    With his physique, I just don't understand why he is lacking in the power department, especially as he was somewhat a threat last year?

    They said he’s now rolling over his swing which is leading to ground balls and his fear of striking out from outside sliders makes him late on fastballs which he used to feast on

    Are you kidding me? The DBacks are gonna face the Rangers in the WS? Just hand the trophy over to Texas now.

    I'm torn, we arrived here in the valley right after AZ won the 2001 WS so they're my 2nd team and I want them to win but I don't see them taking down TX but it is baseball so.....I was really hoping we would face them so I could catch a WS game here.

    Watching Arizona hold their own against Philly reinforces how sh1tty the Astros performed in games 6 and 7.

    Phillies can lose but at least it's close. Astros got their ass whooped.

    Pathetic outcome by Houston.

    Well, anyone can get hot or cold at any time, but this is frustrating.
    As long as the Rangers don't win I'll be fine, but everything is just SO frustrating.

    That's what we thought facing the Nationals in 2019 and 88 win Braves in 2021.

    Yeah, they mowed through the Brewers, LA and Phillies (assuming they win). From what I’ve seen, they have a very underrated bullpen. It’s deep.

    Whoever wins against the brewers goes on to win the WS so let’s hope it holds true for the dbacks but this is an embarrassment for Philly

    someone should pull up the stats but whichever team won their CS under TBS have won the WS for the last 4 yrs or something like that.

    with the exception of 2020.

    2018 ALCS TBS (Boston)
    2019 NLCS TBS (Nationals)
    2020 NLCS FOX (Doyers)
    2021 NLCS TBS (Braves)
    2022 ALCS TBS (Astros)
