GDT: 2023 NLCS: (4) Philadelphia Phillies vs. (6) Arizona Diamondbacks

[Halladay]

Kerkering is cooked

He needs to throw his fastball, he hardly does. But he, Kimbrel, and Taijuan are all useless.

 

[GKJ]

Phillies have never played a Game 7

 

[GKJ]

Kimbrel warming up because why

 

[Halladay]

Dumb dumb baseball.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Congrats on the Dbacks making this a series but Ranger will end it tomorrow ( barring some come back tonight).. But that Pfaadt kid has pitched real well this postseason so I think it will be a low scoring game that the Phillies will eek out in the end.

I picked Philadelphia in 7 so everything is going as I've foreseen.....so far.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Not even sure who would be favored in a Phillies/Rangers series.

Phillies losing to Arizona would be a huge missed opportunity though. I thought they would sweep this series.

With competent managing this is probably over in 5. RT had other plans though that ended with Kimbrel.

Before the game 19 of the Phils 23 homers were for one run. I was concerned.

The baseball postseason is a funny game. All the top teams knocked out very early.

Does the bye format play a role?

I'm sorry WHAT?!

That's ridiculous.

 

[John Price]

put some more money on philly winning in game 7

no way they lose 6 and 7 at cbp, no way bud

It's unlikely, but also not impossible. After getting completely outclassed in Games 1-2 Arizona has won 3 of 4 and have zero pressure. Look at how many favorites have been knocked out so far.

That being said I stand by my Phillies in 7 pick.

no

Need Pfaadt to have a repeat of game 3, and 3 runs in the first few innings just like last night will go a long way. Carroll and Walker, where are you?

It could happen but though the Phillies should win this game but you never know. They looked lifeless last night after the 2nd inning. The key is not falling more than a run down especially early. If Ranger can hold them to 0s in the 1st and 2nd innings that will go a long way. Of course them scoring early helps too. Pfaadt was really good in game 3 but the number of home runs he gave up on the road this season was atrocious. I dont expect him to be as good in game 3 but won't get bombed.

This, NBA, Frozen Frenzy, huge night in sports.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

A fielder's choice puts the Snakes on the board first.

Hard to win a Game 7 when you've never played in a Game 7.

 

[GKJ]

Alec Bohm hits a dinger

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Ranger not generating much danger, very solid.

 

[Elvis P]

Bohm goes the dynamite.

Bohm field advantage.

 

[GKJ]

Phillies get a run without a dinger

 

[GKJ]

Do not hit into a double play
