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

[LogansDad]

Hmmm, you don't think there's a correlation?

I 100% do.

 

[derekson]

How is that a hit?

 

[Max Power]

I still trust Wheeler here way more than any of the chumps in the Phillies pen. But putting him back out there now would be pulling a Grady.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Moreno thinking about moving back to SS

 

[LogansDad]

Moreno thinking about moving back to SS

Not sure he can remember where that is at this point.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Oh, well.

 

[Max Power]

Maybe it's pen-proof now.

 

[Al Zarilla]

JT the man!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Damn. They won't be dancing on their own on Monday if this score holds up.

 

[derekson]

That makes up for the GIDP earlier, Realmuto!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Two more unearned runs..

 

[canderson]

That should do it. God I hope they can beat Houston somehow.

 

[LogansDad]

Shit.

 

[E5 Yaz]

At least they'll stop talking about consecutive solo home runs

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Last 16 Phillies HR have been solo shots. Great to have one with a guy on base.

 

[LogansDad]

Did the Big Unit get.... younger?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Did the Big Unit get.... younger?

Ha, it does seem like it. Which is weird since he was pretty old when he retired like 15 years ago

 

[Max Power]

Ha, it does seem like it. Which is weird since he was pretty old when he retired like 15 years ago

He was with the Yankees. Joining the Sith always damages you phsyically.

 

[derekson]

Wow Rojas got bailed out there

 

[DanoooME]

Wow Rojas got bailed out there

Yeah, the glove touched his chest before his hand got back on the bag, should have been called out.

 

[LogansDad]

I can't lie, I love that Griffey vs Joyce Geico ad.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[Marciano490]

Every team left plays good defense.

What a weird coincidence. Huh.

 

[Max Power]

I hate all mid-inning pitching changes, but the one with 2 outs in the 9th is a special kind of annoying.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Phillies must lead the majors in hair these days.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Strahm looks like a dollar store Big Unit Johnson.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Is this Philly Strahm or Boston Strahm?

 

[LogansDad]

Strahm is electric.

Replace the entire Sox coaching staff.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Strahm finish

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Bank will be rocking on Monday

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Strahm is electric.

Replace the entire Sox coaching staff.

How much better would the Sox staff had been ahd they just retained Eovaldi and Strahm?

 

[LynnRice75]

I sure would like two game sevens.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I sure would like two game sevens.

Agreed. More games like Friday's as well.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

If you’re Philly would you rather play Houston with home field or Texas without it?

Has to be Texas without it. No one wants a piece of Houston if they can avoid it.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Particularly the Phillies, since the Houston offense is relentless and the Phillies bullpen is .... err ... not deep

I'm not sure I like Philly's chances against either of them with their bullpen

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'm not sure I like Philly's chances against either of them with their bullpen

true, but the Astros lineup seems deeper

 

[trekfan55]

Any Phillies fan over here? Because looking ahead is dangerous.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

The league seems to really want to make some point...

I am still firmly in the no way it was intentional camp. That is an insane amount of gamesmanship required and feels like the Astros are in the Rangers' heads.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Valdez is leaking oil here, early.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

"Free Bryan Abreu" signs, lol this fanbase.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Dude can’t run to first in the playoffs?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Seager has been terrible in this series.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I was unaware Eovaldi developed a nasty split.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jam job

 

[InsideTheParker]

Crap.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I've never seen Alvarez make an out

 

[Ed Hillel]

Smoltz doesn’t know the rule. You can’t drop a ball intentionally, it’s called an out.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yay!
