Wednesday night time the Arizona Diamondbacks finished a surprising three-game National League Division Series sweep in opposition to the Los Angeles Dodgers (ARI 4, LAD 2). The D-backs outscored their NL West opponents 19-6 in the 3 video games and the Dodgers by no means held a unmarried lead in the sequence. Arizona was once the easier crew each and every which manner.
Not lengthy after the general out of Game 3 was once recorded, the D-backs celebrated the way in which each and every crew will have to celebrate a large win at Chase Field: they jumped in the pool. Check it out:
“We’re going to go in there, we’re going to feel good about ourselves. Hopefully there’s a couple lifeguards out there to keep an eye on us,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo joked during an MLB Network interview after Game 3. “The last time we were here when we clinched, I was in the pool until 2 o’clock in the morning. If you guys got those little MLB cameras, you got to look out there in the middle of the night. You might see half the team out there.”
Prior to the sequence D-Backs proprietor Derrick Hall stated the Dodgers may just celebrate in the pool in the event that they win, and that is the reason an entire reversal for him. Hall known as it “classless” when the Dodgers jumped in the pool following the 2013 NLDS, and the D-backs went as far as to have police guard the pool in 2017. Good on Hall for coming round. It’s baseball. We should not have to take it so critically.
As a long way as I’m involved, you’ll be able to celebrate a postseason sequence win on the other hand you need. Jump in the pool at Chase Field, cross down the slide at American Family Field, camp out in the timber at Coors Field, no matter you need. You’ve earned it. If you might be disillusioned concerning the D-backs celebrating in their pool at their very own ballpark, all I will be able to say is loosen up.
The D-backs will tackle both the Atlanta Braves or Philadelphia Phillies in the Championship Series. The Phillies lead that sequence 2-1. The NLCS starts Monday, so the D-backs have a variety of time to sleep off their Game 3 bender.
