The Diamondbacks' offense wasted some early opportunities and a quality start from Merrill Kelly, dropping Wednesday's game and the series to the New York Mets. Should fans be concerned after five series losses in their past six?

We discuss Kelly overcoming his cramping issue — at least for a start — as well as Torey Lovullo's controversial decision to have Geraldo Perdomo attempt a sacrifice bunt in the third inning. We also revisit Tuesday's game, in which Zac Gallen became the first D-backs starter to complete seven innings. Finally, we previewed this weekend's series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It wasn't a good weekend for the Diamondbacks, but they managed to salvage their series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. We discuss the win, including Jose Herrera and Geraldo Perdomo's contributions, and Eduardo Rodriguez's bizarre start to the 2025 season. 

We also take a look back at the rest of the Phillies series, specifically the narrative of Merrill Kelly leaving another start early due to a cramp. 

Finally, we preview the upcoming New York Mets series and discuss the latest news surrounding Corbin Burnes' shoulder injury. Could he join Madison Bumgarner and Jordan Montgomery as yet another poor free agent starting pitcher signing under general manager Mike Hazen?

The Diamondbacks notched a series win over the New York Mets at Citi Field behind a strong outing from Zac Gallen. We discuss why this one was different for the D-backs' right-hander. We also talked about Justin Martinez officially hitting the injured list, Shelby Miller getting the first crack at a save opportunity in Martinez's absence and the impending roster move with Ketel Marte expected to come off the injured list.

It was a wild ride, but the Diamondbacks managed to squeak by the New York Mets on Wednesday by a final score of 4-3. Corbin Burnes tossed six innings of one-run ball, but was he as good as the numbers showed? Where do the Diamondbacks go from here after Justin Martinez showed another extreme drop in velocity? We also discuss the state of the Diamondbacks' starting rotation as April comes to a close, as well as the latest news on reliever AJ Puk. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!

The Diamondbacks lost another backbreaker to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday in extra innings. Is the bullpen capable of holding up without AJ Puk and with Justin Martinez's status still up in the air? We also discuss Corbin Burnes looking like himself for four innings but struggling thereafter. Finally, we break down Ryne Nelson's up-and-down season and preview the upcoming series against the Atlanta Braves. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!

The Diamondbacks had more than enough opportunities on Wednesday, but they ultimately lost an 11-inning, back-and-forth game to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Corbin Carroll hit two home runs and Eduardo Rodriguez pitched better than his final line, but Shelby Miller, Ryan Thompson and Rey Jameson had rough nights out of the bullpen and the offense was unable to get the big hit.

In this episode, we discuss all aspects of the game, plus injury updates on AJ Puk, Justin Martinez, Kevin Ginkel and Ketel Marte. We also discuss Tim Tawa's excellent play so far and how that could impact Jordan Lawlar's timeline. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

After a 3-for-41 start to the season, the Diamondbacks optioned outfielder Jake McCarthy on Monday and are expected to call up Jorge Barrosa from Triple-A Reno to replace him. How did we get here so quickly with McCarthy and what does he need to work on? 

We also discuss D-backs left-handed reliever AJ Puk hitting the injured list, and some potential injury concerns over right-hander Justin Martinez after he was deemed unavailable throughout the weekend. Finally, we discuss Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen's very different outings against the Chicago Cubs and preview the upcoming series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

After taking an 11-7 lead in an epic 10-run eighth inning on Friday, the Diamondbacks lost in brutal fashion to Kyle Tucker and the Chicago Cubs by a final score of 13-11. 

Should Torey Lovullo have used Justin Martinez and AJ Puk despite their recent usage? Did Corbin Burnes finally look like himself after a subpar start to the season? Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers discussed all this and more in a postgame edition of Snakes Territory.

The Diamondbacks kept their momentum going on Wednesday with a 6-2 win over the Miami Marlins, and we went live on YouTube for the first time ever to talk about it. Brandon Pfaadt was excellent, Corbin Carroll notched another key hit and four Diamondbacks hitters homered, including Tim Tawa with the first of his career. We also made way-too-early comparisons between Josh Naylor and Christian Walker, as well as Pavin Smith and Joc Pederson. Is it too early to say that the Diamondbacks made the right decisions?
