- Torey Lovullo very emotional after losing World Series in post game press conference
"This is painful. This is just plain painful. And I can't quite move past that right now. But I will. I told the guys to absorb it and process it the right way, don't compartmentalize it, don't put it away. Think about how you feel when you get to that point and we'll get to that crossroads at some point and be able to say, wow, this was a great run. And we did some pretty amazing. I want to run away and hide for a few days. I want to go camping and just sit in the tent and suck my thumb (laughter) and eat ice cream. Is that the weirdest answer you guys have ever had? And just let it run its course the way it's supposed to. Hurt when I'm supposed to hurt. Cry when I'm supposed to cry. Feel good when I'm supposed to feel good. But when I wake up on that one morning, whenever it is, it could be a week from now, 10 days from now, it's going to be a little while. I know that. And I want to hurt. I want to hurt, because I want to remember what this feels like because I never want to feel it again. Everybody knows that feeling I'm talking about, whether it's personal, something personal or something professional, you want to move off of these moments. But I'm not going to run away from it."
Texas Rangers won their first World Series title, defeating the
Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 in Game 5. The Rangers, who were
established in Texas in 1972, snapped a 51-year drought, winning a
World Series in their 52nd year. The Rangers entered the Major League
Baseball as an expansion team prior to the 1961 season, playing as the
Washington Senators from 1961-1971. The Senators/Rangers franchise
snapped a 62-year drought without winning a World Series. It was the
third-longest drought for a franchise to win its first World Series behind
a 77-year drought for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1903-1979 and a
63-year drought for the Baltimore Orioles from 1903-1965.
Overall, the Senators’/Rangers’ 62-year drought was the sixth-longest
in Major League history. The longer droughts include: 107 years by
the Chicago Cubs from 1909-2015; 87 years by the Chicago White Sox
from 1918-2004; 85 years by the Boston Red Sox from 1919-2003; 77
years by the Philadelphia Phillies from 1903-1979; and 75 years by the
Cleveland Guardians franchise from 1949-2023.
Shortstop Corey Seager won the Willie Mays World Series Most
Valuable Player of the 2023 World Series. During the World Series he
batted .286 (6-for-21) with three home runs, six RBI, one double, three
walks, a .375 on-base percentage, a .762 slugging percentage, and a
1.137 OPS.
It is the second time he won Willie Mays World Series MVP, after also
winning in 2020 as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Seager is
the fourth player to win multiple Willie Mays World Series MVP, joining:
Sandy Koufax of the 1963 and 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers; Bob
Gibson of the 1964 and 1967 St. Louis Cardinals; and Reggie Jackson
of the 1973 Oakland Athletics and 1977 New York Yankees. Seager is the
first infielder of the group to win multiple World Series MVP awards. He
is also the first of the four multiple time winners to win with a team in
each league.
Seager is one of seven shortstops (eight occurrences) all-time to take
home the award, joining: Bucky Dent of the 1978 New York Yankees;
Alan Trammell of the 1984 Detroit Tigers; Derek Jeter of the 2000
Yankees; David Eckstein of the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals; Edgar
Renteria of the 2010 San Francisco Giants; and Jeremy Peña of the
2022 Houston Astros.
For the 4th time in his career, Bruce Bochy has managed a team to
a World Championship. Bochy previously won with the San Francisco
Giants in 2010, 2012 and 2014. His four World Series titles are tied
for third most as a manager in MLB history with Walter Alston and
Joe Torre of the New York Yankees. Connie Mack of the Philadelphia
Athletics is second on the list with five World Series rings. Joe McCarthy
and Casey Stengel both managed the Yankees to seven World Series
wins, tied for the most-ever World Series titles by a manager.
Bochy is the third manager all-time to win a World Series at the helm
of both an American League and National League team. He joins: HOF
Tony La Russa, who won with the Oakland Athletics in 1989 and the
St. Louis Cardinals in 2006 and 2011; and HOF Sparky Anderson, who
won with the Detroit Tigers in 1984 and the Cincinnati Reds in 1975
and 1976

Wow! Ranger fan here and I have a ton of respect for this guy. Jesus, what a class act. I feel his hurt and I’m amazed how candid he is. What a cool dude and great human being.
Same. This was hard to listen to. That fucking pain losing is the worst. Couldn't imagine being the manager
Yup… on the other hand fuck the rangers 😭🤣
Perfectly said.
As a Rangers fan who suffered through the 2011 loss, I can feel his pain. What a classy guy.
Yeah well clearly the rangers pitching coach does not feel the same considering he thought it would be cool to call an opposing player a dumb ****
As a lifelong Rangers fan I feel your pain. Y'all played a helluva postseason and you were a worthy opponent. I look forward to playing y'all again in the Fall Classic!
