Snakes Territory: An Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

The Diamondbacks finished a very eventful road trip with what felt like an enormous win over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. With Ketel Marte out, Jose Fernandez, Nolan Arenado, Gabriel Moreno and others stepped up to help the D-backs to a 7-6 win in 10 innings.
Meanwhile, the Marte saga continues to unfold as Marte's agent released a statement and general manager Mike Hazen spoke on the issue on Arizona Sports. What else do we know, and what should we expect from here?
Finally, we discuss Merrill Kelly's continued struggles and look ahead to another big three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds this weekend. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory Network.

Monday evening was a downer for the Diamondbacks to say the least. Not only did they lose to the Boston Red Sox 11-1, but their star second baseman did not show up for the game and the team reportedly does not know where he is. We dive in to Torey Lovullo's postgame comments about Marte landing on the restricted list, and the course of events that led to it. Could Ketel miss significant time?
Meanwhile, Mitch Bratt struggled to find the zone and Zack Littell got lit up in a forgettable game at Fenway Park. We discuss what went wrong for Bratt, including a downward trend in velocity. We also discuss a lackluster night for an offense that managed only four hits.
Finally, we dive in to the team's remaining Monday roster moves, including reinstation Jordan Lawlar and Justin Martinez from the injured list. Plus, Nolan Arenado avoids the injured list.

The Diamondbacks took two of three from the Atlanta Braves over the weekend, but they might have lost their starting third baseman in the process. Nolan Arenado left midway through Sunday's game with what was initially described as left trunk discomfort. If Arenado were to miss time, who could get step in at third base?
Meanwhile, we discuss the D-backs making an ill-advised decision to pitch to Matt Olson in a 3-0 count on Sunday. We also revisit Friday and Saturday's wins, giving both Brandon Pfaadt and Eduardo Rodriguez much-deserved props.
Finally, we look ahead to the Red Sox series and look ahead to what could be a busy week of roster moves. How will the D-backs make room for Justin Martinez and Jordan Lawlar when they return from injury?
