GDT: 2023 NL WCS: (4) Philadelphia Phillies vs. (5) Miami Marlins

[GKJ]

Wheeler is at the end here, this has been a tough inning. Then he doesn’t move to the bag

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

An ace leaving the game with only 100 pitches and having allowed 1 run in a playoff game.

What happened to the game I love?

He was clearly done. That was almost 30 pitches in the inning.

He got a bit unlucky though. BABIP. Time for him to get pulled though.

The umping in this game is terrible and with Doug Eddings tomorrow it will only get worse. Automatic strikezone please.

They stopped playing it before you were born. Gaylord Perry threw over 300 CGs during my lifetime. Today's SPs can only get 200 wins.

 

[Halladay]

Rob Thomson is terrible, letting Kimbrel close. Fire him.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Kimbrel gets it done with relatively little agita for Phillies fans.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

That was funny, intentional balk of the runner at 2nd. Kenley Jansen has done that a few times.

Wonder if theres any rule where the runner can refuse and stay at 2nd.

Kimbrel does it regularly if it’s pissing him off.

He also doesn’t give a shit about the pitch clock if he’s got it 0-2

 

[Sombastate]

Honestly the game felt way closer than it realistically was. I'd far prefer closing this out tomorrow

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Where is Berti going?!

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Sure seems we will have four sweeps, Realmuto goes deep to put PHI up by 3.

 

[GKJ]

Big story that Nola gave up 2 base runners and didn’t melt down.

 

[Halladay]

No lead is ever safe for Nola. Did a good job of getting out of it, though I think they should pull him or at least go batter to batter.

 

[GKJ]

Back to back double plays

 

[John Price]

doesn't look like we'll get any game 3's

 

[GKJ]

Grand Dinger for Bryson Stott.

 

[Sorry]

Pathetic that Schumaker never came out to argue some of those "strike" calls.

 

[GKJ]

Orion Kerkering is a problem

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Props to Skip for squeezing out what he did out of that Marlins team.

Phillies just had way too much going for them and the home field advantage is very real in that ballpark.

 

[GKJ]

Jazz Chisholm is going to spend all winter relearning how to swing after what I saw in these two games

 

[yada]

So exciting both the braves and dodgers play a team from their own division despite the fact that reseeding would have meant braves play dbacks and dodgers play phillies.

Hooray for baseball

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Would be something if the Phillies somehow managed to knock the Braves out for the 2nd year in a row...