Worthy opponent? Are you kidding me? DBacks were horrible .Once you beat the Astros, rest was a cakewalk.
@@MrRibby88They beat Bryce Harper Kyle Schwarber and dat red hot Phillies team definitely a worthy opponent
@@sv-og7qs not taking anything away from the Rangers at all. They are the best team in MLB, Let’s just say as a Braves fan it was much more entertaining watching the ALCS than the WS,
well saif brother... see you at the parade!!!!!~
Zac Gallen was on fire last night, but the Rangers bided their time and struck hard when it mattered.
As a lifelong Rangers fan I have nothing but respect for this manager and D - backs team! You guys had a hell of a run
As a lifelong Rangers fan I have waited so long for their first World Series win.
The D-backs had a great season and their skipper Torey is a total class act. Best to you all.
1st thing I wanna say to all the Rangers fan on here is Thank You all and Congratulations on this great series! Thank you for your amazing comments towards Tory and the Diamondbacks team, thank you for The Massive amount of Respect shown to Arizona. Was tearing up 🥲 seeing how much people just love the game. I’m Forever a fan of the Rangers after the amount of gratitude coming from Texas. Truly Class act from the state.
Im a Die Hard D-Backs fan and Tory you have had my 💯 respect 🫡 watching you manage and the D backs all season has been fun and exciting. We wouldn’t want any other manager there but you!!! Your words are of a true man
I've been a Ranger fan all my life...I just want to say...
We love you, Arizona!!! You guys had a hell of a season!!!! Much love from Texas!!!
As a Rangers fan, I can see the pain in his eyes and can tell how much he cares for the game of baseball, he was not afraid to show his tears and he has my respect. Wish him the best for the future
True, and the pain of losing in 2011 I feel was erased with this win.
Took them 62 years as well LOL
Die hard Cubs fan here who was cheering for the Rangers. The Diamondbacks are the team that ended our season. But I just can’t get over how classy, authentic, and personable Torey Lovullo is. What a class act and honestly, the franchise as well. These were two great teams and it was a great WS.
Cubs fan here too. Dbacks are a hell of an organization. But yes they took our soul goggins style in that b2b series in September
Same I am a Die-hard Cubs fan too living in Texas right in Arlington! What is amazing is Ben Zobrist was Christian and so was Evan Carter on the Rangers! :)
Long suffering Rangers fan here. Game 6 of the 2011 WS has stuck with me all these years and while it's so awesome to finally get to experience what it feels like to be WS Champion, my heart absolutely goes out to Lovello and the D-backs organization and fan base. You were a WORTHY opponent and a class act. Best of luck to you in the future and Congrats on a valiant run!
A lot of Ranger fans are commenting, and I'm one of them. As happy as I am at this moment, I can't commend the Diamondbacks enough for the effort of this team. I, as a Ranger fan, will be honored to have a rivalry start for multiple World Series . Please let us play 10 times in a row and split 5 -5. I wish y'all all the best. Much respect to a great team. Y'all made me root for you as my second team behind my Rangers
Very cool to read this comment what a great series
What a class act! Glad my Rangers won, but the Diamondbacks should be thankful to have a coach like this!
Even though I was pulling for the Texas Rangers. The Arizona Diamondbacks are a class organization. They have my utmost respect. Their manager is a class act.
Glad these rangers fans are not like Phillies fans. Thank you guys, I’m a big time Dbacks fan and I can’t be mad at you guys. We both played well but you guys came out on top. Props to getting your first World Series and just showing gratitude the whole way.
?????
The Diamondbacks had a outstanding year! This Manager is one in an million! Outstanding job he knows what’s it’s like & what it’s takes to be a Great Manager! Congratulations for representing the National League Baseball League Arizona Diamondbacks playing in the World Series👏👍😎⚾️
As a Philly fan I gained so much respect for the D'Backs. Their postseason run was so impressive in so many ways. Persistent, courageous, classy, talented intelligent baseball. Really hurting for those guys. The way Lovullo has carried himself in this interview is also commendable. It will take time to absorb this loss, but I'm sure they will be back.
D-backs are very fortunate to have a manager like this! The emotional intelligence of this man is incredible. I’m glad he’s allowing himself and his players to feel their feelings instead of “toughing up” and trying to quickly move on. They will be better players and even people for it.
Lovullos a class act and he has nothing to apologize for. Arizona and their fans should be nothing but proud of their team.
