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

[joe dokes]

Montgomery looks like he is on 3 days rest.

2.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Can someone remind me what inning the unwritten rules start? Just trying to keep track.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Did they absolutely NEED a shutdown inning? Perhaps no, but any Rangers or anti-Astros fan who says their sphincter wasn’t locked up just now is either lying or doesn’t have a sphincter.

 

[JOBU]

Too bad little man

 

[Ale Xander]

Tilman gave up and left

 

[joe dokes]

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

That may have been underwear advice. I can't remember. It was a while ago.

 

[Al Zarilla]

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.

True, the incredible Derek Lowe. I was so disappointed when the Sox didn't re-sign him.

Yeah. Man, thinking about that series is so fun. Except the Schilling parts, I only think of a little.

Other than ones involving the Red Sox, this is pretty close to my favorite ALCS Game 7. And it bears a strong resemblance to my favorite ALCS Game 7 ever.

 

[Ale Xander]

Joe West weeps at the length of this game

Taveras:2023::JBJ:2018

JBJ was the MVP of the ALCS in 2018. Easy to forget now.

JBJ and Steve Pearce in the WS. Pretty crazy.

Alvarez attacks his ABs

 

[Al Zarilla]

Wonder how many innings they'll let Montgomery go.

 

[joe dokes]

Montgomery doing it with smoke and mirrors. (To his credit).

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Wonder how many innings they'll let Montgomery go.

I was just wondering the same thing. One would think Bochy doesn’t want to lose Montgomery for Game 1 at this stage.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

A couple of one-pitch outs there.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I was just wondering the same thing. One would think Bochy doesn’t want to lose Montgomery for Game 1 at this stage.

Why wouldn't Nate go Game 1?

 

[joe dokes]

Wonder how many innings they'll let Montgomery go.

Id let him keep going until he has more runners than outs.

Edit: unless they tack on a bunch.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I was just wondering the same thing. One would think Bochy doesn’t want to lose Montgomery for Game 1 at this stage.

I mean, with their pen and 12 outs left I don’t think you take any chances to hedge against your Game 1 starter.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Astros need to create some drama or create some excitement. Throw behind Garcia or something. Because they seem done.

 

[derekson]

Glad Abreu is pitching again tonight

 

[Ed Hillel]

Lol

What are your feelings about the next powerball drawing?

 

[canderson]

That sounded like bone

Efut: huh must have been the bat movement or something

 

[joe dokes]

I was at that game in 1988 when Giamatti threw Howell out of the game from the front row.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Mitchy two ribs

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The arbitrator has already ruled that hitting the next hitter in the face cannot result in an ejection because Game 7

 

[strek1]

Garcia would have charged him again.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

What are your feelings about the next powerball drawing?

Hehe. Well, if that was intentional, Texas didn’t take the bait.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I want to see Jonah Heim at a Haim concert

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

His sisters sing good

 

[joe dokes]

Why does Heim look to be 9 feet tall?

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Screw you DeJesus

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

His sisters sing good

Have I told you lately that in addition to being distinguished you are also brilliant?

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

I withdraw post 2635

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Double digits!

 

[InstaFace]

Backin' em down in the Lowe Post.

 

[loshjott]

That was the Bellhorn moment.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I thought Tucker had that. Happy he didn't

 

[joe dokes]

Mookie gets that one.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Oh yez

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Screw you DeJesus

My love language.

This is a beat down. Taste the end, Stros

 

[canderson]

pile on

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Hit it to the Mookie Joe West fan interference seats.

 

[strek1]

The fat lady is warming up early in this one.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

That was the Bellhorn moment.

Good one!

 

[InstaFace]

I say run Pedro out there for the 7th. He's up in the booth, isn't he? Someone find out his cleat size.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Oh noes I get worried the Astros magic will emerge!!111

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Tucker going to be a meme
