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

[Ale Xander]

Try to steal here?

 

[Sandwich Pick]

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

What's frustrating is that one base runner gets Schwarber to the plate.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

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

Wait. You’ve never bet on sports ever? Or like a future at a sports book?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Major Perdomo hot streak continues.

 

[LogansDad]

Wait. You’ve never bet on sports ever? Or like a future at a sports book?

Never. I have never had enough money to even consider it.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Never. I have never had enough money to even consider it.

Smart. Losing hurts worse than winning feels good.

 

[Ale Xander]

Why can’t the Red Sox get pitchers like Strahm?

 

[Ale Xander]

Time to go 4 for 4 lfg

 

[derekson]

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.

I had the same though, especially after Bochy used Montgomery that way.

 

[derekson]

Wait. You’ve never bet on sports ever? Or like a future at a sports book?

I've never bet on sports either.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Buckle up!

 

[LogansDad]

Giddy up.

 

[BornToRun]

I've never bet on sports either.

I stopped early in life once I realized that I always lost. I felt like betting on the Pats was me guaranteeing they’d lose.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I've never bet on sports either.

In middle school, in 1982, I bet some kid $20 that Cincy would win the SuperBowl against the 49ers (i.e., the first SB match-up between those teams). I've never bet on sports again since. (Not because I lost.)

 

[loshjott]

Looks like Timlin.

 

[santadevil]

This is what baseball is all about
Fun game

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Remember earlier in this thread when not signing Nick Castellanos before the ‘22 season was supposed to be some major failure by the Sox FO?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Nick "Big Stick" Blastellanos succumbs quietly in the 9th.

 

[Kliq]

Sewald's body language is giving me anxiety. He looks like he is going to faint.

 

[staz]

2 run lead means Seawald can go after hitters /Costas

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Sewald is pinpoint

 

[Ale Xander]

throw strikes please to this guy

anything except a walk

500 ft hr is better

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

One to go

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Big 76ers Energy

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Walking Cave would be Sewald's folly.

 

[Kliq]

Harper cost himself showing up to the game with a Pat Beverley jersey. Talk about loser energy.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Better off having Nick Cave hit

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Jake Cave is a bad seed.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

That 92-93

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sewald throws strikes .novel concept

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Holy shit!

 

[Ale Xander]

Thank you, Mariners,

Your franchise will always suck.

 

[staz]

Wow.

 

[canderson]

A Texas vs Arizona World Series, just like everyone predicted last offseason and the series MLB wants!

 

[JOBU]

Fuck yeah. Booing Philly fucks lol.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Taste it, Mad Dog.

 

[loshjott]

Yes!

 

[ifmanis5]

The bank job is complete. Great heist.

 

[Ale Xander]

This does take about 0.00001% of the sting out of the Clement no-catch catch and the Brady fumble

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

What a great WS matchup

 

[Ale Xander]

A Texas vs Arizona World Series, just like everyone predicted last offseason and the series MLB wants!

Good result for the gas stations in New Mexico

 

[Catcher Block]

I was fully expecting a beer, soda, or pizzer to be thrown at the outfielder as he camped under that.

 

[LogansDad]

What a performance by the Arizona pitchers in the last 30 hours. Wow.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Fox executives really looking forward to the blockbuster ratings a Texas/Arizona WS will bring in.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pfaadt looks about 14.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Gonna be a glorious day at work tomorrow

 

[derekson]

Hell of a game even if I was rooting for Philly in this series.

Not sure who to go for in the WS other than rooting for another Game 7.

 

[Kliq]

Hugely impressive victory for the Diamondbacks. Especially winning the last two games in Philadelphia. Did it with good pitching, a strong bullpen and timely hitting. A tale as old as time.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Carroll came alive.

Road teams 4-0 in elimination games in the NLCs.

 

[LogansDad]

Fox executives really looking forward to the blockbuster ratings a Texas/Arizona WS will bring in.

People who tune out because it's these teams aren't real baseball fans. Both teams are really, really fun.
