D-backs fans among chillest about umpiring
According to a data sweep conducted by BetOnline.ag, which used a trends software and Twitter API, Arizona Diamondbacks fans tweet fewer complaints about umpires than any other fanbase. This graphic is based on Twitter data since the start of the season. BetOnline tracked negative tweets from each MLB fanbase about “umpires.” For example, all tweets tagging or mentioning a team, that also talk about umpires, and contain negative keywords such as cheat, cheating, horrible, awful, worst, screwed, paid, terrible, favoring, stupid, dumb, overturn, embarrassing, bad call, missed call, horrible call, terrible call, etc. This was repeated for each of the 30 franchises.
