Arizona Football Daily with Mike Jurecki, Tim Ring & Steve Keim

Zac Gallen took a no-hitter into the 7th inning Wednesday night at Chase Field but the Dbacks offense didn't do it's part as the Rangers ultimately put five runs on the board winning Game Five and the 2023 World Series. The loss ends a remarkable season and postseason run for the Dbacks. Can this team get back in 2024 and where does this disappointment rank in other Valley championship defeats? Also today, the Cardinals and Browns are three days away and neither team knows who will start at quarterback Sunday. Plus, a final ode to the great Bobby Knight. 

The Dbacks are at the point of no return in the 2023 World Series. After getting wiped off the field in Game Four Tuesday night at Chase Field, the Dbacks are now faced with the task of becoming only the 8th team in MLB history to rally from being down 3-1 to win the World Series. Can it happen? It all starts Wednesday night when Zac Gallen takes the ball in Game Five. The Cardinals trade Josh Dobbs to the Vikings but does that really mean we'll see Kyler Murray anytime soon? Plus, the Sun let a sure victory get yanked from their hands - literally - in a stunning 115-114 loss to the Spurs last night at Footprint Center. 

The Cardinals quarterback situation continues to take shape as the team will now turn to either rookie Clayton Tune or Kyler Murray this Sunday in Cleveland. What could possibly happening behind the scenes and what does it mean for this week and the rest of the season? Also today, a look back at a disappointing night at Chase Field Monday night as the Dbacks fall to the Rangers in Game Three of the World Series and a look ahead to what is now a crucial Game Four. 

The waiting game continues for Kyler Murray's return to the Arizona Cardinals. After dropping their 5th straight game Sunday, Jonathan Gannon wasted little time in declaring that Joshua Dobbs will be the starting quarterback again for the team's week nine clash in Cleveland. Could the Cardinals and Murray could be strategically ducking two of the league's best defenses these past two weeks? Also today, a World Series Game Three preview as the Dbacks look to capture a pivotal showdown tonight at Chase Field. 

The Dbacks are set for the 2023 World Series. Game One Friday night in Texas. Keys to a series win and why losing Friday night is no reason for Dbacks fans to fret. Also today, Kyler Murray disappears from the team's official injury report on Thursday but there's a good chance he'll reappear on Friday. It's a NFL loophole and the Cardinals are taking full advantage of it. ASU had a great opportunity for a win Saturday at Mountain America Stadium and the Suns suffer a 4th quarter meltdown against the Lakers Thursday night in LA.

Kyler Murray is picking up the pace - at least according to the Cardinals official practice report. Murray was listed as a "full" participant in practice Wednesday but what exactly does that mean for a player who isn't officially on the roster yet and what does it mean for the Ravens game this Sunday? The Cardinals defense continues to be a work in progress. Two constants in the secondary this season didn't play last Sunday in Seattle and one has already been released. Also today, the Dbacks are a day closer to Game One of the World Series while the suddenly really banged up Suns head to LA to face LeBron and the Lakers. 

For the second time in franchise history, the Arizona Diamondbacks are heading to the World Series. The improbable, remarkable run of the 2023 Dbacks continues after the local nine to the impossible and win games 6 & 7 in Philadelphia to capture the NL crown. Also today, the Suns have an up and down night in San Francisco as they escape with a four point win over the Warriors - and the latest on the Arizona Cardinals. 

The "Never say Diamondbacks" rally again to even the NLCS and force a Game 7 Tuesday night in Philadelphia. Can the Dbacks do the impossible and win two in Philly to earn their second trip to the World Series in franchise history? Mike and Tim look back at a brilliant Game 6 and ahead to Game 7. Also today, the Cardinals are now waiting on Kyler. With their record falling to 1-6 and the Ravens up next, the season now shifts focus to an impending return of the team's starting quarterback. In the meantime, the Suns open the season tonight at Golden St. 

The Dbacks walk-off the Phillies in Game Three of the NLCS to cut the Phils series lead in half. Now an equally crucial Friday night Game Four awaits as the Dbacks attempt to even the series. Also today, Kyler Murray takes first-team reps at Cards practice as the quarterback's return to game action could now be just nine days away. Plus, with Murray's return imminent, could it impact the Cardinals desire to deal any offensive skill players before the October 31st NFL trade deadline?

The Phillies and their thumpers do the Dbacks dirty in Game Two of the NLCS. Philadelphia belts another first-inning home run and they never look back routing the Dbacks 10-0 to take a 2-nothing series lead. The bewildered Dbacks barely put up a fight and the game was plagued by mental errors to make the physical mismatch even more concerning. Also today, news breaks mid-show that Kyler Murray makes his return to the practice field Wednesday - now the question begs, when will he return to the starting line-up?
