Diamondbacks 1, Los Angeles 9: But There’s Actually a Bright Spot Tonight! Share this story Photo by Harry How/Getty Images I know our starting lineup has been decimated by injuries, and that our starting rotation has as well, while our bullpen has been decimated partly by the problems with our starters staying healthy, but more by the front office’s chronic and ongoing underinvestment in staffing it properly. Still, I was very excited to see Corbin Martin’s first MLB start (and third start at any level) since his Tommy John surgery back in 2019. He was the blue-chip get in the Zack Gre...

New Game Day Thread System Getting Blazer’s Edge Tryout on Sunday Share this story Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports The Portland Trail Blazers versus Denver Nuggets game on Sunday will showcase a new feature that SBNation, our parent company, is in the process of testing for its member sites. Our normal Game Day Thread will morph for a day into a Game Day Live Chat. The idea of the post is the same: to allow our community members to talk live during games. Instead of doing this in the comment section underneath the post, you’ll be doing it in a chat window

Diamondbacks 5, Padres 1: Kellys, Heroes! nother scoreless outing, and Carson Kelly topped it off with some gratuitous but satisfying fireworks.... Share this story Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Over the past couple of years, I feel like I’ve wound up recapping an awful lot of Merrill Kelly starts, and I’ve generally been pleased to watch him perform. I was a bit nervous this time out, however, because he’s been off to a slow start so far in 2021, entering today with an unsightly 7.71 ERA, four short outings under his belt, and very high pitch counts in each of them. Facing o...

Diamondbacks 0, Nationals 1: We Don’t Need Another Zero Share this story Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images Ah, offense. I remember it well. To start last night’s contest, the team combined to score 14 runs, while making the first seven outs. This evening? Not so much. Instead, Taylor Widener and Max Scherzer engaged in a classic pitcher’s duel, matching zeroes through the first six innings. It wasn’t quite an equal match. Mad Max was more dominant, holding the Diamondbacks to only one hit the first two times through the order. Kole Calhoun had a single with one out in the first inning...

Diamondbacks 5, A’s 7: Dog Day Afternoon Share this story I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised to catch Zac Gallen’s first start of the season, though given how quickly he was back after that weird stress fracture in his arm, I wasn’t sure what to expect. While he wasn’t particularly sharp—no perfectly clean innings and big pitch counts in each inning he pitched—he still looked pretty good. So that was nice. After going up 0-2 on A’s leadoff batter Mark Canha, Gallen threw the next four pitches for balls, which wasn’t a good sign, and one out later he surrendered a Jed Lowri...
