Snakes Territory: An Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

Just as we all expected, Pavin Smith delivered a pinch-hit, walk-off home run against the Yankees on Saturday night to lead the Diamondbacks to a much-needed win and keep their dwindling postseason hopes alive. We discuss Smith's huge swing, and the many smaller wins throughout the game that helped set the table for it, including an enormous two-run triple from Jordan Lawlar in the fifth inning.
Where does the win leave the D-backs in the postseason race? Do they now have a better chance of catching the Phillies than the Padres? Does the Phillies' tough schedule give the D-backs a legitimate opportunity?
Finally, we discuss the Diamondbacks' 2001 World Series celebration ceremony, which brought a bunch of D-backs legends, including Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling, back to Chase Field. Plus, Dr. Jesse McGuire delivered one of the most impressive performances of the evening, singing the second half of the National Anthem after his trumpet malfunctioned.

For the second straight night, the Diamondbacks could not get the big hit against the Miami Marlins. How slim are their playoff chances following the series loss? Do they still have a path to pass the San Diego Padres?
We also discuss several big moments from the game, from stranding the bases loaded in the first inning to Jordan Lawlar being cut down at second to end the game. Should the D-backs have kept him at first with Ketel Marte at hte plate?
We also look ahead to the Yankees series and answer a few superchats. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory network.

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.
