Phillies vs. Padres NLCS Thread

[phrenile]

Must have the roof closed, eh.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Musgrove is locked out.

 

[McBride11]

Must have the roof closed, eh.

Laughed way to hard at this. Well played

 

[Remagellan]

I'll say it again - for those of us cable-cutters (which is what, 90% of the 18-34 yo demographic), not having the postseason on MLB.TV is a goddamn travesty. It's like asking for an extra $20 bucks to watch the season finale of a TV show.

Actually, it's even worse - I'd begrudgingly pay extra for access to the postseason. They don't even offer that as an option. It's like watching 6 seasons of a TV show and the network telling viewers they can either go to the bar down the street and finish up there or get fucked.

That's weird because MLB.TV used to offer a postseason option.

 

[LogansDad]

Musgrove looks the opposite of good.

 

[Al Zarilla]

This game might be over really fast.

 

[E5 Yaz]

This could be 4-0 in a moment

This could be 4-0 in a moment

First pitch swinging...

 

[Daniel_Son]

That's weird because MLB.TV used to offer a postseason option.

Here's the details this year.

 

[Daniel_Son]

SD's infield defense is so good.

 

[phrenile]

This could be 4-0 in a moment

The Phillies don't have to give back the run once they've scored it.

 

[LogansDad]

That was a wizard level escape

?

 

[phrenile]

Gotta be at least 4-1. /deadpan

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Musgrove was totally out of sync with his mechanics. Arm lagging behind his shoulder.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Fucking 8:04 shutdown.

 

[LogansDad]

35 MPH off the bat for the Padres first hit. Aaron Boone weeps.

Something was lagging

D'oh

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Something was lagging

Masturbation jokes go on the main board. We've discussed this before E5.

 

[LogansDad]

Ooof, Myers just missed that

 

[Al Zarilla]

Drat.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Soto is an adventure in right field

 

[strek1]

Jean Jean the fielding machine!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

The TBS crew is much better than these guys.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Soto is an adventure in right field

Therefore, in my opinion, over-rated.

 

[mauidano]

I remain completely unimpressed with ANY of these in game interviews with players or managers.

 

[Remagellan]

I loved Smoltz as a player, but whoever said he talks too much was spot on. Let the game breathe, dude.

That's one of the numerous things that made Scully great. He knew when to not say anything. Works equally well in music too.

 

[Ale Xander]

Shift this

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Safe at second.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Profar not very good sofar.

 

[strek1]

Geez Smoltz STFU!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Maybe the Phillies lineup needs a little juggling.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Geez Smoltz STFU!

It's funny, I've sort of tuned him out, without actually muting the telly. I just don't listen. I can't do that with Mazz, b/c his voice is so irritating.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I just saw that Soto is one of the finalists for gold glove at RF. This completely devalues that award for me.

 

[Remagellan]

Nice makeup by Segura.

And then that. Jean's a very volatile stock in this game.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

A really dumb error, very good piece of two out hitting, and a very dumb pickoff. What an inning.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Hey, maybe the Red Sox don't have the worst base-running in mlb!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Bat flips on singles now?

 

[strek1]

Boy Segura is having an eventful night. One good defensive play and one bad. One big offensive moment and one bad. He did give them the lead back though.

 

[Max Power]

This feels like the year of the pickoff.

 

[teddywingman]

This feels like the year of the pickoff.

I was thinking the same. Seems like there's been a bunch.

 

[LogansDad]

I'm gonna say it... I see no way the Phillies are in on Xander. Stott is excellent.

 

[phrenile]

Bat flips on singles now?

More of a spike.

I agree, but you never know with Dombrowski's love of stars

 

[strek1]

What's this about? Suarez only 68 pitches and just 2 hits but he's gone already. Is he not used to throwing a lot of pitches?

 

[LogansDad]

Going to the pen this early with 5 days of games in a row seems like madness to me.

 

[Al Zarilla]

This announcer gets far too excited on singles.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh wow, what a play.
