POSTGAME: D-backs’ Rotation Streak SNAPPED After Another Brutal Zac Gallen Start in Loss to Rangers

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Wed, 13 May 2026 04:13:43 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ two biggest problems were on full display Tuesday night in a 7-4 loss to the Texas Rangers. The D-backs’ offense once again struggled to generate runs, while Zac Gallen continued to be the lone weak spot in a starting rotation that has otherwise been dominant over the past week. We break down another rough outing for Gallen, why we knew Arizona’s lineup would overmatched by Mackenzie Gore, and the difficult decision the organization may soon have to make regarding their former ace. Plus, we discuss Alek Thomas being traded to the Dodgers and why this outcome feels like a nightmare scenario for the Snakes.

Ryan Waldschmidt’s CALL UP Helps D-backs BOUNCE BACK With Gritty Series Win over Mets

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Tue, 12 May 2026 00:26:00 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ starting rotation answered the challenge from manager Torey Lovullo in a big way, with Merrill Kelly and Eduardo Rodriguez delivering dominant starts to help the D-backs secure their first home series win over the Mets since 2019. But the biggest spark may have come from top prospect Ryan Waldschmidt, who made an immediate impact with a three-RBI performance on Sunday to help Arizona clinch the season series over New York. We break down the rotation’s recent turnaround, how Waldy helped wake up the offense, and preview the 2023 World Series rematch with the Texas Rangers. Plus, we answer your Mailbag Monday questions!

D-backs After Dark: FAFO When You DFA Alek Thomas

Derek Montilla, Damon Fariall — Mon, 11 May 2026 03:00:00 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks made a surprise move on Friday, selecting their number one overall prospect Ryan Waldschmidt and designating Alek Thomas for assignment. Derek and Rok discuss their reactions to the move, why nostalgia makes it difficult to be logical about players, and how conflicted Waldschmidt’s impact on the D-backs series win over the Mets makes them.

POSTGAME: Reeling D-backs Offense Wastes ANOTHER GEM From Starting Pitching

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Sat, 09 May 2026 07:37:57 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks wasted another dominant outing from Ryne Nelson in Friday’s loss to the Mets, as Arizona’s offense continued to go cold during its third straight home defeat. We break down another quality start from Nelly, Ryan Waldschmidt making his MLB debut, and Kevin Ginkel’s extra-inning meltdown that sealed the loss. We also discuss the D-backs’ shocking roster moves, including the decision to DFA Alek Thomas, Louisville Slugger creating custom Mother’s Day bats for Arizona players, and Derek and Damon finally squashing their beef from earlier this week to rest.

POSTGAME: D-backs’ Offensive WOES Continue in BRUTAL Series Loss to Pirates at Home

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Fri, 08 May 2026 01:07:33 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ offense couldn’t string together much production against the Pirates, as the Snakes dropped both the series finale and the series to Pittsburgh. We have more on the D-backs’ continued offensive struggles, Zac Gallen being left in just a bit too long the third time through the order, and Arizona’s bullpen being virtually unhittable throughout the series. Plus, we take a moment to Spy on Our Exes and check in on how Jake McCarthy has been faring with the Rockies. Did the D-backs trade the wrong outfielder this offseason?

POSTGAME: D-backs Can’t Solve Paul Skenes, Drop One-Run Battle to Pirates to Even Series

Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall — Thu, 07 May 2026 06:37:54 GMT

The Arizona Diamondbacks knew they were in for a challenge with Paul Skenes on the mound Wednesday, but the Pirates’ ace was even more dominant than expected. Skenes held Arizona to just two hits over seven shutout innings as the D-backs dropped a tight one-run battle to Pittsburgh. We break down Michael Soroka’s impressive outing as he matched Skenes pitch-for-pitch and gave Arizona every chance to win despite the lack of offense. We also discuss the D-backs’ aggressive approach early in counts against Skenes, whether it was the right strategy, and why the lineup had no answers all night long. Plus, we dive into ESPN naming the biggest concern surrounding this team moving forward and officially welcome a brand new co-host to the show.
