They were such a surprise team, and then they skidded, just like the Reds. It's like everyone forgot how to play baseball except for maybe Gallen and Walker, and sometimes Gurriel
It’s crazy how many NL wildcard teams are skidding. The Reds are skidding the Diamondbacks, the Marlins pretty much everything, but the Cubs, who are only half a game out of the wildcard
As a Padres fan I’m conflicted because I had almost already processed the season as a loss emotionally but now the Dbacks & Reds are sliding so hard there’s hope
@@greetingsmars San Francisco’s schedule from here on out is brutal. Harper just came out of the Phillies game. Cubs lost two in a row to the Mets. Reds, Brewers, Dbacks and Marlins are bad. I think San Diego is going to squeek in.
They never had a shot at winning the division and there is no reason they will ever dominate the NL west with better franchises like the Dodgers, Giants or the money the Padres will spend. 2024 DBacks are a flash in the pan. They caught the division off guard by taking advantage of the new rules and now teams are wising up.
Reminds me of the Dodgers in 1991 when they had a 10 game lead over the Braves at the All Star break and ended up losing the division, and this was back when there were only 2 divisions in the National League and no wild cards to make the playoffs.
Wow good memories. I was 12 in 1991 and used to get autographs in the parking lot after games. Darryl, Eddie M, Pedro Martinez's bro. They were good, but ATL had the goods that decade
Is it really the "worst" collapse when everybody knew their stint at the NL West #1 spot was never gonna last? It's not like it's the first time Dbacks had a very respectable first half, and then just deflated in the second half.
When i say worst collapse, im referring to the 2023 season specifically! Not worst of all time, but yes I mean, it wasn’t gonna last but it was still a brutal collapse
Dbacks collapse might not even be a top 3 collapse THIS SEASON. Pirates collapsed HARD after starting 20-8. Yankees collapsed big time after Judge got hurt. With This Dbacks team, it was mostly falling back to earth and the entire offense going cold for 4 weeks. Still in the race though.
This is still par for the course for a developing team like the Diamondbacks. Hovering at .500 this year is a lot better than the 5-40 start last year.
If you were a childhood Dbacks fan, you would come to expect this 😂 Case in point: 2008, 2013, 2018. 2018 was the year that finally sent me over the edge. My mental health with this team couldn’t handle it and I started following my Calgary Flames more. NOW THEY’RE A NUTCASE *wheeze noises*
This might be a hot take, but these surprise teams never have a real shot at postseason success. It’s fun to watch some of their young guys, but they usually are a couple of pieces away from being contenders. It’s all hype until these teams face the Dodgers, Braves, or Astros in the postseason (if they make it)
@@payton2872i don’t think the orioles are a surprise team like the others are. it’s surprising that they got so good this soon, but everyone knew they were gonna become a powerhouse within the next few years. they’re ahead of schedule, though.
As baseball fans we just overexagerates everything. As a 54 year old lifelong Met fan I feel I'm qualified to say "yeah it sucks but you guys are fine. Stuff happens it's a game. You're playing in a stacked division with far less than your competition. Find what you need to build on and keep grinding. Cheers from a diehard Met fan. 👍🏾
I love how people forgot about how (over-)hyped the Mets and the Padres were before the season started. Now they're not even doing fine enough to be considered as "collapse".
I wouldn't blame it all on Lovullo. That guy is basically always trying to make something from nothing. He's been competitive with them when they hardly have anything to work with. Then again, I'm not a Dbacks fan so I don't see the poor decisions people keep claiming he makes.
People need to pump the breaks on crowning young surprising teams just because they had a good few first months. People did that with the Pirates, Reds, and the DBacks. It’s more often than not that teams that don’t have a lot of experience with winning get exposed and fall off in late July/early August.
He starts off by saying baseball is different due to the streakiness of the team and then is surprised a middle of the road team that has a winning streak is followed by a similar losing streak.
They need to shorten the seasons and make postseason longer. They play 200 or something games and then 3 weeks of the postseason? sometimes 100+ win teams play 1 game playoff in a wildcard? That is a waste of time and a season. It is a ridiculous and stupid. They have have to expand the playoffs like they do for hockey and basketball.
