After the Diamondbacks swept the Brewers and advanced to face the Dodgers in the NLDS, Phoenix Suns head coach Frank Vogel and star guard Devin Booker were questioned about their thoughts on Arizona.
It’s great,” Vogel exclaimed. Since meeting (Diamondbacks manager) Torey (Lovullo) this summer, I’ve grown to respect and admire both him as a professional and as a person.
He also praised Lovullo’s postgame address, which went viral (watch it below).
“That was a really cool incident. Let’s go Dodgers, bring it on. “Paraback! Goback! Go! Goback! Goback! Vogel remarked.
Booker has expressed an interest in watching a game, but this seems quite improbable. The D-backs would have a home game on either next Wednesday or Thursday if the Suns didn’t have a game in Portland the day before.The first game of the D-backs’ series against the Dodgers is set for 6:20 p.m. MST on Saturday, while the Suns’ first preseason game will be played at noon MST on Sunday in Detroit.
