11/10/23	All-Sar Mark Melancon finds silver lining in Diamondbacks' World Series loss: 'The experience is there now'. Mark Melancon and the Arizona Diamondbacks certainly wish things had gone differently in the World Series this season, even if experts and fans believe simply making it to the Fall Classic was a momentous achievement. Melancon does feel there is some merit to that thinking. Melancon, a 14-year veteran who was not able to pitch this season due to a shoulder injury he has been rehabbing, wanted his first career World Series ring at 38 years old. "Obviously, it's never ideal to be injured and not be on the field," he told Fox News Digital over the phone while highlighting his work in a Fanatics' immersive business program this week.

5/01/23	Arizona Diamondbacks: May confidence poll. The last poll was held, technically, in late March as I wanted to get a benchmark before the start of the regular season, and see whether spring training had had any impact on fan confidence. The team posted a record of 16-14 in Cactus League play, which seemed to be generally in line for what most people were expecting from the regular season. 58% were in the 80-85 win bucket] The team didn't suffer any particularly concerning injuries; indeed, the loss of Mark Melancon may have been the very definition of addition by subtraction. “1” and “9” combined for 12.5% of votes in April, compared to only 5% in March, so those changes basically canceled each other out.

3/22/23	Towards a 2023 Diamondbacks Opening Day roster v3.0. 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 up the likely Opening Day roster, as we head into the final stretch of the pre-season. Below is my best guess, with changes since we last looked . a little over a month ago.

8/07/22	D-backs score go-ahead run on balk, beat Rockies 6-4. PHOENIX (AP) — It's been a slog of a year for Mark Melancon, a four-time All-Star who already has lost 10 games this season, which cost him his job as the primary closer for the Arizona Diamondbacks' bullpen. Thanks to some tired arms, Melancon got another chance on Sunday. He didn't let it go to waste. Daulton Varsho trotted home with the go-ahead run in the eighth thanks to a balk, Melancon earned his 15th save with a scoreless ninth and the Diamondbacks won the series from the Colorado Rockies by rallying for a 6-4 victory. “He's a true professional,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said of Melancon. “The bottom line is he wants to win, doesn't care about anything else, and he'll do whatever it takes to help this team win a baseball game.” Melancon helped the D-backs on Sunday in a familiar role. The 37-year-old was signed to a $14 million, two-year deal during the offseason because he's been so good and consistent during his 14-year career. Melancon said his recent struggles have been frustrating, but it's given him an opportunity to dig deep into analytics and figure out a way to bust of his slump. It might be too early to say all that studying has worked, but Sunday was a step in the right direction. “Doing this my entire life, you can still get better," Melancon said. The D-backs trailed 4-2 in the sixth but Emmanuel Rivera — added in a deal with the Kansas City Royals at the trade deadline — hit a solo shot that cut the deficit to 4-3. It was his seventh homer of the year and first with his new team. Josh Rojas had an RBI double in the seventh that tied the game at 4-all. Arizona loaded the bases in the eighth off Rockies reliever Alex Colomé (2-6), who then balked, failing to come to a set position before delivering his pitch. That allowed Varsho to trot home...

8/06/22	Mark Melancon is the 5th straight dud at closer for the Diamondbacks. The closer role has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride for the Arizona Diamondbacks under the Mike Hazen regime. Every year the D-backs have turned to a different pitcher for the 9th inning, with Fernando Rodney being the only successful closer back in 2017. For the next five seasons, the position has been anything but stable with none of the team’s first choice at the closer role holding the job all the way through the season.