Rangers fan here. Love the raw emotions shining through. Congrats, Diamondbacks, on an amazing season to build upon the future- especially your NLCS victory over the titan Phillies. Use this disappointment to motivate your 2024 season. God bless.
I’m a rangers fan but the beginning had me feeling his pain & proudness for his team. Arizona. You guys are good. You deserved to make the World Series without a hint of a doubt.
Don’t worry. The Diamondbacks already won the World Series in 2001. Hopefully, they continue with great success in the future.
As a Rangers fan, I really hope these Dbacks get a championship!!! What a class act!!!
I mean they still will always have 2001 but yeah
Shout out to Arizona 🏜️ boys have a hell of a young team! All them boys are scary when they are at bat!
Feel bad for him as a Rangers fan Diamondbacks were an amazing team and did not make it easy still never felt comfortable until the final out
So true
Die hard Rangers fan here. Much respect to you, your team and the organization. They made the Rangers earn it, they fought back and they just refused to go away. Those are marks of a great team but also a great leader. I have no doubt these guys bounce back again next year. They had an incredible run. For what it’s worth, you beat the team that everyone wanted in the World Series, that ain’t easy. You single handedly made a bunch of grown men turn into cry babies and say the World Series was gonna be boring. Be proud of that fact. Also, great fans there in Arizona. When you guys came down to Arlington it was a lot of fun even after getting our asses kicked. Met a lot of really nice people and I hope they take some of the success from this season and ride it into next year.
You all were an amazing opponent! I loved watching every minute of the D-backs this post season. My Rangers win against a fantastic team.
As a Rangers fan I feel his pain.
I love how they play baseball.
Thank you Torey! Was at game 4 NLCS, never gonna forget that Alec Thomas homer. Go sneks. Hell of a season. 🐍
They were amazing with an 84-78 record
Love what Lovullo did in AZ and how he did it. How he presents himself to his players goes a long ways.
"I wanna hurt i wanna feel this pain, i wanna remember what this feels like because i never wanna feel this again" know that feeling
I’ll trust me brother we felt it when we lost to the Cardinals in the World Series
Ranger fan here! Ton of respect for this man here! I feel your pain
As a rangers fan, my respect to him and the D backs. What a run and an amazing team. Y’all will have a hell of team for the next few years.
This honestly reminds me of 2016 where most fans wanted both teams to win. This is a tough pill to swallow but the league now knows the D-backs are not to be underestimated. What a season. You guys deserve a lot of respect.
Classy, classy guy. As a Rangers fan, I cannot say enough good things about Torey Lovullo and the entire Diamondbacks organaization. We should all applaud them for their fantastic run. Much respect for that team.
As a Rangers fan, much respect to this guy and the Diamondbacks, what a great season its been for y'all, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Yeah it hurts to lose the World Series, however you got a great leader to lead yall back into the fight next year. Keep those tails up and rattlin! Go Diamondbacks!
Rangers fan here. What a class act. I will be honest here this Diamondbacks team scared me more than all the other teams this postseason. They definitely are a team to watch out for next season.
respects to this man, respects to this whole D-Back community and players. Love from Texas 🙏
Ranger fan here, salute and respect to you sir🙏 good job this season
I’ll be rooting for them if the Rangers aren’t in the picture from now on. Great team. Great manager.
As a lifelong Rangers fan, congrats on a hard-fought World Series. A little over a month ago, just about everybody had counted both of us out - make no mistake, this final series was between two underdog teams, and as incredible as it was to see us finally win it was disheartening to see y'all lose when you didn't deserve it. And thanks to the Arizona fans for being such good hosts to us in the away games (well, home games for you). Hats off to y'all, and we see you next season.
Feel his hurt even as a Rangers fan and he deserves a lot of respect!! You'll come back even stronger next season and thank you for a great series
Congratulations D-backs on a well earned playoff run from a lifelong Rangers fan. Classy organization. What an honest and genuine response from Torey. Heartbroken yet still showing up. Young, talented, persistent hardworking team and y’all have a lot to look forward to. This series felt extremely close despite what the record says. Those boys wouldn’t quit.
Rangers fan here - y’all did an AMAZING job!!! Well-played ⚾️
Im a Rangers fan and been waiting for this victory for a long long time. However this man and D-backs organization is a class act. One of the BEST interviews I have ever seen. He was real, genuine, and heartfelt. Yall will be back next year, thanks for a great series and congrats that you made it this far.
Holy shit. What a class act. The Dbacks should not hang their heads low. What a team and coach. Congrats to the Rangers. They deserve it.
