PHNX Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

The Arizona Diamondbacks got a huge night from their young prospects to earn a series split with the Cardinals. Left-hander Mitch Bratt impressed in his MLB debut, LuJames Groover crushed the first home run of his big league career, and Tommy Troy continued to make an impact with two RBI and two runs scored as the D-backs' offense broke through in a big way. We break down the impressive performances from Arizona's newest contributors, what Bratt's debut could mean for the rotation moving forward, and how these prospects are helping keep the D-backs afloat through a brutal stretch of injuries. Plus, our friend and former overlord Jacob Franklin joins the show to discuss the breakout performances and check in on how several former Diamondbacks are faring with their new clubs. 0:00 - Diamondbacks WIN! 3:10 - Jacob Franklin joins the show 5:50 - The BabyBacks (Mitch Bratt, LuJames Groover) 8:50 - The offense 18:00 - LuJames Groover 26:10 - Mitch Bratt 34:00 - More pitching notes 42:30 - By The Numbers 47:00 - Carlos Santana 54:00 - Spying on our Exes 57:40 - Alek Thomas trolled by Reno Aces JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4 An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports MERCH https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/phnx-locker ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix PHNX Events: Get your tickets to PHNX events and takeovers here: https://gophnx.com/events/ ALLCITY — including us here at PHNX — is teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America for an exciting three-year partnership.

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ offensive struggles followed them to St. Louis, as they dropped their road opener to the Cardinals 3-2. Derek breaks down the quality start from Merrill Kelly that went to waste, the D-backs’ continued inability to capitalize with runners in scoring position, and why Pavin Smith’s prolonged slump is becoming a major problem in the middle of Arizona’s lineup. Plus, we discuss what has to change for the offense to avoid another frustrating road trip.

The injuries keep piling up for the Arizona Diamondbacks, as do the losses. Derek and Rok discuss the loss of four players to injury in one single day, Jose Cabrera giving them a stellar performance in his MLB debut, and why Torey getting rung up might be the only thing left that could fire this team up.

The Arizona Diamondbacks finally appear to have stabilized their bullpen, but just as one major issue gets solved, another has taken center stage. With the offense stuck in a frustrating slump, can the D-backs find the consistency they've been searching for? D-backs pregame show host Steve Zinsmeister joins the show to discuss what's been more surprising: the bullpen's turnaround or the offense's struggles. We also preview the Snakes' weekend series against the Minnesota Twins, take another trip down Memory Lane for Throwback Thursday, and check in on how recently optioned players are performing with Triple-A Reno. 0:00 Intro 3:30 Steve Zinsmeister joins the show! 4:45 Derek pronunciations 8:00 Offensive conversation 30:30 Twins at a glance 33:30 Probable pitchers 43:00 Join us for the World Cup! 44:00 Throwback Thursday 50:00 Snake Farm 54:30 Manager success rate Limited-time offer!

The Arizona Diamondbacks were flat-out dominated by the Los Angeles Angels, getting blanked 7-0 in one of their ugliest losses of the season. Merrill Kelly was terrible in his start, surrendering 11 hits and six earned runs, while the D-backs offense offered little resistance with just four hits in the shutout defeat. We break down what went wrong on both sides of the ball, who deserves the blame, and whether Arizona can quickly turn the page. Plus, there was at least one bright spot at Chase Field, as Korean two-way sensation Jun-Sang Eom officially signed with the organization and immediately won us over as fans during his first appearance in the Valley. We also discuss prospect Manuel Pena's promotion to Triple-A Reno, what it says about his rapid development, and why he could factor into the D-backs' future plans at first base.

The Arizona Diamondbacks finally got back on track in Cincinnati, taking two of three from the Reds for a much-needed series win. But the bigger story comes from Nick Piecoro of AZ Central, who reports that the D-backs are set to reinstate Lourdes Gurriel Jr. from the injured list and option Ryan Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno. We break down the roster move, explain why it could be the right decision for both the club and Waldschmidt’s development, and discuss what Gurriel’s return means for the lineup moving forward. Plus, we preview the upcoming series against the Los Angeles Angels and answer your Mailbag Monday questions.

