Talk:Arizona Diamondbacks/Archive 1

message: I have done major revisions to this page over the last 2-3 months and included a current events section similar to the Chicago Cubs page. I would appreciate some ideas on how best to update this section, or whether or not to even continue to have it, now that the regualr season is upon us.--Msr69er 08:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone keeps on vandalizing this article. He keeps on changing the logos to the old ones. Can someone warn the user that any edits like this are considered vandalism. Thank you. Ric36 17:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I qualified the "Anyone, Anytime" Motto as the Player motto, and the "The Future is Now" as the team's Marketing motto. --Ubersky 17:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Motto 

message: From the article: "While some fans applauded the redesign, most of the reaction to the new color scheme, which included dropping the historical purple and traditional Arizonan colors of copper and turquoise for a reddish color known as 'Sedona Red', has been pointedly negative." The only reference listed I saw that could back up the reaction is an undated, closed Internet poll from about.com. The poll results state 43% say "No, I like the colors that they have now", which can hardly be considered "most of the reaction." Rktur 01:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Rod Allen did the radio/television (mostly radio) broadcasts with Greg Schulte and Thom Brennaman during the first 5 seasons.  This isn't included on the page but should.  Allen is currently the television guy with the Detroit Tigers' broadcasts.
Also, Bob Brenly was one of the television broadcasters with Thom Brennaman for the first 3 seasons before being named manager before the 2001 season.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.126.100.82 (talk) 16:28, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Broadcasts/Communication 

message: The primary owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks is Ken Kendrick. There's absolutely no reason to include Jeffrey Royer, because according to the Diamondbacks, Kendrick is the organization's Managing General Partner, which means Kendrick is the team's designated representative at Major League Baseball (MLB)'s owner meetings. (my URL sources for that are found here, which lists the front office personnel and here–Kendrick's bio from the Diamondbacks). I don't know why User:Dbacksfan22 (talk) continually undoes my edits, but I am determined not to get into another edit-war, which would result in me being blocked from editing for an indefinite period of time. I am seeking consensus from other editors here. Feel free to chime in on this discussion, but there's no link for Jeffrey Royer, so in my opinion, Royer should not be included in the owner field of the infobox.

message: Is it about time that we update the team's uniforms? The Diamondbacks have already released their 2016 uniforms. I suggest that they should be updated to the article as soon as possible. MahuCG (talk) 17:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Roberto Alomar played for the D-backs in 2004 and his name should join Randy Johnson's as the team's former players in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Unlike the Big Unit, Robbie does not sport an Arizona cap on his plaque so his name should be in regular font instead of bold..  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quinlanaz (talk • contribs) 07:37, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

message: There is a correction that needs to be made. Recently, Tony La Russa was removed as Head of the Baseball Operations department and moved to an advisor/Chief analyst. Derrick Hall is the President and CEO of the Team and needs to be added to this section. Tony La Russa's official title, as of this week, is Chief Baseball Analyst/Advisor. The power he had over the last 2 years has been transferred back to the New GM: Mike Hazen. To give some creditability, check out a new article on the Dbacks Website and I am a current season ticket holder and have been following the DBacks for the last 19 years.
