Give me Arizona and we'll live with what happens. They were almost a .500 team.

These dback jerseys are heinous
Corbin Carroll is the Diamondbacks version of Yordan. Not nearly as scary.
Not sure I'd rely on season stats for this matchup. Playoffs are a different animal.
Hottest team in baseball from Aug15th forward. And it's showing.

I'd say that's Marte. He beat us at least once.
Well, I knew enough that Sborz was always my guy.Proposition Joe said:
You gotta learn everyone's roles... I'm the guy that's always overly-critical, DallasAg is the guy that doesn't understand stats but likes to pretend he does, JWinTx is the "totally not an Astros fan" Astros fan, and Grapesoda always thinks the sky is falling.
I also seem to recall a dispute on whether we had enough Rotation pieces to win a Championship, yet here we are.
PostSeason Starting Pitching:
1.93 Philly
3.04 Minn
3.57 DBacks
3.62 Rangers
5.11 Astros <- I think their rotational pieces did exactly what I predicted.
5.14 BJays
6.04 Braves
6.43 Marlins
7.20 Rays
8.00 Brewers
14.63 O's
25.07 Dodgers
Arizona coming to Arlington Friday night for the World Series!
There's those trashy Philly boo birds. That city is garbage
Deleting as it unfairly targets someone.
let the hate begin

This is so spot on. Well done
Let's go!

Heim needs to start icing his arm down. Diamondbacks are gonna run non-stop.

Don't let 'em on first

Who do we want Dbacks or Phillies?
Phillies please. My wife is a huge D Backs fan and we live in Tempe, so I couldn't watch the games at my house or at any bar.
Our marriage would be tested, to say the least. We barely survived the Mavs-Suns series of 2021.
T&Ps for my marriage…
For those interested in making the trip, WS tickets in Arizona will be cheaaaaap.

Probably cheaper to buy a flight, hotel and tickets than to buy Rangers home tickets on SeatGeek. I'm actually considering it.
It's crazy how the Arizona Diamondbacks finished 84-78 for the last playoff spot, but they won the NLCS for the first time since 2001.
I think more like our Evan Carter.Grapesoda2525 said:

Arizona is hot
Can't give them free passes. They're going to do everything they can to run on us.
Most teams are that reach the World Series. We're a better team. No excuses to not win the damn thing this year.
This team cannot be underestimated
It's only a 15hr drive.
I don't know about day-tripping it, but oneway... couple stops to refuel.

Yep pitching vs hitting
Carroll and Marte and lethal

Buddy of mine in PHX just bought game 3 tickets at 1700 per ticket. Maybe he wanted really good seats

Could hit up a dispensary in AZ while you're at it. Arizona is 1 of the 22 states with modern drug laws.DallasAg 94 said:

The few Philly fans that stayed for the trophy presentation are showing out their booing skills to the dbacks. What a weird fan base.

Sounds familiar
The Rangers will have a serious paper edge in this one, but don't get overconfident. Texas had a serious edge in SF in '10 and got torched.
The one thing Texas will have that AZ hasn't seen is a top-to-bottom lineup. You heard the broadcasters talk about it the whole series: if you get through the Top 3 in the Phillies order, you can deal with the rest. That won't be the case against Texas.
This could either go the way of 2010 or 2007.
Gonna be a grinder where you'll have to do the little things to pull out games.

Crazy that both the DBacks and Rangers both lost 100+ games just 2 years ago and now are both in the World Series.
Glad we don't have to play in Philly and have to see all those ugly long haired players in cold weather. Arizona shutdown the Phillies offense but hopefully the Ranger's lineup will be too much for them.