The Arizona Diamondbacks desperately needed a spark, and Jordan Lawlar delivered one in his return to the lineup on Friday night in Cincinnati. Lawlar went 2-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases and several clutch hits, helping power the D-backs to a 5-2 victory over the Reds. We break down Lawlar's immediate impact, Eduardo Rodriguez's shortest start of the season, and how Arizona's young players stepped up when the team needed them most. Plus, the bullpen was outstanding, covering 6.1 scoreless innings to lock down the win. We also discuss a concerning update on AJ Puk's rehab assignment and why it feels like the injury bug simply refuses to leave the Diamondbacks alone.

The Arizona Diamondbacks continue to spiral, suffering yet another embarrassing loss to the Miami Marlins in an 8-0 shutout that felt over long before the final out. We break down another rough night for the D-backs, including one of the worst starts of Ryne Nelson’s career, defensive miscues from an inexperienced outfield, and a team that got thoroughly outplayed in every facet of the game. We also try to make sense of Arizona’s baffling offensive struggles and discuss why a lineup loaded with talent has been unable to find any consistency or momentum this season. Is this just a rough stretch, or is something bigger going on? Plus, Derek takes the show completely off the rails as he unveils his controversial plan to disrupt an upcoming pygmy hippo wedding.

The Arizona Diamondbacks dropped just their third home series of the season, losing two out of three against the Washington Nationals. But the biggest story coming out of the weekend is yet another report claiming an anonymous source within the organization is frustrated with Ketel Marte for missing last week's game against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. We break down why these recurring rumors do nothing to help Marte, the clubhouse, or his trade value, and discuss whether there's any real substance behind the latest noise surrounding Arizona's star second baseman. Plus, we preview the Diamondbacks' upcoming series against the Miami Marlins and dive into your Mailbag Monday questions, including whether adding outfielder Max Kepler could make sense for Arizona as the trade deadline approaches.

The Arizona Diamondbacks were completely overwhelmed by the Washington Nationals on Friday night, suffering a brutal 14-1 loss at Chase Field. What should have been a memorable night for LuJames Groover’s Major League debut quickly turned into a nightmare as the D-backs were blown out on their home field. We break down Merrill Kelly’s disastrous outing, which drew comparisons to another terrible start against Washington from last season, and discuss an Arizona offense that continues to search for answers at the plate. We also give flowers to Adrian Del Castillo, who was the D-backs’ best pitcher tonight Plus, we share our thoughts on the mystery Corbin Carroll 30/30 bobbleheads, what this loss means moving forward, and whether Arizona can bounce back after one of its most embarrassing performances of the season.

Could a major rotation shakeup be underway for the Arizona Diamondbacks? According to Nick Piecoro, the D-backs are reportedly optioning Brandon Pfaadt to Triple-A Reno while calling up relievers Kade Strowd and Philip Abner, signaling a significant change to their pitching plans. Alex D’Agostino joins the show to break down what the move means, how Corbin Burnes’ latest injury setback altered Arizona’s strategy, and what the future may hold for Zac Gallen in a D-backs uniform. We also dive into a new report from Ken Rosenthal indicating that Arizona plans to be aggressive buyers at the trade deadline, with a left-handed bat at DH or first base reportedly high on their wishlist. Is help finally on the way for one of the roster’s biggest weaknesses? Plus, we preview the D-backs' upcoming series against the Washington Nationals and take another trip down memory lane for Throwback Thursday.

The Arizona Diamondbacks dug themselves an early hole against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, as Michael Soroka surrendered four runs over the first two innings. But after another resilient comeback effort, the D-backs battled all the way back and nearly erased the deficit before ultimately falling 6-5. We break down Soroka’s rough start, the adjustments that helped him settle in, and whether there’s any cause for concern moving forward. We also discuss the pivotal runs allowed by Jonathan Loaisiga and why the bullpen’s season-long excellence may have spoiled us. Plus, we check in on Tyler Locklear’s production with Triple-A Reno and discuss the impact of pitching prospect Mitch Bratt landing on the 7-day injured list.

The Arizona Diamondbacks cooled off in Seattle, getting swept in their three-game series with the Mariners. Derek recaps the lack of offense in the series loss, Merrill Kelly being the mainstay once again, and why it felt like better managing could have changed the outcome in two out of three of these games.
