances of the year, back-to-back 12- victories over the Kansas City Royals. Wednesday night, the Diamondbacks beat K.C. ace Zack Greinke, [...]

Diamondbacks' center fielder Chris Young comes up lame after rounding second on his way to third during Thursday's 12-5 win over the Royals in Kansas City.

Even the good days have bad elements for D-Backs

The Arizona Diamondbacks scored 24 runs in their last two victories over the Kansas City Royals. They won a series for the first time in nearly a month. So, why the long faces?
Brandon Webb, who hasn’t pitched since opening day, had a bullpen session scheduled for today scrapped. He has left the [...]

24 runs.
31 hits.
Most importantly, 2 wins.
The Diamondbacks lit up Kansas City starter Luke Hochevar for 9 hits and 7 runs in just 4 innings on their way to their second consecutive 12-5 win over the Royals.
Gerardo Parra homered and drove in 3 runs, while Eric Byrnes homered and knocked in 2 for Arizona.

Team meeting lights fire under D-Backs

Yesterday, after being shut out by Kansas City’s Gil Meche, and a date with Zack Greinke looming, I wrote about the prospects of the Arizona Diamondbacks being blanked in two straight games for the first time in 5 years.
Quite the opposite happened.
A.J. Hinch called a closed-door team meeting for his players in the bowels of [...]

Three parks, three days, three parts – part two

Day two of the three-day baseball trip, took us on the road to Milwaukee.  It was an afternoon game so we had to leave Chicago in the morning. We rented a car and drove 11 mph through rainy, Chicago rush hour traffic.  Thankfully, the weather and traffic cleared up and we got up to and [...]

The Diamondbacks haven't been shut out twice in a row in 5 seasons.  Tonight, they face Kansas City ace Zack Greinke, who has 2 shutouts this season.

Could it be back-to-back zeros?

Gil Meche of the Kansas City Royals baffled the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. Meche threw a career-high 132 pitches on his way to a 4-hit shutout, just the 3rd complete game shutout of his career.
Two of the Diamondbacks’ hits were infield singles. In other words, they never threatened. In fact, they [...]
