The Arizona Diamondbacks suffered an embarrassing loss in the first game of their four-game set with the Atlanta Braves. The Mayor recaps Ryne Nelson’s rough start on the mound, Kevin Ginkel’s inability to stop the bleeding in the 5th, and why James McCann isn’t going to work out in the bullpen.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are riding high after making franchise history with their first-ever home sweep of the Detroit Tigers at Chase Field, but things won’t get any easier from here. A red-hot Atlanta Braves squad rolls into town for a crucial four-game series, and we’ve got you covered with a full preview of the matchup, including how each probable pitching duel could shape the outcome. We also dive into the D-backs’ early success with the ABS challenge system, why it’s been effective, and why Arizona should be leaning on it even more moving forward. Plus, Alex D’Agostino joins the show to break down how the D-backs responded after their rough series in L.A., and how Mike Hazen’s offseason moves are already paying dividends.

It truly lived up to the hype. A classic pitcher’s duel between Zac Gallen and Tarik Skubal in the series finale between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Detroit Tigers. In a game where every pitch mattered, Corbin Carroll’s clutch solo home run proved to be the difference maker, backing a near-flawless outing from Gallen and a lockdown performance from the bullpen. The result was a historic moment for Arizona, securing the franchise’s first-ever series sweep of the Tigers at Chase Field. We break down the dominant pitching on both sides, the D-backs’ defense taking a noticeable leap forward with Jose Fernandez at first base, and why clawing back to .500 feels so significant after a tough opening sweep in Los Angeles.

What a debut! Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Jose Fernandez announced his arrival in a massive way, launching two home runs in his first big league game to power the D-backs to a 7-5 win over the Detroit Tigers. We break down Fernandez’s historic night as he becomes just the seventh player in the modern era of baseball to go yard twice in his MLB debut, and yes… we might be overreacting just a little as we start planning where his statue should go outside Chase Field. Plus, we dive into Brandon Pfaadt’s rough third inning, what went wrong, and what it could mean for his role once Merrill Kelly returns from the injured list. We also give our thoughts on the latest batch of MLB City Connect jerseys and why the D-backs’ Serpientes jersey is still the king of alternate kits.

Michael Soroka delivered a debut for the ages in a Diamondbacks uniform, racking up 10 strikeouts and an immaculate inning to power Arizona to its first win of the 2026 season over the Tigers. But while Soroka was dominant, the bullpen nearly turned a historic night into a disaster late. We break down everything from Soroka’s electric performance to the tense finish by the pen, plus hear from Torey Lovullo, Soroka, and Corbin Carroll after the game. We also dive into the controversy surrounding the new ribbon boards at Chase Field and how they’re impacting sightlines for fans in the 300 level (and even Derek in the press box). And as always, we wrap things up on a Monday with your questions from the Mailbag!

Arizona Diamondbacks complete the sweep by the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers in a close game that was sealed in a last ditch effort by the team that has unlimited money. Eduardo Rodriguez's start set the tone but the bats disappointed. The D-Backs fell to the Dodgers 2-3 as they look on to their home series versus Detroit.

The Arizona Diamondbacks went toe-to-toe with the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of their season-opening series and, in many ways, outplayed them. But a handful of costly baserunning mistakes and a disastrous third inning stretch from Ryne Nelson proved to be the difference in another loss and a series defeat to start 2026. We break down why it feels like Arizona has to play near-perfect baseball to beat L.A., evaluate Nelson’s outing, and highlight Alek Thomas’ continued growth at the plate. Plus, we dive into some encouraging signs from the bullpen and recap the Reno Aces’ Opening Day loss to Tacoma.

The Arizona Diamondbacks showed early signs of life against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Opening Day…but it only lasted four innings. We break down Arizona’s 8-2 loss, including how Zac Gallen’s strong start unraveled, what went quiet offensively outside of Geraldo Perdomo, and where things went wrong down the stretch. We also dive into the mixed results from the bullpen, highlighting both the bright spots and the concerns, and look ahead to what the D-backs need to change to bounce back in Game 2 of the series.
