From this day forward, I will refer to the @Dbacks white uniforms as "the Dexter Collection." It looks like blood at the neck and ankles.

I blame Maricopa County Stadium District...

Dear @Dbacks - I love you. But please pick one uniform and stick with it. Its confusing which team you are when I tune in to watch. Thx, EB

Teal FTW. Literally.

2-0 in the teals.

The Games In Diamondback Tweets

Diamondbacks 11, Rockies 6

I'm having my mom send me snapchats from the dbacks game to take my mind off this yotes game.
— Chelsea Stedry (@chelseastedry) April 6, 2016

To explain this: The Coyotes were 5-0 down to the Blackhawks, 15 minutes into the second period.

If @TylerClippard get this win for the @Dbacks --- not his first at Chase Field. Winning pitcher of the 2011 All Star Game.

Trevor Story trying to error his way into my heart. It is working.

But then... Heel turn! [This is a crossover comment]

Keep it up, Trevor Story. You're getting a Roman Reigns level of heat with #Dbacks fans. (This is a crossover tweet.)

Addison Russell's bat goes flying into the stands and very nearly takes out Baxter, the Dbacks' mascot.

I'm afraid "very nearly" isn't good enough. Try harder, plz

We are on the field at Chase and surrounded by a swarm of bees and @Burnsy987 is scared
