Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald has become keeper of the receipts, reminding teammates of what they consider disrespect.
ARLINGTON, TX — Before opening the World Series, the Arizona Diamondbacks wanted to recount a series of slights.
"Maybe I found screenshots that maybe other people didn't," he said, wearing a T-shirt that proclaimed"Snakes Alive.""We took offense to that and we're excited that we're here and people are still not giving us that much credit here." "I just figured if they want to talk junk to me, I'll say one back," he said."And I feel like being from there, I knew how to hit them the hardest."
Texas hasn't won a title since the franchise started play as the expansion Washington Senators in 1961, and odds of a Diamondbacks-Rangers Series were 1,750 to 1 when wagering for the 2023 season opened. "You can't back out of that one, Mad Dog. You've got to do something," Lovullo said."I do like Howard Stern's thought about walking with a billboard saying that I am whatever, a liar ... in Midtown Manhattan for half a day. That will do it for me, but I ain't going to forgive you until you do something unbelievable, maybe show up here and say you're sorry to the entire team."Eovaldi is 4-0 in this postseason.
