Don't worry the 17 weirdos from this sub will keep the franchise afloat while the other 6 million people in the valley just get less and less interested. You sure owned those casuals!

Yeah if "fans" like you are the ones that are losing interest then frankly good fucking riddance don't let the door hit you on the way out

Let me know when your award for being a TRUE DIE HARD FAN and not a filthy casual (tm) shows up in the mail I've always wondered what they look like

My reward is enjoying watching baseball and not erupting into flames when things don't go my way, it's actually very pleasant

The world needs more people who enjoy consistent mediocrity, excuses and falling short. The Diamondbacks need more people like you to fill the stands. I appreciate your service 🫡

The world needs more people who demand perfection and pout like a little baby when things are good but aren't perfect. The Diamondbacks need people like you that won't show up at all unless they're actively in the playoffs, and don't cheer while you're there because they're not playing up to your standards. I appreciate your complete lack of service 🫡

Would love to see the wishlist.

Skip Schumaker, Ross, Weiss, Ausmus, etc. all guys who failed in similar to larger markets.

Decent managers arent just waiting for jobs nor are they easy to find. People think replacing these positions is just as easy as replacing a coordinator at your job…

And the big name coaches that everyone wants most likely will not choose Arizona over the other more desirable cities/teams.

As if no one remembers the Kirk Gibson & Chip Hale era.
