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 […]
Corbin Burnes expected to return
Diamondbacks News (Arizona Sports) Diamondbacks’ Corbin Burnes expected to make return vs. Royals Burnes pitched two 1-2-3 innings for the Reno Aces on Aug. 23 and in a bridge camp game on Thursday. There was discussion of Burnes potentially returning from the injured list for the Diamondbacks’ weekend series against the Houston Astros, but manager […]

You do the recap of the game in the Feed, however you want. It can be light-hearted or not; stats-heavy or not, detailed or atmospheric […]
The Arizona Diamondbacks have not gone streaking
It was September 6th, 2017. The Diamondbacks completed a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles with a 3-1 victory, Taijuan Walker getting the win and Adam Rosales hitting a go-ahead double in the seventh inning. It was, remarkably, Arizona thirteenth victory in a row, a franchise record which still stands. But what’s more remarkable […]
A Deep Dive into D’Backs Pitching Prospects You Need to Know, Part 1
Introduction While I agree with the general consensus that the Diamondbacks biggest weakness is a failure to develop pitching prospects, and it’s not a strength for the organization, I find most of the criticisms of the current Arizona farm system laughable, when the vast majority of critics can’t name anyone in the farm system. That […]
Snake Bytes 9/3
Team News Diamondbacks bullpen has finest hour in shutout vs. Phillies: ‘We take pride in what we do’ Taylor Clarke, Derek Law, Kevin Ginkel, Jose Cabrera, Brandyn Garcia, Jonathan Loaisiga and Juan Morillo stymied the Phillies for three hits and two walks. It was the most pitchers used in a nine-inning shutout win in franchise […]
D-Backs Avoid Sweep Behind a Single Blast and a Shutout
It’s rare in baseball for a single player to single-handedly win a game because of the structure of the sport. There are very few things a single player can do to have that much leverage in a game and instead requires much more active participation from the rest of the team on the field or […]
Arizona Diamondbacks: September confidence poll
The final month of the regular season is with us. Less than four weeks are left, before we’ll know whether Arizona are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2023. Or if they will be left to press their noses to the glass from the outside, like waifs and strays. At least it’s […]

Snake Bytes 9/2: Punchless in Phoenix
Diamondbacks News Phillies Win Series, Separation from DiamondbacksIt seems Corbin Carroll’s back is giving him issues, something that is going to need to be addressed in a hurry if the Diamondbacks are going to retain a playoff berth. Diamondbacks Jockey with Padres, Marlins for Wild CardIt would certainly behoove the Diamondbacks to get back to […]
Deja Vu All Over Again: Dbacks 1, Phillies 7
I feel as though I have already written this recap about 20 times this season. The Dbacks starting pitching was able to keep the team in the game, but the offense never got going in this one as they have yet to get a hit with RISP this series. Perhaps the tone of the day […]

Diamondbacks are Batting Better in August
Inspiration. In August, the Diamondbacks are strongly competing for a Wild Card. Several starting pitchers remained on the injured list. The batters are excellent, aren’t they? Let’s look at the batters. Looking at Batters Two Ways. OPS. OPS is one combined measure of on-base percentage and slugging (average number of bases per at bat). In […]
Snake Bytes, 9/1: Boos and Lose
Game Recaps Phillies, Stott end blazing August with an all-around win vs. D-backs by Michael Reynolds [MLB] The Phillies closed July having lost four straight games and four straight series, but they opened August with four straight wins and never looked back. With a 2-1 victory over the D-backs in Monday’s series opener, the Phillies closed August […]
Get the best of AZ Snake Pit on the new SB Nation app
Readers of a certain age – by which I mean, “old” – may remember there used to be an SB Nation app, which you could use to access whichever sites you had on your list. It was released in 2011, and I liked it. But it largely became irrelevant about a year later, as the […]
D-backs 1, Phillies 2: Narratives! Get yer narratives!
Record: 73-66. Pace: 85-77. Change on 2025: +5. The Diamondbacks won the series against the Phillies on the East coast, but all three games there were decided by one run. Tonight’s game at Chase Field was just as close, neither side exactly taking advantage of their scoring opportunities. Arizona and Philadelphia combined to go 1-for-15 […]

Arizona Diamondbacks Series Preview #44: Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Ladies, gentlemen, and distinguished others! Welcome to Meaningful September Baseball! Starting things off, you don’t get much more meaningful than this series against the Phillies. In fact, I think a case could be made that it is at least as, if not more, important than the upcoming series against San Diego. You might disagree with […]
Down By The Bay, Where W’s Don’t Grow
A momentum building series win over the Chicago Cubs where there was drama in all 3 games, the Diamondbacks would look to carry that momentum into their 4 game series against the struggling San Francisco Giants. The good news going into this series is the Dbacks have had the Giants number in 2026, winning 8 […]
Arizona Diamondbacks News, 8/31: Lazy Sunday
Recaps Uh… For the first time in a long while, this was a Sunday in the regular season without a scheduled Diamondbacks game. Still, there was action of relevance, in particular the Padres coughing up another late lead in Tampa, on the way to getting swept at the hands of the Rays. However, the Phillies […]
