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

That gun-suicide commercial

Fair/foul in front of the bases is strictly not reviewable.

I know. And why is that the rule?

 

[joe dokes]

6 of 7 hitters reach against him. That’s not what you look for in a reliever unless you’re the Sox.

With proper coaching, it could be 7 of 7.

 

[LogansDad]

I know. And why is that the rule?

I don't know, man. I don't make the rules.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Neris promptly walks Lowe

 

[Ale Xander]

LFG Jung.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

France gave that game to Texas like it was the Louisiana Purchase.

 

[moonshotmanny]

Yesssssssssss (I’m clearly behind)

I was watching the football game. I'm back now!

 

[LogansDad]

Come on Josh

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Where’s @canderson?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I don't know, man. I don't make the rules.

Rhetorical question. My post was calling attention to the arbitrary scope of what is/is not reviewable.

 

[Wingack]

Sad astronauts.

 

[canderson]

MOAR PLZ

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Position player will be pitching for the Astros before this is over the way things are going.

 

[Max Power]

Dusty left France in too long, but Nerris has been shitty recently, too. The Astros relievers haven't been able to recreate their magic from last year.

 

[Ale Xander]

Enrique probably throws that into the stands

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That throw by Pena was so, so sick. Damn

 

[Al Zarilla]

Helluva play. Damn!

 

[canderson]

Damn

 

[LogansDad]

Awesome play by Pena.

 

[joe dokes]

How is that not a balk from Neris.

Nice play Pena to stave off the end.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Texas is dominating the body language battle.

 

[LogansDad]

I can't remember ever seeing Tucker this lost.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Astros are going to keep scoring, I think. Lots of baseball left.

 

[Ale Xander]

game is far from over

 

[Ale Xander]

Gonna be 8-5 in a few pitches

 

[Al Zarilla]

Somebody mentioned ALCS game seven 2004 (you know the one). This game does remind me of that game...the big early lead, but so many innings to go and anything can happen with the dangerous team in the other dugout.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Welp

 

[joe dokes]

Too many Orsillos.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Ruh roh

 

[Al Zarilla]

Montgomery's no Eovaldi.

 

[Bergs]

This game is nuts.

 

[LogansDad]

Gonna be 8-5 in a few pitches

Optimist.

 

[jmcc5400]

Letting Maldonado hit? Huh?

 

[Ale Xander]

Tilman Fertitta has a primo seat

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

No way can Altuve hit here

 

[joe dokes]

Maldonado only making one out is pretty big.

Big difference is the Red Sox had a cruising starter, though, right? Only needed 3 bullpen innings.

Astros are going to get a look at lots of bullpen that they have seen several times already. I’ve said it before — the problem with bullpen games is the weak link problem. You have to count on lots of players all coming up big.

 

[Wingack]

No way can Altuve hit here

Can't put him on either.

 

[Al Zarilla]

No way can Altuve hit here

Guy on deck is pretty good too.

 

[LogansDad]

Montgomery looks like he is on 3 days rest.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Oh, yeah!

 

[brandonchristensen]

Whew

 

[Ale Xander]

PHEW!

MONTY!

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Pessimists

 

[LogansDad]

PHEW

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Garcia is out there living his best life as the kids say

 

[joe dokes]

Can't put him on either.

Jim Palmer, who never gave up a grand slam, once said, "theres always an open base." Hed rather walk a run in than give up 4.

Billionaires get the coolest shit.

I don't know why anyone would listen to an underwear model for baseball advice.
