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?

With Zac Gallen set to make his fourth consecutive Opening Day start for the Diamondbacks, how will the team's remaining starting pitchers line up after him? We investigate possible scenarios, and look back on Gallen's past Opening Day starts in Arizona.

Meanwhile, Corbin Carroll played in a Cactus League game, and we make our next attempt at projecting the Opening Day roster. Is the bench effectively decided at this point? How many spots are up for grabs in the bullpen? We discuss our thoughts on Drey Jameson, Andrew Hoffmann, Kade Strowd and other relievers who appear to be on the roster bubble.

Finally, with temperatures expected to reach triple digits next week, how are the Diamondbacks preparing? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

It's been a rough few years for the Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar, but are his stellar spring training numbers a sign of good things to come? We discuss Lawlar's Cactus League performance on both sides of the ball.

We also discuss the latest on the World Baseball Classic — with Team USA now in a precarious position after losing to Team Italy — and injury updates on Corbin Carroll and Merrill Kelly.
