I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to have this opportunity. This is my hometown club and I hope those who listen hear the love I have for this city and this team. Thank you to Ken, Derrick and Scott for the opportunity. And above all thank you to Greg Schulte for showing me the way.
Not gonna lie, calling this live it looked like the ball was easily going to split the gap. During the break told my analyst that was the elite “potential” that Jazz offers in CF. Amazing read and effortless closing speed.
Let's talk about this Jazz Chisholm Jr. catch for a minute. It doesn't look like it but it was a really spectacular play (25% catch prob).
Why? Because what you don't see on the broadcast here is ...
The scorecard from

is headed to Cooperstown after the team batted around twice with an Opening Day record 14 runs in the third inning.
I wish the ending was a little different, but to work alongside Greg Schulte in a World Series is the kind of thing I’ll keep with me forever. Enjoy retirement Gub!
Really excited for today’s broadcast in the finale against the Nationals this afternoon. We’ve got a slightly different format for today’s show that I think will be a lot of fun! It all starts at noon with the BP Show hosted by

Are the vibes back?!?!
After that last home run by Christian Walker, these are his last 5 games (including tonight):
.684/.714/1.632 w/ 3 doubles, 5 HR, 11 RBI and an OPS of 2.346
Walker is 13-for-his-last-19 🤯
After a wonderful week off and time with my fiancée, I’m back in the booth to kick off the second half with Josh Collmenter and Leo Gilmartin. Special thank you to
@Mike_Ferrin
for the incredible work during that last homestand.
Listen to the series opener on 98.7 FM!
Since rejoining the
#Dbacks
roster on 7/13 OF Jake McCarthy has made 26 apps:
.293/.363/.378 (24-for-82) w/ 7 doubles.
Might not seem like a ton of power from a corner OF but he’s already stolen 8 bases in 9 attempts. Over a full season that would project between 45-50 SBs.
Getting older is harder. John Clayton and Chris Mortensen were the people I saw on TV when I was a kid falling in love with sports. Now they’re both gone. Those two walked so insiders like Adam Schefter could run. RIP Mort 😔
What an honor. Opening Night at Dodger Stadium. Couldn’t be more excited to bring you the action tonight. If you’ve got a chance, give

Did I just get bashed by the

I guess that confirms I'm team Steve/BB/Gonzo over Chris/Candi haha

tomorrow afternoon at Dodger Stadium. I’m excited to be along side

It’s just my opinion, but the best pitcher should start the ASG, not the best story. Kershaw is an all-timer pitching at his home park, but Sandy Alcantara deserved to be the starter for what he’s done this season.
Alltime great Dodger Clayton Kershaw is expected to start the All-Star Game tomorrow at Dodger Stadium. Shane McClanahan is the favorite to oppose him.

Looking back on it I did not because that was the last out of the inning, and we came back into the 9th with a pitching change. Probably anywhere else in the game and that play would’ve led to a longer discussion.
Tonight the Dbacks BP show is LIVE outside the Caesar’s Sportsbook right next to Chase Field at 6:00 PM…and we’re bringing company…
Come down and watch the show with Zac Gallen and I!
I’m no expert on these matters, but in Pearl it seemed like the community responded much more passionately to college baseball than affiliated ball. Could be a great venue for a mid season conference showcase.

just listened to you talk about your time down in the Southern League. Just wondering what's your take, and your best guess, on the future of Trustmark Park, home of the

LHP Joe Mantiply worked a scoreless inning tonight for the AA
@sodpoodles
as part of a rehab assignment:
1IP, 0R, 0H, 0BB, 1K.
Of Mantiply’s 14 pitches, 9 were strikes.
Torey Lovullo just announced that Madison Bumgarner will be skipped this time through the rotation. He’ll be working with Brent Strom to tweak some things and will return during the Phillies series.
This is nuts:
Over his last 3 starts (20.2 IP), Gallen has posted a 0.39 WHIP and has struck out 29 while only walking 1 batter. He’s gotta be the front runner for the next

Award.
Also hasn’t allowed a run since Xander Bogaerts’s HR on April 4th.
I just realized that this road trip is the Gary Varsho road trip. Why?
Because (unbelievably) if you looked at where Gary played in his career it’s in the same exact order as the Diamondbacks' last four road series (CHC, PIT, CIN, and PHI).
It all comes down to this - Game Three of the Southern League Championship Series between Pensacola and Tennessee. Eury Pérez on the mound as the Blue Wahoos look for their first outright championship in franchise history. First pitch 6:15 CT on

A career first.
I had the privilege of illustrating the poster of Hunter Greene that was given to every fan at today’s

This was a joy to create — stay tuned for the next two ✨
In 2019, Maggi had 3Ks in a game vs the Jackson Generals. When the team got back to the hotel, he thought I was the HP umpire from that game.
I told him I was the radio guy and had a good laugh about it. Couple days later he was off to AAA.

In 3 starts against the Giants this season, Merrill Kelly is 2-0 w/ a 1.69 ERA.
On the road this year, MK has posted a lower ERA (2.79) this season versus his ERA at Chase Field (3.06)…
…that includes a start against the Dodgers on 5/17 where he gave up 8 ER in 2IP.

Thank you for the kind words Brad. While I wish the three of us (dad too) could’ve celebrated this together, I know he would’ve been very proud.
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
Was looking at some starting pitching numbers for the
#Dbacks
in the 2nd half of the season, and a few things stand out:
1. Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly are top 10 among second-half starters in fWAR. No other team has 2 pitchers in the top 10.
A reminder that with the incoming storm headed towards Southern California, the
#Dbacks
will play a split doubleheader.
Game 1 is a 12:40 first pitch
Game 2 is a 5:40 first pitch
Both games can be heard on ESPN 620
