I truly feel that the Arizona Diamondbacks cheated death in prior series

The young inexperienced DBACKS just eliminated the mighty Phillies in a series that I was certain they would lose to the more experienced, confident , hard hitting Phillies.

There’s a moment in the PHI/DBACKS series where I truly felt that the DBACKS cheated death and may be a team of destiny.

Down 2-1 in the series, facing a 3-1 series deficit, Arizona was losing game four 5-2 entering the bottom of the 7th inning. I still don’t know how they won that game 6-5 and tied the series at 2-2.

Everything changed after that game.

Dbax live dog for the series but RANGERS take game 1.

I'm a little surprised at how so many people aren't giving the dbacks credit for beating Philly, cause that's what they did. 

Rather, everyone is saying that Philly beat themselves.

I don't think that is the right notion to have going into this series. 

Try and tell the dbacks that they don't deserve to be here. They don't care what anyone thinks.

Good Luck on the bet.

 Craig Kimbrel beat the Phillies 

@ActionMagnet

Well, they were flattened 6-1 in the next game. Then overconfidence on Philadelphia's part changed everything.

@Martylee

 Exactly, Thompson poor management of his bullpen 

Dbacks won for one reason and one reason alone

Rob Thomson

if Philly had a real manager, they likely win the WS

GL on your play tonight @ActionMagnet

 Almost everyone I have seen is picking Snakes? 

I don't know how many people are on what side and how many here at covers. Haven't looked at many threads.

But I have read enough to see the narrative that "Philly beat themselves", and no one giving the Snakes credit for beating the damn Philly's.

As far as I know(or think), I wouldn't expect any single player from the Diamondbacks to think to themselves right now..."you know, we're not good enough, the Philly's let us beat them".

 FWIW, 70% of the tickets are on the Rangers according to the action network. 

Don't use that as your only handicapping tool. I'll be passing on this game, but most definitely watching. 

this is it, 2 critical blown games,  that gave the hapless hopeless Arizona Cardinals a pulse and they rode with it.
