2023 LDS Game/Discussion Thread

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Oh, Joe.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

You could steal home on Joe.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

There you go!

 

[E5 Yaz]

There you go!

You seem to be rooting for the wrong team

 

[Van Everyman]

Yeah who the fuck is rooting for the LAD here?

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Don’t really care one way or the other. I’m enjoying seeing all the ex-Red Sox.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Yeah who the fuck is rooting for the LAD here?

Brusdar Graterol’s mom.

Which would also be a good name for a band.

 

[derekson]

Yeah who the fuck is rooting for the LAD here?

I'm rooting for them in this game because I just want more baseball and a 1-1 series is better.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Maybe the poster is rooting against Tommy Pham? Did we think about that? We can stand a lot of transgressions but physical violence over fantasy sports is a bridge too far.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Mookie found the one Dback that can’t field.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This hasn't felt good for the D-backs since Gallen went out.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Great BABIP, go ahead and help Mookie out. Like he needs it already.

 

[LogansDad]

Have to make that play.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Fredric about to go nuts?

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

What a spray chart on Freeman's doubles this year.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

The fortunes of Mariano Rivera didn’t wax and wane in the playoffs, Bob?

The Dbacks would like a word. As would the Dodgers‘ skipper.

 

[LogansDad]

Ouch

 

[shawnrbu]

Remember Jermaine Dye?

 

[E5 Yaz]

One good thing about Costa, he always has mad fun of himself when he errs

 

[shawnrbu]

Freeman’s helmet almost beat the throw to the base.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I thought Freeman had Thompson sized up but then he threw that low slop. Fredrick couldn't resist.

 

[Max Power]

Heisenberg used some of that meth money to get great seats behind the plate.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Dbacks were so unlikely to make the playoffs that they scheduled concerts for Chase field on potential division series dates. Pink is there tonight, and GnR had to switch venues because they were scheduled there Wednesday.

 

[derekson]

The bullpen usage is so weird in these NLDS games with a day off before and after Game 2

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Kind of surprised the Dodgers haven't signed JBJ, Brock Holt, and Steve Pearce.
Hector Velazquez threw 28 IP for Yucatan this year, but they didn't bring him in either.

Mitch Moreland would complete the set.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Mitch Moreland and trading a bunch of prospects for Chris Sale would complete the set.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Wait, Apple made a phone out of one of Earth’s most common elements? That’s fucking crazy.

Also cool that if your driver breaks on 16, you can finish the round with your phone.

 

[E5 Yaz]

What's a Ginkel?

 

[derekson]

What's a Ginkel?

This apparently.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Shehadi has been really good,

 

[E5 Yaz]

Shehadi has been really good,

Agreed

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Ginkel is also pretty damn filthy.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Ginkel is also pretty damn filthy.

Have to make him throw strikes.

Once again, laying off balls = win in the playoffs.

Case in point, your old friend JDM

Edit: But then Chris Taylor commits the worst thing of all time

 

[derekson]

Swing at the first pitch after a walk; brilliant.

 

[LogansDad]

Pretty sure this stands

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Darling is wrong. Ball does not need to be in back of webbing. Batter is out as soon as ball touches glove, if ultimately caught.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

The law firm of Saalfrank, Ginkel & Sewald will help YOU get your rightful playoff victories!

Yeah, Dodgers‘ approach is like Gallen is still in the game. The Dbacks’ bullpen is beatable, but the Dodgers, like the Brewers, seem hell bent on getting themselves out.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The law firm of Saalfrank, Ginkel & Sewald will help YOU get your rightful playoff victories!

They FIGHT for YOU!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Evan on Evan crime

 

[derekson]

Biggest issue for the Dodgers is going to be that they have Kiké, Outman, and Kolten Wong due up in the 9th

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Wow. Taking Longoria out with three outs to get? Do not like.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Double steal here would be awesome.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Gak, these guys swinging at first pitches in key spots

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Bob Costas pining for pitchers throwing extra pitches. Man shakes fist at cloud!!!

Meanwhile, Marte was swinging first pitch no matter what.

 

[derekson]

There's our Kiké!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Freeman saved a run there.

 

[LogansDad]

Can't believe Kiké didn't throw that into the seats.
