A swarm of bees briefly stopped this afternoon’s game between the Rockies and the Diamondbacks. Play was halted for about four minutes when the bees chased Diamondbacks first base coach Eric Young, Sr. away from his position. The game has resumed and a bee keeper is apparently on the way.

Hudson allowed 10 base hits and 3 walks.  Brian Shaw took the loss allowing an unearned run in the bottom of 8th.  That’s the bad news.  The good news, however, is that the D-Backs bats finally seemd to wake up.  Justin Upton had his best game of the season going 2-4 with 2 runs and [...]

Craig Counsell Spent 15 years in the League on 5 different teams. Counsell was both the highest-rated 2nd baseman and the highest-rated 3rd baseman over the period from 2002 to 2008. He has the distinction of having been on base for the last two times that the World Series ended in a walk-off hit, and [...]

The Arizona Diamondbacks completed a sweep of the San Francisco Giants today, with much of the same magic that took them to a 2011 NL West Division Championship in 2011. The Diamondbacks came from behind to win 42 times last year. It’s not easy to duplicate that from year-to-year, but they were able to do just that [...]

The spring woes continue for the Diamondbacks. After rallying to a 8-5 win after a rough effort by Trevor Bauer on Saturday, the D-Backs fell in listless fashion to the Seattle Mariners and the “other” catching Montero–Jesus, formerly of the Yankees.  The top prospect catcher was dealt to the Yankees this offseason for young starter Michael Pineda [...]

Towards the end of last season there was no bigger story for the Diamondbacks than the success of first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.  Goldschmidt played in only 48 regular season games and 4 postseason games and put up some staggering numbers.  He hit .250 during the regular season with 9 doubles, 1 triple and 8 home [...]

The Arizona Diamondbacks have never fielded a National League MVP. Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb collected Cy Young Awards as members of the Diamondbacks. In fact, the Cy Young is the only individual award any Arizona player has obtained. That could change as early as this season with the emergence of Justin Upton. [...]

I really didn’t know where to put this, so feel free to move around to the best place.

I thought I would take up some space here with a little introduction Q&A of someone that I think will be a very valuable member to Sports Jabber and someone who’s blog is worth mentioning for sports fans.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will back on the field in full force by the end of February.  For now, they are passing time, some by letting us in on their lives on Twitter.  From time to time I like to check in on what D-backs personnel are doing by checking them out on Twitter.  Tonight outfielder [...]

Although the coveted pitcher/catcher official reporting day for the Arizona Diamondbacks isn’t until February 19th, several pitchers from the big league staff and 40-man roster are throwing their first bullpens of the new year this week.

2011 16-game winner Daniel Hudson, [...]
