Philadelphia fans heartbroken after Phillies lose NLCS

That's, as you might imagine, not the outcome we wanted to be talking about this morning. The bank went quiet last night as Arizona stunned the Phillies 4-2. The fans are likely still queasy, waking up hoping it was just a nightmare. Arizona entered the season with 125-1 odds that they would make the World Series. They are riding that Cinderella status, preparing to face the Rangers, while the Phillies will watch from home. They probably will be like this the whole time. I just can't look. We have team coverage this morning. Catherine Scott has reaction from the fans. But we're going to go first to Jamie Apote and hear what the players themselves had to say after the loss. Well, this is not the scene we expected to see. The Diamondbacks and their families partying into the wee hours of the morning. And not the Phillies. No, they are packing their bags because their season is over. Up two games to none in this series. Up one run in the seventh inning of Game 3. Up three runs in the eighth inning of Game 4. Up three games to two with two chances to clinch at home. And they just couldn't get it done. It's a heartbreaking story. It's a Philadelphia story. And here's what the guy had to say afterwards. Any time you lose, it doesn't feel right. And it felt just as sickening last year as it does this year. We were two wins away last year. This year we were five wins away. It will never feel right. It never does. It never will. That's why you just got to use this as much motivation as you can going into offseason to make sure that we come in next year and we're ready to go. It sucks when you come in short. I think Kyle's right. Just an offseason of just thinking about it and how it ended. I think it's going to fuel us even more going into next year. Last year you come within a win of the World Series. This time you're so close to getting back. What's the difference in the feelings between the two? It feels pretty much the same. Losing is losing. We set out with one goal this spring training and that was to win a World Series. It wasn't to make the postseason or even get to the World Series. We were wanting to win a World Series, so we fell short of that goal. It's a sucky feeling, but like I said, you just got to tip your caps to those guys over there. We're going to hold our heads high and go into the offseason a little bitter, but hopefully we'll be better next year. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the fans for giving us their all this whole postseason and this whole season as well. They showed up for us, and I know they're going to continue to do that. I know they're hurting right now as much as we are. When we lose, they lose, and we win, they win as well. I know they're hurting, and we are too in here. But again, we'll be back. The numbers that will stick with a lot of those guys and the fans all offseason actually isn't a number. Zero. Zero for 23. That's what Trey Turner, Bryce Harper, and Nick Castellanos did these last two games here at home. I guess there's always next year. In South Philadelphia, Jamie Pote, Channel 6 Action News. Went cold at the wrong time. Fans walked out of the bank dejected and drained, knowing that the Phillies blew a 2-0 lead in the series, failing twice to close it out on their home turf. Now, of course, it wasn't what any of us expected, but many are saying, I know, I know, maybe too soon. We'll be back and better than ever next year. Action News reporter Kathryn Scott joins us live from South Philadelphia with more. Good morning, Kathryn. Good morning, guys. Yeah, that one hit hard last night. Fans were so sure that the Phillies were World Series bound, but it wasn't meant to be this year. Devastated, you know. We're up 2-0. We were talk of the entire sports world, and we just collapsed. What are you going to do? They were the wild card, so we're happy we made it this far. We obviously would have loved to see them go further, but, you know, next year. To next year after last night's heartbreaking loss, the first game, seven in 141 years in Phillies baseball, and fans were looking for the Phillies to close out this series in front of the home crowd. Bars across the area were packed, police positioned, and poles greased in the event of victory celebration. The Phillies entered this series riding high, and they won the first two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Things started to get rocky, dropping two on the road, but there still were two chances to win at home. It didn't happen. Fans left the ballpark and bars last night in disbelief that the Phillies are not headed to the World Series. It was really disappointing to come back at six and seven and lose at home, and we'll get them next year. Go, Birds! They weren't hitting, left too many men on base, didn't play small ball, and just tried to hit them runs. I think they should have switched around the lineup up. I think they should have worked the pitchers out more in the beginning, maybe moving Rojas up in the beginning. It's been a great two years. Proud to be a Philly fan, man, always and forever. And back here live at a quiet ballpark this morning, you could hear the fans there. They saw adjustments that needed to be made, but they still have a whole lot of pride in the Phillies. For Live at the Bank, Kathryn Scott, Channel 6 Action News. All right, Kathryn.
