CINCINNATI  — They saw him reach for his back on the mound. They saw him stretching in the dugout. The Arizona Diamondbacks knew Johnny Cueto was hurting.

It's appears the Arizona Diamondbacks don't have right-hander Danny Haren on the trading block —...

By Chris Sabo's Goggles It was another exciting game for the high-flying Reds offense as they pounded out a whopping six (6) hits against the 16-games-below-.500 Arizona Diamondbacks. I don’t care if Dan Haren was pitching, the Reds still gave up six runs against the 16-games-below-.500 Arizona Diamondbacks.

By swamigp Jacoby Ellsbury's steal of home heightened the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry and dredged up haunting memories for Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte. Hall of Famer Rod Carew stole home seven times during his 1969 season with the Minnesota Twins.

Dan Haren’s numbers are astounding. While injuries and inconsistency have spoiled the Diamondbacks’ season, their ace trudges on, continuing to show he is one of the elite pitchers in major league baseball. Napoli's HR lifts Angels past D-Backs, 2-1 Too on One : Ryan Roberts

Chris Davis and David Murphy hit back-to-back homers in the 12th inning, Andruw Jones also homered and the Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-8 on Thursday night.

Webb left the team and returned to Phoenix, where he will visit team physician Dr. Michael Lee, according to General Manager Josh Byrnes. (Update, 9:09 p.m.: We were told after the game that Webb is not, in fact, scheduled to see Dr. Lee. Certainly he has to see Lee or another doctor in the coming d...

Lance Berkman hit his 300th homer moments after Miguel Tejada singled home a run with his 2,000th hit, and the Houston Astros defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Saturday night. Roy Oswalt (3-3) gave up one run and five hits in seven innings to improve to 8-1 lifetime against the Diamo...

By Adam Bernacchio 17. Arizona Diamondbacks – AJ Pollock, OF. MVP of the Cape Cod League. Good pick by the Diamondbacks. This pick was compensation for the Dodgers signing Orlando Hudson. 18. Florida Marlins – Chad James, LHP. Another young pitching stud for the Florida Marlins.

Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning Thursday and the Arizona Diamondbacks took advantage of the Florida Marlins' weary bullpen to rally for a 4-3 victory.                                                                                                                      ...

By Jabber Head The Arizona Diamondbacks, who lost yet another road game this afternoon, 4-3 in 10 innings to the San Diego Padres, now need to get used to the talk that manager Bob Melvin will be fired.   As long as we continue to see the  Diamondbacks in their current state, there is no other option.  It...

By David Martin The Diamondbacks scored their second run in the ninth as Chris Young was hit by a pitch from Ryan Speier, he then took second base on defensive indifference then moved to third on a ground ball by Conor Jackson and scored on another ground ball by Mark Reynolds.

By Steve Sax(noreply@blogger.com) Diamondbacks: Brandon Webb may be nails, and Dan Haren is still pretty solid like a packed Barbacoa burrito. But after that, the rotation falls off pretty fast. Jon Garland has a pretty bland arsenal and Max Scherzer might not have enough punch to become a breakthrough contributor. Spicy me...

Diamondbacks fourth outfielder: This battle really isn't a battle if Eric Byrnes is healthy, as the job will be his, leaving Alex Romero out of the mix (the team usually carries only four outfielders, choosing to go with another arm instead). ...

By Dave Burns At Houston Burnsy was live in Tucson once again, and once again we were joined by a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks: starting pitcher Dan Haren.  Haren will be on the mound tomorrow in Goodyear, but will not be on the mound in the WBC this spring.  It’s not from a lack of offers, in fact he [...]

By Russ Colorado Rockies: Arizona Diamondbacks: 2006 - Brett Anderson, LHP, Oklahoma HS - The other big prospect sent to Oakland in the Dan Haren trade, Anderson is poised to break into the majors in 2009. 2008 - Bryan Shaw, RHP, Long Beach State - So-so debut, but he did pitch better upon promotion...

By Dave Burns Happy Carlos Quentin Horrible Trade Anniversary! Yes, December 3rd marks one year since the D-Backs traded Quentin to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Chris Carter. That one didn’t work out too well. Luckily the Dan Haren deal did. In fact, what a difference one year makes for the D-Back...

We've probably been a little more patient than usual. Usually, we've entered offseasons with maybe a few more needs, maybe a few more chips to play in order to fill those needs. A lot of what we've done trying to create roster stability, that's the good news -- we've still got (Steven) Drew, (C...

By Jim McLennan Here's an interesting thought as a replacement. Curt Schilling? He has expressed a lot of interest in potentially coming back to Arizona for a Clemens-like partial season. He said during an interview on KTAR [MP3, about nine minutes in] on November 4 that, "Arizona is absolutely one of tho...

Position-by-position, hosts Joe Aiello and Brandon Rosage strolled through the American League’s best players no one hears about. And, yes, there are a fair amount of Tampa Bay Rays on the list. For a peek at Brandon’s official AL All-Underrated Team, visit The Pitch’s 2008 All-Underrat...

