Latest blog entries from Phoenix teams across every league
While the Dodgers have won seven of their first nine games to sit atop the National League West, the rest of the division is off to a tough start to 2026, with none of the other four teams having a winning record. The Arizona Diamondbacks are in second place after the first three series of […]
By the time this is published, three series will be in the books, and it’s been the best of times and the worst of times. Initial thoughts on the whip lash? James: The team’s lack of overall depth is staring them straight in the face. Paul Sewald is still a head-scratching signing by the front […]
Record 5-5. Pace: 81-81. Change on 2025: 0. The D-backs blew leads of 3-1, 4-3 and 5-4, but managed to prevail in the bottom of the tenth inning. Ketel Marte swatted the first pitch he saw over the head of the Atlanta right-fielder, driving in Manfred Man Jorge Barrosa from second for our first walk-off […]
Mike D’Antoni, who served as head coach of the Houston Rockets from 2016 until 2020, is headed to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. The news was first reported by John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98 in Phoenix, where D’Antoni coached the Suns from 2003 until 2008. “An important figure in the evolution of modern […]
Welp, going into extra innings to keep the game alive, the Arizona Diamondbacks capitalized on an opportunity to prevent the third consecutive series win for the Atlanta Braves (6-5) and end the series on a split.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! We are back with Sunday baseball on the West Coast, as the Braves take on the Diamondbacks for the series finale, hoping to secure the win. The roster has been released for both teams. Martín Pérez is taking the hill for his first career start with the Braves, with […]
This past Wednesday, Brady posted the latest SB Nation Reacts poll question of which of their non-Dodgers NL West Division rivals are the bigger threat this season, and now we have that result. What are the motivations for this poll response? It’s an important question. Do they see the Diamondbacks as a likely second place […]
Today’s roster moves: Here I had not remembered a traditional, non-split doubleheader on the road for the Cubs in recent years. The last such doubleheader at Wrigley Field was Thursday, Aug. 3, 2006 vs. the Diamondbacks. So, naturally, I asked BCB’s JohnW53 if he knew. Of course he did! Here’s the answer. The Cubs have […]
Team News Michael Soroka gives Diamondbacks another strong impression in win over Braves “I think we fell behind a little more than we would have liked, but (catcher Gabriel Moreno) and I made some good decisions with some pitches late in counts, good pitches with guys in scoring position, let the defense work and got the win,” […]
The Arizona Cardinals had one of the worst offensive lines last year. We all know this. How bad? Ranked #26. Both guard positions had issues, along with OT Kelvin Beachum. RELATED: CARDINALS FANS SEE OFFENSIVE LINE AS BIGGEST NEED GM Monti Ossenfort gave the offensive line his utmost priority during the offseason. Four offensive linemen […]
Okay, so this was a strange one. As was noted in 1AZFan1’s recap of last night’s shutout loss, our offense has been completely AWOL for several days now. This is something we’ve seen happen plenty over the last several years, but these multi-day offensive outages get exponentially more concerning when, as I and others have […]
The Braves try to make it (gasp!) four in a row, and three in a row against the Diamondbacks, as Bryce Elder and Michael Soroka square off in the desert.

Can’t say that you can really blame the Braves for not changing anything… did you know they have a better record than the Dodgers right now? This will their fifth time using this lineup in nine games. The Diamondbacks are making a few changes. Adrian Del Castillo missed the first few games of the season […]
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks Waste a Second E-Rod GemEduardo Rodriguez gave the Diamondbacks as good an opportunity to win on Friday as anyone could ask for, throwing seven scoreless innings. Unfortunately, Arizona’s offense was held even quieter. Offense, Sewald Spoil E-Rod GemArizona did not even register their first hit until the sixth inning and never had […]
The Arizona Cardinals, coming off last season, had major offensive problems. Part of this was because of all the injuries. Both starting running backs were lost for the year, so was starting QB Kyler Murray, LT Paris Johnson, and several receivers were in and out of the roster. The NFL draft will address most of […]
Game Summary Another Friday night, another tough loss. This week’s episode featured outstanding starting pitching from the hologram himself, Eduardo Rodriguez, as well as some incredible defense. Unfortunately, the offense didn’t come along for the ride and is now riding a streak of 3 runs scored in 27 innings since that 3-run go-ahead bomb off […]
In a game dominated by the two starting pitchers, it was Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson who stepped to the plate with the score 0-0 in the ninth inning and answered the bell to give the Braves their third consecutive win and improve their record on the young season to 6-2. The Braves have now […]
The Atlanta Braves have started the season with three straight series-opening wins after last night’s 17-2 thumping of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

This is unfortunate. The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 40. As if last night’s game wasn’t sucky enough already. Lawlar was hit on the wrist last night, by a pitch in the seventh inning from the Braves’ Osvaldo Bido. Initial X-rays proved negative at the time, but […]
After last night’s offensive explosion which saw the Braves score nearly as many runs (17) as they had in their first six games combined (24), a left-handed starter on the mound for Arizona is forcing Atlanta to switch things up in the lineup. With Eduardo Rodriguez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) taking the mound for the Diamondbacks, […]
Folks, I’m gonna say it. Seven games into the 2026 season, the vibes around the Atlanta Braves are getting dangerously high. Maybe it’s just PTSD from the marathon of pain that was the 2025 season, but Thursday night’s 17-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks was some serious catharsis — and whiplash from the strong pitching […]
