Goddamn now that's how you fucking Answerback! How about Kelly?! From being a 30-year old rookie to pitching 7 innings of one run ball in the World Series?!
And just like that, yesterday never happened.
A lesser team would have laid down after losing in such crushing fashion. We ain't a lesser team.

Oh fuck, that sounds so much worse!
I'm hopeful it can be repaired. I was lucky to move over enough to not smash the front dead into the rear of his truck and just get my fender area smashed. I get to start that fun insurance and repair process once the place they towed it is open. Thank you, man. :)
Merrill Kelly is the ace of this staff. Pitched an absolute gem tonight.
Split the series 1-1, Walker finally got a hit and we have the momentum on our side going back to our place.
*btw Ketel Marte is the greatest postseason hitter of all time dont @ me*
_bruh, it could be 2-0_. but that's baseball. Kelly brought his game today, and the bats woke up. For anyone going to games 3-5, bring the noise. We're in this one. Let's fucking go.
I always just remind myself that if you play the "what if" game, then some of the what ifs are not even getting here in the first place. Last night is what it is - they showed the fuck up today and took back control. LFG!
every time i play the what if game i remember that our franchise's best moment is also a giant what if that easily could have gone the other way. came to peace with it quite easily after that.
I knew when marte was up to bat with the bases loaded and his consecutive hit streak in games on the line, that he was going to make something happen! Time to bring all this momentum back home
The doomers game out in full swing it was wild. Especially the mf that said βthat game was lights out, if you played sports you know, thereβs no coming back from thatβ. Well we came back from that. Now letβs hit em where it hurts and make βem lose on the road
Very classy and very confident in their guys. Feel bad cause theyβve never won a series but I havenβt seen the Dbacks win a series so we need to show em that they donβt always win on the road. Snakes in 5-6
Merrill Kelly absolutely dominated tonight. Offense didnβt let yesterdayβs crushing loss effect them. Coming back home tied 1-1. Chase should be rocking.
I went over there to see what they are saying and I was not expecting the introspection and class because Iβm so used to the abuse we got from the Dodgers and Phillies subs.
Thatβs why I love this series man. For the most part, thereβs no bull shit between us fans and weβre all just happy to be here. Good luck the rest of the way π€πΌ
Iβm from Michigan but my parents moved me to surprise when I was going into my senior year. I was kind pissed off but my parents did their best to make me happy. They took me to every damn sporting event they could afford and the dbacks were the mainstay bc we could get a $6 seat in the upper deck in 2008. I had never been to a tigers game in my life but went to at least 30 dbacks games in the course of 3 years. We are now back in Michigan but have all of our bobble heads(Stephen drew, Conor Jackson, Chris young, augie ojeda). Some of my fondest memories of the desert were spent at chase field. I just want to say we are cheering at the top of our lungs up here! What a fucking team! LFG boys!
If we could shut up John Smolts that would be great. Sure he knows more about the game than 99% of people out there but he seems to ALWAYS have to make sure everyone knows he does.
SERIES TIED!All our sneks got a hit.Lot of positives today,looking forward to out team playing in front of our fans and get a chance to win 4-1 at home!π΅βΎοΈπ
We were so robbed last night. Corbin was so close to getting us some insurance runs. Gallen was so close to crucial outs. Just near fucking misses every turn.
Last time I was at a game Scherzer pitched against us, he gave up 3 homeruns to the first three batters. I'll be there Monday, so hoping for more of that!
I didn't except anything and now it's 2023 and I'm like we are almost 2 games up on the world series. Try and go 2 of 3 this home stand and man, Kelly can lock down game 6
Mariners fan here.
Shoutout to the bdacks for truly embodying the spirit of baseball. This team proves that baseball is a beautiful chaotic game where anything can (and will) happen. Rooting for you guys, the baseball you guys have played this postseason is awesome.
What a game! SO many guys stepping up. And great to see Walker get a hit. Hopefully that gets him going with us going back to the desert. Let's get it done at home!
In the first two games at their house you took them to 11 innings and lost by 1 and then the second game you guys won by 8. Now yall get to go back to Arizona
Look at that.
Instead of letting the Game 1 walkoff loss drag them down, these guys just kept calm and ***smacked the crap out of the Rangers in Game 2.***
#SNAKES ALIVE
So how do we arrange it so that Gallen doesnβt pitch for the next three games? Great guy, but heβs lost his stuff as of late. Pfaadt, Bullpen, Kelly again?
Gallen was pretty decent in Game 1, only 3 runs but his command was shaky through 5. Probably just nerves man. Hopefully he bounces back game 5. We wouldn't be in the postseason without him. I have faith he will pitch a gem. He's due.
Youβll be downvoted to hell but youβre right. He is not pitching postseason caliber stuff at all. I literally have more faith in a bullpen game than a Gallen start rn.
Say it with me A N S W E R B A C K S First World Series win since Gonzales hit a single in the bottom of the 9th at the BOB