They waited 62 years, they definitely deserved this title
Rangers fan here. I couldn’t be more impressed with Tony and the Diamondbacks organization. He is a class act and clearly is leading his team the right way. Y’all were a worthy opponent and I wish you guys nothing but the best going forward
Long time Dbax fans (over 30 years) Love these guys ! A fantastic, most exciting, heart felt, and definitely classy team and season all around. Lovullo (great coach! ) did his job building this team and spirit with so many talented and also young players. WOW ! And hey, dam right !
Went to the World Series ! Not everyone, or many, gets a chance to do that. See you in the Spring guys ! ⚾
Wow! This man is a true gem! I may have to support the Diamondbacks next year!
Keep them on your radar!!! Very glad you liked the d backs hard effort! What a great series ! Good job rangers!!
Best bunch of players I’ve never heard of. Dbacks are gonna be good for a while. Great interview. Much respect!
Born and raised in Dallas so over the moon thrilled for the Rangers, moved to Phoenix in 2017 and have also became a D Backs fan, can’t wait to see the futures for both my teams.
Tony, you addressed that as well as I have seen, this loss hurts......
The pain is raw but everyone knows what the Snakes accomplished!!
Just an Amazing year.

As a Texas Ranger's fan, D-Backs fans have nothing to be ashamed of. After going through what we went through in 2011, I can feel y'alls pain. That loss broke my heart. Y'all should be proud. Y'all made us earn every bit of this World Series win, and truly were worthy opponents. Plus, it's a glimpse of what y'all have to look forward to next year. Y'all have class and girt, and y'all have our respect...unlike the Astros. It's funny too because the D-Backs are my secondary team I follow. Randy Jackson was who actually got me first interested in baseball, so the D-Backs always had a special place in my heart. Y'all hold your heads high out there. Peace & Love.
Arizona Diamondbacks. Classy team. Classy fans. - rangers fan
Another Rangers fan here with a tip of the cap to Manager Lavullo and his talented team of Diamondback warriors. Tommy Pham is another class act. And that 6 inning no hit performance was lights out. Looking forward to keeping an eye on you in 2024!
Sucks that there has to be someone that loses, especially someone like this and a team like his. It was a valiant performance by them and nothing but class in defeat.
Honestly, it sucks when a team loses the very last game of the baseball season in front of the home crowd.
Respect for a growth man crying like this. I push down all my emotions and tears when they arise. But if you lose the championship, or if your dog dies then let it flow boys. 😢
I really wanted you guys to win and I was so happy you beat the phillies.. but I'm a TEXAS fan and from texas and happy they won their 1st trophy 🏆 My respect and love for you coach.❤ Stay humble and blessed 🙌
I have a ton of respect for this team! They played with a lot of heart and they will be back again next year!
Torey is a very good Doc , he brought classic baseball games back to the NL, WS. He got a group of good boys, he know how to use them in the games. Appreciated and thankful this great team 2023 Diamondbacks.
I believe Torey is the longest tenured manager In Diamondbacks history.
@@danielhetue6968I believe you're right!
@@danielhetue6968 Agreed. 👍👍👍
Rangers fan, but y'all had one of the best postseason runs I have seen in my lifetime. Y'all played your hearts out this series. Hold y'all's heads high, y'all got a lot of postseason runs in the tank. This is just one of many. Y'all have a lot of young talent and an awesome and a class act of a manger. Congratulations on one hell of a season.
Sometimes it is more powerful to lose gracefully men are afraid to show weakness but greater lessons prevail bravo!
We, too, as Rangers fans wanted to suck our thumbs after 2010 and 2011. Tory is a class act, along with the organization and fans. Good luck next season and hope the teams meet again.
As a Rangers fan, The DBacks played a hell of a season. Y'all got all the way to the world series which not a lot of people can say they've done.
Much respect to the Arizona crowd in game 4. Although they were way down by an early score of 10-1, they stayed and remained engaged all the way to the end of the game … which helped fuel an impressive comeback attempt.
Congrats to the Diamondbacks!!! Be proud of yourselves Amazing team. This Braves fan was cheering for y’all. 2024 World Series shall be yours
As a ranger fan here mad respect for yall 👏 yall are a young team had us on the ropes came back from the bottom like us and we eliminated the last year's match up made history!! Keep your head up coach torey and the d backs!!!
rangers fan here and have so much respect for this guy he did what many couldn't do. Props to the D-backs
So proud of our guys..
Being a fan of our Arizona teams is hard but hey it just comes to show we aren’t going anywhere! We have honestly showed so much heart and simply fun of the game. It brought back memories of playing in little league just watching the D-Backs this season. Let’s continue to grow!🐍🤘🏼
Worst sports city in America, I don’t think it’s particularly close anymore. The pain we have been thru since 2001 with all 4 sports is almost indescribable.
