The MLB Playoffs Have Made Zero Sense 

The real biggest loss of this postseason is mad dog not actually retiring

BDE single-handedly has gotten me back into baseball

The greased poles is so funny to me because Philly literally has a history of pole climbing competitions (poles were greased to make it harder) going back to pre-American Revolution. Like this is literally what the people living there have done for drunken fun for over 200 years.

1:30 “i have children, they were born, but they kinda disappointed me” 😂 what the actual hell

Whoever guessed that the Diamondbacks and the Rangers would face-off in the world series at the beginning of this year needs to go out and buy a lottery ticket, because they just might be the luckiest human being in the world. This year turned every single baseball stat upside-down and shook every last coin out of its pockets.

The worst part about this postseason is that Chris Russo isn't true to his word. What a hack

Phillies fans went from this incredibly uplifting story of supporting Turner through his abysmal start to the season to saying “eff him, he’s paid too much, we did better without him.” How predictable.

These videos have been amazing. You've got me, a British football and cricket fan who follows NFL, a little bit of NBA and zero MLB, watching my first live baseball in years on TNT (formerly BT Sport), just because of the story-lines and enthusiasm they've been weaving and building.

Even game 1 of the world series has been crazy

You can't disrespect your opponent the way the Phillies did. Nothing good can come of it.

It’s surprising that in baseball there are still players that talk smack before it’s all over. Like bro, baseball is perhaps the most famous of the major sports when it comes to unpredictable upsets.

It doesn’t matter what the sport is, playoffs games of ANY kind in Philadelphia are like psychological warfare.

Not much more satisfying than seeing Philadelphia fans get disappointed.

Baseball is exciting for every reason you make the videos about, but the amount of Goosebumps and Euphoria I get when you compile everything together is through the roof

To that Phillies fan saying that he hopes they never play another baseball game again, I couldn’t agree more 😂

Lmfao at "STRIDER, IS YOUR BROTHER LUIGI HERE?!" Fan trash talk is undefeated 😂

AZ native here. I've always loved our Snakes even if they've been bad for a long while now. It's just incredible to see them get as far as they can possibly go on the backs of rookies and house money. Everyone is salty and bitter and are refusing to acknowledge us. Our team is chaotic and it's been a wild ride, so I hope others can appreciate that, too!

This year has been a win for baseball. From the World Baseball Classic, to this season featuring the tightest division race unimaginable, a Texan baseball rivalry becoming for real, and an underdog team shocking the world like no other. One of the best and most chaotic seasons indeed

In 1989, Jim Rooker said during a broadcast in a Pirates' road game in Philadelphia, said "If we don't win this one, I don't think I'd want to be on that plane ride home. Matter of fact, if we don't win, I'll walk back to Pittsburgh." after the Pirates had such a huge lead after the first inning (10 runs) that he believed it impossible for Philadelphia to turn it around. Which they did and the Pirates lost 11 to 10. Nobody let him back down, and he indeed walked the entire way from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, all 300 plus miles of it. Chris Russo said he would retire on the spot if the Diamondbacks beat the Phillies in the last two games, and backs down, because he is not a man, he is a child in a man's body, that has zero style and zero credibility in anything he says, has said, or will say, and the only reason he has a job is because he talks so much that people just tune in to hear whatever crazy thing he might say next. He is not a sport journalist, or a journalist of any kind, but a clown. And any show that has him, as a main broadcaster or as a guest, also has zero credibility.

A huge baseball account on IG that was a Phillies fan made a post saying, "We lost to a team that will get swept by the Rangers. This is BS" LOOOOOOLLLLLL

The street lamps being greased is the the second funniest Philadelphia thing I’ve ever seen. The fact they climbed them anyway is the funniest

I just have to point out the editing, music choice, and narrative style all work together perfectly. I don't even watch baseball but I love these videos for the production quality alone.

Every time a Philadelphia team loses in the playoffs a tear of joy comes to my eye

As a NY sports fan , I gotta give respect to Philadelphia . No NY team has had a championship in over 10 yrs and we’re a 2 team city in 4 sports

Seeing the Phillies blow it again has been the best part of the postseason.

