2023 LCS Game/Discussion Thread: Battle of Texas, Philly vs NL West WC Redux

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Tucker going to be a meme

Boy or girl?

 

[joe dokes]

Time for radio.

 

[JOBU]

Lol. I’m thoroughly enjoying this

[SemperFidelisSox]

So no division winners in the World Series.

Sad astronauts.

I just left Houston yesterday and currently sit in a bar in San Antonio. As best I can tell from the locals, the hierarchy of baseball importance in Houston goes:

1. Little League (they stream their games!)
2. High School
3. College, maybe even Rice
4. Their local bar league
5. Astros

Astros circling the bowl

Memo to Fox: don’t try to copy those awesome SportsCenter ads.

Hit it to the Mookie Joe West fan interference seats.

Im sure this isnt new, but radio guys said that Bochy has never lost a series after going up 1-0 and is 5-0 in winner-take-all games.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Love the first pitch swinging

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Bruce Bochy. Wins with orange teams. Beats orange teams. Born in France. Loves Ritz crackers.

 

[bosockboy]

This might vault Bochy to the “greatest manager in the last 25-30 years” spot. Maybe longer.

Wears a size 8 1/8 cap.

Hat size over 8.

Jordu beat me to it.

Do we know if his eyes are the same color?

I made up the Ritz crackers thing, by the way. But it’s still probably true. Ritz crackers are delicious.

Club crackers are so much better than Ritz.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

From what I can tell, only Dick Williams has managed three different franchises to World Series berths. I actually didn’t know he managed the 1984 Padres.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

You should take it up with Bruce Bochy.

 

[derekson]

Is this game Chapman proof?

I wouldn't mind seeing him give up 3-4 runs.

 

[LogansDad]

Okay, Houston, you can score 5 or 6 runs now.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Why is Tito using Pedro in this spot?

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Same score now as 2004 game 7

 

[Max Power]

Wears a size 8 1/8 cap.

The Hall of Fame is going to blow their bronze budget making his plaque.

 

[Ale Xander]

That's still Francona

 

[Ale Xander]

HOT


DOG

 

[derekson]

Garcia just doesn't know how to stop hitting home runs right now.

The boos are going to rain down when he gets the MVP

 

[LogansDad]

Ermagahd

 

[loshjott]

You just have to love it.

 

[canderson]

Garcia might need an escort to the bus.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ranger fans taking over.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Where’d this guy come from?

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Wow

 

[Wingack]

I wish he showboated that one.

 

[bosockboy]

That's still Francona

3 rings and 3 different franchises to WS.

 

[Ale Xander]

Based on the lack of enthusiasm on the high five, I don't think Garcia likes Chapman very much

 

[Ale Xander]

Where’d this guy come from?

Cuba

 

[DeadlySplitter]

The Astros were just a bit worse across the board this year. Still the class of the AL and I thought they'd make it to the WS again, but not surprising that they're falling just short. They really needed to win last night to not have to rely on Javier still being good, and ... they had to rely on their shitty bench with Jon Singleton.

I am still confused how the Rangers are this good. I still have my doubts.

 

[Ale Xander]

Tilman isn't paying any attention to the game anymore

 

[stp130]

Looking back, maybe Houston shouldn't have thrown at Garcia.

Could you get a resume in front of Fox baseball producers please?

Big Nate Eovaldi makes everyone better

 

[LogansDad]

Lots of folks behind home plate put their seat costumes on after that one.

 

[loshjott]

I’m already looking forward to rooting against the Astros in the 2024 ALCS.

 

[canderson]

A Texas v Arizona World Series would be hilarious and add. The WS should feature fans in coats.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Not as fun as seeing the Philly fans file out.

but fun, still.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

The Bochy dossier is hundreds of pages. Single spaced.

He lived at the Panama Canal.

 

[Wingack]

Not sure this game is Chapman proof yet.

Trust me on this.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Gotta love the fact that Astors fans must be as sick of Garcia at this point as pretty much every other baseball fan is of the Astors.