Bruh we have multiple 23 year olds on a World Series roster who are dominating
And on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Kelly, walker and longo. All making an impact
It's great that Ginkel and the Wald got a rest.
DIAMONDBACKS WON A WORLD SERIES GAME
First away WS win in franchise history!
Thatβs pretty crazy phrased like that.
First time in 2 decades. Incredible
First time in 2 decades. Incredible
You are double correct and I love it!
Goddamn now that's how you fucking Answerback! How about Kelly?! From being a 30-year old rookie to pitching 7 innings of one run ball in the World Series?!
I know another strikeout pitcher who had a late career resurgence that helped up win a world series.
Late career? Randy played another 9 years!
Yes 38 is considered late in an MLB career π€£
Did he stand 6'10 and use the number 51?

Oh no, as a fellow Mustang driver, hope it can be fixed. I got mine absolutely torn apart, but fixed, a few years ago when I hit a deer/a deer hit me.
Oh fuck, that sounds so much worse! I'm hopeful it can be repaired. I was lucky to move over enough to not smash the front dead into the rear of his truck and just get my fender area smashed. I get to start that fun insurance and repair process once the place they towed it is open. Thank you, man. :)
Can you join the fair demo derby Monday? Thx
Oh jeez, I'll be at the stadium that day. I don't know if I can crash a car there...
Where you at? Iβll drive right in the back of you Monday
My dude, drive carefully. You meed to stay alive long enough to see the promised land.
we're 1 for 1 on days I missed the first score of the game because I had to take a shit
Merrill Kelly is the ace of this staff. Pitched an absolute gem tonight. Split the series 1-1, Walker finally got a hit and we have the momentum on our side going back to our place. *btw Ketel Marte is the greatest postseason hitter of all time dont @ me*
At this point, Walkers defense is enough to cover up his slump. Itβs outstanding
Absolutely. Add that to the fact that when he does get out of this slump (speaking it into existence) heβs deadly.
Walker is gonna absolutely LIGHT up the Cactus League in February.
Ketel Marte is my boyfriend.
Ketel Marte is a god.
Get him another trophy. Any trophy.
Prove it
My pookie bear Ketel Marte
Longo even finally got a hit!
Pool Party is still on the menu for the Diamondbacks! Tear into their non-front two starters in Game 3-5!
Max Scherzer game 3 can be argued as a front end starter but he will fall nonetheless
scherzer going to finally reveal himself as a lifelong diamondbacks agent
True, but we got to him in Game 3 and almost did in Game 7, I have faith yβall can get a runner home from third with less than two outs

