How the Diamondbacks STOLE a World Series Trip

The Arizona Diamondbacks were DEAD heading into Game 3 of the NLCS against the Philadelphia Phillies, until a group of the most unlikely heroes stepped up and brought the DBacks to the World Series
How a ragtag trio of Ryan Thompson, Kevin Ginkel, and Paul Sewald dominated one of the greatest offenses in Major League Baseball History!

Props to Torrey and his revamped bullpen not to mention, every Rookie on that wild card Diamondbacks team

DBacks blew probably 15 games due to their horrible bullpen before it got revamped. That's part of their 84 win record and why they are playing better than that.

@DEXD72472 8 ай бұрын

Regardless of the games we blew, we had just enough space to clinch a playoff spot where just about everyone is playing to almost full potential

Huge Phillies fan, but I seriously hand it to the Dbacks. They completely crushed Philly momentum. Such a shame, but even if the Phillies won I’d rather be watching Phillies vs Astro’s again. Always next year

Not a Philly or Snake Fan, just a Big Baseball Fan. Very good video report with excellent insight. However, the pithing Diamondback turn around occurred after game five. That's how long it took the Diamondbacks to STOP throwing Fastballs to Schwarber, Harper, Turner and Castellanos. All are DEAD RED Fastball hitters. Throw them a Fastball in the strike zone and it's going to get CRUSHED! Conversely, throw them Off Speed Breaking Stuff and Sliders away. They turn into WIFFERS. Worse than that, the Phillies were a ONE TRICK PONY offense, Homerun or Bust. Good hitting teams have a plan B attack when Homeruns are scarce. It's called playing LITTLE BALL. The Diamondback could play it, the Phillies could NOT. Once again, the Analytics of the Superior Homerun attack LOST in a post season series. All because SMART Pitching always Trumps the Homerun attack.

Harper and Turner both have positive career numbers against ALL pitch types. Schwarber doesn't fair well against sliders. Castellanos is the only real dead red fastball hitter as he only performs well against fastballs and curveballs

Going into the season they also robbed the Blue Jays of Moreno and Gurriel for Varsho. Every move the Diamondbacks have made looks like pure genius. Even with Longoria not really performing, it was smart to have a vet there.

Mariners fan here, can’t even begin to tell you how frustrated I was when I saw we traded Sewald. He’d been phenomenal for us. I assume the front office was betting that he probably doesn’t have many more good years left, so we wanted to trade him while his value was still high (coming off of back to back sub 3 ERA seasons). One of the most underrated relievers in the MLB over the last two seasons.

The most insane thing about this Diamondbacks bullpen is only 4 relievers in the WS roster were here for the whole year barring injury Kyle Nelson Joe Mantiply Miguel Castro The other 6 were either sent down at one point(Frias, Ginkel, Ryne Nelson), weren't called up until late(Saalfrank), or a late acquisition(Thompson, Sewald). This bullpen has taken huge strides, this team isn't even in the playoffs without them mopping up and stabilizing every Ryne Nelson & Zach Davies clunker. Perfect example is that 13 inning marathon against the Cubs where the bullpen put up nine scoreless innings(earned runs of course). They pitched a Complete Game shutout in that game, and the team doesn't win without them. It definitely takes a lot of pressure off of guys like Brandon Pfaadt who know they're in good hands if they struggle a little bit, like in Game 1 of the WC.

What I saw in games 6 and 7 were the Diamondbacks giving nothing to hit for Harper or any of the big sluggers. They pitched around them. And the other hitters for the Phillies just couldnt make up for it. Thus the difference in the series. The Dbacks can score in every way and not just rely on home runs

@@axe2grind244 I’m not sure what you are saying. You can’t just put teams in the playoffs or even the World Series based on who you think people want to see. The regular season doesn’t matter beyond doing well enough to make the playoffs. Teams don’t play to see who wins the most regular seasons games. Teams play to see who wins the most post season games. A managers job is to get the team to the playoffs and have players ready to go.
