Phillies vs. Padres NLCS Thread

...why bunt

 

[canderson]

A BUNT?????

 

[canderson]

Sweeet!

 

[donutogre]

Ok didn’t see that coming but I guess it’ll do? I have no idea. Playoff baseball is so stressful

 

[Ale Xander]

Why the fuck would you do that????????

National League Baseball!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Yep, that was stupid. Managerial malpractice between that and not throwing Hader vs. Harper.

 

[mauidano]

Good AB there Nola....helping your brother go to the WS.

 

[jon abbey]

Damn, two outs on two pitches.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Pads conceding an out there was terrible

 

[teddywingman]

Bunt???

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

I was pulling for the Padres until that bunt. Morons.

 

[Ale Xander]

Grisham
His bunt was a time to kill his teams chances

 

[DeadlySplitter]

THat's one way to have a season-ending inning.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Come on. Pop one out of this band box.

Oops, popped it into the band box.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Well, that ended quickly.

 

[Remagellan]

PHANTASTIC PHINISH!

 

[brandonchristensen]

Congrats to the Phils. Likable team!

 

[Deweys New Stance]

I can't believe they gave away an out in that situation. The Pads deserved to lose for that alone.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What in the flying fuck!?

 

[Average Reds]

Puzzled by that bunt, but as a Phillies fan I approve.

Over.

 

[LogansDad]

I mean, that's a cuttable/fireable offense by whoever made the call to bunt there, right?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That bunt is….uhhhhh

 

[mauidano]

Happy for Schwarber.

 

[zougwa]

They used two pitches to end their season-saving rally.

 

[donutogre]

Goddammit. Will admit that the Phillies feel like a team of destiny at this point.

 

[Ale Xander]

I feel really good for Dumbo Waltham and Harper

 

[Daniel_Son]

Heartbreaking. Absolutely crushed.

 

[patinorange]

I have to assume he bunted on his own trying to get a hit. If that came from the bench, wow.

 

[Ed Hillel]

They bunted for their 9 hitter with 2 outs…LOL

 

[canderson]

Why did they not even take a pitch? SP coming in a tough spot. Just awwwwwful execution

 

[shawnrbu]

When does Dombrowski get inducted into Cooperstown?

 

[Ale Xander]

So hmmm Suarez was the right move , hmmmmmm

 

[Average Reds]

PHANTASTIC PHINISH!

Phucking A right!

 

[Salem's Lot]

Next time the Red Sox are a couple games under .500 and half the board wants to have a fire sale, the other half should remind them of the 87 win 6 seed that got hot and won a pennant.

 

[LogansDad]

I am completely stunned by what just happened. That was..... just.... wow

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

As dirty as it makes me feel, I hope the Astros win the World Series.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Any defenders of the bunt here?

 

[Ale Xander]

Looking forward to the Padres being on this stage again in 14 or so years

 

[Ale Xander]

PHANTASTIC PHINISH!

Phabulous

Hope they get swept (if Astros) though

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

When does Dombrowski get inducted into Cooperstown?

Crazy, how many guys have won championships with three orgs? Pretty wild. Amazing to think that the Sox employed two of the best GM / Baseball Ops guys of the past two decades.

 

[InsideTheParker]

As dirty as it makes me feel, I hope the Astros win the World Series.

You hate the Phillies that much?

 

[Yelling At Clouds]

It is hilarious and amazing that the Phillies are going to the WS. How many people were clowning them all year for having no D?

 

[canderson]

As dirty as it makes me feel, I hope the Astros win the World Series.

This Phillies team is fun as hell. Terrible city, but the team reminds me of the 13 Sox team (but with way worse defense).

 

[Daniel_Son]

Looking forward to the Padres being on this stage again in 14 or so years

Eh... I don't know about that. Adding Tatís to a team that came within 3 wins of the WS is about as good a position as you could ask for.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Also, all that talk about the Phillies defense and their roster construction seems kinda silly. Lots of ways to skin a cat.

 

[BornToRun]

Astros in 5.

 

[LynnRice75]

Any defenders of the bunt here?

Only those wearing Phillie jerseys.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

When does Dombrowski get inducted into Cooperstown?

He has taken four different franchises to the World Series.

 

[donutogre]

Next time the Red Sox are a couple games under .500 and half the board wants to have a fire sale, the other half should remind them of the 87 win 6 seed that got hot and won a pennant.

Comparing the trash fire that was the 2022 Red Sox to this Phillies team is hilarious. Watching them play over the last few weeks makes the Sox’ deficiencies even more glaring.

Wonder what Joe Girardi is thinking? World Series share likely.
