D-backs pitcher Zac Gallen absolutely crushed a trash-talking Phillies fan with a single tweet

Zac Gallen Phillies Dbacks

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.

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