Seeing both the Philies and the Astros get absolutely fucking embarrassed was beyond the normal definition of heavenly. Excellent coverage as always BDE

Seeing the diamondbacks celebrate winning that series infront of phillies fans was magical. They talked so much crap and were saying theyd jump in the pool when they clench in Arizona, boy wete they wrong 😂

$15 for a playoff game in any sport is absolutely wild

If Phillies fans can acknowledge & dislike the Braves fans over all their arrogance, braggadociousness, & conceitedness, why can't they recognize it in themselves?

D-Backs silencing Phillies fan is quite satisfying. i can’t deny the intensity of Phillies fans, i can appreciate it, and its always fun watching them play. hell of a crowd. But this is why you never celebrate early. Baseball is a weird sport where anything happens, especially in a psotseason but with the astros and rangers, its kinda why winning the division don’t matter when you are eliminated. Given the astros was the only that made it since every other team that took their division was eliminated

This year got me back into baseball and I think I love it more than I ever have now. Cool to see the Orioles clinch the AL east division and the entire postseason has been unbelievably entertaining.

Go look at those Yankee teams in the 90s. The stadium was constantly shaking every game. People thought the stadium would collapse due to the noise. Fans right on top of you, a dynasty before their eyes. Not even close.

Honestly no matter what happens and who wins the world series. I think the 2023 playoffs will be remembered forever

That game 1 of this World Series has been an absolute nailbiter and a classic!

This is the greatness of baseball. Stir in some underdogs, sprinkle in a few come backs. This is a great series and I'm a Dodger fan

I followed the NLCS, and what most fans don't realize is that you don't win the world series by hitting home runs. You don't win it by having enthusiastic fans. You don't win by excessive celebrations. You win it by solid pitching, timely hitting, defense, strategy, sometimes manufacturing runs, and keeping a level head. The Phillies thought they could win the world series by feeding off emotion, and hitting home runs. They were sorely mistaken. How many times have you seen Philadelphia hit multiple home runs in a game where the crowd is rocking, the players are high-fiving each other, and they get shut out the next game? During the world series last year, the Phillies hit five home runs is a game, and the next day they got no-hit. This is baseball. You have to have a complete team to win. You can't just exhibit enthusiasm, hit home runs and win the world series. Screaming fans don't win world series. Neither do players who try to use adrenaline to win. Eventually, the adrenaline wears out, and you lose... BTW, the Phillies hit 11 home runs in NLCS against Arizona, but only drove in 12 runs with those home runs. What does that stat tell you?

Seeing Philly fans this mad brings me the same amount of joy as my Dbacks winning. It’s the best win win I’ve had in sports maybe ever.

Gotta love the sweet sweet tears from Phillies' fans.

Human beings are so out of control these days. I blame smart phones, social media and the internet.

Bro talked about the Phillies 2022 season more than he did the 2023 ALCS lol

I visited Philadelphia many times over the years and always thought "City of Brotherly Love" was the most backwards moniker ever given. The people there were always awful. Best story of this year is them losing.

Seeing the Phillies fans meltdown was amazing. They celebrated like they had already won it all, only to be silenced and humbled. It reminds me of the 1950 FIFA World Cup where Brazil was already celebrating like they won the cup because they were up against Uruguay. The newspapers, radio personalities, etc. were already congratulating Brazil. The manager of Uruguay saw this slander and showed it to the team riling them up. Brazil would lose 2-1. Also, the World Cup was held in Brazil that year. People at the time describe the stadium being the quietest place in the city when the final whistle blew. The moral lesson here is to never underestimate anyone and to stay humble to the very end.

You know what I wish? We were in the same division with the Phillies, Nationals, and the Yankees, or the Mets, or both. A baseball mirror of the NFL East.

Been a pleasure going through another season with your videos along the way. Glad people still love baseball like I do

As a Rangers fan for life, this has been a really fun postseason. At the start of the season I hoped for them to contend for a while, and get ready for next season. In July, I was happy they were still in it. In August, I was happy they were still in it. In September, I was happy they were still in it. In October, I never would have dreamed, they would still be in it. I am still riding the high from them beating the Astros even after an amazing game 1. It has been a fun ride, but I want more...

As a Rangers fan this season has brought me back into Baseball. #ElBombi

Phillies fans doing the Tomahawk chant was classic lol

did that old lady just comment "overpaid hicks"? ROFL

This is 1 of the most fun postseason with The drama and story lines since 2004 when the Red Sox finally broke the bambino curse!

I only got back into Baseball this year. God Damn I chose a good year.

"you kiss your mother with those thighs?" now THAT is some top-tier heckling!

