Happy Padre's Day! Wait, that doesn't sound right...
I think somebody dropped the ball on Thursday's off-day and let the offense wander off to the beach, and it was not back in time for the game... hopefully, somebody has found it today...
Cahill vs. Stults, as we open a three-game set against San Diego. Dodgers lost. :)
Patrick Corbin will try to ignore the media fuss about last night's little disagreement, and continue the winning streak for the Diamondbacks when he starts.
The D-backs will need to step up their game, on both sides, this evening, if they want to take down the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Clayton Kershaw goes for the home team, Wade Miley for the visitors.
It's Bark in the Park at Chase this afternoon. If you're going, watch where you tread, because you don't want to step in a poodle. :)
Cahill seeks to make it two in a row for Arizona over their NL West rivals from San Francisco. It's also Aaron Hill bobblehead night, unfortunately not with Aaron Hill in the line-up...
Patrick Corbin seeks to boldly go where no man has gone before. No, not to Joss Whedon's adaptation of a Shakespeare play. To 10-0. Hey, no-one reads these things anyway. :)
Please note, there will be a separate thread to discuss the MLB Draft, which is going on simultaneously to this game. Probably best, to avoid confusion, if most discussion concerning that event,...
Wade Miley tries to get his season back on track, after a series of disappointing starts. But the Cardinals send up their long reliever, so hard to predict how this one might end up going!
Another glimpse into the future for Diamondbacks fans, as Tyler Skaggs comes back up from Reno for his second stint with the team - and this one, in the place of Brandon McCarthy, might last a bit...
The Diamondbacks face perhaps the sternest test of the season so far: a four-game set on the road, against the team with the highest win percentage in baseball. Not going to be easy for Trevor...
Beat Edwin Jackson, win the series, head off to St. Louis. Sounds like a plan to me. Patrick Corbin will try to deliver, and improve from his current 8-0 record, at Wrigley Field this afternoon.
Not sure what time they will start, but it won't be on time. They just announced a delay. #Dbacks #Cubs — Steve Gilbert (@SteveGilbertMLB) June 1, 2013
A win today would give Arizona a 16-11 record for the month of May, one better than April. But regardless, the last time we had consecutive months with 15+ wins was when we clinched the NL West...
Here we go again... Hopefully, the end result will be just as satisfactory as it was in the afternoon. Should prove a tight game, with both pitchers owning sub-three ERAs thus far.
Barbecue warming. Check. Beers cooling. Check. Television on. Check. Time to settle in for the duration and get this Diamondbacks double-header started!
Patrick Corbin has been lights-out for the Diamondbacks this season, and has yet to taste defeat. Can he beat the Padres this afternoon at Chase Field?
Also this day in 1998, we released Ricky Pickett, one of the worst pitchers of all-time.
We also traded Orlando Hernandez to the New York Mets for Jorge Julio in 2006, and Alex Cintron retired (2011). One of these days, I'll get back to doing full "This Day in Diamondbacks History"...
Kinda weird to find ourselves scoreboard watching with little more than one quarter of the season gone. Only 116 more games to go!
Here's the amended line-up, which was slightly different from my stab last night: Gerardo Parra, CF Didi Gregorius, SS Paul Goldschmidt, 1B Jason Kubel, LF Cody Ross, RF Martin Prado, 3B M...
If the offense plays as well as they did last night, and McCarthy pitches as well as he did last outing, seems like a banker. But there's never any such thing in a single game of baseball...
Trevor Cahill has provided quiet, effective backup to Patrick Corbin in the rotation this year, and seeks to built upon that and give Arizona a third consecutive win against the NL-worst Marlins in...
The second of the three-game set at Chase, sees Patrick Corbin try to extend his sequence of excellent starting outings for the Diamondbacks.