Hurts so damn much man I don’t know how long it’s going to take me to get over it. Still not over the 2008 Super Bowl or 2021 Finals. Arizona sports are so brutal.
You can clearly see it on his face.
Failure hurts, but he and the Diamondbacks have nothing to be ashamed of. They came out of nowhere and made me a believer. Next season, they'll be a better ball club and making it back to the World Series won't be a easy road to get back on.
But anything is indeed possible.
Congratulations to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 2023 National League Champions.
Giants fan here. Was rooting for Rangers coz of Bochy and also because I want them to win their 1st WS title. I wish Dbacks the best and I hope they make it to Playoffs again next year coz I’m gonna root for them all the way.
Class act
Class act right here, much respect to the Dbacks and their fan base👏
Losing is tough, man! Ton of respect to him and the D backs.
I have a huge amount of respect for the Dbacks they put up a hell of a fight. Rangers fan here. Thank you guys for a absolutely great series. Keep fighting yall have so much potential, I'd love to come back next year and do it all over again!
When the ALCS and NLCS started I was hoping it would be the Diamondbacks and Rangers. Kudos to Coach Luvollo. He seems like a guy his team loves to play for.
Congratulations to Arizona for one hell of a run. I’m a Ranger fan and know exactly how bad it hurts to almost reach the top. There’s so many emotions I’m feeling right now but I will never forget the pain of almost. I’m rooting for you guys in the future.
Nothing but respect for Arizona Diamondbacks, ya'll had one hell of a season!
As a ranger fan hats off to arizona and there manager and their players
Man these guys are a class act. All round!
The Texas rangers loss from 2010 and 2011 were painful to see,this is a lesson and a learning curve for the dbacks,class act coach.👍
I love that the Rangers won, but I could see the potential and ability on the Dbacks team. If they keep on this trajectory, they’ll be a fierce contender next year and could be holding up that trophy.
My heart still hurts when I watch this. I saw this interview the next morning after we lost. It made me feel better knowing that I wasn't the only one who shed tears that night. I love you Torey one of the greatest interviews ever. We bleed Sedona red.
Keep your heads up guys! Your run was awesome! Class act Torullo.
D-BACKS had a amazing performance in the postseason! With a young team that proved to be a brave! AMAZING TEAM AND MANAGER!!!! GO ARIZONA!!!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️
He helped his team do what no one expected the to do. Weren’t expected to make the playoffs let alone win the NL pennant. They’re gonna come back strong next year.
I'm a ranger fan but u and your team are class act you will be back
Congrats to Arizona and the D-Backs. Y’all are an incredible team with a lot of fight and a lot of heart. Hope to see y’all back in the mix next year.
D backs you will be ready next year , have the faith and it will happen !!!!
I feel for the young team you could see the hurt in the team's faces !
Thank you and God bless you always Amen ❤❤
Ranger fan here and I honestly wanted it for both of us. You guys did great!
As a lifelong Rangers fan, I would have rooted for this DBacks team against anyone else. Underdogs, scrappy, young, stealing bases like candy from a baby…such a cool group of players. They’ll be back-they’re the Answerbacks, after all! 😉
The answer backs!!!!
Congratulations Rangers!! Wow what a series
Much Respect for the D-Backs, players , managers and ownership you guys played a good series.
What a coach!!! Class act my respects a great guy amazing job on Arizona, i like this gentleman on my Red Sox team by the way we have no coach
No shame here, amazing game amazing series, hats off to the Arizona Diamondbacks that came out and played one hell of a series!
Congratulations to the Arizona diamondbacks on such a great run . And thank you for treating us well when we are down there for spring training. From a big dodger fan.
Love and respect the vulnerability he expressed. I was devastated when the Rangers lost in 2011 and I’m just a fan, so I can’t imagine how he feels. This guy is a role model. He seems like a guy you would want your kid to grow up to be like
He brought honor back to the game. We need more of this.
Torey is pure class!
Got nothing but admiration for him and his team, definitely no schadenfreude from me.
So fun to see the Rangers win, but not fun to see these guys lose. What an unbelievable team and fan base. I’ll teach my kids off of these lessons.
What a guy! I feel for him!! They DID a GR8 job...just not their year!!! They're so humble and such good players!!
Seems like very honest and Likable guy. I am a Rangers fan and I do congratulate the Diamond Backs for a good year. And now that I know there manager and players more, I will be following them some next year.
So much credit to the Arizona fans! Yall almost willed them back into game four, just by staying in the stands. Kudos to all of yall in AZ, you all have so much to look forward to with this talented young team.
