A beach would be nice.

BREAK OFF ALREADY!

Just drive out to San Diego FFS.

Harper sucks as a defensive first baseman.

Whatever happened to those fast games we had during the season?

 

[Iggloo]

I kind of like Ranger Suarez in this game 7 situation. He is just a composed guy. Nothing particularly flashy about his game but he's tough.

Premium ad revenue during the postseason?
More camera angles and stats to go through, study and dissect?

Congratulations on making the WS.
Just don't expect Texas to overlook Arizona like the Dodgers and Phillies did.
That said, Arizona will need to bring their A-game if they want to make it past five games.

Congrats, Diamondbacks. Prepare to get thrashed by Texas

Rangers will be heavily favored, and rightfully so. Bochy wants that 4th championship ring.

That’s my generation’s ‘64 Phillies collapse. My dad still talks about it. Google it. This has to be up there with one of the biggest Philly sports collapses in my lifetime. The sad part is that I need to let it sit for me to really place it on the pain level. The worst part is that I have like 18-20 legitimate candidates for the top 10 list.

This one starts in Game 4 for me when Topper goes to Sanchez with one out and runner on 2nd in the 3rd down 1-0. He projects panic when it didn’t need to be. All year they can hit with so many outs left to play. He put that shit out into the world haha.

When he creates a bull pen game he guarantees that you’re going to have to use Kimbrel the day after he got beat up. He was leaking oil since the All Star break. His pen wasn’t as deep as he thought it was.

But the Phillies are built to hit. They’ve been a streaky team with lengthy slides and lengthy moments of being hot. I’ve said too much without giving credit to the Diamondbacks. They were great. They used the over aggression of Phillies big hitters against them. They changed their whole approach to the lineup in Game 3. Tip of the cap to them. They have bullpen and timely hitting. Their starters can be nasty as well though the Phillies went 3-1 vs their top guys. I’m back. The Phils lost this series while going 3-1 in Gallen/Kelly starts. Everybody deals with their team’s falling short. How often do you have to swallow something like that. They have no starters depth and they win all 3 of those games!!!

@DJ hope you know I was just messing with ya today. This is on the guys who are paid millions puckering in a big spot. I’m in the moment but this is baseball where you fail 7 of 10 times they remember you forever. This team has come through a ton of the last two seasons and this time they didn’t. They got a little complacent and like a Greek tragedy the hubris had to cut a bitch.

It's on!

Kudos, DBacks.



Good Luck in the WS.

Both CS' went 7 games.
I hope this fall classic does too.

Gm 1 is on Friday @ Texas.

It was a crazy post season for the Dbacks. They weren't supposed to be here. Pretty stocked. It took 22 years but they finally are back in it.

They will but as a Giants fan I can assure you that means nothing.

Not heavily favored though, Rangers won 90 not 100. Shaky bullpen. The Gallen/Kelly 1-2 punch. Favored but not by much.

That was our story last year as the #6 seed.
Best of luck to you.
