The Arizona Diamondbacks and birds simply do not mix.
There are some key differences between the stories, even if the broad strokes of two top Diamondbacks pitchers killing birds in midair are already a wild coincidence. Johnson's incident was in spring training, Gallen's was before a regular season game. Johnson was actually on the mound, Gallen was throwing on flat ground. Johnson's pitch resulted in an explosion of feathers, Gallen's pitch was merely redirected as the bird was knocked to the ground whole.
The good news for Arizona is Johnson's incident was hardly a bad omen, even if the southpaw was reportedly bothered by the reaction at the time, saying"I didn't think it was all that funny" perJohnson's stance on the bird has clearly since softened as well. HeGallen entered the game with a strong season of his own, holding a 2.35 ERA, a 6-1 record, an NL-best 0.855 WHIP and 70 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings across nine starts.
