Diamondbacks News Ildemaro Extends Streak, Gallen Implodes in Cubs Narrow WinIldemaro entered May in emphatic fashion, going 4-for-4 to raise his league leading batting average to .404. On the other side of things, Zac Gallen didn’t make it out of the third inning, allowing six earned runs. The bullpen slammed the door shut and the […]
Introduction There’s a baseball maxim that says, “You can’t win the division in April, but you can lose it.” I couldn’t find who the quote is originally attributed to, but there are plenty of former players and managers that could have said something like that. It also has the added benefit of being both internally […]
For much of this early season, two of Jed Hoyer’s key bullpen acquisitions had not done well. Phil Maton spent time on the injured list and didn’t throw well when he pitched. Jacob Webb had not had good outings most of the year to date. Friday, both of them pitched well when the Cubs needed […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks rough road trip continued with this 1-run loss on a cold, windy day in Wrigley, but at least the Snakes showed us some life by fighting back after falling down big early again. Zac Gallen was not sharp at all, continuing the trend of D-backs’ starters not being able to find […]
Go get ‘em, Colin.

The Cubs just completed a 17-9 April and have won 12 of their last 15. The Diamondbacks come to Wrigley having lost six of their last nine. The Cubs just finished taking two of three from the Padres, whose previous series was in Mexico City against… the Diamondbacks. That series was split. Arizona stopped off […]
The Cubs and the Diamondbacks are possibly rivals for a wild-card berth into the playoffs. On 27 April, FanGraphs projected them to win 86 and 82 games. This series could possibly decide which team reaches the playoffs. The Cubs were recently playing hot, with a 10 game winning streak through 24 April. It ended with […]
Diamondbacks News (Sporting News) Diamondbacks’ James McCann sets absurd position player pitching record McCann has set a mark by pitching more times before the end of April as a position player than anyone in MLB history, according to Baseball Reference’s Jessica Brand. The long-time major league catcher has already thrown in four games, including Thursday’s […]
If you had told me before the series that James McCann would throw out runners in two of the three games, that would have told you all you needed to know about how it would go for the Diamondbacks. Arizona’s starting pitching skid continued on Thursday, as the once red-hot Michael Soroka unraveled against Milwaukee’s […]
April results Ah, the joy of Opening Day, hope springing eternal and all that. Except, this poll came after the first series against Los Angeles was already in the books, and that acted as a stiff reality check. For the Diamondbacks were swept in the three-game series. There were positives: two of the games were […]
Box Score For the second time in three games, the Brewers outscored the Arizona Diamondbacks by double digits. Milwaukee got to Michael Soroka early and often, and despite Brandon Woodruff’s exit in the second inning, the bullpen — led by Shane Drohan — held Arizona to just one run over 7 2/3 innings. Milwaukee is […]

The Brewers came out hot in last night’s game but were unable to hold on for the series win against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Today’s rubber match pits veteran starter Brandon Woodruff against right-hander Michael Soroka. Woodruff, the longest-tenured member of the Brewers’ starting rotation, has been a steady presence through five starts. He carries a […]
I don’t think it’s a particularly hot take to say that I hate blackouts. They inherently limit the number of fans who can view their team and forces those fans to subscribe to a dizzying number of broadcast services just to watch the games. It’s one of the reasons why I listed their elimination as my […]

The Milwaukee Brewers picked up their second straight win on Tuesday and aim to make it three in a row — and their first series victory in over a week — on Wednesday evening at home versus the Diamondbacks. Yesterday, Chad Patrick battled wildness (and vision problems and vomiting, apparently) but allowed just two earned […]
Diamondbacks News Kelly, Hoffman Swatted by Brewers While Vargas Keeps Streak AliveWhile it is still too early to panic about Merrill Kelly, the veteran righty is looking more and more like the pitcher the Rangers acquired at the deadline last year and less and less like Merrill the Mainstay that the Diamondbacks hoped they were […]
Box Score The Brewers’ offense is still weathering the storm as they wait for some of their top batters to return from the injured list. On Tuesday night, they didn’t need their power hitters, as a barrage of singles and walks gave them a decisive 13-2 win over the Diamondbacks. Chad Patrick started the game […]

After breaking a four-game losing streak on Sunday, the Brewers are back tonight to continue their homestand. Next up are the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are in for a three-game series. For the Brewers, Chad Patrick is on the mound tonight. He’s coming off a rough appearance in Detroit, where he allowed four runs in four […]
Milwaukee Brewers Record: 14-13 (5th in NL Central)Run Differential: +19Pythagorean Record: 15-12 (-1) The Brewers entered the season having put together a good run atop the NL Central, finishing first four of the last five seasons and finishing second in 2022. Coming into this season, the division went through quite the overhaul, however, the Brewers […]
Inspiration. My preseason expectation was that the Diamondbacks rotation would be near-average rotation. In that context, my optimistic hope was that Eduardo Rodriguez would significantly contribute toward the Diamondbacks reaching the playoffs. My player review was specific about my optimistic hopes: “The biggest point to carry with you is that if he can again reach […]
