Cardinals Rough Draft: EDGE Zion Young

What is the status of the Arizona Cardinals’ pass-rushing squad? Is the coaching staff satisfied with the production and the results from last year? The answer to that question could be answered in a quick glance at the Cardinals’ transaction report since the season ended last year.   RELATED: GRADING THE CARDINALS DEFENSIVE FREE AGENTS […]

Ranking the new offerings at Chase Field

Every spring brings the smell of grass, the sunshine at Salt River Fields, the eternal hope that only Spring Training can provide. It also inevitably brings a litany of new food offerings at Chase Field. Some are basic ballpark fare. A beer cheese hotdog, for example. Some are much needed offerings to appeal to a […]

Arizona Diamondbacks 5, Cleveland Guardians 10

Next time, it counts. Because this time, it sure didn’t. Michael Soroka was slapped around, allowing as many hits as outs recorded – ten of each. The D-backs allowed the Guardians to run the tally of unanswered runs, between yesterday and today, to thirteen before finally getting on the board at Chase Field for the […]

Dodgers on Deck: Opening day, March 26 vs. Diamondbacks

After 32 exhibition games over the last five and a half weeks, things get real on Thursday for the Dodgers, who host the Arizona Diamondbacks on opening day at Dodger Stadium.

Will Perdomo Regress or Continue His Breakout?

Inspiration. In the AZ Snake Pit’s pre-season wagers, I risked embarrassment.  Three of my wagers depend on Geraldo Perdomo.   But what if Perdomo’s performance regresses from last season’s highs? That could tip the Diamondbacks below 81 wins.  And three of my five wagers would be losers. Let’s look at what will likely happen. Was […]

SnakeBytes 3/24: Last Exhibition Before It Counts

Diamondbacks News National League Wild Card landscape: What teams do the Diamondbacks have to compete with? by Alex Weiner [Arizona Sports] The National League has a clear favorite, three rebuilding clubs and a large swath of teams that range from young and promising to perennial contender, which should create a competitive atmosphere.

Arizona Diamondbacks 0, Cleveland Guardians 7

Sometimes you’re the bug, and sometimes you’re the windscreen. After a ten-run victory in the Cactus League finale yesterday, it was not a happy return to Chase Field for the D-backs. They were held to just two hits – both of them off the bat of Pavin Smith – as former Diamondback Slade Cecconi and […]

Snakepit Roundtable: The season is upon us

The season is upon us! Let’s do a public confidence poll. Ok a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you going into the season? James: I would say a 5 or 8. I am supremely confident (8) that Arizona will have a largely average season. That mediocrity will likely result in a very […]

Cardinals Rough Draft: OT Francis Mauigoa

The Arizona Cardinals had plenty of holes after last season ended with 14 losses. GM Monti Ossenfort was tasked with attempting to fill needs on both sides of the ball. During free agency, Ossenfort signed 20 players to date, with nine dedicated to the offense alone. That breaks down to one QB, two RBs, one […]

An emphatic 11-1 victory over the Padres was anchored by Gabriel Moreno, who hit two home-runs and doubled, giving him three long-balls for spring. Jorge Barrosa […]

Do spring training records matter?

No. … Wait, you want more? How about in bold? No. Ok, I guess I should probably show my working a little bit. So what I did was gather up the D-backs’ spring training results for each season since 2003 (which is where ESPN’s statistics begin), with the exception of 2020 – when both spring […]