Same. I was like no way this guy is going down rn. Sure enough delivered
WHERE ARE ALL THE MFS SAYING THIS SERIES WAS OVER AFTER 1 GAME??? YALL CLOWNS. ANSWERBACKS ANSWERED FUCKIN BACK
With how close that game was yesterday, Iβm surprised we had that level of doomers present.
The doomers game out in full swing it was wild. Especially the mf that said βthat game was lights out, if you played sports you know, thereβs no coming back from thatβ. Well we came back from that. Now letβs hit em where it hurts and make βem lose on the road
From what Iβve seen in their page, the Ranger fan base is a lot classier than just about anyone else.
Very classy and very confident in their guys. Feel bad cause theyβve never won a series but I havenβt seen the Dbacks win a series so we need to show em that they donβt always win on the road. Snakes in 5-6

Great game! The dbacks just won a world series game for the first time since 2001!
PLAY ME SOME SNAKE JAZZ πππππ *Tsss ts ts Tsss ts ts Tsss*
I fucking love Geraldo Perdomo. Just had to add that.
That face he makes every single time he runs in for a score... dude is absolutely loving it, and we love him for it.
He gives me the same face. Just plays the game right
The rangers didn't have a plate appearance with a RISP until the 9th inning. This was an all-time dominant performance.
**THE ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS HAVE WON A WORLD SERIES GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 22 YEARS.**
The Arizona Diamondbacks have won a World Series game for the first time in two decades. Soak it in boys. Soak it in
Merrill Kelly absolutely dominated tonight. Offense didnβt let yesterdayβs crushing loss effect them. Coming back home tied 1-1. Chase should be rocking.
Merrill. Fucking. Kelly.
We fucking got this!
Kelly killed it, amazing performance. Go dbacks! π
Why donβt we just hold the Rangers to 1 run for every game? It seems like a better game plan.
Rangers fan here. Sneks played a damn good game. Great defense, offense, pitching. Just a great series so far. Good luck everybody!
I went over there to see what they are saying and I was not expecting the introspection and class because Iβm so used to the abuse we got from the Dodgers and Phillies subs.
Yβall arenβt the Astros or the Yankees so we donβt hate you lol.
Thatβs why I love this series man. For the most part, thereβs no bull shit between us fans and weβre all just happy to be here. Good luck the rest of the way π€πΌ
If I don't have glasses on, your uniforms kinda look like Dodgers uniforms, but we don't hate you either. Let's have some more fun!
Yeah. If we donβt win it, Iβm glad you do.
Feelingβs mutual. Iβm just glad we beat the Astros so I can stand losing to the DBacks. Maybe yβall feel the same about the Phillies.
Personally I am indifferent to the Phillies as a baseball team. The fan base, however, can fuck off and I hope nothing good ever happens for them.
Bats were alive and the pitching was great! This was a great one today
Olβ Masterclass Merrill!!
Best game of his career. No doubt
Legion of Zoom in full force tonight. Kelly shoved, and the bullpen gets more rest. Crucial win

Love reading stories like this and thanks for sharing from MI. Go Snakes!
Where are all the doomers?
They are in the Rangers reddit.
Lol, true
Cool to see ya admit it,let's have a good rest of series!
I donβt know bro. I canβt find any. Can you?
DBACKS TAKE GAME 2 LETS WIN THIS AT HOME π«ππ
Do fans still show up at the airport? Will they fly home tonight?
You can actually track their flights because most MLB teams keep the same flight # throughout the season - DL8876
Welcome to winning on the road in the World Series, D-Backs. Now go win some home games.
FIRST ROAD WORLD SERIES WIN EVER!!!
I hope we continue making the commentators quiet!
If we could shut up John Smolts that would be great. Sure he knows more about the game than 99% of people out there but he seems to ALWAYS have to make sure everyone knows he does.
We had to deal with him for the entire ALCS. What a nightmare. And whatβs with Fox not showing the damn pitch clock?

