All MLB owners and GMs taking serious notes on this az team. Playing moneyball all over again and showing the world you don’t need 300m to build a championship team. Just a solid bullpen and good defense along with base running. Bringing old school baseball back! If you cannot hate this !!!

The Diamondbacks are showing the world exactly how "small-ball" should be played. Nine innings of great technical defense, contact hitting to simply put the ball in play rather than trying to hit it into the next area code, very aggressive base running that adds an element of anxiousness to opposing pitchers, and great pitching are a lethal combination. You don't need a lot of over-priced talent to play baseball this way; you need speed, intelligence and grit. This team's got it....and a manager who seems always to get their best efforts.

I feel like I'm watching the 1969 NY Mets again.

I didn’t know there were AZ Diamondbacks fans in Texas!!!! 😮

Love you all from the 602 area code 😉

The snakes play impeccable small ball, it’s exciting and refreshing to watch. Also glad none of these young guys have let the bright lights get to them. Carroll, Moreno, guerriel, Thomas, and perdomo are ALL doing their jobs out there.

The fact that the diamondbacks didn’t have to go to Ginkel or Sewald in the final innings says a lot of how dominant this team could really be

Kelly, I'm rooting for you. From your Korean fan.

Impressive win for the Dbacks with that lost Friday night!

D-Backs are on a mission! They let game one slip away, but it won’t happen again. They just keep coming, they are relentless at the plate, driving in runs throughout the entire lineup.

Huge win for Arizona, they were the Answerbacks hardcore in this one. Now time for them to bring it on home, 3 more wins to go

[KPCienega]

Dbacks are winners of 5 out of their last 7 playoff games. Playing pretty hot right now!

[stevemeters]

Arizona has thoroughly outplayed the Rangers through the 1st two games.
Its awesome to see a team play small ball and dominate.

[charlesh]

As long as the D-Backs pitchers can contain Garcia and Seager they should be fine. The D-Backs are a pesky team, they never go away and keep chipping away all game long. They are going to be tough to beat. Right now the Diamondbacks are playing good baseball.

Diamondbacks are gonna probably win the world series now, they have confidence. Texas is lucky they won last night

[sumeetbeniwal]

As an Astros fan i am on the diamondbacks side. Let’s go Diamondbacks! Keep it up!

[noevalleygiants]

Speed combined with pitching, that rare combination, ALWAYS wins. D-backs in 7.

[busdriver]

I love the D-backs and the way they score. Pitching and hitting really are everything with this team.

[soilworker]

Dbacks should be up 2-0 if it wasn't for that freebie in game 1

[andressotil]

Loved the Dbacks since Randy Johnson days. Great to see them back in shape and showung results. GO DBACKS

Snakes Are 82-73 when Carroll appears in a game he is the heart❤ and soul of this team, he has an indomitable spirit that cannot be shaken. And that is a byproduct of his Chinese heritage. His hustle and determination are very contagious, i doubt the Snakes would be as successful without him. He's like Pete Rose and Lenny Dykstra all rolled into one.
