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

[Ale Xander]

Let’s go mvp runner up

 

[Ed Hillel]

Shoulda dropped it. Easy DP

Would be ruled an out, unless he took it off the chest

 

[canderson]

Game ending double play would be the worst

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I think the questions are more about the cheating

Derp (on my part). You’re right. Though, I think enough of the voters subscribing to that narrative will be dead by the time he’s up for the Hall that it’ll be a mere sideshow.

 

[staz]

Seager's going to fucking launch one.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wtffffffffffff

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

WTF is Smith doing?

 

[Remagellan]

That's why I would have bunted.

 

[Ale Xander]

47 is a moron

 

[shawnrbu]

How do you not tag up?

 

[JOBU]

What the fuck?

 

[canderson]

WHY DID HE NOT TAG???

 

[jon abbey]

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

That ATL comeback against PHI was better IMO.

 

[brandonchristensen]

This is 100% why you play small ball in this case.

They won't even advance the runners. Red Soxian.

 

[shawnrbu]

Garcia’s spot on deck.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Dude’s gonna get thrown out at home on a single now

 

[Remagellan]

I will point out that the Astros have a lost a series before in which no team won a game at home.

 

[McBride11]

How do you not advance?? Wowie

 

[Ale Xander]

This stupidity kills me more than bad infield defense

 

[patinorange]

Nice base running. Jeesh.

 

[mauidano]

Still think they should have run on the new catcher right away. This game could have been tied maybe.

 

[luckiestman]

How that bro not tag?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Evan Carter is LEGIT.

 

[Remagellan]

That ATL comeback against PHI was better IMO.

I have to agree because of how the game ended.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was a hanger

 

[8slim]

This is a clinic in how not to manage a 9th inning situation.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I just tuned back in. After Leclerc put on guys with Altuve coming up, I turned off the TV. Then I saw there were two on, but now it's almost over.
So discouraging---the Rangers just didn't have a decent bullpen. Where have I seen that before?

This is where advanced statistics ruins the game. 2 on no out, advance them by any means necessary.

[Ale Xander]

Losers

 

[canderson]

Thanks for playing, Texas. Way to choke.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

fuck

 

[jon abbey]

Poop.

 

[staz]

Geeeez

Yep. Lay one down with the guy hitting .163 for Pete’s sake.

 

[shawnrbu]

The Astros were dead tonight and Garcia woke them up.

 

[JOBU]

Losers

Yep. Loser franchise gonna loser

 

[Ed Hillel]

Awesome.

 

[Ale Xander]

If the Astros beat Philly, I think I’m buying an Altuve jersey

 

[S. H. Frog]

Bummer

 

[patinorange]

I'm not sure how Pressly does it, but he does it.
Go Phillies.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Scoreless in the second in the NLCS

 

[McBride11]

Guesd the lack of tagging up meant nothing.
But wow, since the brawl Tex has shit the bed big time.

 

[mauidano]

Back breaking loss.

Leclerc choked it out by walking that leadoff hitter. The rest is history. Lots of second guessing for that last inning gonna happen from the Rangers POV.

 

[JCizzle]

Fuck the Astros

 

[Ed Hillel]

Dusty Baker did the MVP 2005 rally bar ejection.

 

[Remagellan]

This is where advanced statistics ruins the game. 2 on no out, advance them by any means necessary.

About the only argument for not bunting is that they would have walked Seager--and that is a pretty good reason, but still.

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s an insane stat

 

[mauidano]

I tip my cap to Altuve though. He is so clutch.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Dusty Baker did the MVP 2005 rally bar ejection.

Oh hell yes, this call back.

 

[8slim]

Sure. But then bases loaded with 1 out is not a bad spot to be in.
