Snakepit Roundtable: Burnes, Gallen, Soroka return
All three of Burnes, Gallen, and Soroka returned from the IL this week. Which do you expect to have the biggest positive impact on the team? James Attwood: Probably Soroka. Burnes is still pitch-limited and is still looking for the feel and timing on his breaking pitches, especially the curve. Gallen has had a rough […]
Know When To Fold ‘Em
Being able to leave Kansas City with a big series win but unfortunately missing out on an opportunity to get the Diamondbacks first sweep since July 10-12 against the Dodgers, the Dbacks came back to Phoenix to start their final homestand of 2026 against another team who is also still in the fight for a […]

Diamondbacks 2, Texas 6: Return of the One Big Inning
Well, you know what they say: “You can’t win ‘em all.“ On paper, it looked like maybe we should have won this one, and if you were keeping score, it would not have been lost at you that we basically won eight out of the nine innings that were played tonight. Sadly, however, that’s not […]

Diamondbacks beat Rangers, score 9 on 11 hits, on 9/11
Record: 79-69. Pace: 86-76. Change on 2025: +6. In the middle of the fifth inning, this looked like another one of those Diamondbacks games, which have been all too common lately. They were trailing 1-0 to the Rangers, starter Merrill Kelly was out, and the team had never really looked like scoring. But they then […]

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers preview
It is obligatory to include a reference to the 2023 World Series in every preview between these two teams, so let’s get that out of the way first. As we remember well, Texas prevailed in five games. But since then? Neither team has returned to the playoffs. It was the first World Series since 2006 […]
Diamondbacks get clean MRI for Corbin Carroll
[Ed. Note] apologies for the short and late SnakeBytes. Definitely forgot until I needed to walk out the door for work Diamondbacks News (Arizona Sports) Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll to return to lineup Friday following MRI Gambadoro added that nothing concerning was found on Carroll’s MRI, which he underwent Thursday after dealing with lower back discomfort.

“And We’ll Never Be Royals”
Departing Houston with a series win had the Diamondbacks ahead of the Padres by a half of a game yet again with them hoping to add to that lead with a series against the Kansas City Royals on deck. As mentioned in the last episode, the Royals offense is one of the weaker parts of […]
How good is the D-backs 2026 bullpen really?
I’ve seen a number of comments on social media recently, saying things like the D-backs have the best bullpen in the majors, or that this is the best bullpen in franchise history. However, if you look at the raw metrics, there’s not much evidence to support either statement. We’ve talked (a lot!) before about Mike […]
Arizona Diamondbacks News, 9/10: Gallen and Soroka underwhelm
Recaps [Dbacks.com] Gallen, Soroka return, but D-backs fall out of 3rd NL Wild Card spot – In Arizona’s 5-2 loss to the Royals in the series finale, Gallen worked the opening 3 1/3 innings. He wasn’t able to get through the fourth because a 10-pitch at-bat against Nick Loftin with one out lifted his pitch […]
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.

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 […]

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 […]
