The Upton Question
Justin Upton made his return to Chase Field over the weekend. How did the crowd react? For every preconceived opinion, we have a supporting Tweet from the objective members of the press!
Justin Upton getting booed by the #Dbacks fans. Didn't really expect that.
— Dave Zorn (@davezorn72) June 7, 2014
Mix of boos and cheers for Justin Upton in his first at-bat tonight. #Dbacks #Braves
— Adam Lichtenstein (@ALichtenstein24) June 7, 2014
Fans give ex-#Dbacks Upton a mixed reaction---more cheers---when introduced before his first plate appearance
— Craig Grialou (@CraigAZSports) June 7, 2014
But at the end of the series, the reaction was clear. Near-total apathy.
By the 3rd game of the series 1 fan cheered and 1 fan booed when Justin Upton came to the plate

The Games in Diamondback Tweets
[Just to keep things even, today's game will be included in next week's round-up!]
Diamondbacks 4, Rockies 2
#Dbacks video reviewer Allen Campbell definitely added to his Video Reviews Above Replacement score there in the second
— Ryan P. Morrison (@InsidetheZona) June 4, 2014
@placovara no no no, reed, hit dinger, not give UP dingers
— soco (@socosoco) June 4, 2014
Diamondbacks 16, Rockies 8
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that #Dbacks Josh Collmenter was lone starting pitcher today to read Nietzsche before his start.
— Steve Gilbert (@SteveGilbertMLB) June 5, 2014
Dear Dinger, I'm surprised you aren't behind home-plate to watch the end of this game tonight, what happened..? #Dbacks Win!!
— D. Baxter The Bobcat (@DbacksBaxter) June 5, 2014
Diamondbacks 12, Rockies 7
Things to do while watching #Rockies game: Head into outfield seats when #DBacks are up to have a chance at a souvenir.

Premonitory Tweet of the Week

Diamondbacks 2, Braves 5
It was Beach Night at Chase. A little awkward this happened to coincide with the whole "70th anniversary of D-Day" thing. But let's, er, soldier on regardless, shall we?
Yo, @Dbacks. "Honoraray"? CC @BertDbacks pic.twitter.com/rJZh2vg0uT

As one of the replies put it, "And THAT"s what you guys notice?"
This is one of the more ridiculous things I've see tonight, @DBacks. pic.twitter.com/6X9SoZW0SW

Diamondbacks 4, Braves 3
Guy next to me at the @dbacks games is wearing a George Washington wig and passed out drunk. His friends are starting to mess with him.

#Dbacks played "Midnight Train To Georgia" after Freddie takes Harang out....#slick
— Isiah Stewart (@icecoldstew) June 8, 2014
How about the Braves guy obnoxiously clapping/cheering the whole game says #Dbacks fans should calm down after that run.. HA good one bro
— Nikki M. (@VolcmStone23) June 8, 2014
Have to say, Cubs fans may be drunker, and Dodgers ones more roachlike - but for sheer obnoxiousness at Chase Field, in my opinion, Braves fans are hard to beat.
D-backs 3, Astros 4
The scorecard has lost the battle. #Astros #Evidence pic.twitter.com/YGxw9W8k5i

Upon further review, you really shouldn't run on Gerardo Parra. #Dbacks

@SteveGilbertMLB good luck with your postgame story on that one. Peter Jackson couldn't tell that story in less than 4 movies

@Mrs_McCarthy32 "thier"- yearbook staff had their shit together

.@Deadspin from Dirk Hayhurst? No thanks.

@Ken_Rosenthal @MLBNetwork there is nothing like walking into your own house and then sticking a fork in a light socket
— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) June 3, 2014
And finally: ending as we started.
D-Day pictures boggle my mind. How you could see and hear all of that in front of you and continue to move forward I'll never understand.
