“The only true franchise that actually wins chips,” @CactusSunnnn wrote back.
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen leaves the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the sixth inning at Chase Field in Phoenix, on May 28, 2025.
Many Arizona sports fans have expressed their disappointment with the three teams, most notably in the D-backs for its performance over the past month.
The D-backs have gone 2-7 in its last nine games, losing series to the Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
