Diamondbacks Post Sad Emojis as Mets, Braves Clinch Final Spots in 2024 MLB Playoffs

It was a tough day for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Their postseason fate was out of their hands heading into Monday when the doubleheader between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves took place. If either of those teams swept the other, then Arizona would be heading to Milwaukee for the Wild Card Round.

Instead, the worst-case scenario of the teams splitting wins occurred, leaving the Diamondbacks out of the postseason.

In reaction, the Arizona X account posted a series of sad emojis:

The social media account was active throughout the day, even showing support for the Mets after they won the first game and had a chance to eliminate the Braves in the second.

It wasn't all silly posts for the account following the day's result, though, as the D-backs also expressed appreciation for the fans who stuck with the team throughout the season.

This was the sixth time in seven seasons that they have missed out on the postseason. However, the World Series run last season softens the blow a little, and the current core forming around Corbin Carroll shows that the team is trending in the right direction.

Arizona finished the 2024 season with an 89-73 record. It's the franchise's highest win total since going 93-69 in 2017.