Just remember in 2011 the red Sox collapsed so hard there was some controversy with it so diamondbacks fans can be happy as the Red Sox won the World Series 2 years after their collapse
This is fun(funny?) to come back to now that the DBacks are going to the world series after having swept the Brewers and the Dodgers, and just eliminated the Phillies in the NLCS.

All though the Diamond Backs were in first place for most of the first half of the season, I did not expect them to be contenders to begin with. I expected to see the Padres and Dodgers going neck and neck all season long. Dodgers are running away with the N.L west division.
If you would have told me, before the start of the season, they would be above .500 and have a chance of a playoff spot, Ida thought you were smoking that whack sh*t. And yet, here we are lol No one thought the dbacks would be here. They are a year, maybe two away, from serious contention. All this, imo, it’s gravy. Enjoy it
This was so expected, it’s a long season and looking back at the braves and nationals, showed it doesn’t have to be foot on the gas all season. The Dbacks should have started slow and finished hot.
162 games evens out the streaks and the best teams usually win and AZ is not one of the best teams. Unfortunately streaks tend to win WS if you can make the post while hot.
When you figure out how to start "slow" and play around .500 ball for the 1st half of the season then turn it up to around .650 in July and August and then really get hot, playing .750 the last month you will be able to run any team in any sport you want because no one has ever managed to do that. Good Luck
@@davidroman1654 No one wants to play .500 ball at any time but teams like the Dodgers are trying to figure out how to be hot in October. So far not working too well.
It wasn’t a collapse at all, it was unsustainable from the beginning and any person with a brain knew it. It’s the nature of baseball, and why the long season matters
What expectations are you talking about? They were widely picked 3rd or 4th in the NL West going into the season, which is where they’ll finish. The season is 162 games long, not 80 games.
I don’t know anyone that had them making a splash simply because they were so young and there’s gaping holes in their rotation lol. I can’t agree with this but I’m going to support the video because you go in depth with your opinion. My question is can a collapse title really be given to a team you don’t have huge expectations on? I feel like they just started hot & came back down to earth. And it’s not like they were 16 games over.500 in august lol
Not surprised at all the DBacks are failing. Too many young players that can't maintain high levels for 162 games. They really don't have that many good proven players besides Walker, Marte, maybe Gurriel, Gallen, maybe Kelly.
@@Itskittles43l0 99% of baseball is the regular season. BTW, when was the last time the DoucheBacks made the postseason and what happened to them that time?
happy to see how you’re channel is growing! can proudly say i subscribed before you had 100subs, aint long till you gettin 10k and hitting bigger milestones, keep it going!
What How. They have won 8 out of their last 12. Yes, they fell off, but they made a MASSIVE comback, when they won 6 games in a row, and just won 5 games in a row, and just got to their 80th game won. When Gabriel Moreno plays, they are like 12 games over .500. When he doesn't, they are 12 games UNDER .500 that is a good reason why they are doing good, and since they have 2 great main pitchers, Zac Gallen and Meril Kelly, their starters aren't really bad. Since Tommy Pham is now on the D-Backs, Corbin Carrol is Rookie of the Year, and now their closer, Paul Sewald they have already become a really good team, and are still 2nd in their division, and will most likely end off as 2nd in their division, and they have 2 Gold Glove level players, Christian Walker, and Gabriel Moreno. So I don't think their doing too bad, and the fact that they are in the 2nd Wild Card spot, and they have a chance of getting to the 1st Wild Card spot, I don't think they're TOO worried. But they do have to win most of their games to have a perfect chance of making it into the Playoffs. If you can't tell, I'm a fan of them.
I am a pure SF Giants fan and their current skid was easy to see coming as they almost always have a bad July and August. And with all of the injuries on the offense, it was all but a certainty. I don't think it's as bad as last year but I don't see them pulling out of this until near September if at all. But the good Giants teams always wake up in September.
Hardly a collapse. They were playing way in over their heads and as a young team, the league caught up to and scouted their weaknesses and not surprisingly they bottomed out. The 2012 Pirates were worse. Started 58-42, third best record in the NL on pace for 94 wins with a 2 game lead over Atlanta finishing 21-41 over their final 62 to finish with 79 wins. I’d love to see a video on then.
