Snake Bytes 4/5 Happy Easter!
Team News Michael Soroka gives Diamondbacks another strong impression in win over Braves “I think we fell behind a little more than we would have liked, but (catcher Gabriel Moreno) and I made some good decisions with some pitches late in counts, good pitches with guys in scoring position, let the defense work and got the win,” […]
Diamondbacks 2, Atlanta 1: Who Needs Bats?
Okay, so this was a strange one. As was noted in 1AZFan1’s recap of last night’s shutout loss, our offense has been completely AWOL for several days now. This is something we’ve seen happen plenty over the last several years, but these multi-day offensive outages get exponentially more concerning when, as I and others have […]

Snake Bytes 4/3: Shutout by Braves
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks Waste a Second E-Rod GemEduardo Rodriguez gave the Diamondbacks as good an opportunity to win on Friday as anyone could ask for, throwing seven scoreless innings. Unfortunately, Arizona’s offense was held even quieter. Offense, Sewald Spoil E-Rod GemArizona did not even register their first hit until the sixth inning and never had […]
Diamondbacks 0, Braves 2: O Offense, Where Art Thou?
Game Summary Another Friday night, another tough loss. This week’s episode featured outstanding starting pitching from the hologram himself, Eduardo Rodriguez, as well as some incredible defense. Unfortunately, the offense didn’t come along for the ride and is now riding a streak of 3 runs scored in 27 innings since that 3-run go-ahead bomb off […]

Jordan Lawlar breaks wrist, Joe Ross DFA’d
This is unfortunate. The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 40. As if last night’s game wasn’t sucky enough already. Lawlar was hit on the wrist last night, by a pitch in the seventh inning from the Braves’ Osvaldo Bido. Initial X-rays proved negative at the time, but […]
Re-assessing wins and losses
It’s fairly well-accepted that assigning wins and losses are a flawed metric. As we say earlier in the week, pitchers like Tarik Skubal can have an excellent game, but still get tagged with the L through no fault of their own, simply because the offense has a bad day. Worse, relief pitchers can vulture wins […]
SnakeBytes 4/3: Welp
Diamondbacks news Let’s start with the good news Okay, hope you enjoyed that because that’s pretty much where the happy news ends. (Burn City Sports) Big inning problems continue for Diamondbacks in blowout loss to Braves Thursday’s game marked another instance this season in which the D-Backs have struggled to limit damage once an inning […]
What a Clunker! Braves 17, Dbacks 2
Unfortunately, the Diamondbacks fell victim to an early-season clunker in the series opener, thanks to an explosive eight-run fifth inning from the visiting Atlanta Braves. Getting bitten by the big inning is quickly becoming an unwelcome narrative for this young Arizona club. In a game that offered few positives, one standout moment provided a bright […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks 2026 Top Position Playing Prospects Part One: Honorable Mentions + #11 to #6 Hitting Prospects
Introduction The Dbacks farm system could be described as a top heavy system, that ranks in the middle of the pack overall out of all 30 team’s farm systems, and I wouldn’t disagree at all with that assessment. While the Diamondbacks have drafted, signed, and developed some really great hitters in recent years such as […]

Team News Zac Gallen blanks Tigers in return to Chase Field, Diamondbacks complete sweep “If you’re a baseball purist, you’ve got to love this type of game,” Lovullo said. “You’ve got two elite starting pitchers that are just going toe-to-toe with one another.” https://arizonasports.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/zac-gallen-tigers/3616512/ Gallen outduels Skubal as D-backs blank Tigers to cap sweep“As the game […]
Series Preview #3: Braves @ Diamondbacks
If you look at the current Diamondbacks’ win-loss record, you could say that the season is going according to expectations, although, all truth told, the Diamondbacks do not necessarily have an easy start of the season with the World Series champions in our first series, a 2025 play-off team in our second series and a […]
Diamondbacks 1, Tigers 0: No Foolin’ Sweep
There’s always a worry that a team will come out flat the day after an emotional victory like last night’s come-from-behind win. That’s why it’s important to have a strong performance from your starting pitcher – particularly with this team’s bullpen – and Zac Gallen delivered exactly what the team needed. Unfortunately, he was lined […]
Arizona Diamondbacks: April confidence poll
March results When we checked in at the beginning of March, spring training was under way. We had addressed the first-base situation, with Carlos Santana signed to provide veteran presence. However, Corbin Carroll had been forced to miss time due to a broken hamate bone in his hand – though fortunately, that proved to be […]

Snake Bytes 4/1: No Way Jose!!!
Diamondbacks News Jose Fernandez Hits Go-Ahead Homer to Save Snakes in MLB DebutDiamondbacks prospect Jose Fernandez not only hit his first career home run in his major league debut on Tuesday, but he homered a second time to give Arizona the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning off Detroit Tigers closer Kenley Jansen. […]
Where does Jose Fernandez’s debut rank?
Despite the strong spring enjoyed by Jose Fernandez, it’s safe to say that nobody saw last night coming. Fernandez barely made it onto MLB Pipeline’s list of Arizona prospects, coming in at #27. His promotion to the big league roster, came after just a single game at Triple-A. And it was as much because Jose […]
Hip Hip, JOSE! The Rookie Makes History! Dbacks 7, Tigers 5
Jose Fernandez. That is it. That’s the recap. Give the guy his flowers. From a pitching standpoint, Brandon Pfaadt had a very Brandon Pfaadt outing. He rolled through 5 innings, but was so bad in the 3rd the announcers on the broadcast thought he was tipping his pitches. Pfaadt was atleast able to give the […]
What personal milestones could be reached by the Diamondbacks this season?
Introduction For the past couple of years, I have tried to compile lists of individual player milestones that might be reached during the season. Those lists have included Eugenio Suarez successfully reaching 300 career home runs and Torey Lovullo’s elusive attempts to return to a winning record as a manager. I find it fascinating to […]
