    Jordan Montgomery pitches well again, but bats go silent in Diamondbacks series loss

    Diamondbacks pitcher Jordan Montgomery gave Torey Lovullo seven strong innings in his second start of the season. But Arizona’s bats went cold once again one day removed from a big offensive output. We discuss Torey’s starting lineup today, the ridiculous numbers from this series loss, and more.

    Pavin Smith, Diamondbacks ANNIHILATE another opponent as injury situation worsens

    Behind six RBI from the recently recalled Pavin Smith and a stellar outing from Tommy Henry, the Diamondbacks took it to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday in yet another blowout win. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks injury report is growing longer, and the news on starting pitcher Merrill Kelly is not great. We discuss who is hurt, what the timelines are and what it means for the D-backs moving forward.

    Jordan Montgomery SHOVES in debut as Diamondbacks beat Blake Snell and Giants

    Jordan Montgomery SHOVES in debut as Diamondbacks beat Blake Snell and Giants

    The Diamondbacks had themselves a night on Friday in San Francisco. Starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery made his debut and absolutely shoved against Blake Snell and the Giants. But despite how good Gumby was on the mound, the Snake were ALIVE on offense and didn’t need it. Arizona tied a franchise record with 22 hits and put up 17 runs against their NL West Division rival. We have more on the lopsided win, Blaze Alexander’s big night, and the roster moves that were made prior to the game.

    Could Ketel Marte’s HOT START lead to MVP consideration in 2024?

    Could Ketel Marte’s HOT START lead to MVP consideration in 2024?

    Ketel Marte has been outstanding so far this season for the Diamondbacks. Could his red hot start lead to him becoming a dark horse candidate for NL MVP? We discuss his chances, which other members of the roster are off to a fast start, and which pieces of the bullpen concern us. We also release our MLB Power Rankings for this week, take a look ahead at the upcoming series with the Giants, and debate if it’s finally time to toss Angel Hernandez from the game.

Best D-Backs coverage out there

When it's Opening Day and the local sports station is broadcasting live from Chase Field and they're still spending more time talking about the Suns and Coyotes than the Diamondbacks, I say "Thank God for the PHNX Dbacks podcast." I started listening to them last year and it made an incredible season even more enjoyable. Derek's unbridled enthusiasm and Jesse's statistical analysis make a great combo. Can't wait to listen to these guys cover the team throughout 2024 and beyond, with hopefully many more trips to the yoffs!

best sports podcast

I am a massive Diamondbacks fan so I’m naturally biased towards any show with my team as the subject. Regardless, this is in my opinion the best sports podcast out there, and I’ve dipped into many. Derek, Jesse and the gang are some of the most likeable hosts and analysts you’ll get - completely lacking pretension while also bring copious enthusiasm and a knack for connecting with the audience. Their claim at PHNX is that they “make it more fun to be a fan of the Arizona Diamondbacks” and they absolutely go above and beyond in that department every single episode.

PHNX makes me a better informed, more passionate fan

I’ve been a Dbacks fan ever since the team’s inception when I was a kid growing up in Mesa. I’ve been to countless games at Chase Field, including game two of the 2001 World Series.

I no longer live in Arizona, but I still feel so connected to the team thanks to Derek, Jesse, and the crew over at PHNX for putting on this show. I know more about the team’s day to day operations than I ever did before. Who’s coming up, who’s being sent down, all that. Frankly, I can’t/won’t watch all the games in a season, but it’s easy enough to keep up with things when I can listen to these guys break it down while I’m out on a run.

I just wanted to say thank you for the work you do. I’m a better informed fan. I’m a more passionate fan. I’m a better fan, because of PHNX.

I realize this sounds like a paid endorsement. I assure you, it’s not. I just feel really strongly about it!
