    Arizona is a very good team, and I hope they kick the s*** out of the Rangers.

    Gallen and Kelly had good regular seasons (even though Philly got to the former twice). They have an underrated bullpen, which is deep. The next two in the rotation are question marks. Pfaadt has good stuff and a bright future, but always has a short leash. And I think they just go full bullpen game for the fourth rotation spot.
    Offensively, they have good (but admittedly, not elite) firepower with a steady balance of both youngsters and veterans.

    Arizona's miracle run continues.

    It will end vs Arlington for the simple fact... Houston doesn't benefit.

    We were a good matchup for the Nationals in 2019 and then game 7 happened. Arizona is playing with house money. Would be funny for the rangers to humbled again.

    Pitching always win. No interest cheering on either teams so no World Series this year.

    What a bitter end for Texas if they lose to AZ. Texas will be favored to win for the first time this post season and will face consistently good pitching with arguable the best pitching coach in baseball who knows how to expose weaknesses.

    Very mixed feelings.

    On one hand, misery loves company, so thank you Phillies for flubbing this in grand fashion.

    On the other hand, no way were we going to lose to Arizona in the World Series. Ouch.

    Never, never, never thought DBacks had any chance against the Phillies. Never. Isn't this the team that the Astros swept at the end of the season?

    No because AZ was the road team, the Astros were the home team down 0-2 in LCS. We would of made history not the D Back.
