The Diamondbacks scored a combined 23 runs in their first two games against the Houston Astros, but were shut out today. The final score was 3-0. The blanking left starter Randy Johnson still sitting on 294 victories.
A couple of starts ago, the Pittsburgh Pirates shut out the D’Backs when their starter took a perfect game [...]
…one by Miguel Montero and the other by the Houston-born Chris Young, made it an easy outing for Yusmeiro Petit as the D’Backs again bit Houston in the Astro 11- 5. That’s 23 runs in 2 games, and no fun for the Astros and their fans on the day before they retired the great Craig [...]
won his 18th game of the year as the Diamondbacks shellacked the Astros 12-2 yesterday. Webby now has a chance to win 20 games by the end of August!
Houstonians Chris Snyder and Chris Young, and former Astro Chris Burke — you have a good chance of finding a place with the Diamondbacks if your name [...]
are cut to shoulder length. They no longer obscure his name on the back of his uniform. I think that’s reasonable. Now will the Dodgers organization, which allegedly has a hair policy, and Joe Torre, who is allegedly trying to enforcing it, kindly go back to the business of finding a way to lose the [...]
Who plays where when Justin Upton comes back in about a week?
Where the Diamondbacks are going to play Adam Dunn when J-Up returns has been a source of speculation since the trade was made. Some of the guess work involves moving Mark Reynolds to second, so that Chad Tracy can go back to third, [...]
Congratulations to Randy Johnson for victory No. 294, a 4-2 win over the Rockies in Colorado. It was another quality start: 6 innings with 2 runs and 7 strikeouts against only 1 walk. He also helped his own cause with an RBI single.
Thanks to Chad Qualls, Jon Rausch and Brandon Lyon for being Equal [...]
The Diamondbacks just lost a Gold Glove 2nd basemen who was batting .305. So
what do they do? They get an iron-gloved outfielder who’s batting .233.
It was rumored the Diamondbacks were interested in Adam Dunn before the trade deadline. When they didn’t get him, I exhaled, too soon apparently. This was the one thing [...]
That’s Brandon Webb’s record after yesterday’s 6 - 1 victory over the Braves. Webby kept the D’Backs from being swept by a team that has played badly on the road this year and, even after taking 3 of 4 from the Snakes, is playing .466 baseball overall.
Great work, Brandon! The D’Backs offense woke up [...]
For the second time in as many seasons, Arizona’s Gold Glove second baseman, Orlando Hudson, may end the season on the DL. O-Dog broke his wrist trying to field a wide throw to second from relief pitcher Juan Cruz yesterday. His outstretched glove hit the incoming Brian McCann who was sliding into second. McCann did [...]
Brandon Webb carried a shut out into the 9th last night, and although the Pittsburgh Pirates managed to get a run, that’s all they got and Webb finished the game. The complete game 3-1 victory was Webb’s 16th of the year. He’s the first in MLB to reach 16 wins. He figures to have about [...]
