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

[Ale Xander]

LFG!!!

 

[donutogre]

Phillies are very lucky that wasn’t worse.

 

[Ale Xander]

Dammit dammit dammit

 

[derekson]

Whew. That could have been a LOT worse.

 

[Average Reds]

He looks shaky again.

Phillies got off much easier than they deserved after that bout of managerial incompetence.

 

[LogansDad]

Fffff

Those were two crushable pitches, Pavin

 

[E5 Yaz]

Diamondbacks look to be a bat or two away from keeping up with the Phillies

 

[dhellers]

so is this a pro Dback forum, or an anti Phille one? Or am I misreading??

I am a fan of seven game series and chaos. So, that.

You make a great point...

Why not both?

I want Arizona, but therw's lots here rooting for Philly.

I also don't hate Philly.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

You make a great point...

I'm curious to see what happens.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I think we're just rooting for baseball ... and against the MFA

 

[patinorange]

Dave McKay is 73. Looks in pretty good shape.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh come on, Gurriel. That was awful.

Mother f’in Athletics?

 

[derekson]

That looked very catchable

 

[derekson]

Mother f’in Athletics?

Mother f'in AleXander actually

 

[E5 Yaz]

Mother f’in Athletics?

Astros, obviously

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Last four pitchers for Arizona have given up at least one run. Lovullo waits until the 8th when the team is behind to go to Ginkel.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Ginkel's a pro

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

There are only two true outcomes of a Castellanos AB

 

[derekson]

Ah, the Kimbrel experience is in the 8th tonight...

 

[E5 Yaz]

Oh, don't start THAT debate ... we'll be stuck here all night

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Craigory!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Bloop and blast time

 

[LogansDad]

Oh, don't start THAT debate ... we'll be stuck here all night

Take it to the July 22nd Mets thread. Fuck.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Oh, don't start THAT debate ... we'll be stuck here all night

Aren't we kind of stuck here anyway? People have tried to unstick us but we are pretty stuck. Plus, debates ebb and flow, sometimes once a quarter.

I wouldn't give a plugged nickel for your two cents on that quarter

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Bloop and blast time

Alexa messed up your request for the bloop.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Kimbrel's Kerkeringing

 

[Obscure Name]

Those are some brutal stats for Longoria.

 

[derekson]

Let's just walk the entire world

 

[jon abbey]

Might be time to move Kerkering farther down the pecking order.

 

[Remagellan]

Might be time to move Kerkering farther down the pecking order.

What about Kimbrel?

 

[strek1]

Aways a guaranteed nailbiter finish with Kimbrel working. (Edit - Yep)

 

[Obscure Name]

Oh no Craig.

 

[E5 Yaz]

BASEBALL!!!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Splish splash.

 

[mauidano]

Storybook! Alek Thomas!

 

[canderson]

Yesssssssssss tied

 

[dhellers]

Where was I reading that despite what we all feel, Kimbrel is effective in the post season?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game is pretty great. Damn what an AB by the kid, fresh off the bench.

 

[ifmanis5]

LOL

 

[derekson]

F you, Kimbrel

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I feel bad for our old friend

 

[jon abbey]

What about Kimbrel?

Yeah, him too, he and Chapman both in the 8th turning the games today.

 

[Average Reds]

Predictable.

 

[LogansDad]

ALEK¡!!!!!!!!

 

[mauidano]

All barrel on that. A moment this kid will never forget!
