The Arizona Diamondbacks have a lot to be proud of after an incredible, unlikely run to the 2023 World Series, even if they came up short against the Texas Rangers.
That includes manager Torey Lovullo, who was of course heartbroken after watching his team fall short on Wednesday. In speaking with reporters after the Game 5 loss, he was asked how many days it would take before thinking about the 2024 season.
His reply?
“I just want to run away and hide for few days. I want to go camping and just sit in the tent and suck my thumb, and eat ice cream. Is that the weirdest answer? … I want to hurt because I want to remember what this feels like, cause I never want to feel this again.”