As long we don’t get real pitchers not these baby face 91mph guys we will never be a serious contender also fire torey lovullo he changes the line up as soon as a guy goes on a hot streak
Haha I've been a lifelong Dbacks fan since I was born in Phoenix... I was complaining and not trusting in my skipper when I posted this comment. I've been on absolute cloud nine this WHOLE postseason💯 @@Zark_Moneybags69 SNAKES ALIVE
The Orioles franchise yawns at these collapses 2002: reached 63-63 in mid August. Finished 4-32. 1986: 2.5 games out in early Aug. Hit 2 grand slams in a game and lose. Finished 14-42. 2005: 4 games up in 1st on Father's Day. Finished in 4th place. 1989: up by 7 games in Aug. Decide that Keith Moreland is the missing piece. Fall behind Toronto in Sept and eliminated in last weekend These are just what I can think of on no sleep. There are many others.
I’m a dbacks fan and watched them my life, they’re always like this. They have a good first half and suck the second half. I had perfect expectations for the dbacks
I remember in the beginning of the season, they were talking so much crap when they beat the Dodgers. How they were going to run away with the division 😅... I knew in the end they wouldn't be on top. Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint.
this team was never a good team and anyone that thought so only understood baseball at a superficial level. they were leading the nl west with an even run differential; they were just extremely lucky in close games. now that luck has run out and they're where they should be - under 500 with a negative run differential. this is just regressing to their talent level.
Some teams handle success worse than they handle failure. This is why teams with great leadership like Dodgers, Giants, Cardinals, Red Sox, Yankees etc are historically great. It’s about creating a culture of winning and knowing what winning looks like.
Yeah my Dbacks were doing good then all of a sudden just typical dbacks. Been a fan since 1998 my dad even took me to the very first dbacks game, and besides maybe the years 1999-2002, 2007, 2017 they have been hard to watch. I miss when jerry colangelo owned them. At least he was aggressive in signing talent. He signed Randy Johnson, traded for schilling and so on. Dbacks ownership now not so much. I still have hope for this team though and hopefully Druw Jones gets healthy in minors and can come play with them in the next few years or so
The Dbacks will be the death of me Kliff Kingsbury’s ‘21-‘22 Arizona Cardinals put me in an early grave, and these ‘23 Dbacks are shoveling the dirt on top
it upsets me how tory will put a closer that didn't do good yesterday again the next day which will make them lose the lead. I also love the d-backs but they got to go all in on the starting pitchers.
Thanks for the vid. I'm a Blue Jays fan, and in our fan base, for a lot of the season, there had been lots of envious chatter about how good the Diamondbacks were since we traded Gurriel and Moreno for Varsho. I'd thought a lot of that envy was misplaced, but I didn't foresee the Dbacks collapsing as badly as they did. So, I'd been curious about what was going on over there. It's funny how sports fans think the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Hope the Dbacks can get it together - it's more fun checking in on the NL West when it isn't just dominated by the Dodgers.
I am a huge Diamond Back fan have supported them since day one. The whole COACHING STAFF needs to GO they are terrible the GENERAL MANAGER needs to GO and the OWNER needs to GO. This is the reason we stopped going to their games.
America's team?? I don't think so.. Go to almost any stadium the Dodgers are visiting, and you will find massive clusters of blue in the crowds. Arizona was almost all blue the other night, and you could hear them cheering for the Dodgers. If any team is America's team, it's the Dodgers. Fuck it! Toronto Blue Jay's are America's team! Lmao 🤣
Well its obvios. They are a young team. At first they have energy but them is were the experience kicks in after the 100-120 game mark is were it shows. Give them two more yrs and they will be scary
They're going down the same path as the 2021 reds. But idk if it was as bad as the reds. Cause the Reds had the easiest 2nd half schedule in the league and they had a stacked lineup and a good enough rotation.
Who’s here after they made the World Series

When he doesn't, they are 12 games UNDER .500 that is a good reason why they are doing good, and since they have 2 great main pitchers, Zac Gallen and Meril Kelly, their starters aren't really bad. Since Tommy Pham is now on the D-Backs, Corbin Carrol is Rookie of the Year, and now their closer, Paul Sewald they have already become a really good team, and are still 2nd in their division, and will most likely end off as 2nd in their division, and they have 2 Gold Glove level players, Christian Walker, and Gabriel Moreno. So I don't think their doing too bad, and the fact that they are in the 2nd Wild Card spot, and they have a chance of getting to the 1st Wild Card spot, I don't think they're TOO worried. But they do have to win most of their games to have a perfect chance of making it into the Playoffs. If you can't tell, I'm a fan of them.
