Swinging Lumber Swings away from Home Sweep
After two tense, well-fought games between these two teams, I fully expected a laugher tonight where one side or the other could fully relax and coast to a victory. It seemed like the natural baseball thing to do to balance out a pair of games decided by two runs or less with a game in […]

Snake Bytes 9/9: Just Like They Drew It Up – Until It Wasn’t
Diamondbacks News Corbin Burnes Makes 2026 Debut Against RoyalsThree pesky at-bats really put a damper on just how far the pitch-limited Burnes could go in the game, but he still turned in three shutout innings en route to the Diamondbacks going 10 games over .500. The Good and Not So Good from Burnes’ ReturnHopefully, by […]
Guess Whose Back!? Dbacks 5, Royals 3. F/11
On Tuesday the Dbacks were able to get to a season high 10 games over .500 as they beat the Kansas City Royals in 11 innings. The story of the game was Corbin Burnes’ return to the team, but the guys that stole the show at the end were of an unlikely variety as there […]

AZ Snake Pit Reacts Survey: The Final Countdown
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Diamondbacks fans and fans across the country. The D-backs have seventeen games left in the season. Perhaps more importantly, they have fourteen games left until the final series of 2026, against the Padres in […]
Why Don’t Diamondbacks Streak?
Inspiration. I very much enjoyed Jim McLennan’s The Arizona Diamondbacks Have Not Gone Streaking. I learned that the Diamondbacks have not won 7 consecutive games since 7 September 2017 (a very long time). And I tip my hat to JWinMesa for his comment to that article. A summary is that as measured by Total Streak […]
Snake Bytes, 9/8: Labor Yay!
Game Recaps D-backs throw 9 scoreless innings before offense erupts in the 10th by Robert Falkoff [MLB] On paper, it shaped up as a daunting task for the Diamondbacks. Arizona was going with a bullpen committee approach against the Royals on Monday, and facing reigning American League Pitcher of the Month Noah Cameron. Thanks to […]
Diamondbacks 5, Royals 4: Labor-ious victory
There have been some interesting games on Labor Day over the years. We begin in 2002, with the infamous 19-1 blowout against the Dodgers at Bank One Ballpark, which ended in Mark Grace working the ninth inning. At the other end of the pleasantness spectrum, and also against Los Angeles, we have J.D. Martinez blasting […]

Arizona Diamondbacks Series Preview #47 : Diamondbacks @ Royals
The Wild Card Race. The Royals are 9 games back from winning an AL Wild Card. Although the Royals were a hot team in August, in September they have 4 losses and 1 win. The Diamondbacks have realistic chances of winning a NL Wild Card. As of Monday morning, they were the third Wild Card, […]
Arizona Diamondbacks News, 9/7: Houston, we have no problem…
Recaps [AZ Central] Diamondbacks find a way, tip Astros as E. Rodriguez, Arenado shine – The Diamondbacks took the lead in an unconventional fashion in the third. Shortstop Geraldo Perdomo led off with a single but was struck down by a Ketel Marte line drive, which connected with Perdomo’s helmet. Perdomo stayed down for a […]
Wins Are Bigger In Texas
Dropping a series in the middle of a playoff push is never a fun time, but after the Dbacks did so while only putting up 1 run and seeing possibly the weakest stretch of offense we’ve gotten out of the snakes in 2026 had fans hoping that going on a roadtrip would be the juice […]
What is the path forward for the Diamondbacks?
The Diamondbacks have gone 5-5 in their last ten as of writing, but still find themselves in an effective tie for the final Wild Card with the Padres. Are wins or just checking games off the schedule more important right now? Justin 27: I think wins are most important, regardless of whether or not they […]
Despite injury, the Diamondbacks earn a series win against Houston
The Diamondbacks came into the game looking for a series win, and with a little bit of luck, putting some more space between their competition for the final NL Wild Card spot. Having Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound was a point in their favor, but the offense still RVSP’d maybe when invited to the game. […]

Diamondbacks 4, Houston 3 (10): Runs! Plural!
I came into this game feeling as steeped in negativity and creeping doomerism regarding our offense’s recent struggles as I would imagine the rest of you all have been. It is, after all, a rather remarkable thing we achieved over the previous five games—only scoring six runs across forty-five innings, and having failed to drive […]

Snake Bytes 9/5: Runs, Where Art Thou?
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks’ Slump Is Hurting Postseason ChancesThe Diamondbacks simply must find a way to get out of this scoring funk they have been in for a while now.

Diamondbacks 1, Astros 3: Consistency is Key?
Game Summary The Diamondbacks are nothing if not consistent. Unfortunately, D-Backs fans would perhaps prefer a different sort of consistency. The Snakes scored 1 run for the 4th game in a row have gone hitless with RISP for just as many games. This is their longest streak of RISP ineptitude this season, breaking a tie […]

Series Preview #45: Diamondbacks @ Astros
On the one hand, the series against the Phillies did not go as one would have wanted. They lost two out of three, the offense was last seen on a milk carton, and the one game they did win required a bullpen game shut out and late inning heroics from James McCann. That said, they […]
Not Sunny In Phoenix
Returning from the Bay with a disappointing series split but a 0.5 game lead over the Padres for the final Wild Card spot, the Diamondbacks would welcome the red hot Philadelphia Phillies into town for a quick 3 game homestand where they would look to add to their Wild Card lead over San Diego while […]
