Snake Bytes, 8/18: No Shows
Game Recaps Diamondbacks, minus Ketel Marte, look uninspired in a Boston blowout by Nick Piecoro [AZ Central] Lefty Mitch Bratt gave up three runs in three innings and right-hander Zack Littell allowed eight runs (six earned) in 3 2/3 innings. It was just the Diamondbacks’ 13th loss in their past 34 games — they entered […]
Diamondbacks lose ugly to Red Sox, with Ketel Marte AWOL
Record: 66-60. Pace: 85-77. Change on 2025: +6. Well, this was ugly in every conceivable way. However, the Diamondbacks can perhaps be forgiven for being “off” this evening in Boston, as matters off the field took center stage. Face of the franchise Ketel Marte no-showed at Fenway Park this afternoon, forcing a roster change with […]
D-backs @ Red Sox Discussion
Full lineups not yet available. Roster moves The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster remains at 40. A lot of moves to get through here, with the return of a long-anticipated bullpen arm topping the moves. The last time Martinez pitched in the major leagues? June 9th, 2025. That’s one […]

A disappointing series defeat at the hands of the Colorado Rockies to finish of a homestand that had a lot of promising moments left a sour taste in the mouths of a lot of Dbacks fans and gave some a reason to be less than optimistic that the next series would be better as they […]
Arizona Diamondbacks News, 8/17: Garcia’s Last Stand
Recaps [AZ Central] Diamondbacks fall to Braves in series finale, at Red Sox next – Gabriel Moreno and Ildemaro Vargas each hit solo home runs, but the Diamondbacks lost everyday third baseman Nolan Arenado to what the team announced as left trunk discomfort in the top of the fourth inning of a 5-3 road loss […]
The best D’Back catching prospect right now probably isn’t the one you’re thinking of
Introduction When I first outlined this article after the signing deadline had passed, I wasn’t very impressed with the Arizona Diamondbacks’ first selection in the 2026 draft. Just to be clear, this isn’t a slight against Helfrick, but because I think there are catching prospect that might be just as good, if not better than […]
What needs to keep going right for the Diamondbacks to make the playoffs?
The Diamondbacks dropped two out of three to the Rockies. Are we at the point in the season where we can no longer brush it off as “just a series”? Spencer: Sure? But what about all the games early on we lost? It sucks but there’s a lot of baseball left. There’s just a lot […]

Diamondbacks 10, Atlanta 3: Nolan and the Hologram
I hope you all will forgive me for spending a portion of my Saturday mornings sorting through various somewhat bleak baseball things in preparation for the coming recap. For instance, today I found myself roaming around looking at the recent game logs for Harrison Grant Holmes and comparing them those of Eduardo Rodriguez (Holmes had […]

Diamondbacks 2, Braves 0: Pfaadt and the Zeroes
Game Summary There was plenty of wailing and gnashing of teeth during the game regarding the Diamondbacks woeful offense with RISP, but fortunately our pitching staff was up to the task of letting a meager 2 run output from the lineup hold up. To start with the offense, they were giving themselves plenty of opportunities, […]

Staggering Diamondbacks take on the division leading Braves
Even the worst teams in baseball win a third of their games. But if you’re a playoff contender and facing one of those worst teams in baseball, letting them take two out of three with just a few dozen games left to play is devestating. If the Diamondbacks end up losing a playoff spot by […]
Rock Me Colorado

The fellas and I […]

Do players stay with the teams who drafted them?
This was inspired by a comment in Monday’s Gameday Thread, where I joked about the horror of pitchers discovering they’d been drafted by the Rockies. kilnborn asked, “Aren’t players traded away from the team that drafted them far more often than they play for that team in the bigs?” I wasn’t able to find out […]
AZ Snake Pit Updated Top-30 Prospects 2026
Usually, these sorts of lists have minor, incremental changes from one release to the next. That’s usually informed by a promotion here and there and perhaps an occasional trade. A long-term injury can sometimes drop a prospect a bit. This update though, it’s pretty big. Arizona has promoted or traded a number of names from […]

Poor execution dooms comeback as D-Backs fall flat to Rockies 6-4
We don’t often talk about “trap games” – games against a weaker opponent that a team might overlook because of the ones immediately preceding or following it – in baseball the way we might in college basketball or football. Between the inherent variability from game to game, the sheer volume of games in a season, […]
