Mistakes piled up on Friday night as the Diamondbacks opened the second half with perhaps their most frustrating loss of the season. We dive in to the key moments from the game.

Why did Torey Lovullo go to Paul Sewald in a tie game? Why didn't Ketel Marte challenge the final pitch of the game? What's up with the offense continuing to struggle with runners in scoring position?

We also discuss a long list of injury updates, including Zac Gallen seeking a second opinion on his elbow from renowned surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Is it possible that Gallen is out for the season?

D-backs Stumble Out of Break with Sloppy Loss + Zac Gallen to Visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache

With the backdrop of a heavily taxed Diamondbacks bullpen, Eduardo Rodriguez delivered perhaps his best start of the season and helped the D-backs win a huge series over the Pittsburgh Pirates. How does E-Rod keep doing this? We also discuss Gabriel Moreno's big swing that gave the D-backs their lead.

Meanwhile, Paul Sewald is officially no longer the Diamondbacks closer after another clunker on Tuesday in which he allowed three runs and blew the save. What is the plan for the closing role moving forward?

We finish with some injury updates and the latest trade deadline buzz with the deadline just five days away. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the Arizona Diamondbacks podcast in the Foul Territory network.

The Diamondbacks lost back-to-back games to the Washington Nationals over the weekend, dropping the series and the season series in the process. We dive in to our top takeaways. What went wrong for D-backs pitching? Is it time to be concerned about the bullpen?

We also talk about a couple of rough Ketel Marte at-bats, and how they are indicative of a troubling trend for him in 2026. What will it take for Marte to get back on track? Finally, we discuss a list of 10 potential rental trade targets, including 5 starting pitchers and 5 position players. Could any of them be game-changers for the D-backs down the stretch?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/2a731058-f5b6-4ec3-b4de-b49400099df4/transcript

The Diamondbacks stayed red hot on Friday night with a road win over the Washington Nationals. Eduardo Rodriguez made big pitches when he needed to, and Gabriel Moreno continued his two-plus-month run as one of the best hitters in baseball. We give E-Rod and Gabi their flowers and discuss our takeaways from the game.

We also take a look at the latest wild card standings and dive in to general manager Mike Hazen's comments on the upcoming trade deadline. Is pitching now a bigger priority than a middle-of-the-order bat? Could the D-backs exceed the first competitive balance tax threshold?
