Is This What Success Feels Like?

On September 27, 2017 By

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think I’ve fully come to terms with the success the Diamondbacks have experienced this season. The team was projected to win 77 games entering the season, and after what we witnessed last year, you can understand why. There were very few changes to the squad in the offseason.

With Playoffs Looming, Ray and Kershaw Won’t Disappoint

On September 7, 2017 By

There’s never been a more exciting time to be a Diamondbacks fan in recent memory. The win streak stands at 13. The team never trailed for nearly 100 straight innings, and once they fell behind, they quickly tied the game, then beat the Dodgers for the 10th time this season.

On May 1, 2014 By

This winter, we evaluated the Diamondbacks and thought it would be a tough season. More specifically, we concluded that the team could be competitive but that they needed pretty much everything to break right for them in order to be a playoff contender. Then came some trades that were perhaps underwhelming from a value standpoint, if not from a …

To Make Playoffs, Arizona Must Play Better — But Only Needs One of Pittsburg, St. Louis, Cincinnati to Fail

On August 23, 2013 By

The Diamondbacks’ chances of making the playoffs took a big hit when the team went 1-3 against the Reds this week.  Cincinnati is currently in line for the second wild card spot in the National League, and had Arizona swept the series, they would have been just one game back.  Instead, Arizona gears up for its game against the Phillies …
