MLB fans troll Madison Bumgarner after a night to forget for Diamondbacks pitcher: "Mad bum not gonna last long huh"

Madison Bumgarner, a left-handed pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, had a rough outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night. He gave up five runs in just four innings, including a grand slam to Dodgers outfielder Trayce Thompson, as the Diamondbacks went on to lose 10-1. Unfortunately, Bumgarner's poor performance did not go unnoticed by fans on social media.

They took to Twitter to share their opinions on Bumgarner's performance. Some expressed concern about his future with the Diamondbacks, questioning whether he was worth the money the team paid him. Others were more blunt, using the opportunity to troll the pitcher and make fun of him for his struggles.

While it's no secret that Madison Bumgarner has struggled since signing a five-year, $85 million contract with the Diamondbacks in 2020, it's important to remember that he's a four-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion. He has also been one of the most dominant pitchers in the game, including throwing a complete game shutout in the 2014 World Series and being named the Most Valuable Player of the series.

While it's understandable that fans are frustrated with Bumgarner's recent struggles, it's important to remember that baseball is a team sport and that no player is solely responsible for a team's success or failure. Bumgarner is certainly not the only Diamondbacks player who has struggled this season, so it's unfair to place all the blame on him.

However, fans on Twitter were ruthless in their criticism. One tweeted:

"Mad bum not gonna last long huh."

Another wrote:

"Drey needs to take BUMs rotation spot. We’ve seen enough in Arizona."

Can Madison Bumgarner turn things around this year?

It's no secret that Madison Bumgarner's performances have consistently declined since joining the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2020. Many were hoping that 2023 would be a turnaround season for the veteran, but it seems unlikely that will happen.

Bumgarner is still a valuable asset to the Diamondbacks, even if he's not pitching at an elite level. He's a veteran presence in the clubhouse and can help mentor younger players on the team. He also has a proven track record of success in the MLB, and there's no reason to believe that he can't turn things around and help the Diamondbacks win games.
