Phillies vs. Padres NLCS Thread
- Thread starter DeadlySplitter
- Start date
It is going to rain tomorrow in Philly, with it likely to get heavy from mid-to-late game. With Wheeler on full rest and their top two relievers ready for tomorrow, that might be a slightly bad break for the Phils. With their pitching set up as it is, a rain delay of any duration is not something that would benefit them.
They are now saying that the rain will arrive about the fifth inning, but the steadier stuff will be north of the city, so maybe it won't be that disruptive to the game.
I'm watching the morning news and both the women on the broadcast are decked out in Phillies red. This city becomes a small town when its teams are cooking.

They could have gone all Christmas colors because the Iggles are in first place, and undefeated. Nah, go with the team that's soooo close. The Eagles could still implode.
They're on their bye this week, so I'm sure the newscasters will break out the green later in the season. I guess we'll see if they ever suit up in Union blue if the soccer team wins it all.
Would really love that, but I’m pretty resigned to this ending today. Phillies just seem like they got super hot at just the right time here. Same goes for the Astros, not that they weren’t already a juggernaut.
I thought this was going to be an evening game. I'm glad I checked the MLB app on my phone and found out it was on now.
The 4k feed is about 30 second behind the regular HD one, but the extra clarity and colors are worth it. I'll just avoid spoilers for the extra half minute.

Darvish has been so effective getting two double plays. Even though he hit Boehm (sp?), he got Stott to fly out. So far, this game couldn't be more different from yesterday's. Except I do hope the Phillies win, anyway.
Oh wow, Hoskins is completely on fire. That (correctly) overturned call on the stolen base is pretty huge.
Man, Rhys is on fire right now. As someone who followed his minor league career pretty closely, I am pretty pumped for him.
Yeah I was about to say this is a very different game today with Darvish and Wheeler on the mound….and then he serves up a fat one.
I will say not having the pitchers hit is allowing these starters to go a lot longer - which I like.
It also prevents us from having go through the torture of watching pitchers hit.
Can confirm these are awful conditions to play in…I feel like there’s going to have to be a delay soon.
He is most of the time, but he has the same issue Cole does in the postseason. Homeruns. It’s the difference in the game right now.