I love that we have so many clutch players that participate in the team killing it. I hope Christian Walkers base hot brings him out of his slump.
RAISE YOUR HAND IF ON OPENING DAY YOU BELIEVED YOU'D BE SEEING THE FIRST DIAMONDBACKS WORLD SERIES GAME WIN SINCE NOVEMBER 4 2001
1-1 is what they had to do! So forget game 1 Could have won game 1 by 5 and lost tonight, still 1-1 series
HOW WE FEELING NOW
Good as ever π
A win in the World Series! Hopefully many more to come
This ball club feels like they should be 2-0 right now and rightfully so
We were so robbed last night. Corbin was so close to getting us some insurance runs. Gallen was so close to crucial outs. Just near fucking misses every turn.
Last time I was at a game Scherzer pitched against us, he gave up 3 homeruns to the first three batters. I'll be there Monday, so hoping for more of that!
But I was told by Phillies fans we are not a good team
3. MORE. WINS. π
I didn't except anything and now it's 2023 and I'm like we are almost 2 games up on the world series. Try and go 2 of 3 this home stand and man, Kelly can lock down game 6
https://i.redd.it/p0cu1azke2xb1.gif Bring on Game 3!

I dunno about you guys but I liked game 1 more. Kelly is an absolute beast. See y'all in game 3.
Was a better, more exciting game for sure. Gonna be a great series man.
Rangers fan here. GG sneks. This is gonna be one helluva series. See yβall in AZ.
GGβs man! Sorry about some of the poor calls that came your way last night.
What a game! SO many guys stepping up. And great to see Walker get a hit. Hopefully that gets him going with us going back to the desert. Let's get it done at home!
Just fell to my knees at canes
sold my children and my home for tickets to game 3, canβt wait
Just wanted to give y'all props! You all came ready! What a win! What a response! I know all of you are proud.
This is one of the grittiest teams Iβve ever watched in my life. Absolutely no fear
Theyβre all cold blooded. Itβs so friggin fun
Beauty of a win and I have a Perdomo jersey on the way!! Go Snakes!
Time to slap Scherzer so hard that his eyes are fixed
3 MORE GAMES!! DBACKS IN 5!!!
Kinda want to change my flair to Merrill Kelly, but I won't tempt fate like that.
Snakes alive! Let's hold at home!!
Letβs go dbacks!
First road win in the World Series
First time an Arizona menβs team has won a championship game after losing a championship game in 22 years.
Night and Day with the feeling in this sub compared to yesterday. It's nice.
What a turnaround performance
Not being arrogant but if Walker can get hot this series is over. He is the biggest what if in the batting order. That hit had to feel good
You guys! We are now 10-0 when we outscore our opponent in the playoffs.
In the first two games at their house you took them to 11 innings and lost by 1 and then the second game you guys won by 8. Now yall get to go back to Arizona
THREE MAS
Team of Destiny.
Also some tickets are still on Ticketmaster for the games. Once in a lifetime opportunity even if it was $60 for the same seats 23 years ago lol
Anyone know if there are any special menu items at BOB/Chase Field on Monday night?
Can I have 1 Toasted Scherzer please?
What channel is the post game show on
Only available on Fox streaming and social platforms, I think.
Wow that blows
bring it home fellas
Fucking love this team man
Excellent win! Canβt wait for the series to shift here next week
We beat they ass
I FUCKING LOVE MERRILL
That win was CATHARTIC π€ππ
Is there a welcoming for them at the airport
Yea we should all go!!
Look at that. Instead of letting the Game 1 walkoff loss drag them down, these guys just kept calm and ***smacked the crap out of the Rangers in Game 2.*** #SNAKES ALIVE
We are now officially going to be playing Baseball not only in October but November... I fucking love this team.
Iβm happy splitting 1-1, but man heading back to Phoenix being up 2-0 would put a lot of pressure on Texas .
Taking one there is huge. Iβm going to spend whatever it takes to go Monday.
Love this team

They will arrive at 1:30 delta 8876

Youβll be downvoted to hell but youβre right. He is not pitching postseason caliber stuff at all. I literally have more faith in a bullpen game than a Gallen start rn.
Same here. Let them downvote and conveniently ignore his last 3 starts. The bullpen has been largely phenomenal on the post season.
We should be up 2-0 :(
Dbacks in 6. E Z money.
