Diamondbacks Take 2 of 3 From Giants At AT&T
Posted on 25 Apr 2013 by Daniel Trucios.
This series seemed to have the San Francisco Giants mounting a comeback at least once per game. Despite all the rallying, the Giants were unable to take the series. After splitting the first two games of the series with Arizona, the Diamondbacks managed to grab a game three win in 10 innings 3-2. Wil Nieves hit in the winning run for the D'Backs on a sac fly to center which brought home Paul Go...

Who is Michael Rosario?
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Moses Molina.

He lived most of his life in the Dominican Republic, but resides in Miami, Florida. He is a 6'1, 210 pound third baseman. He just got done playing junior college ball (in a wood bat conference) where he had ...

Pittsburgh Pirates Split Series Against Diamondbacks and Cardinals
Posted on 23 Apr 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Not much has changed for Opening Week until this point for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as they find themselves three games under .500 at 6-9 and at the bottom half of the NL Central in fourth place. The two constants for the Pirates throughout the first two weekends of the year has been their stellar pitching performance and their lack of offense. Pittsburgh has the fourth best team ERA in the ma...

Mile High Altitude Freezes The Snakes
Posted on 15 Apr 2012 by Matthew Hesse.
The Diamondbacks started out hot to start 2012. They swept the Giants at home. Not only that but they beat aces of the Giants: Lincecum, Bumgarner, and Cain. Then they traveled to San Diego and beat out the Padres 2 of the 3 games. Finally they ended this week with a road trip to a cold and windy Denver for their 3 game series with the Colorado Rockies. The Diamondbacks started out the ...

Defense Wins Championships
Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Steve Folsom.
There's an old saying in sports: defense wins championships. In baseball, defense is part of the game, but in this reference it's pitching (along with a good defense) that wins championships. Either way, that doesn't bode well for the 2012 version of the Colorado Rockies (or any version of the Colorado Rockies since their inception in 1993). The Rockies defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6...

Revisiting the Cahill Trade and the Gio Market is About to Heat Up
Posted on 16 Dec 2011 by Josh Muller.
Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, the Oakland A’s traded all-star pitcher Trevor Cahill to the Diamondbacks for prospects. My initial reaction was that it was fair for both sides and I maintain that stance. I am confused about the timing, though. The talk of the town has been about Gio Gonzalez and Andrew Bailey (which I’ll get to later) and then Billy Beane does the unexpected and trade...

A’s Trade Cahill To The Diamondbacks
Posted on 9 Dec 2011 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland A’s have agreed to send pitchers Trevor Cahill and Craig Breslow to the Arizona Diamondbacks for three prospects in Jarrod Parker, Collin Cowgil and Ryan Cook. There has been a lot of trade talk surrounding certain all-star pitchers for the A’s, primarily lefty starter Gio Gonzalez and closer Andrew Bailey, as I wrote a couple of days ago. But in vintage Billy Beane style he qui...
