The Diamondbacks fell flat against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night, mustering only six hits and only one extra-base hit all night. Brandon Pfaadt looked alright through six innings, but he ultimately took the loss. The D-backs' offense struck out eight times against the Rockies' bullpen.
Meanwhile, a report from the Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro caused quite a stir among D-backs fans as players air grievances about D-backs star second baseman Ketel Marte. What is the right way to think about this story, why was it written and what does it mean for Marte's future in the organization?
Plus, the New York Mets are in free fall, potentially creating an opening for the Diamondbacks in the NL wild card race. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!
