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

[canderson]

Maybe Philly can beat Houston this year. It’s our only hope.

 

[jon abbey]

Home runs don't count if the SoSH server is down, still 4-2 TEX.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Just stopping by to say fuck you Leclerc.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Altuve is a cheater and his legacy will always be tainted but holy shit what a player

 

[jon abbey]

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

And that's what happens when Chapman is your 8th inning guy and it's impossible to trust him because he can lose it at any moment.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Leclerc should have been tossed for the first pitch after the Altuve blast.

 

[Ale Xander]

Sensed it would be painful when lead off guy got on

Didn’t help when you walk the .165 PH

 

[patinorange]

It looked like they took him from the crowd.

First post season appearance. .165 hitter this year, after like 6 years out of baseball. Incredible.

 

[McBride11]

Friggin Altuve.
Squander last inning bad news for Tex

 

[aksoxfan]

Good game but not liking the current situation.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Altuve’s eventual Hall of Fame candidacy is going to generate more opinionating than the Kennedy assassination.

 

[Ale Xander]

Maybe Philly can beat Houston this year. It’s our only hope.

Phuck Philly

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

And that's what happens when Chapman is your 8th inning guy and it's impossible to trust him because he can lose it at any moment.

Absolutely.
And now Pressly has to do it, although the Rangers are likely shell-shocked

 

[Remagellan]

Maybe Philly can beat Houston this year. It’s our only hope.

That's what I was about to post when the server went down.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Fuck that little piece of shit.

Let’s not forget this, folks. Gut through the impulse to admire.

 

[mauidano]

It really is mind blowing how this happened. LeClerc couldn't could deal with an easy out.

 

[Ale Xander]

Altuve’s eventual Hall of Fame candidacy is going to generate more opinionating than the Kennedy assassination.

There are no questions

he should be in

 

[brandonchristensen]

Let’s not forget this, folks. Gut through the impulse to admire.

Wonder how many zaps he got to tell him what was coming

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

There are no questions

he should be in

So should Joe Jackson, Rose, Bonds, Clemens, Arod, etc. but they aren’t so Altuve can wait his turn

 

[Ale Xander]

Play for 1 or 2 runs?

 

[staz]

Pressley's a head case. This ain't over.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Leclerc should have been tossed for the first pitch after the Altuve blast.

Truth

 

[patinorange]

Altuve’s eventual Hall of Fame candidacy is going to generate more opinionating than the Kennedy assassination.

First ballot. He'll be the all-time leader in post season homeruns. Great defensive player. And it doesn't look like he's slowing down. Long career.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Altuve’s eventual Hall of Fame candidacy is going to generate more opinionating than the Kennedy assassination.

About the same WAR as Pedroia but he’s been a visible playoff star and perception is reality here, he will get in.

 

[Ed Hillel]

There are no questions

he should be in

Was that buzzer story ever corroborated? I forget where it stands.

 

[mauidano]

Hey! A leadoff runner!!

This pinch runner needs to steal on the new catcher.

 

[JOBU]

Altuve’s eventual Hall of Fame candidacy is going to generate more opinionating than the Kennedy assassination.

Will it? I’m pretty sure he’s a first ballot lock at this point

 

[staz]

Send Roberts.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Kind of a barnburner here

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

About the same WAR as Pedroia but he’s been a visible playoff star and perception is reality here, he will get in.

I think the questions are more about the cheating

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

There are no questions

he should be in

Oh, he's walking in. Some loser sportswriters are going to write a bunch of garbage about the trash can thing though.

 

[Remagellan]

There are no questions

he should be in

The thing that people keep missing is all the people involved in the trash can stuff claim he wasn't one of the ones using the system.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This is the most dramatic game thsi postseason and it's not even close

 

[Ale Xander]

He already has more black ink than your average HOF’er!
Rally!!!

 

[canderson]

Hmmmmmmm

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Uh oh…

 

[mauidano]

Send Roberts.

LOL! was thinking that too!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ohhhh

Will they bunt?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[JOBU]

Little man wished he was 5’7” there I bet

 

[brandonchristensen]

Ultimate Tease.

 

[Remagellan]

I would bunt.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

So should Joe Jackson, Rose, Bonds, Clemens, Arod, etc. but they aren’t so Altuve can wait his turn

This is what I’m thinking. Pearls will be clutched.

 

[canderson]

SHIT

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ohhhhh

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh fuck

the drama!

should have bunted

 

[mauidano]

Now you absolutely have to get that guy on second down to third.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Shoulda dropped it. Easy DP

 

[JOBU]

Fuck

 

[Remagellan]

Ultimate Tease.

Shades of McCovey in 1962?
