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

[donutogre]

Would've at least liked to see a baserunner there so the next inning doesn't start with Marsh and then Rojas.

Yup, that’s not ideal at all.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Guessing they'll hit for Rojas ... unless they need a bunt

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

If this was Houston, the fans would be leaving now.

Its Philly. They are staying but they are starting to get nervous

 

[Deweys New Stance]

This game is definitely not going the way the Phightens were expecting. Running out of time.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Is the latter a feature (not a bug)?

Maybe. Just an observation.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Castellanos has completely disappeared.

He stopped hitting in the 2nd half of the regular season, so it makes sense that he stopped hitting in the 2nd half of the postseason.

Fair point.

 

[Ale Xander]

Perdomo looks perdu

edit: nope

 

[E5 Yaz]

Alvarado in the seventh might mean Wheeler in the 8th and/or 9th

 

[Ale Xander]

Wheeler in the 8th and 9th seems like good news for the Rangers

 

[staz]

A run here will cause mass sphincter clenching.

 

[Ale Xander]

There we go

LfG

 

[bosox4283]

Thompson’s decisions haven’t been good tonight.

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s a weird leaderboard

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Buried beneath the Kimbrel implosion - Alvarado is looking like his worst Rays days too

 

[derekson]

Castellanos has completely disappeared.

At least he's making up for it on defense.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Marte has had a really weird career.

 

[Ale Xander]

Just a Jeterian bloop please for 2

 

[Sandwich Pick]

They hate the Phillies being the favorite in general, but especially in a series that should be wrapped up by now.

At least he's making up for it on defense.

It's the one thing he actually did well last postseason.

 

[McBride11]

Dustin!

 

[Ale Xander]

Cmon CC

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Corbin Carroll again!

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s ok
Would have preferred a hit

 

[DeadlySplitter]

That's professional hitting.

 

[Ale Xander]

no Kimbrel?

 

[derekson]

Arizona's getting in runners while Phillies have squandered their chances.

 

[donutogre]

Dustin!

Lol I perked up at that too.

 

[Max Power]

 

[staz]

Xmas ads 61 days out.

 

[LogansDad]

It's Corbin Carroll's league. Nice of him to let everyone else play in it.

 

[Ale Xander]

Dammit

 

[Ale Xander]

Saalfrank sounds like a name of a European Commissioner

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

The Snakes’ rookies . . . My goodness!

 

[LogansDad]

This is a hell of a game.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pache was a hot prospect not too far ago

 

[derekson]

Boiled ass!

 

[strek1]

Phillies might be wishing they had PH for him when the bases were loaded.

 

[Ale Xander]

JFC

horrible

 

[LogansDad]

Abysmal. Absolutely the worst thing. Fuck.

 

[derekson]

Nice AB there to get ball 5.

 

[Ale Xander]

Abysmal. Absolutely the worst thing. Fuck.

Tim MCCarver agrees

 

[LogansDad]

Come on, dude. Fuck

 

[Ale Xander]

Saalfrank is too chicken to throw a Fb

 

[moretsyndrome]

This kid. Oy

 

[Ale Xander]

Potentially huge

 

[JOBU]

Schwarbs getting jobbed by umps tonight

 

[LogansDad]

Wow, that is close.

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s a swing

 

[strek1]

Turner is due.

 

[canderson]

Same swing, 2 different calls.
