Diamondbacks 6, Toronto 2: Grand Slam, Thank You….Corbin
Another Saturday game, another Zac Gallen start, another swirling bit of anxiety in the gullet as we waited to see which Zac we were going to get today. I remember the heyday of Gallen’s good times, when he really was the unquestioned ace of the rotation, rather than simply being the guy who happens to […]

Diamondbacks 6, Blue Jays 3: Serpientes Capitalize on Someone Else’s Mistakes
Game Summary After a long and successful road trip, the Diamondbacks kicked off this six game homestand with a nearly drama-free victory over the defending AL Champs. It felt like a downright walk in the park to have a 3-run lead going into the 9th inning. What sorcery is this?! The Snakes didn’t play mistake-free […]

Series Preview #7: Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Blue Jays
The Diamondbacks come into this series as one of the hottest teams in baseball. They’ve won seven out of their last ten, have only lost one series this season. They’re on fire. Unfortunately, they are exactly the third hottest team in baseball. The other two are directly in front of them in the NL West […]
Snakebytes 4/17: Toronto comes to town
Diamondbacks News (SI.com) Diamondbacks Trade Hard-Throwing Reliever to Brewers Fernandez was signed by the D-backs to a minor league contract and given an invite to spring training. At the time he was part of an effort by the team to bring in a number of “high-octane” arms, hoping to find a Diamondback in the rough. (Yahoo! Sports) […]
What are the most absurd Diamondbacks’ extrapolations?
Introduction Believe it or not, but we are a little over 10% of the way through the baseball season with most of the teams having played 18 or 19 games so far. That’s not enough time or opportunities to make any kind of definitive statements about any player or team, but it does feel like […]
You’ll Never Believe This Top Arizona Diamondbacks Hitter!
Sometimes you need a clickbaity title for fun, and sometimes the extreme title is actually justified. This might be one of those times. In the early going, there aren’t a tremendous amount of statistics that mean much of anything, or at least that mean enough to re-evaluate what we think about a player. As an […]
Arizona Diamondbacks Injured List update
The Diamondbacks may have got Merrill Kelly back while in Baltimore. But Arizona still currently have a full dozen players on the injured list. They are evenly split between hitters and pitchers, but two-third of them are on the extended 60-day injured list. With an off-day today, I thought it was a good opportunity to […]

D’Backs Prospects, Part 3: Sizzling Snakes From the Stable
Introduction Over the last few weeks, I’ve broken down the Dbacks top ten hitting prospects and a few honorable mentions. Originally, I had planned to break down the top ten pitching prospects this week, but I decided to instead focus on a few of the lesser known and unheralded prospects in the system who have […]
Diamondbacks 8, Orioles 5: Rubber Match Redoubt
I have been very transparent in my love for these two franchises for very different reasons. For the D-Backs, their 2001 World Series win is one of my earliest and most vivid baseball memories while I got to witness the end of Cal Ripken Jr’s magical career and watch multiple waves of success and failure […]

Are Diamondbacks At Their Best in 1-Run Games?
Which teams had the most 1-run games? Frequent 1-Run Games. In games through 8 April, the Rockies and the Diamondbacks were tied for the most 1-run games in the Majors. On 10 April, the changed standings showed the Diamondbacks in the lead with seven 1-run games, the Mariners in second place with six 1-run games, […]

Arizona Diamondbacks 7, Baltimore Orioles 9: Ladies and gentlemen, the bullpen
Record: 9-8. Pace: 86-76. Change on 2025: -1. Well, I guess it had to happen eventually. The D-backs looked to be cruising in this one, enjoying a 7-1 lead in the opening game at Oriole Park in the middle of the sixth. But the bullpen, which had been so impressive over the first two series […]

Orioles are league leaders. Tonight the Diamondbacks will be starting the first game of a series that will wrap up their East Coast trip. After meeting the Mets in Flushing (I used to live on a 10 minute drive from Vlissingen, which is the Dutch village it was named after – just to provide you […]

Snakepit Roundtable: We’re doin’ alright
Since last we spoke, the Diamondbacks have been one of the hottest teams in baseball. What’s going right for them? Wesley: Eduardo Rodriguez, Zac Gallen, Jonathan Loáisiga, Corbin Carroll, Ildemaro Vargas, Jose Fernandez, and the unfortunately now injured Lawlar and Moreno have all been key drivers of this early success, in my opinion. Makakilo: Two […]
