1993 NLCS rematch!

1993 NLCS rematch!

With a different ending. Ahem.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Something like this seems to happen every other year. Guess it's the Phillies' turn.

The last two starts Fried had against the Phillies in September from B-Ref.



Same info for Suarez.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Braves field infield grass looks like a putting green, as does the outfield grass.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

And the Phillies are hitting it into the holes. Up 2-0 going to the bottom of the first.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Not a good beginning for Fried. That, and my having just gotten a wasp bite, to which I'm allergic, is making for a less than happy nlds for me so far.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Reminder why I don't like the Braves...the chant and chop,

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Big missed strike call already. Robo umps for 2024!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Flirting with disaster, Suarez gets out of it.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

What a squander by the Braves. They had a great shot to get those runs back.

The change from Indians to Guardians was community pressure of some kind? Is there nothing like that in Atlanta?

I sure don't know.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

The Phillies have gone full small ball.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

The old "double but I only advanced one base misreading the ball" play

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bryce, you shouldn't be moving the bat when the ball is coming in on a bunt.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Fried's stuff is not electric today, should consider pulling him soon.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Nice slide

Not that I've seen. They got buy in, in both the literal and figurative sense, from the Eastern Band of the Cherokees for the chop and chant. They are also one of their big sponsors. Harrah's Cherokee in NC.

That being said, before this gets any more political, and I despise the chant, chop, and name, let's keep this to game discussion please. If someone wants to start a thread on this please do so in V&N>

"He's always a pitcher in his ability to throw pitches"

Not exactly Eck

Spot the lie, tho.

 

[jon abbey]

Suarez already at 75 pitches through 3, very frustrating first three innings for ATL.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Holy mackerel, Jesse Chavez is still pitching.

 

[cromulence]

Jesse Chavez somehow looks even older than he is (39).

 

[cromulence]

Huge hit. Nightmare game so far for Atlanta.

 

[InsideTheParker]

6-1. It would appear that this game is OVAH! But after Toronto lost a game with a score of 8-1 in their favor at one point makes me unsure. ....

The Philadelphia starter has been terribly fortunate and their bullpen is no great shakes. This is far from over

In the words of the shitty Braves announcers, "He throws strikes!"

Well, look at Mr. Optimism.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Well, look at Mr. Optimism.

I'm a very positive person

Please wear a mask

 

[mauidano]

Got heeem.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

The Phillies small ball is a pretty amusing storyline. Works again.

 

[mauidano]

Manufacturing runs.

 

[mauidano]

I’m about tired out of this Timmy Trumpet thing.

 

[mauidano]

Protecting that 3B line huh?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Are the Braves "back in the game" yet?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Are the Braves "back in the game yet"?

They were never out of it

 

[Al Zarilla]

They were never out of it

7-1 looked sorta kinda safe.

 

[E5 Yaz]

7-1 looked sorta kinda safe.

Only if you didn't factor in which team was 7 and which team was 1

Yes. Hand can be a disaster.

 

[Ale Xander]

What’s the deal with the mound?

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Do you have the sound off?

 

[Ale Xander]

Do you have the sound off?

Yes

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Yes

Hole in the wrong place for his landing spot. Closed captions are working ok here, but sometimes are weird.

Prom night

 

[johnmd20]

Leadoff runner on for the Braves.
