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

[JOBU]

Really chaps my ass that guys that couldn’t figure it out or lost it in Boston are now lock down relief aces.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Never seen that error before. (On the stuck in equipment)

 

[canderson]

Trouble for Arizona

 

[derekson]

Boiled ass!

 

[canderson]

They’re in deep, deep shit

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Walking 3 straight to start an inning in a tie ballgame seems not ideal.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

This won’t end well for Arizona.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Problem with bullpen games is you are only as good as your weakest link. Asking 9 guys all to be good is asking too much.

 

[JOBU]

Absolute fuckshow

 

[derekson]

That defense was positively Red Sox like.

 

[canderson]

Didn’t know Devers moonlit as Arizona’s third baseman.

 

[Ale Xander]

Best defense in the league, huh?

That's why I take offense and pitching. More predictable.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

What a weird play that was.

EDIT: That was such a weird chopper (and might have been foul by a hair), I can't blame a meh throw there. Moreno could have dug that out.

If devers was on third that would have been a bases clearing double/triple

 

[S. H. Frog]

Yikes.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Almost feel bad for Rivera. Dude's already a AAAA bat. Now he's probably a AAA bat next year.

 

[Remagellan]

What a weird play that was.

Looking at the replay, the throw really ate him up.

 

[canderson]

Haha valid point

 

[Just a bit outside]

Announcer doesn’t know the difference between a short hop and an in between hop.

 

[derekson]

The Jays have to be kicking themselves for that Varsho trade.

 

[Remagellan]

That was a big out.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Looking at the replay, it really ate him up.

Yeah, he tried to keep his foot on the plate for the force, which was likely not a possibility at that point because of the hop. All in the moment, of course, but if he keeps that in front of him, they might have had Turner hung up rounding third

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Walker just put up an uncompetitive AB

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This kid Smith is out there giving no effs

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

How did he not swing? I mean, he wasn't going to get it but man that's a bad leave by Gurriel

 

[E5 Yaz]

There were like five pitches in a row to the same basic spot ... 3 strikes, 2 balls

 

[LogansDad]

Ugh. Fuck me

 

[Remagellan]

That kid can fly.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Holy shit! Flying.

 

[Remagellan]

Smart IBB

 

[LogansDad]

Fuck a duck

 

[Remagellan]

Would not have had Schwarber running there.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Fuck a duck

Or a Beaver

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Gregory Soto getting gassed up by the booth while putting the game tying up at the plate

 

[LogansDad]

Come on, Corbin.

 

[LogansDad]

Wow, what a pick by JT

 

[patinorange]

Problem with bullpen games is you are only as good as your weakest link. Asking 9 guys all to be good is asking too much.

I have this radical innovation. Let's develop four or five starters for our team so we can go through a seven-game series without a bullpen game.
Please don't share beyond this site. I am proposing this when I have my interview for head of baseball ops for the Sox.

 

[derekson]

Turner flashing the leather! What a play.

 

[LogansDad]

Wow, what a pick by JT

Saved a run and possibly more

 

[E5 Yaz]

Turner flashing the leather! What a play.

All facets of the game, he's just electric

 

[Obscure Name]

Dombrowski knows how to build a defense.

 

[LogansDad]

Come on, Gabby. Be a hero

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Orion Kerkering, of the Orleans Cardinals Firebirds

 

[strek1]

Orion Kerkering, of the Orleans Cardinals Firebirds

He looks shaky again.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This kid don't got it. Yikes, Rob Thompson!

 

[derekson]

This is sub ideal.

 

[donutogre]

Yikes! And they still have two more innings to get through after this one…

 

[strek1]

Tie game coming up (If not worse)

 

[Obscure Name]

Maybe shoulda gone to the fastball before it was 3-0.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game kind of rocks
