The Diamondbacks defeated the Phillies on Tuesday night to complete an unlikely NLCS comeback, overcoming an 0-2 deficit to make their second World Series in franchise history. At various points in the postseason, it seemed that no one gave Arizona a chance of reaching this far, making the accomplishment even more sweet.
After celebrating the NL pennant, the Diamondbacks made sure to push back on all their critics throughout the NLCS. While Chris “Mad Dog” Russo made headlines with his vow to retire from radio should the D-Backs upset the Phillies, there were more doubters for the team to use as motivation.
On social media, Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen and closer Paul Sewald responded to many of their critics, mainly Phillies fans, who either talked trash at Arizona or confidently predicted a Philadelphia victory.
