Paul Goldschmidt of the AZ Diamondbacks warrants all the local and national attention he has been given. With the outstanding numbers he has put up so far this season, he has kept this team around the .500 mark and recently took over the lead in All Star balloting for the starting position at first base...
In order for the AZ Diamondbacks to remain competitive, the starters will have to find a way to go deeper into games. Aside from hard luck Chase Anderson, the starting rotation has performed poorly and they are continually inconsistent. Short starts, game after game, have led to a worn-out bullpen. The...
Over the last few years the Arizona Diamondbacks have needed to rely on and have had good luck with their long relief pitchers. Their long relief pitchers have been able to eat up innings either through long relief assignments or with random spot start.
Sometimes a team’s long reliever is a former ...
We have hit the quarter mark of the 2015 MLB season and I would say that the Arizona Diamondbacks have made it a rather fun season so far for their fans. At this time last year the Diamondbacks were fourteen games under .500 and their season was all but over.
You could ask how a team that most likely...
When the AZ Diamondbacks signed Yasmany “El Trueno” Tomas to a six-year, $68.5 million contract on November 26, 2014, he was regarded as a big-time slugger and MLB ready at the plate. That analysis was based on his professional career in his home country of Cuba. From the age of 17 Tomas...
For baseball fans, nothing is more frustrating than a blown save! Your team spends the better part of a game getting a lead or rallies to capture the lead; then the ninth inning arrives and your closer comes out; fans are cheering for him to serve up three quick outs for the win; then it happens, a few...
Before the 2015 season began, expectations for the Arizona Diamondbacks’ season were low. Projected win totals were between 65 and 70. Those projections were based on a suspect starting pitching staff and an unpredictable bullpen.
It is still early, but the revamped staff looks far better in 2015...
The Diamondbacks won their weekend series against the Giants, taking three out of four in San Francisco. The team saw solid starting pitching from Archie Bradley, Josh Collmenter and Jeremy Hellickson and solid hitting from Paul Goldschmidt, A J Pollock, Chris Owings, Mark Trumbo and, even pitcher, Josh...
When the 2015 regular season opened for the Arizona Diamondbacks, the plan was for outfielder Ender Inciarte to divide playing time in left field with David Peralta. However, with a torrid hitting streak to start the season, Inciarte has proven to be a sparkplug for this team. He has gone 13 for 32 for...
As the Arizona Diamondbacks begin the 2015 MLB season, they are looking to bounce back after a terrible 2014 season that ended with the worst record in baseball, at 64-98.
They have a new Manager in Chip Hale. This is his first big league manager’s job; new Coaches, Mark Grace and Andy Green; a...
The Arizona Diamondbacks had many questions going into Spring Training 2015. One of the biggest revolved around the catchers’ position. Who would be their starting catcher for the 2015 regular season, who would be the back-up and would they keep three catchers.
After Miguel Montero was traded,...
When the regular season begins for the AZ Diamondbacks’ on April 6th, it would be nice to see right-hander, Chase Anderson, as part of the team’s starting rotation. As a starter last season, from May through late September, Anderson had a 9-7 record, with a 4.01 ERA in 21 starts.
When...
Every season, when Spring Training rolls around, both doubters and supporters of all 30 MLB teams re-emerge from their winter hibernation. It is no different for the Arizona Diamondbacks, but unfortunately for this team there are more doubters than supporters for the 2015 season.
Several early...
Spring Training has arrived for the Arizona Diamondbacks and, as we know, there will be a new Manager, new coaches, several new players and hold-over players that will play new positions.
One of those hold-over players in a new position will be Mark Trumbo. Trumbo, who just turned 29 a few weeks ago,...
When Spring Training begins for the AZ Diamondbacks one player the team is counting on to bounce back is Aaron Hill. Hill is coming off a disappointing 2014 season in which he hit just .244, with 10 home runs, 60 RBI and 92 strikeouts; significantly down from his average of .277, 18 homeruns and 77 RBI....
