Snakes Territory: An Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

The Diamondbacks cruised to a 9-3 win over the Dodgers on Friday behind a huge day from Tim Tawa, another stellar outing from Eduardo Rodriguez and a whole lot of Dodgers miscues. We break down Tawa's statement game at first base and revisit the decision to bring him back to the majors.
We also discuss Mike Hazen's recent comments on the Diamondbacks' first base search. Is the team seeking external help? What options are out there?
Finally, we give the latest injury updates on Michael Soroka, Corbin Burnes and others. Can Soroka make it back before the trade deadline? How might that affect the team's plans? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers for this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory.

The Diamondbacks salvaged a series split against the San Diego Padres behind a stellar outing from Merrill Kelly and just enough from the offense, including a solo home run by Nolan Arenado. What worked for Kelly in the win?
We also react live to the news that the D-backs designated Pavin Smith for assignment and recalled Ryan Waldschmidt from Triple-A Reno. How will we remember Smith's complicated D-backs tenure, and what's the plan at first base moving forward?
Finally, we discuss Torey Lovullo's job security as the team sits in a precarious position in the NL wild card race. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

The Diamondbacks made it close but ultimately dropped their series to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, losing the finale, 3-2. Eduardo Rodriguez was stellar yet again, but the offense stranded too many baserunners — and perhaps got a little unlucky in the process. We discuss our takeaways and revisit several key moments from the weekend.
Looking ahead to the trade deadline, we also discuss Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers as a potential target for the Diamondbacks. What makes Detmers attractive, and what would it take to get the deal done?
Finally, we discuss the D-backs' latest round of roster moves, our expectations for the upcoming Padres series and more. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona D-backs show in the Foul Territory Network.

The Diamondbacks lost their final game to the San Francisco Giants, and Zac Gallen struggled once again. Will the D-backs change how they use Gallen moving forward?
We also dive in to a plethora of mailbag questions. Is Pavin Smith running out of time, and why has the team had so much patience with him? How secure are Torey Lovullo and Mike Hazen's jobs? How does the Blaze Alexander trade look in retrospect?
Plus, we preview the upcoming series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory Network.

The Diamondbacks continued their dominance of the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday with an 8-2 win. Ketel Marte homered for a fourth consecutive game, Brandon Pfaadt threw well in his first start back in the majors and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. notched a pair of extra-base hits, including a three-run homer in the first inning. What were the keys to Pfaadt's success? Which other D-backs have homered in four consecutive games?
We also look back on Monday's game and Eduardo Rodriguez's continued dominance. Is E-Rod bound for the All-Star game? Plus, how big of a problem is the starting rotation's lack of swing-and-miss?
