"I was sitting behind home plate that game and when it showed up on the Diamondvision of stuffing bananas down their throats, I felt like we were a punching bag," Towers told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday. "Literally, if I would have had a carton of baseballs I would have fired them into the dugout from where I was sitting behind home plate."That's not who we are as Diamondbacks, that's not how -- I mean, it's a reflection on Gibby, on myself, on our entire organization. They slapped us around and we took it."Towers said that has to stop, and following the game he had "a few choice words for the (coaching) staff."Nothing changed."You'd think the GM comes down and makes it a point to talk to the staff about it that at we need to start protecting our own and doing things differently," he said. "Probably a week later Goldy gets dinged, and no retaliation. It's like 'wait a minute.'"Not that I don't take any of our guys from a lesser standpoint, but if Goldy's getting hit, it's an eye for an eye, somebody's going down or somebody's going to get jacknifed."

Article didn't mention Ian Kennedy hitting Puig in the head last year. Then again there was a rumor that IK was traded BECAUSE he was a headhunter and it was frowned upon.
Either way there's plenty of other hilarious and legit reasons to lol @ the dbacks.

dbacks not entirely bad
Five young men will don caps and gowns atop Diamondbacks uniforms on Friday morning in the Dominican Republic, where club officials will present them with high school diplomas.They represent the first graduating class in a program that's believed to be the first of its kind. For years, every major-league club has operated a Dominican academy where players as young as 16 begin their professional careers. The Diamondbacks' academy in Boca Chica is the first to also offer players a classroom education.

"It doesn't make sense to say I'm anti-analytics," La Russa said. "I was a preparation freak. When I came into managing, I had been a (poor) player. I had only managed a little bit in the minor leagues. The only way to survive was to collect as much information as I could."
