"Roundup"
A week after the .500 end to the Arizona season, the MLB Division Series are in full swing. Consequently, there isn’t too much to report on what’s been written on the D-backs in the last week.
We will still be publishing regularly in the offseason, although we may draw back a bit from 5 posts a week. Check out the …
Continue Reading →There were two themes to this season, and both were on display through the D-backs’ last week of games. A 2-5 week brought the truly average D-backs to a truly average .500 record (and to a 16th place finish in the ESPN Power Rankings), and a couple of extra-inning games were thrown in for good measure.
The extra innings …
Continue Reading →Since the last roundup, the D-backs have gone 4-3, with a split against the Dodgers and a series win against the Rockies. Arizona dropped in the ESPN Power Rankings, but only one spot. Pretty good week, right?
Wrong. Winning 2 games against the Dodgers was just good enough to push their NL West title to Thursday, when LA fought …
Continue Reading →The last week started with difficulty for Arizona, as they dropped two ugly games to Los Angeles before winning three of their next four. The offense over the weekend was particularly inspiring; as I noted in the ESPN Power Rankings this week, Goldy finally killed that 22-game HR drought (the third-longest of his career) on Sunday. In consecutive wins against …
Continue Reading →It’s been a crushing seven days for the D-backs. After dropping the first two of the home games against Toronto to finish off interleague play, Arizona split a four-game set in San Francisco — nearly getting victimized by a perfect game along the way. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that the team’s pitching has fared very well; Wade Miley …
Continue Reading →The last week literally had a lot of ups and downs, with the team winning two of three against the Padres and one of three against the Giants. In the middle game against the Padres, we saw Ian Kennedy face the D-backs in his new uniform for the first time. David Holmberg got the call to face him for his …
Continue Reading →It’s been a difficult week for Diamondbacks fans, who watched their team drop 3 of 4 to their competition for the wild card in Cincinnati and 2 of 3 to the wayward Phillies. Count me among those feeling thoroughly exhausted at this point, after the 18-inning (7 hours 6 minutes) affair on Saturday night. The win there was great (check …
Continue Reading →The Diamondbacks went 5-1 in their last six games, abusing the Orioles before gutting out a series win in Pittsburg. The Orioles series could not have had more drama, with walkoff hits in all three games by three different players. In comparison to “the walkoff series,” the wins against the Pirates were almost garden variety; and yet the Diamondbacks posted …
Continue Reading →For a five-game week (off days on Monday and Thursday), the last several days have been unusually tumultuous for the Diamondbacks. In a two game series against Tampa Bay, the offense broke out; but although Kirk Gibson’s squad carried the same lineup and offensive success through Friday, Saturday and Sunday were not banner days for the team. On Saturday, David …
Continue Reading →Last week’s big news was the trade deadline, with Arizona linked to many relief pitchers before the team finally traded Ian Kennedy for bullpen help this season (lefty specialist Joe Thatcher) and down the road (Matt Stites). Arizona’s side of the trade also received a bump with the acquisition of San Diego’s competitive balance pick in round B (after the …
