The D-backs upset two division winners before rallying to dethrone the reigning NL champs. Here's how Arizona went from No. 6 seed to World Series participant.
But this is baseball. And this is the postseason. And when the calendar flips to October, using logic and reason to predict what is going to happen often turns out to be a useless endeavor — like making a sign with proper grammar or full-sentence construction. Who needs it?"SNAKES ALIVE." You get the point.It turned out the Snakes were more than just alive. They weren't just hanging around for the heck of it. They were on a mission.
While the youth infusion has played a massive role in Arizona's success in both the regular season and playoffs, this team would not be celebrating a pennant if not for its longest-tenured player and star second baseman. To see Marte shine after all the ups and downs with the organization since its last playoff appearance in 2017 has been a particular treat to watch.
Lovullo has consistently played matchups late in games either with pinch-hitters or with deploying that trustworthy relief corps, even sometimes earlier than the casual fan would like. Thus far, it's tough to argue with the results. The seventh-year skipper has done a great job of being flexible based on what his players are telling him, while also remaining committed to organizational strategies on a game-to-game basis. Everyone seems to be on the same page.
