It looked like they had a chance to win game 1 - the Giants squandered a lot of scoring opportunities early on and I thought it might be the Diamondbacks' night, but alas....

This team is just horrible. 7-0 lead and they blow it with a grand slam...

I've refused to watch this team this year. It started by them settling by keeping the entire coaching staff intact and doing nothing to change the trajectory of Torey getting worse every year. They've become complacent and the record finally caught up to them.
Torey's constant changing of batting orders and rotating players around doesn't give players an opportunity to get in a groove. Many times we've seen it where a player is heating up and then gets benched or moved around the lineup.

It doesn't matter the order of the line-up, most of the players don't have the talent to be in the majors.
The front office is horrible. Do you guys remember this guy?

Of course they gave up on him way too early.

No doubt. The problem starts at the top. But if they don't seem to care or invest into real talent. Then why should I invest time into the team.

Who knows. Maybe if they suck enough, they can use it as an excuse to move to Vegas.

As I recall Gallen had forearm issues? I never say this but I am not sure I wouldn't have shut him down for the year given the putrid excrement team this is.

Not saying I would have shut him down but I think I would have given it serious consideration. Last thing we need is to top off this season with the best pitcher on the team aggravating the injury or even making it worse.

Man this is just getting unreal. Is it a good sign when you're in the middle of June and you know your favorite baseball team has just as much of a chance to play in the Super Bowl as it does in the World Series?

Wonder how many DBacks’ fans are hoping for a loss today just to set some kind of record this year. (Or for changes to be made).

I guess if one is going to do something, may as well set the record.
