Injuries continue to plague Arizona Diamondbacks: Nelson, Soroka
The injury bug struck again and Nelson is out. Who would you like to see be first in line to replace him? James Attwood: Brandon Pfaadt. Pfaadt’s future is as a starter, whether that is as a #3 or as a #5, he’s still a starter for now. Pfaadt has also had some modest success […]

Diamondbacks 8, Minnesota 16: Gallen Saved the Bullpen
God, what an utterly stupid game. Zac Gallen was going for us. Turns out it didn’t matter who was going for the Twins, though for the record it was Taj Bradley. Our Mr. Gallen really outdid himself tonight, though. His ERA was was sitting at a cool 5.35 at the start of the game; it […]

Which pitching prospects are next up in the farm system?
Introduction There were three rookies getting their very first taste of the big leagues on the D-Backs’ active roster in Ryan Waldschmidt, Tommy Troy, and most recently LuJames Groover. They represent a growing youth movement for the D-Backs that has helped fuel them into the postseason chase alongside their usual veterans. It hasn’t been completely […]
Snake Bytes 6/20: My Kingdom for an Arm!
Diamondbacks News Carroll, Bullpen Pull Snakes Through Emotionally Taxing DayFirst, the Diamondbacks learned that they have lost Ryne Nelson for the remainder of the season. Then, in-between the first and second innings, they lost Michael Soroka to injury. Then, in the eighth inning, Jordan Lawlar left the game with a tight hamstring and will now […]
Diamondbacks 9, Twins 5: Corbin Carries the Day
Game Summary The Arizona Diamondbacks have a superstar. Ketel Marte is fantastic, as he showcased with the satellite he launched into orbit on his home run, but Corbin Carroll is a true superstar. Apple TV’s broadcast put Carroll in the center of the show tonight with the pregame promos and in-game interviews, and Carroll didn’t […]

Arizona Diamondbacks to face Minnesota Twins at home
They did it in probably the hardest fashion possible, but the Diamondbacks won a series victory over the Angels. It worked out to basically be treading water. They remain two games above .500 and are still a half game out of the third Wild Card spot. Not a bad position to be in, though, especially […]
Diamondbacks to buy at the deadline
Diamondbacks News (SI.com) Hopeful Diamondbacks Plan To Buy at Trade Deadline It was hardly even a question, thrown in at the end of a radio interview, but Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen went out of his way to give a definitive, strong statement on his trade deadline plans. “I’m planning on buying,” Hazen said, […]
Fixing first-base failings
The Diamondbacks have had a complete disaster of a season at first-base. The original plan seems to have been to have a platoon there of Pavin Smith and the veteran free-agent Carlos Santana. But injury means that the pair have combined to start just 10 of the 74 games played there. In addition, they have […]

Team News Corbin Barrels: Carroll’s slam backs Rodriguez en route to 100th career win “I had seen a few [changeups] in that at-bat before,” Carroll said. “Left-on-left changeups are not too common, but I felt like it helped, had seen it that at-bat before, and was able to put a good swing on it.” The […]
D-Backs Flip the Script in an 8-1 Thumping of the Angels
In baseball, we often like to talk about “flushing” a bad game and mentally preparing for the next one – usually the very next day – as one of several stock phrases to describe the ability to move past failure and try to visualize the next success. It’s a particularly appropriate phenomenon in baseball when […]

Snake Bytes 6/17: Time for a Goldfish’s Memory
Diamondbacks News Kelly, Offense Providing More Questions than AnswersMerrill Kelly got slapped around for six runs in 5 q/3 innings. The offense only managed four hits and five base runners all game. The result was very much as most would expect, a one-sided drubbing on the Diamondbacks by perennial cellar-dwellers, the Anaheim Angels of Los […]
Dbacks and Kelly Thud Yet Again: Dbacks 0, Angels 7
The Dbacks dropped the second game of the series against the Angels Tuesday night 7-0. The offense had absolutely nothing and Merrill Kelly got lit once again. Tonight marked the team’s 7th shutout loss of the season. Merrill Kelly did not have anything today as he gave up 6 ER in 5.1 innings. He allowed […]

Women’s Professional Softball: Season Two
Inspiration. During my weekly walk on the beach with a group of friends, I missed the last game of the series with the Marlins. Then, I noticed the start of season two of professional women’s softball. Last season, this AZ Snake Pit article talked about the arrival of professional women’s softball. As a follow-up, I […]
Snake Bytes, 6/16: “Pavin can hit”
Game Recaps Smith proves his skipper and GM right with game-winning homer by Steve Gilbert [DBacks.com] After explaining why he wants to give Smith time to get his footing under him after missing time, Lovullo said it. “Pavin can hit.” Smith made his manager look prophetic a few hours later when his seventh-inning homer off […]
Cravin’ Pavin! Smith’s first HR leads D-backs to 4-3 victory over Angels
Record: 37-35. Pace: 83-79. Change on 2025: +1. Ryne Nelson’s strong series of outings at Chase Field continued, as he pitched seven innings of two-run ball. The D-backs used some smart base-running to keep in touch, then Pavin Smith’s first home-run since his two-homer game in Chicago, almost a year ago (June 23rd), gave them […]
