2023 WS Game/Discussion Thread: 2021 100+ Game Loser Edition

[Wallball Tingle]

Looks like that's what they're looking for: a run.

Agreed. Loser's game plan.

 

[strek1]

D backs stranding these runners reminds of another team we know.

 

[Ale Xander]

I don't want baseball to be over in 23, go Dbacks for this game.

 

[patinorange]

I don't wanted baseball to be over in 23, go Dbacks for this game.

I'm with you. Don't really care who wins but it would be nice to go seven.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Announcer get excited much over a bloop double?

 

[Max Power]

This has been the best 4k picture quality I've seen in a major sporting event so far. Most have had a lot of problems with switching from overexposure to underexposure, but Fox has kept the brightness under control. And they switched to gray for the numbers in the graphics so they're not blinding white. Now if they could make it so the pitch box doesn't have a different color than the rest of the screen it would be perfect. And fire Smoltz. That would help, too.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

NASTY!

 

[Ale Xander]

This announcing team suuuuuuuucks

I long for Costas and Kaat

Smoltz often says good stuff about pitching, but he talks so fast a lot of the time that I have to mute him.

 

[Ale Xander]

truped

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Gallen has 48 pitches but based on the last few balls hit, he's gotta go soon.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Oh, my, I feared that was going gone.

 

[joe dokes]

Not just a nice running catch, but both OFs knew what was going on. Half the teams in MLB either get a collision or the ball drops.

 

[Remagellan]

Don Larsen pops opens a bottle of champagne somewhere in the afterlife.

 

[Ale Xander]

Dammit

 

[joe dokes]

I think this is right. Just a hair less sharp is pretty important against Texas..

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Second-pitch strike was nicely placed. Strike 3 also good.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I think this is right. Just a hair less sharp is pretty important against Texas..

He's being stingy with his pitches and he has a no-no (which means absolutely nothing when its win or go home). But they are seeing him now and piecing him up. Its only a matter of time before one evades one of the DBacks OFs or a wall.

And Yogi gets a glass.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I expected CC to try to get a big hit, which I don't think is his best approach, because he was sick of being stranded by his teammates.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Smoltz: “I’ve said it before” . . .

Why, yes, John, you have. And no doubt you will again.

 

[Remagellan]

I want more games but I find it impossible to root against Nate.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Smoltz: “I’ve said it before” . . .

Smoltz needs to let himself breathe, let alone the game.

 

[Ale Xander]

LFG!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

loser

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Nathan EvoHoudini

 

[InsideTheParker]

That was disgusting. AZ making it very hard to root for them. I officially no longer care.

 

[Remagellan]

The great escape!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Daisuke Eovaldi

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That was disgusting. AZ making it very hard to root for them. I officially no longer care.

But unofficially you will still watch no? This is a pretty great baseball game.

 

[AB in DC]

Not digging the first-pitch swing against a guy who's been laboring.

 

[Ale Xander]

Stupid 84 win team

 

[Al Zarilla]

I don't remember a 0-0 game like this: i.e. one pitcher constantly having to get out of trouble and the other just cruising.

 

[Remagellan]

I'm put off that we now have cameras that record moments in our lives that never existed.

 

[InsideTheParker]

But unofficially you will still watch no? This is a pretty great baseball game.

Yeah, I'll watch, but I am tired of caring.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

That was disgusting. AZ making it very hard to root for them. I officially no longer care.

I’m rooting for Arizona, but against a reliever, not against Nate.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'm put off that we now have cameras that record moments in our lives that never existed.

THAT'S how they go film of my prom

 

[InsideTheParker]

I don't remember a 0-0 game like this: i.e. one pitcher constantly having to get out of trouble and the other just cruising.

You cruise, You lose. Maybe.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I’m rooting for Arizona, but against a reliever, not against Nate.

Agreed. I find I can't root against him

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Lovullo is rolling with Gallen here and its working but this game feels like one run is the difference. I wonder how much longer he goes.

 

[Al Zarilla]

You cruise, You lose. Maybe.

Maybe, hopefully, in my rooting case.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Lovullo is rolling with Gallen here and its working but this game feels like one run is the difference. I wonder how much longer he goes.

I will keep being negative and wrong.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I will keep being negative and wrong.

You're one of us now

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Fucking Gallen. Dealfest

 

[Looch]

Nathan Neptune Balls!

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

I love you, man!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Perdomo has taken strike three two ABs in a row. Oh, well.

 

[Wallball Tingle]

Fox should offer a "no Smoltz" plan like the streaming companies offer "no ads".

 

[Max Power]

Perdomo has taken strike three two ABs in a row. Oh, well.

Another 10 or 15 at bats and he'll think to look for the fastball on the outside corner with 2 strikes.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Smoltz just jinxed the nono successfully.
