Phillies vs. Padres NLCS Thread

[Al Zarilla]

I don't think the Red Sox pinch run for their better hitters late (or anytime).

 

[mauidano]

What is the point of these in game interviews?

 

[Daniel_Son]

I'm shocked they did an interview with Bell. You'd think this was a Phillies broadcast.

 

[phrenile]

Seranthony doesn't have it

Seranthony Dominguez: a zesty unhinged moron.

I don’t like it. Keep non-players out of the dugout during the game.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Cmon Grisham

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cmon Grisham

Or come on wild pitch.

 

[mauidano]

Wow! You knew that was coming!

 

[Ale Xander]

Are you kidding me?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Wow! You knew that was coming!

Ha!

 

[Ale Xander]

Stupid to be playing in this

 

[Daniel_Son]

!!!!!!!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Crap. Do the Phillies have another comeback in them? Will the Padres have to pitch in the rain also, or will there be a delay?

 

[canderson]

Throwing a soaking wet baseball is hard, who knew

 

[Max Power]

Seranthony is not a mudder.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Pulling Bell could be a mistake.

 

[LogansDad]

With the pitch clock, will removing mud from cleats count against it?

It will be umpires judgement. The players still have the ability to call timeout occasionally if they need it (i.e. dirt in the eye or something), but it is up to the umpire to prevent players from overusing it. It will take a bit of adjustment for the players, but I think most of the kinks will be worked out in spring training. It worked really well in AA this year.

Schwarber hasn't hit his homer yet today, so they should be in decent shape.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Pulling Bell could be a mistake.

I don't see any way you could keep him in at that point.

 

[Remagellan]

This looks like it might go down as the Milli Vanilli Game here in Philly (Philli Vanilli?)

 

[brandonchristensen]

I don't see any way you could keep him in at that point.

Maybe I missed something? Why wouldn't you want his bat later?

 

[Daniel_Son]

With Seranthony as wild as he was, they needed the speed on the basepaths.

 

[brandonchristensen]

With Seranthony as wild as he was, they needed the speed on the basepaths.

gotcha. Well - he's out of the game now and the PR didn't score.

EDIT:
Wait - did he score? It's 3-2 now lol.My focus is very split right now.

[Ale Xander]

Geese are funny creatures

Yeah, I thought they made a mistake taking Bell out.

Blame the schedule. If the Padres win, these teams have another game tomorrow in SD.

 

[Average Reds]

Darvish looks like he’s just floating his curve up there. Won’t be surprised if someone launches one.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He did

 

[Ale Xander]

Brunansky would have had it

 

[LogansDad]

Man, I can't believe they left Darvish in.

 

[brandonchristensen]

He did

My bad!

but yeah - leaving Darvish in was unwise

 

[Ale Xander]

Blame the schedule. If the Padres win, these teams have another game tomorrow in SD.

Yeah tomorrow should be travel day
It should dry up around 7

 

[donutogre]

Close enough. This is going to be an absolute nail-biter of an inning.

Either that or someone will whack a hit right now and get this over with quickly.

They really need to rethink the way these series were scheduled this postseason.

 

[LogansDad]

They really need to rethink the way these series were scheduled this postseason.

They will, when they presumably start the season on time next year. This is a one time thing.

 

[mauidano]

High heat and Smoltzie was right.

 

[Ale Xander]

Every team has a bullpen except us

 

[Average Reds]

Looks like they’ll get away with it, but I was astonished the Padres left him in to toss eight consecutive frisbee spinners up there.

 

[mauidano]

At this point, middle relief is incredibly important.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Schwarber is either going to hit a bomb or make an out.

 

[donutogre]

I am afraid of Schwarber here.

 

[Remagellan]

They will, when they presumably start the season on time next year. This is a one time thing.

Hopefully they'll consider reseeding after each series.

 

[mauidano]

Horrible miss blue. Walk him now.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Horrible call

 

[mauidano]

Yuge out!

 

[brandonchristensen]

Great performance!

 

[Daniel_Son]

Huge inning coming up. San Diego needs insurance badly.

 

[teddywingman]

Horrible call

That was about as bad as it can get.

 

[phrenile]

That was about as bad as it can get.

You'd have to do it in the bottom of the 9th instead of the 7th, maybe.
