2023 LDS Game/Discussion Thread

[Ale Xander]

Usually Rob Thompson would bring the shot heard round the world. Now, the shot heard round the world brings out Rob Thompson.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I’m sure every Phillies fan was hoping to avoid Kimbrel in a close game in the 9th.

 

[Remagellan]

All those early LOBs might come back to haunt the Phils.

 

[staz]

Strider with the potty mouth

 

[Remagellan]

By the box, it was a strike.

 

[Ale Xander]

SS not happy.

At the ump, I assume.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Methinks you're going to need an insurance run or two, Phillies.

 

[LogansDad]

That's crazy. The d'Arnaud home run was the Braves first hit of the series that wasn't on a fastball.

Meanwhile, the Orioles went halfway through yesterdays game with all of their hits in the series being off of changeups.

Baseball is a weird fucking sport, man.

 

[Remagellan]

On his horse, as they say...

 

[Ale Xander]

Man, the online viewing experience with TBS blows. Just goes in circles with the verification.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh, shit. Hitting Acuna seems like a bad idea.

 

[Remagellan]

Oh, shit. Hitting Acuna seems like a bad idea.

Don't think it was intentional.

 

[LogansDad]

Don't think it was intentional.

Doesn't make it a good idea.

 

[pk1627]

Should have broughtin Kimbrel for the 4 out save

 

[staz]

Oops!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Not going to hold them down forever

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Baseball!

 

[Remagellan]

Yikes.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

There’s that Dombrowski bullpen we all know and love.

 

[canderson]

Wow

 

[LogansDad]

Oh. Wow.

Baseball.

I love it.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Didn't get all of it but that's plenty in that corner of the park

 

[derekson]

Wow. Leaving all those runners on really hurts now for Philly.

 

[shawnrbu]

An A-Bomb from A-Ri!

 

[Al Zarilla]

What a revolting development the Phillies would say.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

I’m sure every Phillies fan was hoping to avoid Kimbrel in a close game in the 9th.

I think they would have preferred it to this.

 

[strek1]

As Ned Martin would have said - "Mercy"

 

[LogansDad]

One of those games I wish I was still on Xitter so I could see Sarah Langs' "wheeee" post.

 

[patinorange]

That’s a bad pitch. Couldn’t touch the fastball. Fed him the slider.

 

[Vandalman]

Life of Riley!

 

[shawnrbu]

That’s a bad pitch. Couldn’t touch the fastball. Fed him the slider.

He was spooked by Acuna at 3rd.

 

[strek1]

Oh but that stupid chant, and on Idigenous peoples day. What an affront.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh but that stupid chant, and on Idigenous peoples day. What an affront.

It's really bad, and the reason I can't truly "root" for the Braves, but man, do I enjoy watching their players play baseball.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Should have broughtin Kimbrel for the 4 out save

If Philly had a lock down closer, absolutely go for the kill there. But Kimbrel?

 

[shawnrbu]

Gotta have Minter pitch to Harper.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh wow.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I hope this is not a "The Russian is cut" moment.

Hmm...

 

[Ale Xander]

Good job, Harper

 

[staz]

Wow

 

[NYCSox]

Holy cow what a catch!

 

[ifmanis5]

What a fucking catch.

 

[canderson]

You’ve got to be kidding me. My god.

 

[Remagellan]

What a play to end it.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Meanwhile, The DBacks are starting quickly

 

[LogansDad]

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Holy shit! What an ending!!

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

What an ending!

 

[Remagellan]

That was either going to be a run scoring double or that.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Harper oof

 

[shawnrbu]

Harper trying too hard.
