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

[Ale Xander]

Kinda wondering what the front offices in LA and San Diego are thinking right now, tbh.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Can’t believe Astros and Philly both went 0-2 at home.

Going to be a fun WS and great that I don’t care who wins.

 

[LogansDad]

Pfaadt MVP?

 

[JOBU]

Who designs these hats? Horrid

 

[patinorange]

Good for Torrey. i thought he was a goner last year.

 

[Ale Xander]

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

I'm really looking forward to this WS.

Win-win situation.

Fun teams, as you correctly say. Good managers, probably my 2 favorite, post-'cona

Texas spent like 8 billion the last two years.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Carroll reminds me of a young Johnny Damon

 

[AB in DC]

Dbacks looks exhausted

 

[canyoubelieveit]

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

"or"?

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Phuck the Phillies

 

[E5 Yaz]

Taste it, Mad Dog.

?

 

[loshjott]

Did Ginkel say “presser?”

 

[JOBU]

I'm really looking forward to this WS.

Win-win situation.

Yeah no need to choose the lesser of two evils like last year.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Taste it, Mad Dog.

Best part of tonight. And tonight is good.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Exactly how I feel

 

[Ale Xander]

yes there

(About their division-mate)

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

A very likable team, Arizona.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I want Ginkel to get MVP

 

[Ale Xander]

?

I think he pledged to retire if AZ won the last 2.

 

[McBride11]

?

said he would retire if arz won

[brandonchristensen]

So cool. Gonna be a great series that no one watches.

Ginkel is Winhorn

The kids in Unicef-land will soon enjoy the ones with a "P" on them

SoSH will watch.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Blowhard broadcaster Chris "Sad Dog" Russo promised to quit radio if the Phillies lost tonight.

 

[AB in DC]

Texas spent like 8 billion the last two years.

That's why I'm probably rooting for Arizona, even though I'm not as hot on them as other folks here.

"If they win the next two games and win this series in 7 games, I will retire on the spot."

 

[strek1]

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

Or like the old days, a couple of D cell batteries.

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

I agree that’s it’s a good matchup of two interesting young teams, but it’s definitely not the two markets that the network wanted.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That Alex Thomas home run in game 4 was like the Papi home run against the Tigers. Obviously very different series and not perfect parallels. But it turned the whole series. And it was the first time the Phillies seemed to realize they were in a series. Phillies came back to win game 5 but the whole series felt different.

Fucking Hazen. Is executive of the year a thing? Because he deserves it, no matter what happens next.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Gonna be lots of new Phillies fans in Gaza tomorrow.

 

[LogansDad]

Pedro calls their game "chaos". I love it.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

How about in Seattle.

 

[AB in DC]

I agree that’s it’s a good matchup of two interesting young teams, but it’s definitely not the two markets that the network wanted.

I don't think anyone in the media is complaining about the Dallas market -- not when the top alternatives a month ago were Baltimore, Tampa, or Seattle..

[staz]

That's what you call a lock-down bullpen.

 

[staz]

Who the fuck sticks around to boo?

 

[LogansDad]

Who the fuck sticks around to boo?

People who have to go back to Philly?

 

[loshjott]

Who the fuck sticks around to boo?

If you had to drive home to New Jersey tonight you’d stick around also.

Edit: dammit!

 

[JOBU]

I mean it’s not like they have work in the morning

His family's story has been getting a bit more national attention in the last couple of weeks (and probably even more now) but not as much as it should. I have no clue how he is doing what he does. It's incredible and heart-breaking.

Closest Duracell factory is Cleveland

The shirts, on the other hand, are spectacular.

Ketel MVP.

 

[SLC Sox]

I’ll probably end up rooting for the Rangers to get their first WS but Arizona is so fun to watch. Can’t lose this year.

What’s the story? Only see something about his dad being a strength coach.

Yeah, it really is some story.