This hurts to rewatch as a Phillies fan, but I have to. I feel bad for Turner, Harper, and all of the other guys who are under fire. We’ll make it next year guys.

I forgot they greased the poles, Philly is so funny, I love it 😂

Watching Philly's fans get so high and then get so low and come back to reality was the best feeling all postseason How could you not love that even if your teams was not in the playoffs That alone hade me tuning in just to see them get a taste of reality lmao!

It’s crazy how there is so much info on something that doesn’t exist

I refuse to believe that they did not hit Garcia on purpose, Pedro Martinez once said he never hit someone that he did not intend to.

One of the greatest starts to a World series

Watching Phillies fans melt down after they collapsed was the best part of entire post season 😂😂😂

3:10 idk why but seeing him snap after seeing countless vids of him being so nice is funny asf LMAOOO

That must be very hard to have a baseball channel with their insane copyright claim

How can playoffs of a sport that doesn’t exist make any sense? 😮

It’s crazy how all of this is about a sport that doesn’t exist

18:06 I love how during this altercation you can see Yordan Alvarez from the Astros to the side with Garcia trying to calm him down, and none of the Rangers are trying to stop him 😂

You do a better job explaining the race to the world series than anyone else. That got me pumped.

gotta love $2.5b Phillies getting their butts kicked by Merrill Kelly, Geraldo Perdomo, and Luis frias whoever the frick that is

MLB needs more "baseball" fans and less team fanatics

As an Arizonian who has been loosely following baseball for the past few years, it was really weird checking in and seeing the Diamondbacks in the world series.

9:19 Stubbs has a lot to say for someone who never gets into the game

I liked the Phillies last year vs the Astros but this year I saw how horrific their fans behaved and I started actively rooting for their downfall. (And when it arrived I enjoyed every minute)

7:20 "outside of the federal penal system" that shit is actually hilarious

for some reason, The D Backs printing all the snakes alive signs and wasting all that paper bugs the living hell out of me, lol.

Hardcore diamondbacks fan, was super proud just to make it to the post-season lmao! Even though we didn't win the World Series, we still made it and that's something to be proud of, especially after years and years of embarrassment and upset. The Rangers deserved their win, so I can't be too mad at them either! We'll get 'em next year >:D

They really have! I never imagined the diamondbacks in the WS!

God I love watching Philly losing

I am in the "was not intentional" camp. Stuff happens. HBPs happen. 2 runs down in the 8th in a tied ALCS is the most illogical time to take out your grudge that way. Doesn't make sense. There hadn't been anything to retaliate against the whole series, except Garcia's pimped HR earlier in G5. But that was innings before... who cares?? The idea that he hit him so they didn't have to pitch to him... there's also the intentional walk. The idea of intentional doesn't make sense, and it was an arbitrary decision by the umps - one they got wrong. Garcia was the one shoving people and throwing a tantrum afterwards. Maybe LeClerc wouldn't have gotten iced if Garcia had just taken his base. I think Rangers would have won G5 if Garcia just hadn't decided to make a scene.

DBacks fan. My Grandparents are Brewers fans, so I was just glad to see them play each other. Then the Dodgers series I didn’t even actually watch, I hate the Dodgers more than any other MLB team and the fact that we swept them will bring me joy for the next year. I didn’t expect us to win the NLCS, but once I saw Pfaadt was starting game 7 I was like ‘Holy shit we have a shot’. From what I’ve seen of him he’s looked great, and I’m just shocked one of my sports teams (DBacks and LA Chargers) finally make a big finale. Snakes Alive! 🐍🐍

I just like a good ball game. I never understood people hating if the 'opposing' team plays great. I do understand if your preferred team plays like crap though.

Seeing how the Rangers and the Diamondbacks made the World Series this season reminded me of how Morocco and Croatia made the semifinals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, especially Morocco.

“F the braves And f whoever we play next And always the Mets” That’s the funny right there

MLB really needs to do something about away fans buying up 20k or so seats from the home teams stadium, which brought up thousands of complaints online both against the city of Philadelphia and the MLB. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these fans ended up in jail for either disorderly conduct or assault. This kind of behavior should not be condoned, and should be brutally and relentlessly looked down on, and shown that this kind of behavior only makes it worse for yourself, your city, and your teams reputation.

First time here on BDE and dang, impressive. Very well done both in storytelling and editing.

