D-backs After Dark: Beat F’n L.A.

Derek Montilla, Michael “Roknowledge” Velasco — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks completed their first sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in L.A. since 2017 thanks to Tim Tawa channeling the spirit of Christian Walker. Derek and Rok react to the series sweep and discuss the impact finishing the first half with a 49-47 record should have on the front office being buyers at the deadline. They also preview the All-Star festivities and debate non-All-Stars being in the Home Run Derby.

POSTGAME: Eduardo Rodriguez DEALS & Tim Tawa HOMERS as D-backs Take Down Dodgers 9-3

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 07:10:14 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks took full advantage after Shohei Ohtani was scratched from his scheduled start, exploding for nine runs in an impressive series-opening win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. We break down another dominant outing from Eduardo Rodriguez, Tim Tawa's monster night at the plate with a home run and four RBI, and the offensive approach that overwhelmed the Dodgers. We also look ahead to the rest of this crucial series and discuss whether the D-backs can make one final push before the All-Star break to define their season. Plus, with the MLB Draft just around the corner, we examine who Arizona could select and why Major League Baseball still struggles to turn one of its biggest offseason events into must-watch television...

D-backs Recap: Pavin Smith DFA’d

Derek Montilla, Michael “Roknowledge” Velasco — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 23:30:00 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks have officially designated first baseman Pavin Smith for assignment after an underwhelming 2026 season at the plate. Derek and Rok break down why the move took so long, who could take over at first base, how this impacts the roster heading into the MLB trade deadline, and why the clock is ticking for Mike Hazen to make a move if the D-backs are serious about making a postseason push.

BREAKING: Pavin Smith DFA'd by D-backs After Splitting Series with Padres

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:32:31 GMT

After going live, breaking news dropped as Nick Piecoro of AZ Central reported that the Arizona Diamondbacks have designated first baseman Pavin Smith for assignment. We react to the move, discuss why the D-backs decided now was the time to part ways with Smith, and what it says about the organization's urgency to win now. Meanwhile, the Snakes got exactly what they needed from Merrill Kelly, as the veteran turned in a dominant seven-inning gem to lead Arizona to a win over the San Diego Padres and earn a split of the four-game series. We break down Kelly's stellar outing, Nolan Arenado continuing to mash at Petco Park with another home run, and Paul Sewald slamming the door with a shutdown save in the ninth inning. Plus, we look ahead to a massive weekend showdown with the Los Angeles Dodgers, including Friday's marquee pitching matchup between Eduardo Rodriguez and Shohei Ohtani, and discuss what the Diamondbacks need to do to keep the momentum rolling against their NL West rivals.

POSTGAME: Torey Lovullo EJECTED as D-backs Suffer EMBARRASSING Loss to Padres

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 06:24:26 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks are starting to look like the team every opponent gets right against. It’s hard not to think that after another frustrating loss to the San Diego Padres, and this one featured plenty of drama. We break down Torey Lovullo's first ejection of the season, Arizona's offense once again disappearing after an early scoring chance, and and what this latest loss means as the D-backs continue to let their playoff hopes slip away We also discuss Gabriel Moreno's continued hot streak at the plate, Taylor Clarke's roughest outing of the season, and the biggest takeaways from another disappointing night for the D-backs. Plus, a new fan survey is making the rounds online after ranking Diamondbacks fans as the "dumbest" in baseball. Is there any legitimacy to the claim, or is it just another meaningless internet list designed to stir the pot?

POSTGAME: Zac Gallen ROCKED Early as D-backs Offense Goes SILENT in Loss to Padres

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 05:48:51 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks are back below .500 after another frustrating loss to the San Diego Padres. We break down Zac Gallen's disastrous first inning and how he bounced back with five scoreless frames. Despite jumping out to an early lead, the D-backs offense once again went quiet, managing just one run the rest of the way, with Gabriel Moreno's 2-for-4 performance standing out as one of the few bright spots. We discuss what this latest loss means for Arizona's increasingly slim playoff hopes, whether Gallen is running out of time to prove he can still help Arizona win games, and what the D-backs must do to avoid letting the season slip away. Plus, Baseball America released its updated midseason farm system rankings, and the Diamondbacks made one of the biggest jumps in baseball. We explain what's behind the rise and why the organization's future may be brighter than its current playoff outlook.
