Good morning. [🐍]

Inexplicably, the #Dbacks are currently within 2.0 games of the final WC spot… however that can stretch back to 2.5 with a Giants win tonight. Arizona plays a 3-game set versus San Francisco starting Monday. Buckle up.

Hello.

Earlier today the #Dbacks released RHP Jimmy Endersby. Between 8 appearances in AA (6) and AAA (2), Endersby had a 2.32 ERA over 42.2 IP and just 9 BB. He did, however, allow 48 H, but just 9 ER. Thus, a fairly high WHIP (1.34) and opposing team AVG (.281).

Hell of an outing for #Dbacks RHP Ryne Nelson, who will likely exit after the 6th inning here. He closes out the inning with a shoulder high fastball for strike 3 at 97 mph. 6 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K

A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Remember this half-inning for later on. Bases loaded and 0 outs, #Dbacks cannot tack on anymore runs.

Somehow, someway… the opportunity is there again for the #Dbacks tonight, they lead 2-0, and the Mets have lost again.

Ketel Marte is back in tonight's #Dbacks lineup (no Jordan Lawlar).

To confirm, last night was the #Dbacks 12th loss when scoring 7 or more runs in a game this season. Good pitching makes quite the difference, the club had 4 such losses during the 2023 regular season (i.e., World Series year).

Not in my best interest to question a manager, but I do wonder, Clemens had HR’d twice in this game already… why not start the inning with Saalfrank?

The #Dbacks have been gifted an early Christmas present by the Mets to get back into the WC race and cannot capitalize. Crushing.

Devastating. Brutal. Ridiculous. You name it. That loss cannot happen.

GABI FREAKING MORENO

Absolutely brutal sequence. Bases end up loaded on a McCarthy error. Blaze makes a heads up play to record a second out on a Sac Fly by nabbing the runner at 2nd too; Makes it 1-on, 2 outs now. Pfaadt proceeds to give up a 2-run HR, and a double to follow. Sheesh.

The Mets are down 8-3 in the 7th inning to Texas. Tonight could be a make or break game for the #Dbacks season.

#Dbacks INF Jordan Lawlar has 4 doubles over his last 14 AB. OF Jake McCarthy has 5 2B in 166 AB.

#Dbacks MiLB Notables, 09/11/25 @Aces RHP D. Ray | 6 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 8 K OF K. Robinson | 1 for 4, R, 2 RBI, BB, K @sodpoodles 3B M. Pena | 3 for 6, 2 R, 2 2B, RBI 1B B. McLaughlin | 2 for 5, 2 R, 2 2B, 2 RBI, BB, 2 K OF G. Conticello | 2 for 5, 2 R, HR (11), RBI

Quite the YoY defensive turnaround for #Dbacks INF Blaze Alexander-- Fielding Run Value 2024 (-5), 2025 (+4) Outs Above Average 2024 (-5), 2025 (+3) Runs Prevented 2024 (-4), 2025 (+2) Errors 2024 (6 over 312 innings), 2025 (5 over 465 innings)

Case in point. #Dbacks LHP Eduardo Rodriguez post All-Star break: 5-2. 3.63 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 57 IP, 53 H, 23 ER, 26 BB, 40 K (5.94 ERA pre break) RHP Zac Gallen post All-Star break: 4-4, 3.77 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 59.2 IP, 50 H, 25 ER, 16 BB, 47 K (5.40 ERA pre break)

There are three (3) MLB teams with 2+ players with 15+ HR, 70+ RBI, and 25+ SB. 1. Seattle: Arozarena, Rodriguez, Naylor 2. New York (NL): Soto, Lindor 3. #Dbacks: Carroll, Perdomo You could argue Seattle and Arizona technically have 2.5 players since they share Naylor's stats.
