That throw was crazy

Schwarberfest

3 homers since this was announced. Don't get between a man and discounted sammiches.

Hmm. If I can get a $6 meatball sub I might have to do it

 

[Orlando]

So many two strike meatballs thrown by padre pitching today.

 

[pavel]

What time is tomorrows game? 10am?

 

[Southpaw]

Had to turn it off. Football more entertaining.

 

[goblue96]

What time is tomorrows game? 10am?

2:30 pm eastern. 11:30 am God's Time

 

[goblue96]

Only one way to find out.

arsenal 9am tomorrow TOP OF THE TABLE

 

[Orlando]

Nola stares at two fastballs down the middle and swings at a pitch in the dirt. Padres strategy at the plate in a nutshell.

 

[pavel]

Its maddening

 

[kella]

inspired by Tigers 2006/12 world series appearances I see

 

[Orlando]

Soto being a GG finalist boggles my mind

 

[Southpaw]

He doesn’t make many errors but yeah he sure doesn’t track down balls that others would.

He should prolly be DH.

 

[CJ_24]

Machado, wellbye.gif

 

[goblue96]

Danger Suarez!

 

[Southpaw]

Welp they got further than I thought they would. Get Tatis back and dump some dead weight and salary and let’s go get em next year.

 

[Orlando]

Phillies hit bombs. Hopefully they can do it against the astros pitching.

Still don’t understand not putting in Hader there, but it is what it is. Good season.

 

[Wolfman21]

Phillies rockin that voodoo magic the Braves has last year

 

[Southpaw]

Well bye to Myers, Grisham, Nola, Clevinger, Bell and Manaea.

 

[Wolfman21]

Harper hits a homer to send the Phillies to the series.

THATS WHATS IN

 

[goblue96]

Well played, SLAM DIEGO. A couple of calls go the other way and it’s a different series.

 

[pavel]

Pulling for Philly in the WS for sure. I was tempted to put a “for sale” sign in Clevibger’s yard last night, holy shit

 

[pavel]

Well bye to Myers, Grisham, Nola, Clevinger, Bell and Manaea.

I think Drury too. Tatis in CF and Soto in RF would be comedy.

No need to look off this dying vine:

Phillies are the dumbest of all the genders. Lmbo at blaming Girardi

Girardi has been holding them back, now the season will turn around!

 

[Brick]

11th best record in the league tho. were they wrong. beat da best pitchers and hitters in da playoffs when it counted! FUN

 

[Mr. Radpants]

It worked, but I still think it was dumb.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Phillies were still 25/30 in defensive metrics. They got hot at exactly the right time. Different roster and and Nats didn’t fire Davey after a slow start, but this run is a lot like 2019 Nats.

 

[kella]

the only thing that matters is finishing September on a heater. There's shit teams that did that who would win the WS if they got in lol

 

[kella]

heck it's happened. see 2019 NATTINALS

 

[Orlando]

I think Drury too. Tatis in CF and Soto in RF would be comedy.

I hope they keep Drury.

 

[goblue96]

Good luck, Houston.

 

[Orlando]

Teams with less than 90 wins don’t win the WS all that often. The Phillies and Padres weren’t even that great in Sept. pretty much every playoff team had a better record in September.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

The real secret to the Phillies success is KLong btw. That dude is the best in the business. Cheap ass Nats wouldn’t give him a multi-year contract and he went to Philly. He fixed Schwarber in DC and then the idiot Nats exported them both to the worst city on the planet.

None of this matters either, Nats are going to be sold to Leonsis and they’ll never be good again.

 

[kella]

rmemener when the Phillies CORCH was Gabe kapler

 

[goblue96]

Someday Bryson Scott is going to be told about the interview he gave while wearing a Budweiser case as a hat because he sure isn't gonna remember it.

 

[goblue96]

in the playoffs, you worry about the 9th inning when you get there. The Phils threw Jose Alvarado, Seranthony Dominguez, Zach Eflin and Ranger Suarez in the 9h inning to get the four wins.

The Padres went out and got Hader for excatly this situation tonight and then didn’t use him.

 

[pavel]

It wasn’t the 9th tho- 6 outs is a lot for that dude. Even with his recent success, I didn’t fully trust him

 

[goblue96]

The Padres don't need him to get six outs and close out the game. They need him to three outs in the 8th and figure out the 9th with another reliever. It's a hindsight is 20-20 type scenario but it's hard to justify leaving the biggest weapon in the bullpen just because they don't trust him to get six outs.

 

[pavel]

I’m ok with the decision. Realmuto getting a hit was key. Don’t think you want to walk the tying run into scoring position, and Suarez had been solid

 

[goblue96]

Cheapest tickets on Stubhub for Game 3 at Citizens Bank are $1250 for SRO and $1500 to put my ass in an actual seat. I'm ok with the decision to put my ass on the couch at watch from home.

 

[Schauwn]

No need to look off this dying vine:

I think you’ll see that I said it would turn their season around, and I was right.

 

[bruin]

Go Phills

 

[kella]

I hope schwarber hits 20 dingers

Uhh ok. That’s one approach. Giants and Royals and others build insane pens that shortened the game by nine outs for years, leading to inflated reliever salaries for a decade. Nats had the most piecemeal bullpen I had seen win a WS in years in 2019.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Padres ownership just had the worst thing possible happen when it comes to AJ Preller. Can’t fire the guy that finally got them almost to the promise land for the first time in almost 25 years but keeping him is going to likely get you lesser results next season. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Orlando]

I hate the decision. Why even have Hader warming up if not to face Harper? Who cares about the 9th at that point. It would be the bottom of the order.
