2023 WC Round Game/Discussion Thread

[Ale Xander]

He has lots of money, I think.

They’re not selling

 

[Remagellan]

Harper with his first hit of this postseason to lead off the eighth.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Walker is really fucking good.

Baseball teams that overcome shit are fun as hell. They make the second out on the bases and then get a huge two-out hit.

I much prefer the “give up the season and mope in the dugout” method.

 

[Remagellan]

Kimbrel is warming. I'm not sure I can bear to watch the ninth.

 

[joe dokes]

6-3 AZ. going to bottom 9th.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Do that and you get to pick your next boss!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Heard earlier in the game “Eleven total pitchers, NINE of whom were relievers.” (Emphasis on “nine.”)

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Harper with his first hit of this postseason to lead off the eighth.

All 9 Philly starters now have at least one this game

 

[Remagellan]

Do that and you get to pick your next boss!

Cue the theme to The Office.

 

[Remagellan]

That's why I love Harper. Runs through the stop sign to score an insurance run.

 

[joe dokes]

Harper blows the stop sign, scores easily. 4-1 phils.

Not moping, thinking big thoughts

 

[Remagellan]

He was fucking motoring.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

This Phillies team is pretty good. But, how good is their farm system, I wonder?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Ain't no stopping, bro

 

[joe dokes]

Game 1 to AZ.

 

[Ale Xander]

Zona wins

Great bullpen performance

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I know replay has been uneven in other sports, but in baseball it really has been pretty good.

Huge moment in Brewers game. 4-3, bases loaded for Brewers no outs, replay overturns a HBP, and Dbacks get out of it. Was in like the fifth inning, and probably will be forgotten, but possibly game or even series determinative.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Not moping, thinking big thoughts

The heavier the brain, the stronger the dugout wall needs to be.

 

[joe dokes]

Kimbrel gives up a rocket off the wall. Batter safe, but not nearly safe enough at 2nd down 4-1 leading off the 9th

 

[Remagellan]

Kimbrel intentional balk..

 

[joe dokes]

1st intentional balk ive ever seen

 

[Remagellan]

1st intentional balk ive ever seen

Me too. It's kind of smart.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Intentional balk

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

1st intentional balk ive ever seen

Kenley did it this season

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That pitch for strike two is unfair

 

[Remagellan]

Kenley did it this season

I've already blanked out most of this season.

 

[Remagellan]

I still find Kimbrel hard to watch.

 

[Ale Xander]

Phillies win

And apparently they have pennant-worthy fireworks already

 

[joe dokes]

Me too. It's kind of smart.

Mccarver says its like a HR.

Ovah.

 

[Remagellan]

Nice win by the Phils.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Mccarver says its like a HR.

Ovah.

It’s a game of inch!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Yeah, Kenley has done it a few times.

 

[Remagellan]

Phils needed that, because I think Nola's been shaky.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So, which of the four teams that won today is most susceptible to losing the series?

I guess Dbacks? Maybe Rangers.

DBacks have the pitching edge on paper now, their top two guys against MIL’s 3 and 4.

 

[Ale Xander]

Definitely Twins imho

 

[LogansDad]

Pretty great day of baseball. Hope for more.

 

[Marciano490]

Crazy half the starters didn’t go past 4 innings.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Do that and you get to pick your next boss!

Savage

 

[sheamonu]

Less than 20,000 fans in Tampa - disgraceful.

 

[derekson]

Rooting for Texas makes me feel dirty, but at least Eovaldi is on the mound today so that makes it a bit easier.

 

[derekson]

Sean McDonough being the announcer is also helpful.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Josh Jung seems really good at hitting balls just beyond the reach of diving Rays outfielders.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That happened quickly.

 

[Wingack]

So an Evan Carter/Wyatt Langford OF in Texas is going to be a big problem for the next 15 years aren't they?

 

[VORP Speed]

Rays will have 1 run in 42 innings of this new wild card format once they get shutout today.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tampa Bay has an Australian playing second base? That doesn't sound copacetic..

 

[jon abbey]

“Some boos come down from the group, I’m not sure we can call it a crowd, from the group here at the Trop.”

Who knew empty seats could be so loud.
