Yep - the D'backs pride themselves on doing the basics well, so the bobble from Christian Walker (one of the best defensive first-basemen in the game) that prevented him setting up the double-play and ultimately led to 5 runs in that 3rd inning in game 4, and the complete whiff by centre-fielder...

I think the difference in this series was that Texas had a handful of players who were able to meet the moment and come up with the big hit, out or defensive play that ultimately won games. I doff my cap to Corey Seager (one of the great post-season players), Nathan Eovaldi and Adolis Garcia...

Congratulations to the Rangers - no complaints from me. I think it is good for the sport to have new Champions. Looking forward, I just hope we are able to add the 3 or 4 key additions that will enable us to remain competitive for the next handful of seasons. For a team like the Diamondbacks...

Very sorry to hear that news @Fignon's Ponytail - wishing your family the best.

Merrill! Merrill!

Can you PLEASE predict the Rangers to win the World Series? PLEASE? I might even pay you to say it. :lolol:

I honestly can't believe it. 2-0 down with Pfaadt going in game 3? Pfaadt, who had a major problem during the regular season giving up home runs? Who had been sent back down to the minors a couple of times this season? With a bull-pen game lined up for game 4? I was convinced things would get...

How's that working out for you?!!!! :lolol: :lolol: :lolol: I've been keeping my ears open but still not hearing it. Maybe cracked bells don't make any noise? The only noise I can hear is rattles from those pesky snakes. :lolol: Let's Go D'Backs! Let's Go D'Backs! Let's Go D'Backs!

Oh my goodness, WHAT a night at Chase Field. That is going to live long in the memory. Because Phoenix is still a young city, lots of residents have moved here from other locations. It isn't unusual that at sporting events here, the fans supporting the away team can often outnumber the home...

I'm certainly full of excitement for the game, and I'll enjoy the occasion to the max (D'Backs fans don't get to experience these scenarios very often!) but I'll attend in hope rather than expectation. We've got rookie Brandon Pfaadt on the mound and this will be unlike anything he has ever...

Let's Go D'Backs! Let's Go D'Backs! Incredible! D'backs jump on Dodgers' rookie starting pitcher Bobby Miller straight out the gates and get off to another early lead, this time scoring three in the first. Miller only lasts 1 2/3 innings. D'backs ace Zac Gallen pitches five strong innings...

Let's Go D'Backs! Let's Go D'Backs! Beat LA! Beat LA! WOW! D'backs SMASH Clayton Kershaw tonight, scoring six runs and chasing him from the game after he records only ONE out! They add three runs in the second and rout the Dodgers 11-2. Some D'backs hitters had THREE at-bats before the...

Let's Go D'Backs!!!! 2-game sweep, on the road, of the NL Central winners Milwaukee Brewers. Arizona exceeded expectations this season just by reaching the play-offs (although they somewhat limped into the post-season, losing each of their last four games when they only needed one win to secure...

The Padres can still make the play-offs! It ain't gonna happen but you're not (quite) out of it just yet!

There is a Wild Card round, yes - best of three, with all games hosted by the higher-seed club (I wasn't sure if you realised it was actually a series, ie best of three, as you said "play in game", implying one game). (y)

There are no longer one-game play-offs - instead there's a series of tiebreakers that determine which teams make the play-offs in the event of identical records:- How to determine playoff tiebreakers

This evening, D'backs centre-fielder Alek Thomas made one of the best catches you will ever see (just watch the reaction of his gobsmacked teammates!):- The last couple of months for the D'backs have been absolutely nuts. Having excelled in the first 3 months of the season, they then embarked...

Yep, if I had to put money on it right now I'd have to go with the Braves at this stage.

Must be incredible to be present for such an occasion. I was at Chase Field in April 2018 when the D'backs' Patrick Corbin had a no-hitter going into the eighth. Unfortunately, with two outs, Brandon Belt hit a check-swing dribbler to third and with AZ playing the shift they had no chance of...

As it happened, Tom McGill was at the Rogers Centre tonight (he's with the Canadian National Men's team playing in the CONCACAF Gold Cup). Also a piece of baseball history with the Yankees' Domingo German throwing the 24th perfect game in history.
