Phillies vs. Braves NLDS Thread

[johnmd20]

1st and 3rd, no outs.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Eflin hasn't exactly been getting through innings cleanly lately. And he's been really bad on the road this year.

 

[Ale Xander]

One run game

 

[jmcc5400]

Uh-oh

 

[johnmd20]

7-6.

1 out. Nobody on.

 

[LogansDad]

Holy balls.

 

[canderson]

Oh shit a 3 run bomb

 

[Ale Xander]

Those trumpets are everywhere now

 

[InsideTheParker]

Who needs Freddie Freeman?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ex A's guy goes deep with 3 run dinger. 1 run game.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Ex A's guy goes deep with 3 run dinger. 1 run game.

But, it was 7-1

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Olson parks one in center for three runs. 7-6 with one down in the 9th now.

 

[Ale Xander]

Ex A's guy goes deep with 3 run dinger. 1 run game.

While Pache hit .166

 

[Ale Xander]

I thought this guy couldn’t play D

 

[johnmd20]

What a catch.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Nice catch in right. two down.

 

[LogansDad]

That was a hell of a play for a guy who should be a DH

 

[Van Everyman]

Wow, that was some catch

 

[Ale Xander]

Game anyways

 

[Van Everyman]

But, it was 7-1

Analytics

 

[canderson]

PHL had them all the way

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Cheese steak.

 

[jmcc5400]

Exhale - and let's go Mariners!

 

[E5 Yaz]

I swear the SS there was going to trip over his own feet before he got the throw off

 

[Al Zarilla]

But, it was 7-1

Just end up with one more than the other team.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Starting to rain here in Atlanta. The forecast calls for thunderstorms until 6pm or so.
Current radar. The stadium is located just northeast of the a in Smyrna.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Yeah, they will not start on time.

[Lose Remerswaal]

6PM start is the current target

 

[Ale Xander]

Why isn't the new stadium there enclosed, like in Houston? The summers are unbearable and it's not like the area is completely dry in the better months.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

After rejecting a roof for reasons of cost and baseball tradition, the Braves asked the architects of SunTrust Park for a design that “would have as many of our seats covered as possible, outside of having a roof,” Schiller said.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Why isn't the new stadium there enclosed, like in Houston? The summers are unbearable and it's not like the area is completely dry in the better months.

Probably because they couldn't fleece the taxpayers of Cobb County out of more money.

 

[DontTauntOrtizMe]

Future radar makes it seem like the rain won't clear out until 9pm local time. 6pm seems ambitious.

 

[canderson]

Rain should be clear of Atlanta now and the 7:30 start seems probably.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Not that I'm rooting for the Phillies, but why don't they go the route the Yankees take with Judge and bat Harper first or second? Would it really matter if he and Schwarber hit back to back?

He went 3-3 yesterday but he is still playing hurt, .676 OPS after coming back in late August.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

What channel is this on?

 

[jon abbey]

What channel is this on?

Fox

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Fox

Thanks. Twitter folks were saying it wasn’t on Fox, but they were wrong.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

My son played against Wheeler in high school. Luckily, he wasn't pitching.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Scherzer and Wheeler had pretty similar seasons, except one made $23 million while the other $43m.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I really don't like it when Snitker has Ozuna, Heredia, and Arcia starting.

 

[E5 Yaz]

My son played against Wheeler in high school. Luckily, he wasn't pitching.

I'm sure I've probably forgotten it, but have we done a thread about the most famous athlete against whom either we or a family member competed against?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

No idea. He played against Swanson too I think.

 

[wiffleballhero]

Sometimes I think John Smoltz has no idea what he is actually trying to say.

 

[LogansDad]

The difference in Kyle Wright last year and Kyle Wright this year is astounding to me.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

He's been amazing this year. Fun to watch. Anderson needs to learn what he did.

 

[LogansDad]

As someone who dropped Wright and kept Anderson last offseason, I 100% agree.

 

[shawnrbu]

Schwarber covering a lot of ground in LF.

 

[canderson]

5 IP, 49 pitches

 

[canderson]

WOW
