"Changes that bullpen around when you feel like you don't have an effective Kimbrell."

Where have I heard that before?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Lourdes had mercy on Wheeler.

 

[Ale Xander]

Phila playing some
d this inning

 

[LogansDad]

Oh my god what a catch.

 

[simplicio]

Turner just hoping to catch that anywhere on his body.

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Arizona reminds me of 2003 Marlins.

"Changes that bullpen around when you feel like you don't have an effective Kimbrell."

Where have I heard that before?

Atlanta, San Diego, Boston, Chicago, Chicago, Los Angeles

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

That’s a ridiculous catch by Turner

 

[Ale Xander]

Whatever happens here, Zona should have started Pavin i thought

 

[Max Power]

Arizona reminds me of 2003 Marlins.

If Steve Bartman were in Philly, he wouldn't have gotten out alive.

 

[Ale Xander]

Now THIs is a game

 

[Reverse Curve]

Nice catch by Turner. Thought that was a tweener for sure.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Arizona reminds me of 2003 Marlins.

Or one of those SF wildcard champs with a good setup guy and closer.

 

[LogansDad]

Atlanta, San Diego, Boston, Chicago, Chicago, Los Angeles

And he's still a Hall of Famer. What a weird sport.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Baseball is good

We were like a toenail away from Kimbrell’s career arch turning out completely different than it is seen today

That Marlins team was real young and underdog spoilers…that’s where I see similarities

 

[Al Zarilla]

Who's counting down outs?

 

[canderson]

That pitch moved like crazy

 

[Ale Xander]

Who's counting down outs?

Sons of Erubiel Durazo

 

[Ale Xander]

I like this Ginkel fella

 

[strek1]

Philly hitters have really chased some terrible pitches in this game.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sons of Erubiel Durazo

Good one.

 

[Wingack]

Would love to be in the same room as Mad Dog right now.

 

[derekson]

Boiled ass.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

If you told me a year ago that Pfaadt and Ginkel would be leading a team to a G7 victory, I would have had no idea what you were talking about.

 

[loshjott]

Wow is right.

 

[canderson]

I want Ginkel on the Red Sox. Hot damn.

 

[jmcc5400]

Jesus, what a dominant inning.

 

[Ale Xander]

F yes
F yes
F yes

 

[LogansDad]

WOW GINKEL

 

[BigSoxFan]

3 more

 

[Max Power]

The Phillies seem to have started to play cricket. In baseball it's generally not a good idea to swing at the ones that bounce.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Ginkel was flat out dominant

 

[Al Zarilla]

Phillies hitters are tighter than ...

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Nasty pitches

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Baseball is wild sometimes. Who would have ever guessed a possible DBack/Rangers WS?

 

[BornToRun]

"Changes that bullpen around when you feel like you don't have an effective Kimbrell."

Where have I heard that before?

The fall of 2018 is a puckering I will never forget. He was a mess all October and somehow never blew a game.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Phillies trying to hit a 3 run HR with no one on base.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The Phillies crowd is giving off a worse vibe than that fucking Wonka prequel.

 

[derekson]

That should do it. Sewald will be facing a cold Castellanos, Marsh, and Pache with (at least) a 2 run lead.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

What kind of odds could you have gotten on a Texas/Arizona World Series back in March?

 

[LeoCarrillo]

I want Ginkel on the Red Sox. Hot damn.

Yeah, talking about Philly squander isn’t recognizing how good Ginkel is.

 

[Ale Xander]

Need some insurance

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I can't fault Phillies hitters for chasing those pitches. They start at the top of the zone and then the bottom drops off right at the dish.

 

[LogansDad]

Great job by Wheeler, too. Dude is a beast.

 

[mikeot]

Ginkel with the gateway to the Series.

 

[LogansDad]

What kind of odds could you have gotten on a Texas/Arizona World Series back in March?

No joke, I have never laid money on sports. I thought about putting a bit on Arizona in March.

 

[Al Zarilla]

That should do it. Sewald will be facing a cold Castellanos, Marsh, and Pache with (at least) a 2 run lead.

Think 1986.

 

[loshjott]

Great job by Wheeler, too. Dude is a beast.

In the pregame Pedro said Phils should go to Wheeler in a close game early. If he’d gone I’m after Suarez, maybe AZ isn’t up by two now.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

You take that BACK! That film will be great
