The Haters Guide to the 2023 World Series

NOTE: Skip to 9:42 if you want to avoid the playoff aftermaths.
The word of the day is chaos. Baseball in 2023 has been the epitome of chaos. A chaotic regular season leads to a chaotic postseason (at the end) which leads to the chaos of the World Series. Who had the Texas Rangers against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the championship? If you did, you're probably a time traveler; and I would also like the future Super Bowl winners, if you please.

I don’t know if they were both 100+ losses, but in 1991, the Braves and Twins both won a pennant after having had the worst record in their divisions in 1990. That’s the closest double-out of nowhere parallel I can think of.

They had a chance in 07, but they clearly weren't the favorites going into that one. Rangers win game 1 due to the bullpen choking harder than you do when you get water down the wrong pipe.

@@crazyluigi6664 exactly! And game 4 was really competitive. Plus there were huge umpiring issues that favored Houston for the most part. Absolutely not saying that’s why we lost, but it was absolutely a factor. We definitely lost because of our bats being mostly silent besides in game 2. But like i said im so fucking proud of them

Well two teams that did the impossible, I knew the Diamondbacks were a good team, but the Rangers they made back just hope they recover from the Giants, Cardinals, and Blue Jays. All have to say “good luck.”

[@SuperNASCARrocks]

As a D Backs fan how the hell did we get here? We had one of the worst stretches all season, limped into the playoffs as a lowly wildcard team, beat the brewers, manhandled the dodgers, and held our own against the Phillies. We weren’t supposed to be here but we are and I’m all for it.

I'll be rooting for you guys...lived in Phoenix between 2020-2022 and I miss the fuck out of Arizona!

[@thephoenixxm4160]

You guys are literally the Phillies from last year. The same exact script and to top if off you are also facing an AL West team. If the script holds you will lose to the Rangers like we lost to the Astros.

If I may, Seattle traded Sewald because they were dealing from a position of strength - still having Andres Munoz, Matt Brash, and Justin Topa helps, especially when you still have arms like Isaiah Campbell and Taylor Saucedo to call up. I don't think they expected to catch fire in August the way they did, considering how underwhelming Teoscar Hernandez was for them, and they traded Sewald to grab a couple of guys who could project as possible starters long-term. Dominic Canzone looks promising, in particular. He's mashing in AAA the same way Mitch Haniger did for Arizona when Seattle dealt for him, and the Mariners really need some more depth in the outfield so they can keep grooming Lazaro Montes as their answer to Yordan Alvarez without needing to compromise in the field. The process for Seattle has been infuriating to a lot of fans, understandably so since they got passed up by the Rangers this year. But the logic has all been solid, and if they hadn't gotten 5th-percentile outcomes from Jesse Winker and Kolten Wong in back-to-back years, no one would be complaining. Truthfully, I think they just need to get some climate control into the stadium. T-Mobile Park after almost 25 years is still brutal on hitters, especially in the early months of the season.

[@philly_sports1558]

I think the Diamondbacks beating the Phillies will have major repercussions to the way baseball teams are constructed. Hear me out. The Phillies are the quintessential modern analytical three true outcomes “home run or nothing” team while DBacks are a classic small ball and fundamentals team. Teams that rely so heavily on the long ball tend to get cold out of nowhere in the playoffs while more balanced rosters tend to go deeper. This was a bigger deal than a lot of people think.

[@manzac112]

I don't know why people didn't learn this lesson after Atlanta and Houston won their respective titles with dominant pitching, situational hitting, and clutch defense.

[@Denozo88]

True. The rangers are a good home run team but did their best when they got single after single after double, evan carter having sone epic catches.

[@thephoenixxm4160]

Indeed, that was my main complaint throughout the entire NLCS is the stupid Home-run or bust mentality the team has. It doesn't work. Just listen to that horrible RISP stat Tree mentioned. That is the true problem of Home-run or bust. It leaves A LOT of men on base and batters tend to go very very cold if they aren't hitting home-runs. This team needs an identity change to a small-ball team if we want to have any hope of winning the World Series. Arizona was the masters of small-ball while we were the masters of Home-run or bust and the Small Ball won.

[@Rytoast99]

I dont really consider bohm, stott, marsh, rojas, or even turner 3 true outcome hitters lol. Schwarber and Castellanos are, but schwarber lead the phillies in BA, OBP, Slugging %, and was 2nd on the team in RBI in the NLCS despite having rojas, marsh, and Castellanos being the ones who would be hitting ahead of him outside the first inning. Castellanos definitely failed to do anything situational hitting wise. Realmuto was swinging for the fences every at bat too. Apart from that? Naw phillies had good hitters across the board, diamondback pitching was just better. Pitched around harper and schwarber every other at bat, giving them both a lot of walks. Castellanos got nothing but low and outside sliders that he swung at everytime. Marsh even got pitched around pretty hard so they could go after rojas. Stott and turner were hitting the ball pretty hard, just a lot of those were right to defenders, and bohm hit plenty of deep flyballs in arizona and CBP. Props to arizona. They got to the phillies bullpen, and deserved to move on. They hit the ball where phillies werent

As an O's fan, this is what the 2019 Ravens ending felt like. It was literally identical to that playoff game 4 years. A magical season undone by one series where they got outcoached, and beaten at their own game. Hopefully this time it doesn't take a few years to recover from this loss. In a division with the Yankees and Red Sox, who knows what will happen. I hope they'll be back, but knowing this team's checkered past I'm not so sure. What the hell is it with Baltimore teams crapping the bed in the Opening Round as the #1 seed?

I would say that the 2023 Orioles are the 2014 Astros. Its their First Year seeing results of their Rebuild, but like the '14 Stros, the Orioles aren't ready for Primetime,Yet.

[@Randomsportsfanforum]

I’m an Astros fan, I’m happy with this season. With the sheer amount of injuries they had this year, they are fortunate to make it this far. They will be back in 2024.

[@Tornado1994]

The 2022 Astros were a Marine Navy Seal War Tank that Crushed EVERYONE in its path and Tortured the Pinstripes over and over again. The 2023 Astros were a Early 2000s GMC Yukon SUV that clunkered and backfired all Season long, but Still got the Job done, the Jalopy held itself together until the 7th and Final Game of the ALCS, where it finally gave out. Like in the Blues Brothers, The Blues Mobile GOT the Job done and then Fell apart when it got to the Plaza.
