MLB fans roast Torey Lovullo after D-backs manager takes a dig at Phillies crowd: "Dude has huge loser energy to him"

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo has to pull his team together after a disappointing Game 1 loss on Friday in the World Series.

Corey Seager hit a monster two-run home run to tie the game and send it to extras. A few innings later, Adolis Garcia hit a walk-off home run to give the Rangers a 1-0 edge in the series.

Home-field advantage was in play as Rangers fans packed the stadium on Friday. Torey Lovullo was taken aback by just how loud the fans were throughout the game.

He said:

"That was easily the loudest crowd noise I ever heard."

Fans certainly were not happy with Lovullo's comments as they seemed it to be a dig at Philaldelphia Phillies' crowd whom the Diamondbacks faced in a thrilling NLCS.

Diamondbacks' have been the underdogs in this year's playoffs, pulling off upsets after upsets and Phillies have been their most recent victim. Diamondbacks aren't expected to be favourites against Rangers but given the postseason they have had, anything can happen.

D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo desperately needs a win in Game 2

Torey Lovullo and the D-Backs almost escaped Game 1 with a victory. They could not have been in a better spot, up two and giving the ball to their closer, Paul Sewald, in the ninth inning.

However, Corey Seager was sitting dead-red on a fastball and got his pitch. He smoked a two-run shot to tie the game, which sent fans into a frenzy. Later, when Adolis Garcia hit the walk-off, the roof almost exploded with excitement.

Arizona desperately needs to get a win on Saturday. Going down 0-2 in the series would have the team's backs against the wall, with Max Scherzer scheduled to start Game 3 on Monday.

All eyes will be on D-Backs starter Merrill Kelly on Saturday. He has been excellent in the postseason and needs to give his team a quality start.

Arizona must come out and score early, but that is easier said than done. It will face Jordan Montgomery, who has yet to lose a game in the postseason.
