Snakes Territory: An Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

The Diamondbacks continued their ownership of the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, completing their second sweep in the past week. Michael Soroka was stellar once again, and the D-backs capitalized on several pivotal Giants mistakes.
We discuss our takeaways from the series, from the starting rotation's continued success, to Ketel Marte hitting a 452-foot home run, to some shaky bullpen moments, to Ryan Waldschmidt starting to look a bit more human. We also talk injury updates, with Nolan Arenado being the latest addendum to the report. When will Arenado return, and what about Pavin Smith, Jordan Lawlar and others?
Finally, we take a look at the Diamondbacks' playoff odds and preview the upcoming series against a Seattle Mariners team that appears to be heating up. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

The Diamondbacks are on fire. After beating the Giants 6-2 on Memorial Day, they are back to a season-high five games over .500. Have we ever seen a run like the one Ketel Marte is on right now? And will he and Corbin Carroll form one of the best position player duos in baseball the rest of the season?
Meanwhile, Merrill Kelly continued his recent run of success, and D-backs starting pitchers at large are pitching deep into games with regularity. Also, Tommy Troy has burst on the scene with three hits in his first two big-league games. How will the team handle the upcoming roster crunch with Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Pavin Smith and others due back from injury soon?
Finally, we discuss where the D-backs stand in the NL playoff picture, including a look at the playoff odds. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

The D-backs swept the San Francisco Giants, and all indications are that Ketel Marte is back. After hitting a walk-off home run in Tuesday's game, Marte reached base in all four plate appearances in the finale. We discuss Marte's tremendously bad luck finally turning around.
We also discuss our other series takeaways. Does Ryan Waldschmidt have the power to blossom into a superstar? Is Corbin Carroll alright after getting hit in the head by a throw to third base? Is the D-backs' bullpen actually good?
Finally, we preview the team's series against the Colorado Rockies. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

Despite an eventful final two innings, the Diamondbacks left Colorado with a series win behind a stellar outing from Michael Soroka and a two-homer game from Corbin Carroll. Carroll explained after the game what's been working for him offensively, and we dive in to some larger trends with D-backs swing decisions.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Moreno and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. are showing signs of coming out of slumps offensively, and Eduardo Rodriguez delivered another solid outing. After a rough outing on Sunday, could Brandon Pfaadt be optioned to Triple-A Reno?
