But before we get to that, a mystery. Several D-backs personalities appear to have followed Daniel Hudson and deleted their accounts - which is definitely odd. Steve Berthiaume (@BertDbacks) and Greg Schulte (@GubnuhDbacks) are no longer part of the Twitter. However, other commentators, such as Tom Candiotti, Mike Ferrin and radio producer Leo Gilmartin are all still perfectly, active, so it doesn't appear to have been a broad-based edict from above. From what I can see, Steve's last Tweet was round about July 6, but it's hard to be sure. Maybe it's a social media version of that whole polo-shirt thing? Certainly odd, given how active Berthiaume was there. Anyway...
Tweet of the Week (and season, probably)
During the horrendous 16-2 pounding on Sunday, which was probably the low point of the season so far, the D-backs Twitter feed quietly went dark after posting this....

@BMcCarthy32 OK, you got me to be edgier with my tweets & give up my power balance wristband, but I'm not doing nipple tweets.

My mom can't watch these @Mets games because of the snakes on the @Dbacks jerseys since she's deathly afraid of snakes.

The Games in Diamondbacks Tweets
Diamomdbacks 5, Mets 3
Film references are always likely to be appreciated here. This game brought us a pair, I think both stemming from the same incident, Paul Goldschmidt'd home-run.
Can we call him Goldzilla just for that HR? 2-1 #Dbacks pic.twitter.com/ZiXPsjLqEh

Diamomdbacks 3, Mets 2
Well. The top of the 1st of this Mets-DBacks game should be put in a time capsule and launched into deep space.

@MetsBooth Good News! With a 9 run lead Dbacks will no doubt shut down their running game. #Mercy

@keithlaw Sure. It worked out okay, just a homer shy of the cycle. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/61PSaKYSHT

LOLLawLOL
Diamomdbacks 4, Red Sox 9
I'd add Boston to the cities with exaggerated histrionics about the D-Backs uniforms, but they can't see them cause they're behind a piller

@AZSnakepit 10.0 on the second attempt though.

Bradley striking out Ortiz on three pitches was boneriffic

Pitching for the first time in the park he used to go to as a kid, @Mr_Hath strikes out the only batter he faces.

I cared not one iota about @TimTebow as a football player. But man, now he wants to play baseball? Well, good for him. Baseball's fun.
