The Diamondbacks' reunion with Zac Gallen has hit a new low, as fans boo him off the field. This comes as no surprise, given Gallen's recent performance. With a major league-worst ERA of 6.10 in 16 starts, Gallen's struggles have been well-documented. The situation is particularly ironic, as Gallen was once a franchise staple, beloved by fans for his efforts in the World Series. However, his recent performance has been a far cry from that glory. The boos from the home crowd reflect the fans' dissatisfaction, as Gallen's ERA is a half-run worse than it was a year ago, when it was already considered a disaster. Gallen himself acknowledges the frustration, stating that the players are probably the most unsatisfied with themselves. The Diamondbacks' decision to bring back Gallen was seen as a risky move, and so far, it has not paid off. With a 6-10 record in his starts, Gallen's struggles have contributed to the team's overall poor performance. The situation is made worse by the team's lack of depth in the rotation. With several key pitchers on the injured list, including Corbin Burnes, Ryne Nelson, and Michael Soroka, the Diamondbacks are in a tough spot. The team's reliance on Gallen, Merrill Kelly, and Eduardo Rodriguez is now more pronounced than ever. The situation is further complicated by the team's recent struggles to limit runs, whether it's Gallen getting crushed or simply punished for not missing more bats. The Diamondbacks' rotation is in a state of flux, and the team's ability to turn things around is uncertain. The fans' boos serve as a stark reminder of the pressure on the team to perform. As the season progresses, the Diamondbacks will need to find solutions to their rotation problems quickly. The team's future depends on it, and the fans are watching closely. The recent game against the Twins highlights the team's struggles, with Gallen allowing 12 hits and nine earned runs in just four frames. The Twins' ability to nickel and dime Gallen, placing bloopers and grounders where the defense could not save him, further emphasized the team's weaknesses. The Diamondbacks' poor performance has also impacted their attendance, with only 30,575 fans turning out for the game. The team's struggles have raised questions about their ability to turn things around and regain the confidence of their fans. The Diamondbacks' reunion with Gallen has not gone as planned, and the team will need to make significant improvements to their rotation if they want to turn things around. The fans' boos serve as a wake-up call, reminding the team of the importance of their performance and the need to step up and provide stability in the rotation. The Diamondbacks' future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: they will need to find solutions to their rotation problems quickly if they want to turn things around and regain their place as a competitive team.
