1. Heads need to roll

2. Now Marte can have more days off !!!

3. Ken Kendrick took a blow torch to Jordan Montgomery and rightfully so but hopefully he continues to invest in this team. This team ain’t far away. Fix the pitching which plagued them all season and re-sign some of the position players and they’ll be back in contention in 2025.

4. Ken is looking forward to Utah in 2027

5. Fix the AC for your great fans

6. Arizona fans: even though we didn’t make it this year, keep supporting this team!! let’s make sure management knows we back this team so that they continue to invest in it

7. This guy is complaining about the season coming down to a double header under the guise of caring about the health of the ATL and NYM players? That’s not what he cares about. He’s butt hurt because his team tanked and he had to depend on another team for his team to make the playoffs. AZ had a 7 game lead in the NLWC and blew it. Plain and simple. They played themselves right out of the post season. They also paid $50 to three pitchers who made very little contribution to the team. Montgomery was an expensive one year disaster. Lovullo plays around entirely too much with the pitching. Puk was untouchable until the last game of the year and Lovullo barely used him. On the other hand, he kept running Sewald out there for about 6 weeks too long. They also had kids from Triple A who were outplaying the Big League guys but of course because the Big League guys are getting paid, they’re going to get played. The team wasn’t managed well from the top down in the last few months. They had bags packed and planes at the ready? That would have made a whole lot more sense if they hadn’t blown games in CO and MIL. Can’t lose 5 of last 7 and expect much more. Just my .02.

8. Well now that the Arizona Diamondbacks season has finally come to an end it's time to focus on the Arizona Cardinals, yeah right ‼️ now it's time for the Phoenix Suns to take us to the promised Land ‼️👊🏽

9. Ken Kendrick’s is running Montgomery out of town so he can spend money on this team is very bold and shows his commitment to winning.

10. They got screwed because this terrible commish wants to make baseball a clone of the NFL. He's completely ruined the game. The diamondbacks should absolutely have the opportunity to play a one game playoff since they are tied for the last seed. Also, imagine how awesome this would have been had they not have expanded the playoffs like idiots!! 3 teams tied for the only wild card spot! That would have been so fun!! But now we get this lack luster b.s.

11. We shit the bed & MLB shit the bed with scheduling. BOTH things can be correct

12. LFGM

13. Great question????

14. Overall pitching and starting pitching was the Dbacks extreme weakness.

15. Man, it's definitely time for Torey to go, let's get a new manager !

16. I'd really hate to be Jordan Montgomery after this interview.

17. Arizona had a 12-13 record in September. Had a 2-5 record in the last 7 games. Blew an 8-0 lead on September 22nd. Yep sure! Blame it on the scheduling. Lmfao!

18. Kendrick looks like Uncle Benni from Lethal Weapon 4

    "It's fried rice, YOU PRICK!"

19. Well if you look at the Diamondbacks history we just had our two great years and now it's time to go spend the next seven at the bottom with the Rockies
