The Arizona Diamondbacks shocked the entire baseball-watching world with their run through the postseason and the franchise’s first National League pennant since 2001. And to get to that World Series, the D-backs had to go through an ultra-confident Phillies team and fan base.
So, you can’t really blame the D-backs players for enjoying those two straight wins at Citizens Bank Park … even if it meant a brutal awakening for Phillies fans.
Though D-backs ace Zac Gallen struggled in the postseason, Phillies fans didn’t have much room to talk considering the team *just* got eliminated. That didn’t stop one Phillies fan from trying, though, and Gallen needed just one tweet to send the account private.
Zac Gallen isn’t holding back today.
That’s my pitcher. pic.twitter.com/7YEFGRuwWT

When a Phillies fan tried to tell Gallen that he went 0-2 against the Phillies, the D-backs pitcher sent the account a Google screenshot for Phillies spring training tickets. You know, just in case the fan wanted tickets for the Phillies’ next game.
Yeah, don’t mess with D-backs players if you’re a Phillies fan. It won’t end well.
This was how Twitter reacted
That’s my ace pitcher! https://t.co/H7ZqcVnQq3 pic.twitter.com/bkqz6UhtwY