By Jim McLennan Anyone escape criticism? Jackson reached twice, on a hit and a walk, while there were two hits each for Drew, Montero and Ojeda. The last-named also got hit by a pitch, which gives him a share of the team lead, on eight. That's the same as Conor Jackson, who has about 270 more at-bats. Ojeda is act...

So obviously Hammock didn’t do much in limited action, but the other two have been quite effective, particularly relative to position. All together, Diamondbacks’ catchers are at .254/.347/.441 and their .788 OPS ranks fourth among National League teams.

By Jim McLennan Elsewhere, the Rockies and Dodgers got together for a 26-run game of pinball at Coors, with the Dodgers coming out on top to stay level with Arizona. And Jose Valverde out-Lyoned Lyon, allowing six earned runs in one-third of an inning of work for Houston, as they coughed up a late lead. His ER...

1. Max Scherzer, RHP 2. Jarrod Parker, RHP 5. Cesar Valdez, RHP 6. Bryan Augenstein, RHP 7. Reid Mahon, RHP I didn’t see anything wrong with manager Bob Melvin leaving Dan Haren in to start the ninth tonight, but I wouldn’t have had a problem if he had gone to Brandon Lyon right away, either.

By Jim McLennan You know things are pretty bad when the worst team in the National League blanks the Diamondbacks. The Nationals replied to our six-hit shutout from yesterday, with a three-hitter of their own on our offense - which has suddenly decided to entirely give up making any significant effort. I k...

By Jim McLennan On May 21st, Arizona faced the Marlins in Florida, and Ricky Nolasco allowed one run as his team beat the Diamondbacks 3-1 - the defeat dropped our lead over the Dodgers to three games. On June 27th, Arizona faced the Marlins in Florida, and Ricky Nolasco allowed one run as his team beat the Di...

Unlike last season, when the Diamondbacks prided themselves on their tenacity, it has felt in recent games like they have had the life sucked out of them whenever they’ve fallen behind. Bob Melvin acknowledged as much and said it was something he addressed with his team before Friday’s ga...

If you were watching the ESPN broadcast, you probably heard Peter Gammons tell an interesting story about the first time Diamondbacks GM Josh Byrnes saw Schlereth throw. Spoke with Diamondbacks scout Rodney Davis, who is responsible for scouting the state of Arizona for the club, and he...

Will Carroll from Baseball Prospectus came across an item in a Diamondbacks notebook from last week suggesting that Randy Johnson’s problems had been mostly location-based. This was before Johnson threw seven shutout innings against the Tigers on Sunday.)

By Jim McLennan His final line was six hits, no walks and four strikeouts over the nine innings, with three runs allowed, two earned: up until the final stretch, this was probably his best outing of the year so far. Even so, it still runs Webb's record to 8-0, a stunning achievement given that no-one else in t...

May was not a good month to replenish your lineup with healthy players — namely in New York, where Alex Rodriguez and Phil Hughes joined the long Yankees DL. John Smoltz shared the same news about his immediate future via SMS and one of the game’s young star starters — Johnny Cueto — was humble...

By Jim McLennan In the face of such mediocrity, the offense would have been hard pushed to catch up. They did have their moments, getting the tying run on base in the fourth, and to the plate in the sixth, but the absence of Young in the leadoff spot was sorely felt. Eric Byrnes hit there instead, and went 1-for-...

By Jim McLennan The game was totally sold out. I don't think I've seen so many scalpers at a Spring Training game before. That was probably no surprise; we bought our tickets a couple of months back, and even at that point, the best seats remaining were in the last section bleachers, out by the AZ bullpen.

By Dave Burns Audio: John Byrnes - Thursday By the time the contracts that Diamondbacks GM Josh Byrnes and President Derrick Hall agreed to expire, my oldest child will be in college. Eight years. A deal that runs through 2015. In the world of professional sports – that’s practically a lifetime contract. E...

By RJ Anderson     Diamondbacks deal Carlos Gonzales, Brett Anderson, Dana Eveland, Greg Smith, Chris Carter, and Aaron Cunningham to the Oakland Athletics for Dan Haren and Connor Robertson.     Diamondbacks deal Jose Valverde to the Houston Astros for Chris Burke, Chad Qualls, and Juan Gutierrez.

By Jim McLennan No question about the big news over the last week; the trading of Carlos Quentin to the Chicago White Sox for a young prospect, who won't even be able to drink legally for another couple of weeks. It's a sad end to the career of someone who was expected to be a cornerstone of the Diamondbacks' fu...

By Jim McLennan Overall, that's 488 in 1983 - one every 4.06 at-bats. The overall rate in the National League last season was one every 5.13, so the Diamondbacks do appear to support this theory. The study also noted that students whose names began with an A or B got better grades than those where the first lette...

Diamondbacks start second half of season against some tough teams. They take two of three from Padres and now move on to NL Centralleading Milwaukee.

The new Diamondbacks have pushed all the right buttons. They better not get careless when it comes to Eric Byrnes.
