Snakes Territory: An Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

After back-to-back losses to the Rangers and the Padres now having won seven in a row, is the D-backs' season on the brink of collapse? We discuss what went wrong in their final two games against the Texas Rangers and where it leaves them with 12 games to play. Do they have enough time to make up the ground?
We discuss an offense that continues to struggle against right-handers, a surprising string of defensive mistakes and Brandon Pfaadt coming back down to earth over the past month. What are the keys to success as the D-backs take on the Marlins and Yankees this next week?
Finally, we hit on some recent news items, including Lourdes Gurriel Jr. being designated for assignment, Pavin Smith finding his way back to the majors and Zac Gallen officially landing in the bullpen.

For the first time in what feels like a long time, the Diamondbacks won in dominant fashion with a 9-1 beatdown of the Texas Rangers. We discuss Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte leading the way offensively, and Kevin Ginkel getting a couple of huge outs in the fifth inning to shift the momentum in their favor.
We also dive in to Justin Martinez tossing the fifth immaculate inning in D-backs history — and the team's second this season alone. What has worked so well for Martinez since his return from the injured list, and when could we start seeing him pitch back-to-backs?
Finally, we discuss the D-backs' looming starting rotation decision involving Michael Soroka and Zac Gallen. Would the D-backs really keep Gallen in the rotation over Soroka? And how might Ryne Nelson factor in? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory network.

The Diamondbacks did it again. After not scoring for seven innings, they broke through late against the Kansas City Royals and found a way to win their fourth straight game. Blake Walston and Tim Tawa came through when it mattered most, and Corbin Burnes was effective in his long-awaited return to the mound.
We dive in to all angles of the win, including our thoughts on Burnes' return. Should we be concerned that Burnes' stuff was still down a tick or two? What expectations should we have moving forward? Meanwhile, the D-backs named Zac Gallen as their starting pitcher for Wednesday with Michael Soroka pitching behind him.
We also discuss Ryne Nelson getting close to a return, and the San Diego Padres pulling off a dramatic win of their own to stay half a game back.

Another day, another nailbiter win for the Diamondbacks. After being held scoreless for nine innings on Monday, the D-backs hung on for a 5-4 victory in 10 innings over the Kansas City Royals. We dive in to who got the big hits when they needed them most, and another very good day for the bullpen. We also revisit Sunday's win, in which Eduardo Rodriguez tossed another gem despite not having his best stuff.
We then discuss your mailbag questions. What should we expect from Corbin Burnes in his season debut? How will the D-backs will handle the upcoming roster crunch with Michael Soroka, Zac Gallen and Ryne Nelson all expected to return? Plus, who of the Diamondbacks' impending free agent relief pitchers are top candidates to re-sign?
Finally, we discuss what a Diamondbacks playoff roster could look like. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory network.

After falling behind early once again, the Diamondbacks notched their league-leading 42nd comeback win of the year on Saturday against the Houston Astros with a 4-3 win in 10 innings. Ketel Marte had arguably the biggest swing of the night with a game-tying homer in the eighth, and Gabriel Moreno hit an RBI single in the 10th that gave the D-backs the lead. As has often been the case, the bullpen was excellent, too.
We discuss the biggest moments of the win, including a pair of huge strikeouts of Yordan Alvarez, a Lars Nootbaar RBI double, another quality start from Brandon Pfaadt and more. Plus, Corbin Carroll had a couple of hard-hit balls, including a double in the first inning. Meanwhile, is it time for the D-backs to move on from Max Kepler?
We also give the latest on four injured pitchers who could return to the team soon, including Corbin Burnes, Michael Soroka, Zac Gallen and Ryne Nelson. What kind of roles could they play? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory network.
