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

[simplicio]

Is Barksdale the same guy that blew the check swing call the other night?

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Walker with the leather

Thank goodness.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

When are those robot umps arriving? I’d like to be the first to welcome our new pitch-calling overlords. Really, they can’t get here soon enough.

Barksdale's zone is an abstract concept. Muchlinski's zone from last night was actually worse.

User BMarsh16 would like your reply vis-à-vis Adventures with Muchlinski 100 times if he could.

Wheeler is so good at holding runners on.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Wheeler is so good at holding runners on.

He’s pretty good at pitching too.

 

[LogansDad]

Wheeler is so good at holding runners on.

Having Realmuto behind the plate doesn't hurt.

 

[LogansDad]

Awful at bat, Christian.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

SMASH ONE THE FUCK ON OUT OF HERE, ALEK!

 

[LogansDad]

Wheeler is just nasty.

DBacks gotta get something going so they can get into that sweet, sweet Phillies bullpen

Unfortunately, I think the Diamondbacks are done scoring for the night.

 

[JOBU]

Was that Brett Gardner dealing high-fives in the stands? I only partially caught it.

Dustin Pedroia

 

[JOBU]

Dustin Pedroia

He’s really gone to shit aye?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Brian Anderson giving us his version of Gammon's "special person" with regard to Longoria. Unfortunately even if you are special you have to do better than that vs Wheeler.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Truped.

 

[LogansDad]

Ffffffff

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

BA is more Trupe than Trupiano

 

[E5 Yaz]

Man on ... two pitches later, out of the inning

 

[derekson]

DRS really loves Rojas's defense. Decided to look it up and DRS has him at +15 runs in 392 innings.

 

[LogansDad]

And two pitches to get the last two outs. Gross.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I just hope the Phillies beat the MFA this time around

 

[JOBU]

He do what he do

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Schwarbtober 21st

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

461 ft. 114 mph exit velo. That thing got out quick.

 

[derekson]

SCHWARBIRD LAUNCHES A BOMB!

 

[E5 Yaz]

The useless Kyle Schwarber

 

[Max Power]

He's kind of strong.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Wow. Very impressive.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Postseason Schwarber is nuts

 

[LogansDad]

Oh my. Holy shit.

 

[McBride11]

Rocket

 

[Al Zarilla]

Schwarber even takes choppy steps like the Babe.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Still not Kimbrel-proofed

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

20 HR in 63 postseason games

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

11 in 18 career NLCS games (which would project to 99 in a full season!)

 

[Max Power]

Schwarber even takes choppy steps like the Babe.

I was just saying to my wife last week that he looks like an old video of Babe Ruth when he's taking his home run trot.

 

[Ale Xander]

Postseason Schwarber is nuts

He doesn’t play defense though

 

[patinorange]

But..But he only hit .197 in the regular season.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Oof.

 

[E5 Yaz]

LOL

 

[JOBU]

These are absolute tanks. Tanks.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Still not Kimbrel-proofed

Now it might be

 

[Max Power]

You're not quite Schwarber, Bryce.

 

[derekson]

Schwarber and Harper make some kind of a pair.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Schwarber’s WAR in the playoffs may be higher than in the regular season

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Obliterated

 

[Al Zarilla]

Love these two left-handed hitting destroyers

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Good lord
