Wednesday night time the Arizona Diamondbacks finished a splendid three-game Nationwide League Section Layout sweep in opposition to the Los Angeles Dodgers (ARI 4, LAD 2). The D-backs outscored their NL West competitors 19-6 within the 3 video games and the Dodgers by no means held a unmarried govern within the sequence. Arizona was once the easier workforce each and every which approach.

No longer lengthy upcoming the overall out of Recreation 3 was once recorded, the D-backs celebrated the best way each and every workforce must praise a bulky win at Chase Ground: they jumped within the lake. Test 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.”

Previous to the sequence D-Backs proprietor Derrick Corridor mentioned the Dodgers may just praise within the lake in the event that they win, and that’s an entire reversal for him. Corridor known as it “classless” when the Dodgers jumped within the lake following the 2013 NLDS, and the D-backs went as far as to have police defend the lake in 2017. Excellent on Corridor for coming round. It’s baseball. We don’t need to tug it so critically.

So far as I’m involved, you’ll praise a postseason sequence win then again you need. Soar within the lake at Chase Ground, proceed ailing the slide at American People Ground, camp out within the timber at Coors Ground, no matter you need. You’ve earned it. If you happen to’re disenchanted in regards to the D-backs celebrating of their lake 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 within the Championship Layout. The Phillies govern that sequence 2-1. The NLCS starts Monday, so the D-backs have enough quantity of generation to diversion off their Recreation 3 bender.
