Clearly all the #Dbacks walked through a pool of blood when leaving the clubhouse. These uni's are hideous.

The Rockies could go 0-162, and 2016 still would be a winning season with those new batting helmets.

D-Backs gotta fold the organization for these unis.

@RealGrumpyCat Are you always grumpy or is it just this inning?

Last year, it took Zack Greinke 30.2 innings to allow his first six runs. This year, it took him 3 innings. #DBacks

Admit it, you’re now running the lineup through your head, wondering how they can blow this.

— Chris Chrisman (@chrischrisman) April 5, 2016

Trevor Story is destined for greatness. Only legends like Mark Quinn and Bob Nieman have had 2 HR and 4 RBI in their major league debut

— Jeremy Deischer (@roxbombers) April 5, 2016

Ok, guys, redesign, whaddya got?
We’re thinking red and white.
But we’re already red and white.
Yes, but we put red in random places.
Sold.

Took a bit, but for openers, #Rockies above .500 with 10-5 win. Huge night at plate as everyone in lineup with at least a hit
