Promise made, promise delivered.
As Diamondbacks infielder Ildemaro Vargas has been on an MLB-best hitting streak (18) this season, Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta associate producer Jarrett Carlen gave him a nickname playing off his initials, I.V.: “Drip.”
Team president & CEO Derrick Hall during his weekly call Thursday on Bickley & Marotta learned of the nickname and not only said it’s “finding some traction,” but that he could ask a favor of the Chase Field staff.
“I think what I want to do is have our folks, you know, on our DBTV, on the video board, we have notes every time a guy comes up. I think what I want to do for the next home stand, when Vargas comes up, I want to put up there that Jarrett and Bickley & Marotta named him ‘Drip’ because of his I.V. initials,” Hall said. “And if we put put that up there, I think that’s going to click a little bit too.”

The nickname didn’t jinx the Venezuelan-born player, who kept the longest hitting streak of his career alive (21 games dating back to last year) with a single in the fourth inning.
He is slashing .357/.375/.671 in 70 at-bats this season and has 11 extra-base hits, 16 RBIs and 14 runs scored. In just 18 games played, he’s one home run away from matching his career high for a single season (six).
His next chance to embrace the persona will come in Mexico City against NL West rival San Diego Padres for a two-game series on Saturday and Sunday.
