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

Tossing Garcia is crap

I believe because he got a bit too handsy with the ump.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I think that was absolutely on purpose. Garcia still should’ve kept his cool better, knowing that he absolutely can’t get a game suspension. But if you don’t want a guy to pimp a homer, pitch better?

Ok, but if a pitcher stares down and screams at batters he strikes out, it’s going to also garner resentment. At some point, it’s a bit much.

I can certainly understand getting upset by being hit by a 97 mph ball.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Dusty be like "I'm not going anywhere, yo"

What’s the penalty? Suspension?

 

[mauidano]

Not good for anyone? That home run trot WAS FUCKING AWESOME.

Really? Why not cartwheels or slide into home. Do we have touchdown celebrations where all the players come out for the "selfie"?

Someone will get hurt physically.

Exactly. Hitting a dude that could cause injury because you got embarassed by giving up a gopher ball? Dont give up a HR dont get embarassed. More elegant solution than bush league crap.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was weird

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

What’s the penalty? Suspension?

Dusty has to interview for the Sox GM job.

 

[canderson]

Geez that was an impressive play by Abreau

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

I totally get it but given the stakes I think lots of guys would keep their cool enough to not get ejected

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Well, I often don't get jokes here on Sosh.

Now, I approve of bringing the closer in here. Hope I'm right this time!

It wasn’t very funny.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Soft hands there

 

[JCizzle]

Defenses do that all the time after interceptions/turnovers, ha. They all run into the end zone and pose together.

 

[BornToRun]

I think 110 percent this. It's the nature of The Game and the showing off today. Not good for anyone but yeah.

I hate hitting guys for showing off, but I’m 100% cool with “you slid spikes high into my second baseman, so now I’m drilling you in the ass.” So I guess I half agree.

*Matt Barnes only mistake was missing…

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

What’s the penalty? Suspension?

Pats lose a first.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Did Jose Abreu just not try at all until the playoffs? Who is this guy

 

[genoasalami]

he hit 3 players all season ...

 

[Ed Hillel]

Defenses do that all the time after interceptions/turnovers, ha. They all run into the end zone and pose together.

Stomping home plate seems to go beyond it. That’s a “fuck you” act.

 

[JOBU]

No no shit Tom. Welcome to the party pal.

 

[mauidano]

That's my point. It really has no place in baseball. Different animal.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Lowe took two meatballs.

 

[staz]

What’s the penalty? Suspension?

He's has to charge Pedro, who will give him the Zimmer.

 

[aksoxfan]

Way to take advantage

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Stomping home plate seems to go beyond it. That’s a “fuck you” act.

Tough shit? Don't give up the dinger next time.

 

[mauidano]

Pats lose a first.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ok let’s get some excitement here.

 

[patinorange]

Lowe took two meatballs.

What a shit at bat. That run at third, I have a feeling they needed that.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Tough shit? Don't give up the dinger next time.

Cool. Maybe next time the pitcher strikes someone out he can turn to the dugout and scream for 15 seconds and slam his glove down. I’m sure that wouldn’t elicit a reaction.

 

[Max Power]

Tough shit? Don't give up the dinger next time.

Abreu didn't. He barely gives up hits, never mind runs.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why is this person pinch hitting?

 

[canderson]

Texas is going to blow this game aren’t they.

 

[canderson]

Series over.

 

[JOBU]

Fuck these assholes

 

[staz]

Fuck me.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Altuve is so so so awesome.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Dude's a fucking monster

 

[Max Power]

 

[Just a bit outside]

Fuck

 

[mauidano]

Saw that coming a mile away...that should do it.

Damn, Altuve is such a monster.

 

[JOBU]

Texas is going to blow this game aren’t they.

Sensed it would be painful when lead off guy got on

 

[patinorange]

Why is this person pinch hitting?

How the fuck do you walk that guy?

 

[Ale Xander]

You’ve got to be kidding me

Little man

 

[Ed Hillel]

I’m upset Altuve didn’t dance around, slam his bat, and stomp home. It was set up perfectly.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Fuck that little piece of shit.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Phillies ain’t beating the Astros

 

[LogansDad]

My god. Just incredible.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

It's so hard for a closer to get hot/cold/hot with this much adrenaline flowing

 

[Ed Hillel]

How the fuck do you walk that guy?

It looked like they took him from the crowd.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Rangers bullpen ran out of fairy dust.

 

[aksoxfan]

Bleh
