The Diamondbacks lost in familiar fashion on Friday as Zac Gallen struggled with his command and the offense remained stagnant. We discussed whether Gallen's issues are more mental or physical, and what specifically did not work for him on Friday. We also discuss a D-backs offense that has become too reliant on home runs, with both Ketel Marte and Gabriel Moreno delivering homers on Friday. 

Finally, we talk about whether Tim Tawa is deserving of more reps in center field over Alek Thomas, and what Justin Martinez's role will be now that he has been reinstated from the injured list. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!

Corbin Burnes delivered yet another stellar performance, but Teoscar Hernandez's three-run homer proved too much for the Diamondbacks offense in a 3-1 loss at Dodger Stadium. We discuss Burnes' solid outing and the Diamondbacks' lack of timely hitting.

We also revisit Monday and Tuesday's games of the Dodgers series, breaking down Ryne Nelson and Brandon Pfaadt's outings and some good signs for Gabriel Moreno.

Finally, we discussed whether Jordan Lawlar really belongs in the majors and the latest injury news on Justin Martinez, Drey Jameson, Adrian Del Castillo and more. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!

The Diamondbacks took 2 of 3 from the Colorado Rockies, but that one loss will be hard to forget. We discuss the latest D-backs bullpen meltdown that led to one of the more painful losses in franchise history. We also discuss Merrill Kelly and Corbin Burnes, who dominated in their starts over the weekend, and Zac Gallen, who did not. Plus, what's the latest on Justin Martinez and AJ Puk as they continue to work their way back from injury? Is it still possible that this D-backs bullpen could become an asset at some point later in the year? Finally, we preview the upcoming series against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Do the Diamondbacks have what it takes to keep up with Fernando Tatis and the San Diego Padres and Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers? Special guest Patrick Lyons from Rockies Insider joins to discuss the current state of the NL West and where the Diamondbacks fall in it. They also discuss the possibility that the 2025 Colorado Rockies will go down as the worst team in modern MLB history, and Patrick sheds some light on why the club recently relieved long-time manager Bud Black of his duties.

Finally, the guys spend some time appreciating Evan Longoria for his contributions to the Diamondbacks and his career as a whole after his recent retirement announcement. Join Jesse Friedman and Patrick Lyons on Snakes Territory!

The Diamondbacks bent but did not break on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants, hanging on by a final score of 8-7 after leading 8-2 early on. Ketel Marte homered twice, but is he hurt after exiting the game early? Eduardo Rodriguez struggled once again. Could the Diamondbacks be close to making a change in the rotation?

Plus, we discuss Torey Lovullo getting ejected due to an obstruction call, and step back to get a larger view of how the Diamondbacks performed over a brutal stretch of games. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!

It's official: The Diamondbacks called top prospect Jordan Lawlar up from Triple-A Reno on Monday prior to their series opener against the San Francisco Giants. To make room for Lawlar, they designated Garrett Hampson for assignment. Was that move surprising? What do we know about Lawlar's expected playing time and how might fellow newcomer Kendall Graveman contribute out of the bullpen?

We also answer a plethora of your mailbag questions, from how we feel about the Diamondbacks at the one-quarter mark of the season to whether it's time to call Jake McCarthy back up to the majors to which Triple-A relievers could contribute in the bullpen.

News broke late Sunday night that the Diamondbacks are calling up top shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar. How has Lawlar performed this year in Triple-A and what should Diamondbacks fans expect? As a corresponding move, will the team send out Garrett Hampson or Tim Tawa?

We also discuss Kendall Graveman's likely return to the bullpen in advance of Monday's opener against the San Francisco Giants. Is Drey Jameson being called up, too?

Corbin Burnes was everything the Diamondbacks could have hoped for in his return from shoulder trouble, tossing seven scoreless innings against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 3-0 D-backs win. Eugenio Suárez added a 455-foot homer, and Corbin Carroll and Pavin Smith contributed offensively. We discuss Burnes' stellar performance and how it affects our view of him moving forward.

We also discuss Eduardo Rodriguez's horrendous outing on Friday night. How concerned should fans be? And is Brandon Pfaadt well on his way to a breakout 2025 season?

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?