WHAT HAPPENNDUHHHHH
HOW DO YOU LOSE TO THE DIAMONDBACKSSSSSUHHH
I am a pure SF Giants fan and their current skid was easy to see coming as they almost always have a bad July and August. And with all of the injuries on the offense, it was all but a certainty. I don't think it's as bad as last year but I don't see them pulling out of this until near September if at all. But the good Giants teams always wake up in September.
Lmaooooo
We are kinda back baby 🥳
🐐👌
Update: We are back FOR REAL REAL😂💪🏽
This hasn't aged well lmao
Torey knew what he cookin.
👀👀👀
Bro I subbed to you like an hour ago and you were at 1.66k subs now you at 1.73k nice job your crazy
Thanks brother 🔥 just gotta keep workin!
@@PurelyBaseballYT yessir
This is the pain of being a Diamondbacks fan. In 2018, the D-Backs won nine straight series to start the season and had diarrhea the rest of the year.
I’m sure it’s better now
Thank you for this video 🙌
Hardly a collapse. They were playing way in over their heads and as a young team, the league caught up to and scouted their weaknesses and not surprisingly they bottomed out. The 2012 Pirates were worse. Started 58-42, third best record in the NL on pace for 94 wins with a 2 game lead over Atlanta finishing 21-41 over their final 62 to finish with 79 wins.
I’d love to see a video on then.
It hurt me just to see this video pop up. Every where I go I can’t escape from it. AZ cannot have anything.
Please do a seg on my padres!
Goodness were crashing with a huge payroll and a stacked roster with superstars.
As long we don’t get real pitchers not these baby face 91mph guys we will never be a serious contender also fire torey lovullo he changes the line up as soon as a guy goes on a hot streak
So true what you said about Louvullo... absolutely atrocious management and playing players that have been HORRIBLEEE
This didn't age well
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha I've been a lifelong Dbacks fan since I was born in Phoenix... I was complaining and not trusting in my skipper when I posted this comment.
I've been on absolute cloud nine this WHOLE postseason💯 @@Zark_Moneybags69
SNAKES ALIVE
Can you make a video about the Cardinals downfall
Of course! I’ve had more Cardinals fans asking for a vid more than anyone. Its comin
The Orioles franchise yawns at these collapses
2002: reached 63-63 in mid August. Finished 4-32.
1986: 2.5 games out in early Aug. Hit 2 grand slams in a game and lose. Finished 14-42.
2005: 4 games up in 1st on Father's Day. Finished in 4th place.
1989: up by 7 games in Aug. Decide that Keith Moreland is the missing piece. Fall behind Toronto in Sept and eliminated in last weekend
These are just what I can think of on no sleep. There are many others.
I’m a dbacks fan and watched them my life, they’re always like this. They have a good first half and suck the second half. I had perfect expectations for the dbacks
I remember in the beginning of the season, they were talking so much crap when they beat the Dodgers. How they were going to run away with the division 😅... I knew in the end they wouldn't be on top. Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint.
Same goes for a lot of teams. Running a sprint in the beginning, failing mid marathon (Pirates and many more
Every fan reaction to a team doing bad is the managers fault. The obvious answer is depth. You cannot realy on 1 or 2 guys or a handful of pitchers.
Yea thats a pretty big one, especially for them
As an AZ sports fan, I’ve come to expect this.
this team was never a good team and anyone that thought so only understood baseball at a superficial level. they were leading the nl west with an even run differential; they were just extremely lucky in close games. now that luck has run out and they're where they should be - under 500 with a negative run differential. this is just regressing to their talent level.
What is baseball at a deep level then?
Some teams handle success worse than they handle failure.
This is why teams with great leadership like Dodgers, Giants, Cardinals, Red Sox, Yankees etc are historically great.
It’s about creating a culture of winning and knowing what winning looks like.
Man. they should have gotten rid of Torey a couple years ago !
Absolutely!
