ARLINGTON, Texas — The Diamondbacks have been pretty busy, what with winning the pennant and traveling here for the World Series, which begins on Friday against the Rangers, but they have had enough time to check the TV listings, and they haven’t liked what they’ve seen.
Last week, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo promised on an episode of his MLB Network show, High Heat, that he would “retire on the spot” if the Diamondbacks won the National League Championship Series over the Phillies. Two days later, Arizona did just that.
And yet … “High Heat is still on,” says closer Paul Sewald.
