NLDS Game Thread

[Al Zarilla]

Lackey pitching tonight for the Cards. Didn't know that until just now. Getting the game on my TV. No more MLB Network telecasts this postseason. 

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Where can one listen to this game? I found a TV feed on a cable French channel but nothing in English (we don't get the MLBN on our local cable package - despite complaining for a year)

It doesn't appear to be on ESPN radio either ..

It seems to be here.

Not synced in any way w/ the TV. (way behind, apparently)

 

[jimc]

Might have a shot at the KNBR website. I'm listening to KNBR through mlb.tv.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Brandon Belt has a great eye. If he ever became available, jump.

 

[johnmd20]

Great catch.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bases loaded for the best hitting pitcher since, who? Earl Wilson? Don Drysdale? 

 

[Al Zarilla]

Getting pitches out of Fister anyway. 

 

[Sprowl]

May I join in offering a hearty FU to the baseball industry shitheads-that-be who kept the Giants-Nats game off an accessible network. :angry:

 

[jimc]

Be interesting to see if they try to work something out long term with Belt. He was super 2 this year but they avoided arb. He's a guy I'd be comfortable committing to through a couple FA years.

Dolla bills, yo, get in the way of accessibility. What cable provider do you use?

Hey Spowl .. It's on the TVA French channel

He is a smooth fielder too, but of course, as soon as I look him up on Fangraphs, they have him as a minus fielder. No way.

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]You don't get MLBN? That's too bad, b/c they pick up and broadcast all over the country lots of regional games all season long that you can't see w/o extra innings or mlb.tv. Apparently, if you have the more expensive version of mlb.tv, you can watch the games live using that.[/SIZE]

Telus BC. Wall-to-wall pay-per-view, except for sports like baseball.

 

[Spacemans Bong]

Hey Spowl .. It's on the TVA French channel

Is it Jacques Doucet and Rodger Brulotte on the mic? If so, wondering how hard they're pulling for the Giants.

I thought I did, but I'd rather complain to God (and the board) than pay them another cent for a separate "playoff package".

Vraiment? Merci!

No idea .. my French is sadly under utilized.

 

[Sprowl]

No idea .. my French is sadly under utilized.

 
What channel number are you using? I get TVA on 2006, but there's no baseball, just TVA nouvelles, Le tricheur, Vol 920 and Toute la verite...

 

[Spacemans Bong]

No idea .. my French is sadly under utilized.

Doucet has a deep bass voice and Brulotte yells a lot. Like, practically all the time.

Edit: they did the Expos games for decades, hence their likely bias towards the Giants.

 

[canderson]

Natstown isn't scoring, are they.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Natstown isn't scoring, are they.

Giants aren't exactly the 03 - 04 Red Sox either.

Yeah I looked that up too. Does Fangraphs do a positional adjustment or something? Because he is at least a neutral 1B to my eye. FWIW Tango's fan scouting report grades him solidly above average.

Just refuse when they say you need to download the player. It came through for me.

It appears to be the TVA sports channel .. TVASH .. Channel 768 on Eastlink cable in Halifax if that's any help .. Which it probably isn't as you are 5000 miles away

 

[Al Zarilla]

I'm not one to ask about that. Tango got it right. He reminds people of JT Snow around here, who also gets minuses from Fangraphs. George Scott too. I give up.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Just a heads up. The Dodgers-Cardinals game is on Cartoon Network.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

not sure Vasg understands the meaning of cliche

 

[Al Zarilla]

Vasgersian is terrible. He never says anything that makes you think, gee never thought of that. Fact, only Eck is doing that this postseason. Pedro, of course, after games on TBS.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Ahh .. I do remember them .. I think that it's the same guys.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Yep .. That's the regular TVA channel .. It appears there's also a sports channel .. Which I didn't know existed until today

 

[canderson]

Wow what a terrible attempt.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

HOPE

 

[Fishercat]

Wow, that was interesting.

 

[MakMan44]

This would've been great a couple days ago. 

 

[mikeford]

hell of a slide by Ramos, top notch

 

[semsox]

#natitude

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

Bullshit, where's Huey Lewis?

 

[mikeford]

bright with gold, Tony?

 

[scottyno]

he got the words wrong

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

BTW, I hope everyone saw that sweet Panda dive.  Guy definitely turns it up a notch for the post-season.  

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

he got the words wrong

It shouldn't be sung at ballgames anyway.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Jesus Christ, Tony Bennett is 88.

 

[mikeford]

It shouldn't be sung at ballgames anyway.

or ever

 

[Al Zarilla]

POG is Harper for sure.

 

[semsox]

Random question. Let's say Harper actually did trap that ball. How would the umpires sort that play on video review? Would the batter just get 1st and they keep Belt at 2nd?

I believe so .. It's up to the umps to place the base runners where they think they would have ended up.

Well then, Belt to third. He was on second base. 

 

[InsideTheParker]

gloria estafan is one of the keys to the game? what?
 
also, Giants fans, how much of the season has Pagan missed? i liked him in the ws.
