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

[canderson]

$100 to Jimmy Fund for a 3 run home run

 

[LogansDad]

This is not enough. Not even close.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Not even close, blue.

 

[Ale Xander]

Love teams that have all stars hitting 8th

 

[InsideTheParker]

The strike zone just get bigger?

 

[JOBU]

Jesus that’s way outside

 

[Ale Xander]

That was thrown to Katy

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Looks like the strikes Mussina got in relief during Game 7 in the 03 ALCS.

Too soon

 

[LogansDad]

Jesus that’s way outside

Ump got the "don't let people tune out yet" mandate over his Pitchcom.

 

[Ale Xander]

5 balls

oh well

 

[JOBU]

Fuck

 

[canderson]

Squandered despite the 3 runs

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Rangers lineup has a lot of black holes right now.

 

[patinorange]

You guys never saw Manny Ramirez admire a 400 foot drive into a single? I hate it when my team's guys do it, but they do.

Yup, and we ripped him every time. (with love)

 

[soxhop411]

Wow

That is totally bonkers.

When the Phillies were founded as a baseball team Arizona was still a territory!

 

[Ale Xander]

Dude just rakes

 

[Ed Hillel]

Well

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Altuve broke a piece of the scoreboard with that laser.

 

[LogansDad]

Great. Scherzer is toast.

 

[canderson]

Scherzer will give this lead up within 5 batters I bet

 

[JOBU]

This game is gonna end 12-11

 

[strek1]

The Rangers better have a very short leash for old Max. He was lousy last time.

 

[Ale Xander]

What shade of green would this be if no IBB?

 

[InsideTheParker]

It looks as though Scherzer is as bad as I feared he would be.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

When's the last time neither starter in a Game 7 made it out of the 1st inning?

 

[LogansDad]

Oh, fuck off.

 

[Ale Xander]

This game is gonna end 12-11

I may take the over

 

[Ale Xander]

Hiuuuuuuuuge

 

[LogansDad]

Thank god.

 

[canderson]

I’d not let him start the 2nd. Jesus.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Not perfect but could have been a lot worse.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Looking to burn a barn tonight

-- had not seen the DP yet

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Feels like there are going to be a lot of pitching change commercial breaks just to get to middle innings

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

This is a weird ballpark. At least it doesn’t have a flagpole in play anymore I guess.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Let's see, walk Altuve, walk Alvarez, walk Abreu, anyone else? Yeah, all the A's.

 

[AMS25]

Game 7 = a bullpen game. Sad.

 

[joe dokes]

Scherzer got the BABIP in the 1st. His pitches had nuthin.
Bochy's not blind.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

I’d not let him start the 2nd. Jesus.

Do they have enough arms to make it through 8? I think you send him back out with a short leash.

 

[joe dokes]

Game 7 = a bullpen game. Sad.

At least its old schoo....because the starters went bad and not the planned way.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

In case it hasn’t been mentioned yet: 10 years ago today was Game 1 of the WS. Red Sox 8, Cardinals 1. Papi with 3 RBIs.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Funny that they'd power down Phil "Auto" Maton after such a short outing.

 

[LogansDad]

Seager cycle watch.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Seager just locked in. Dodger fans asking “why can’t we get guys like that?”

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Scherzer’s hair is on a short leash too.

 

[Looch]

There’s a lot to be said for watching intense high-stakes games with no emotional investment in the outcome.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Anyone remember a Braves playoff game where Smoltz was pitching and they kept showing his “sports psychologist” in the stands? He’s a motormouth, but I always found that to have been pretty cool — he basically was putting treatment for anxiety out there in a public way when it was definitely a stigma. I think I even chuckled at the time, but it was cool.

 

[strek1]

Scherzer’s hair is on a short leash too.

As a fellow follicly challenged human I got a chuckle out of this!

 

[joe dokes]

Scherzers stuff looks a bit better in the 2nd. From my TV.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Does Scherzer have different color eyes?
