Snake Bytes 3/23: Your Daily News Brief
Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports We will keep it brief Diamondbacks News: [NYT] NL Cy Young candidates: Zac Gallen and Logan Webb “It was one of those things where you’re like, ‘Wow, what a cool thing’ — but in the same sense, you’re not surprised,” first baseman Christian Walker said. “Look at the way he carries himself, look at the standard he sets for himself. He’s hard on himself, but in a good way, in a motivating, get-the-best-out-of-yourself kind of way.” [AZC] One week to opening day: Key observations from Diamondbacks camp Of course, given...

Towards a 2023 Diamondbacks Opening Day roster v3.0
Photo by John E. Moore III/ A week from today, spring training will have ended, and the meaningful games about to begin... Up until the past week, spring training had been very smooth sailing for the Diamondbacks. The back of the bullpen and the end of the bench were sorting themselves out slowly, and the competition for the fifth starter’s job was proceeding as planned. But over the past few days, the team has lost relievers Mark Melancon and Corbin Martin, plus yesterday catcher Carson Kelly, to significant injuries. So, let’s review how these situations now shake...

Spring Game: Diamondbacks 1 Host Angels 7
https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/239161836/Shocked-Donald-Glover-House-on-Fire Some Arizona pitchers did not allow runners to score. Record: 12-12-1 It’s just Spring Training. It’s just Spring Training. It’s just... yikes. Davies had a rough day. He gave up three runs in the first on what gameday describes as big hits (triple scored on a groundout, ground rule double upheld after review, and an Adell homer - that’s a rare sight these days). Meanwhile the offense fizzled other than a Rojas walk. Lewis singled in the second, so that’s something. Davies gave up...

Diamondbacks Spring Gameday Thread #24: Merrill vs. the World
Photo by Daniel Shirey/WBCI/MLB Photos via Safe to say, more attention on the WBC final tonight, I suspect Merrill Kelly gets the ball for Team USA tonight, as they take on Japan in the final of the 2023 World Baseball Classic. The Japanese team will be on an emotional high, after their ninth inning comeback against Mexico last night - but will they be able to ride that, or are they going to come crashing down? I imagine everyone will be available on both sides, so both managers will have a quick hook. It’s a tremendous honor for Kelly, and it’s amazing to consider...

And then there were two Diamondbacks News [MLB] ‘No panic, no rush’: D-backs’ No. 27 prospect thrives in first start Ahead of Bryce Jarvis’ first Cactus League start on Monday afternoon, manager Torey Lovullo said he wanted to see command and some swings and misses from the D-backs’ No. 27 prospect.
