Snake Bytes 6/15: Good Enough
Diamondbacks News Moreno’s Homer, Gallen’s Quality Start Lead Snakes to Series WinThings started off shakily enough for Zac Gallen, but he managed to dig down and give the Diamondbacks a puncher’s chance by tossing a quality start. Field and weather conditions were largely ignored, leading to some “interesting” plays and risking player injury. But Arizona […]
Should MLB allow players monitored use of medical steroids to improve rehab?
This team, amiright? One of the streakiest teams I can remember for a while. Can a team this streaky maintain its long term status and get into the playoffs, or will the streaking eventually catch up? C. Wesley Baier: It is very easy to forget how long a 162 game season is and even easier […]

Snake Bytes 6/14
Team News D-backs squander another one of Soroka’s walk-free quality starts “When you feel like the hitter might not know what’s coming, I feel a little bit more comfortable throwing balls completely over the plate,” Soroka said. “Last year, I think I ran into struggles, because I didn’t have those extra pitches. And second, third […]

Diamondbacks 1, Cincinnati 2: LOBsterFest 2026!
Well, this was yet another game that the Diamondbacks should have won. Michael Soroka really seems to be back to the form that earned him second place in the 2019 Rookie of the Year vote. He pitched seven innings, only allowing two hits and one hit batsman while striking out 7. The Diamaondbacks, meanwhile, racked […]

Snake Bytes 6/13: Oh What a Night!
Of course the game where Jordan Lawlar makes his return to the field and then puts together a player-of-the-game performance would be pre-empted by Apple TV, leaving the majority of fans with no way to watch it. At least there was something else worth watching elsewhere last night as the USMNT kicked off their World […]
Diamondbacks 5, Reds 2: Return of Law and Order
Game Summary Jordan Lawlar made his return from injury and left his mark all over this game as the Diamondbacks had yet another comeback win. The team had plenty of heavy lifting to do in this one after Eduardo Rodriguez couldn’t find the zone early and ended up not getting out of the third inning, […]

Arizona Diamondbacks Series Preview #23 : Diamondbacks @ Reds
The Reds were competing with the Diamondbacks for a NL wild-card. Then, the Reds lost 8 of 10 games, falling below 500. During those games, their 3.2 runs-per-game was less than their season average (4.30 runs-per-game). Also, they had problems with the bullpen and starting pitchers, with ‘no quick fix’ per this SB Nation article. […]
Diamondbacks News: The offense continues to struggle
Diamondbacks News (SI.com) One Overlooked Reason the Diamondbacks’ Offense Feels So Flat The Arizona Diamondbacks’ offense is undeniably in a state of disarray. The conversations have swirled around areas of weakness, focusing most heavily on a lack of situational ability. But, while that is certainly a large part of the poor production, there’s another reason […]
Did Dock Ellis Really Throw A No Hitter on Psychedelics 56 Years Ago On This Day?
Introduction Fifty Six years ago on this day, Dock Ellis, a 25 year old right handed starting pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, tossed a no hitter against the San Diego Padres. This wouldn’t normally warrant a full article, especially a no hitter where said pitcher walked eight batters and hit one, but you’ve already read […]
College World Series Preview
It’s College World Series time, and this year, there’s a chance that every draft eligible player involved might be there when the Diamondbacks pick 15th. As with last year, there will be tons of talent for subsequent drafts on the field; last year, top overall prospect for 2026 Roch Cholowsky was in Omaha. He’s home […]
Swept In Miami: Dbacks 0, Marlins 2
The Dbacks were swept on Thursday for the second straight series against the Marlins dating back to last season and are now back at .500 on the season. They were shut out for the second straight day for the first time since July of last season. Not great notes. Merrill Kelly did his job today […]

Marlins continue to sizzle with 8-0 drubbing of the D-Backs
It sometimes shocks me how quickly the “vibe” around a baseball team can change. Just two weeks ago, the Diamondbacks finished off a road sweep of the Giants in a solid, all-around effort. That win put the team a season-best seven games over .500 heading to Seattle. Since that game, they’ve gone 3-9 and haven’t […]

Pitching Woes Resume: Dbacks 6, Marlins 10
The Dbacks dropped the series opener in Miami on Tuesday 10-6 as the Arizona pitching was unable to keep any momentum this whole game long. The Dbacks offense would score, and then the pitching would immediately cough the lead right back up. The offense would come back, and then the pitching would give the lead […]

Arizona Diamondbacks look to bounce back in series against the Miami Marlins
Well, that was disappointing. The Diamondbacks followed up holding their own against the Dodgers with getting the tar beat out of them by the struggling, but offensively proficient, Washington Nationals. Thanks more to the other teams around them also struggling than their own efforts, they are still in a playoff position. Worst case scenario is […]
Sour Milk and Alek Thomas
Inspiration. I kept some oat milk in the refrigerator, thinking that when the time was right, it would be much better than regular milk. Eventually the milk went sour. I thought of Alek Thomas. Doubts appeared before it happened. “At this point, expecting Thomas to anchor center field for a competitive Diamondbacks club feels optimistic. […]
