Diamondbacks lose first game of Giants series
Diamondbacks News (Arizona Sports) Diamondbacks offense goes quiet as series opening loss halts momentum After a series win over the Chicago Cubs, the Arizona Diamondbacks couldn’t keep the positive momentum going Thursday against the San Francisco Giants, as the club produced just a single run on six hits in a 6-1 loss. The Diamondbacks were 8-1 against the Giants […]
Giant Letdown: Dbacks 1, Giants 6
The Dbacks were 8-1 on the season against the Giants coming into the game today. However the offense has not yet arrived in San Francisco as the Dbacks drop the first game of the series 6-1. Jose Cabrera got off to a rough start giving up a leadoff home run and throwing 30 pitches in […]

Arizona Diamondbacks Series Preview # 44 : Diamondbacks @ Giants
The Wild Card Race. While the Giants are out of the race, the Diamondbacks are fighting for the third NL Wild Card. The Diamondbacks need to sweep this series. Although this is a 4-game series, and played in San Francisco, perhaps the Diamondbacks will surprise by sweeping the series. This series is an opportunity because: […]
Waldy, Waldy, Waldy, Waldyyy. Please Walk It Off If You Can
Winning a series and still losing ground in the playoff race is not ideal for any ballclub, but the timing couldn’t be any more unfortunate as was for the Dbacks after taking 2 of 3 from the Cincinnati Reds and still dropping a game in the standings to the scorching hot Padres and Phillies, as […]
Snake Bytes 8/27
Team News Lawlar’s homer, Rodriguez’s gem (with lucky break) lead D-backs to win“Everything was working,” Rodriguez said. “It was one of those days where you just go out there and follow your catcher, throw what the catcher is calling. This is the best I’ve felt all year on the mound.” https://www.mlb.com/dbacks/news/jordan-lawlar-home-run-lifts-d-backs-to-win-over-cubs Off the mat, D-backs […]
Eduardo Rodriguez Delivers Again as D-Backs eke out win
I have a confession to make. This whole season, I have been waiting for the other proverbial shoe to drop for Eduardo Rodriguez. I had a difficult time believing the same pitcher who had posted consecutive seasons with ERAs north of five could somehow transform himself into a legitimate Cy Young candidate. There were some […]

Snake Bytes 8/26: Wild Win on Waldy Walk-off
Diamondbacks News Ryan Waldschmidt Walks Off Cubs in Stunning, Injury Scare Filled Comeback The Chicago Cubs managed to hang four runs on Brandon Pfaadt, who had yet another strong outing, despite not getting the quality start. The Diamondbacks had injury scares in the outfield with Vargas and Carroll colliding before Jordan Lawlar (is he the […]
Holy Waldschmidt! Dbacks 5, Cubs 4
Mark Grace perhaps said it best in the postgame show when he said, “Im not sure we have seen a more unlikely Dbacks win the season” The almost Dback Clay Holmes shut this Dbacks offense down for 7 innings. The Dbacks had a deal in place for Holmes per multiple reports but the deal fell […]

Six D’Backs Middle Infield Prospects You Should Know
Introduction For no particular reason, and definitely not in light of any recent events involving the Diamondbacks, I thought it might be a good idea to examine a few of the middle infielders in the Arizona farm system, specifically second baseman. In this article I’m going to go into the middle infield prospects that stood […]
AZ Snake Pit Reacts Survey: Ketel Marte – Deal or No Deal?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Diamondbacks fans and fans across the country. The initial dust about KetelGate has now at least somewhat settled. With the initial wave of kneejerk reactions past, I figure it might be somewhat safe […]
Tim Tawa : No Longer a Dark Horse
The Dark Abyss. An AZ Snake Pit article tapped Tim Tawa as a Dark Horse for the 2025 Roster. Batting. “…That includes Tawa, who spend 2024 in Amarillo and Reno. However, across those levels, he hit 31 homers. Only three players with any franchise in the minors hit more….” — Jim McLennan Fielding. Although he […]
Snake Bytes, 8/24: Skunked
Game Recaps Most of Diamondbacks’ energy spent on dugout spat in loss to Cubs by José M. Romero [AZ Central] The Diamondbacks showed fight on Monday night, Aug. 24 — trouble was, most of it came from the dugout and appeared to be directed toward Chicago Cubs third base coach, Quintin Berry. Beyond that, their night featured another listless […]
Diamondbacks restrain Crow-Armstrong. Rest of Cubs? Less so.
Record 69-63. Pace: 85-77. Change on 2025: +5. Well, in the broader scheme of things, that probably went about as well as could be expected. It was a Merrill Kelly start, after all. He hasn’t picked up a W in more than a month, his last win coming back on July 22. As mentioned in […]

Diamondbacks look to continue Wild Card push against the Cubs
The Diamondbacks took two out of three against the Reds the hard way, including a last minute come from behind win and a loss where they gave up 11 runs, losing two pitchers in the aftermath. But they also got Drey Jameson back, and I for one still believe there’s hope he’ll be a productive […]
All In On Red
The 6 game road trip for the snakes got off to a promising start, but after a series loss in Boston that was full of endless amount of drama surrounding the team and the handling/mishandling of the Ketel Marte situation, the Diamondbacks would be greeted with a 3 game series against the last place Cincinnati […]
Arizona Diamondbacks News, 8/24: Red Scare thwarted
Recaps [AZ Central] Diamondbacks’ ‘heartbeat’ Vargas delivers big in comeback win over Reds – The veteran tripled into right-center field to drive in the tying and go-ahead runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, lifting the Diamondbacks to a 5-3 win over the Reds and keeping Arizona from falling further back in the National […]
The fallout from Ketel Marte’s unexcused absence
Go ahead and get your hottest Ketel Marte take out of the way Spencer: Takes? I barely have any information about the situation. Having a take would be nothing more than pandering to the lack of patience and basic empathy/sympathy of society. James Attwood: As long as Lovullo and the players are welcoming him back […]

Diamondbacks 5, Cincy 11: Never a Chance
On paper, anyway, Michael Soroka was the better starting pitcher than Reds starter Rhett Lowder. Especially after the beatdown we put on Cincinnati last night, it seemed like pretty good odds that we’re stomp the Reds again. Sadly, however, that was not the case. Soroka sucked tonight, Lowder was good until he wasn’t so much, […]