I'm a Phillies fan, this post season run has got me mad in 100 different ways and honestly all of it is directed at the team and fanbase. It's like we all got way too cocky and complacent after beating Atlanta. First of all, Stubbs was an idiot for saying he was gonna celebrate in the Diamondbacks' pool, like way to give that team motivation to NOT let it happen. Plus the other fans buying seats at Chase Field just to make sure they are empty was shitty behavior, I'm embarrassed of those people. And of course the sudden collapse is just baffling. I was so mad with the way the team just laid down and died out of absolutely nowhere that by game 7 I was hoping they wouldn't win. If you blow a two game lead and then follow it up by shitting the bed at home so hard that people leave before the game is over then you don't deserve to go to the World Series. And don't get me started on how much everyone is paid, I hope they enjoy sleeping on their piles on money in the off season, ugh. Last year's loss in the World Series sucked, but at the same time nobody expected them to make it that far, it was a true Cinderella run. This year the expectation was that they'd take what they learned from last year's post season and actually win this time, a true redemption arc. And for the first two rounds, it actually felt like it was gonna happen. I hope they actually learn from what happened this time and truly come back to win it all next year, there are no more excuses.

Something that I think is getting forgotten is the fact that in the beginning of August the Diamondbacks were only a few ganes out of the 1st spot of the NL West but lost 9 games in a row and ended the year on a 4 game losing streak, they are better than their record shows (obviously since they are in the WS) but are more like an 90-87 win team imo. The Rangers actually benefited from not winning the division so that they coukd have 4 road games against one of the worst home teams in the league tied with the Red Sox and Pirates for 10th worst, teams like the Guardians and Mets had a better home record but their overall record was atleast 14 games worst than the Astros (not to mention they won all away games vs Rangers but lost all home games). In fact the Astros went 1-5 in home games this postseason (not great)

If you are ever bored, watch the character development of a philly fan in the span of 5-6 days. They went from having 40k people yelling striders name to crying about losing the NLCS. As a brave's fan, I don't care that the braves lost and would consider the postseason a success.

when philly loses, we all win

Watching sports, nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than seeing a sad Phillies fan 😁😁😁

Reminds me of when the D-Backs won the WS in 2001. Everyone just assumed the Yankees were gonna be handed the title because 9/11 was still fresh on people's minds, and Arizona just kind of waltzed in with their own two towers (Johnson and Schilling) and spoiled everything.

“Backup outfielder Alek Thomas” one of the best outfielders in the game, you meant to say

Everyone knew ARZ would go to the World Series after they beat the Brewers

Man this dude can write a gripping story line!!!! Who knew something that doesnt exist could be so excitingly awesome!!! I cant wait to see what happens next! Kind of hoping for something similar to futurama style blurnsball changes for the next season myself. Maybe get a one eyed lady pitcher?????? One can dream thats for sure, but one thing is for certain..... This show just keeps getting better and better!!!!!!!!

I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention Abreu hitting Garver with a pitch in Game 6, but to be fair, i guess nothing really came of it though. We were all shocked that Abreu got away with pushing his suspension to next season, and him beaning Garver kind of felt like a big "fuck you" to us for troubling him haha

Man, Your content has gotten me back in to baseball. Great stuff.

Philly fans seem like the only Americans who can hold a candle to European sports fans, love the atmosphere they put up

I could care less for baseball never even watched a full game but I keep coming back for these videos. You crush at making interesting videos!

I’m a die hard braves fan, and I gotta say: thank god for the D-Backs. I wouldn’t be able to stomach any more Phillies success after the last two years. Also, dear Philadelphia: I hate you with every ounce of my being, I pray every day that Bryce Harper never sees a World Series ring in his entire life

just now watching this video. I'm a rangers fan. I love how hard the D-backs fought in the postseason and I hope they have a fantastic future ahead of them!

Now that the two most obnoxious fandoms in baseball have been eliminated from the World Series some people are complaining about the two teams remaining instead of enjoying the storyline of what could possibly be one of the most entertaining series in years. This proves that you can’t possibly please everyone no matter how good they have it. Go Rangers!

As a Phillies fan, we should’ve never gotten so cocky and trash talked. Now we look like a laughing stock and everyone hates us.

That's why I love baseball most as it's so dramatic and unpredictable.

Philadelphia fans never fail to disappoint no matter what the sport. God bless them.
