@CalltoActivism @Timodc Oh my. Take him home, it’s bedtime.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

Remember, 57% (and rapidly increasing) of X posts are created by non-humans. Social media has become a vessel for political & corporate manipulation of human thinking. Most of those humorous & satisfying posted videos are AI created. Enjoy but beware. https://t.co/PV4EcSQqer

When all is said & done, Corbin Carroll will be the greatest position player in D-backs history. He’s a class act.

[Arizona Diamondbacks @Dbacks]

You're seeing double.

In 1966, Barry Goldwater told William F. Buckley Jr. that his greatest fear as a conservative was a president who would use the powers of the office to destroy everyone who disagreed with him.

@GoldyHappens In Reno, prospect Waldschmidt (who’s now playing CF) got hit by a pitch on the helmet Tuesday & left the game. But he returned last night & went 2 for 5. He should be playing CF daily for the D-backs - with Thomas or Barossa released.

What’s the delay?

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@GoldyHappens Oh my.

It’s time for @Dbacks to call up Waldschmidt (CF/LF starter) & lefty pitcher Bratt (SP/RP) from Reno. Bratt’s control is superb. Kohl Drake not ready.

Release Santana immediately. And release (trade if possible) Alec Thomas now. Keep Barrosa until Lawlar returns.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@GoldyHappens So true. I respect @nickpiecoro - he’s an excellent beat writer that doesn’t shy away from pointing out @Dbacks weaknesses as well as strengths. On the other hand, @SteveGilbertMLB seldom says a bad word about the D-backs - supposedly because he works for the @MLB. That’s sad.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@GoldyHappens @Gambo987 Hey @GoldyHappens, don’t worry about it. @Gambo987 blocked me last week when I questioned if he might be an example of a local sports journalist that @Buster_ESPN criticized for consistently getting inside info in return for “bending the truth”. Gambo obviously has thin skin.

@peterbakernyt Iran & Ukraine (that successfully today attacked via drones key Russian oil facilities) have both proved that warfare has changed dramatically to the point that much smaller committed nations can maintain effective drone forces & keep Russia & the U.S. from successfully invading

@stephanie_murr BTW sports fans, Curt Schilling & Tom Chambers attended the Trump event. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@stephanie_murr As @stephanie_murr points out, 3,000 showed up for the TPUSA Arizona mega church event this past Friday. In the past Trump packed 10,000 into the facility. He & JD are speaking before two thirds empty arenas/churches. Their political clout diminishing by the day & hurts AZ GOP.

@CNN Matt Friend @themattfriend is the best impersonator today. The 27 yr old is very talented. I enjoyed the @CNN special. Please make it a regular offering - especially w/Colbert departing. My only criticism of the special was the audience. They were unresponsive to the humor.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@BarackObama 👏

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@PHXFansAZ Sadly, zero. But I’m rooting for the @Suns. I love underdogs.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@BNightengale Hope you are correct @BNightengale. Massive new TV & expansion monies down the road along with rising franchise values should get greedy @MLB owners to back off salary cap demands. Don’t foolishly wreck the 2026 MLB sports momentum with a 2027 lockout or fans will side w/players.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@JonHeyman @jareddiamond @miriamgottfried Felix Navidad @mlb owners.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@JeffPassan Per @Forbes, owner Ken Kendrick bought the @Dbacks in 2004 for $238 million. Today the rising D-backs franchise value is $2 BILLION. And they rank 19th in MLB.

The @MLB commissioner case for a crippling player lockout & the owners demand for a salary cap is increasingly weak.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

Thank you @Buster_ESPN for lifting the rock on so-called sports journalism. I often wonder about local AZ sports journalists who consistently get team “scoops” in return for not criticizing team management or “bending the truth”. Inside info 4 good PR. @SteveGilbertMLB @Gambo987

[Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN]

The conversation about reporters and quid pro quo and bending the truth for sources is important for the industry.

[Chris Herstam @AZisdamnhot]

@Jody_Jackson @alexjweiner Waldschmidt should be in left field. 40 yr old Santana should be released to make a spot for Waldschmidt on the 40 man roster. Fernandez is at 1B. Gurriel can DH when activated.

Still need a lefty in the pen. But the D-backs should be in contention all summer which will be fun!