Yeah my Dbacks were doing good then all of a sudden just typical dbacks. Been a fan since 1998 my dad even took me to the very first dbacks game, and besides maybe the years 1999-2002, 2007, 2017 they have been hard to watch. I miss when jerry colangelo owned them. At least he was aggressive in signing talent. He signed Randy Johnson, traded for schilling and so on. Dbacks ownership now not so much. I still have hope for this team though and hopefully Druw Jones gets healthy in minors and can come play with them in the next few years or so
bro your account is popping off rn
what a title to put into perspective that baseball is anyone game
Yep, best part about it
Not mentioning the struggles of Lourdes Gurriel Jr is crazy for this video.
This sounds somewhat like my Padres. The addition of Pham is going to shake things up….one way or another.
The Dbacks will be the death of me
Kliff Kingsbury’s ‘21-‘22 Arizona Cardinals put me in an early grave, and these ‘23 Dbacks are shoveling the dirt on top
Where u at now
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@Zark_Moneybags69
I’m back and over the moon lol
it upsets me how tory will put a closer that didn't do good yesterday again the next day which will make them lose the lead. I also love the d-backs but they got to go all in on the starting pitchers.
Thanks for the vid. I'm a Blue Jays fan, and in our fan base, for a lot of the season, there had been lots of envious chatter about how good the Diamondbacks were since we traded Gurriel and Moreno for Varsho. I'd thought a lot of that envy was misplaced, but I didn't foresee the Dbacks collapsing as badly as they did. So, I'd been curious about what was going on over there. It's funny how sports fans think the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Hope the Dbacks can get it together - it's more fun checking in on the NL West when it isn't just dominated by the Dodgers.
I am a huge Diamond Back fan have supported them since day one. The whole COACHING STAFF needs to GO they are terrible the GENERAL MANAGER needs to GO and the OWNER needs to GO. This is the reason we stopped going to their games.
Pretty regular season for dbacks just happy they are .500 rn
America's team??
I don't think so..
Go to almost any stadium the Dodgers are visiting, and you will find massive clusters of blue in the crowds.
Arizona was almost all blue the other night, and you could hear them cheering for the Dodgers.
If any team is America's team, it's the Dodgers.
Fuck it! Toronto Blue Jay's are America's team! Lmao 🤣
The Padres have something to say about that.
Well its obvios. They are a young team. At first they have energy but them is were the experience kicks in after the 100-120 game mark is were it shows. Give them two more yrs and they will be scary
If they even bother panning out...
Every year in AZ it’s the bullpen. Acquire more starters and make them the bullpen
Ironically they’re only 1.5 games out of the 3rd wild card spot, they could still make it
Not even the worst collapse of the year and we’re still in the race… also still exceeding expectations.
Usually what happens with young teams
Reds and Dbacks should have added some veteran SP
Arizona is a fluke, great video and analysis. I’m thinking where is Madison Bumgamer? I know he was released by Dbaks in April.
Dodgers were the fluke as allways
Bro a huge thunderstorm is coming to my area 60 mph wind gusts and hail
Must be nice
@@TTundragrizzly not sure a severe thunderstorm is fun
Ahh, stay safe. Have had a few rough storms lately as well out here
@@PurelyBaseballYT thank you! Also congrats on all the success on this baseball channel
New video idea: New worst collapse in baseball. Featuring the diamondbacks again
They started to fall off after getting swept by the mets
Mets ruined their franchise rip
As soon as you make this, they win 5 of their next 6
😂 Red Sox did the same thing. Maybe i should start to make negative videos on teams i want to do well?
Pretty sure that title belongs to the pirates
Good first half then falling off is a Dbacks tradition!
2008 and 2018 teams comes to mind
More like Arizona tradition
Channels growing so fast! Way to go
Thanks brother!! Only up from here
Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. Teams are exposed over time.
They're going down the same path as the 2021 reds. But idk if it was as bad as the reds. Cause the Reds had the easiest 2nd half schedule in the league and they had a stacked lineup and a good enough rotation.
The diamondbacks ALWAYS tank after the Allstar break, ALWAYS
The Diamondback way
In 2019 they were better after the break/trade deadline, in 2022 they were better after both as well.
This is literally the story of every Dbacks season
This didn't age well
🤣🤣🤣
