2022 NLCS Phillies vs Padres

[WBT 20572]

The two teams everyone wanted to see square off.  Game 1 is Tuesday night.

[WBT 20572]

Fangraphs has the Padres as the 51/49 favorites.  I think it should be fun seeing two new teams in this round and I hope it goes 6 or 7.

[Doc Sam Beckett 5793]

Los Padres!

I like this series in that I don't hate either team.  Have liked the Padres through the years, and son lives about 5 blocks from Petco Park.  We were just at a Dodgers/ Padres game there about a month ago.  I like how the Padres 'fit' the San Diego culture.

Go Padres! San Diego in 6.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

I've got nothing against either team, the Padres haven't been a contender in decades, and the Phillies only had a few years in the 2000s where they were. Both teams have notable stars, and have been scoring well so far in the playoffs. It should be a shootout for a few games, which is always entertaining. 

[WBT 20572]

Wheeler vs Darvish in Game 1.  Both teams have had 2 days off, so pitching should be in good shape.

[WBT 20572]

Harper vs Soto.  At least National fans can sleep easy knowing they locked Strasburg up.

[Valmy77 13226]

Go Padres! Jackin it in San Diego!

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Suck fucking play by Crone to save a run. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Nice fucking play.

[WBT 20572]

Nice play by Cronenworth

[Beau Vine 54230]

I see my girl Milfy McBlondo is back in row 1.

And BILL FUCKING WALTON in row 2 on the other side!

I am so on the Pad bandwagon.

[WBT 20572]

Whoa, I didn't notice Walton.  I wonder whose jersey he's wearing.

Both pitchers are off to good starts.

[Scraps 13561]

Just tuned in....first thing I notice....fucking Walton.

I bet he is high as fuck

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Walton in the house? My.

I can't believe Darvish is in his 17th pro season. Damn.

I'd pay money to listen to Walton call this game instead of Smoltz.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

I see Yu Bryce

[Beau Vine 54230]

YUUUUUUUU DARVISH, THROW IT DOOOWWWWWWN, BIG MAN!!!

[WBT 20572]

That was rather crushed

[Surly Bevo 24908]

That was CRUSHED

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Holy shit!  Second deck RF at night in SD is no joke.  

[WBT 20572]

119.7 mph/25 deg/488 feet.  Savant also had the xBA as 1.000, lulz.

Hit it over the marine layer.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Jurickson "A Bridge" Profar

[Planet Houston 4930]

I’m sure that’s the hardest hit ball in the Statcast era right?

120?!?!? Woah.

Nah… like 4th hardest this year.  Cruz hit one 122. 

[Dnaguy 11964]

Everywhere from Fleetwood Mac is a great song.

Fuck this car commercial for beating me over the head with it.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Maybe you need to shuffle more, Soto.

Oops. I thought the hardest was 118 or something. But a quick google does say Cruz’s 122 was the hardest ever. So it’s up there all time.

Homers only.

Yank-ees indeed!

I’ll see myself out…..

 

serious note, though, how Stanton generates that kind of bat speed with a closed stance is some kind of weird glitch in the matrix. Nuts.

[WBT 20572]

They really pulled Wheeler after 83 pitches, allowing 1 hit and 1 walk?  I really hope they lose now.

[Scraps 13561]

Ok well at least this is interesting

[WBT 20572]

Not sure you want to walk Profar ahead of Soto and Machado.  Let's see how it plays out.

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Right after sweating the improved IF D. 

[Scraps 13561]

Bohmer'd

[WBT 20572]

Catch the ball bro

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Oops

[Scraps 13561]

If machado walks this off the gaslamp district will be in flames tonight

the shawty blonde home plate aint bad

[WBT 20572]

Everyone standing.  Someone paid a grand to not be able to see the biggest ab of the night because they're behind goofyass Walton.

And now all up to Josh Bell.  Wonder what FJLA is thinking right now.

Edited October 19, 2022 by WBT

[Scraps 13561]

Josh bell should bat 8th

Prove me wrong

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Well that game was pretty quick

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

He starts Drury over Bell against lefties, probably should use him here too. 

 

Drive home safely. 

[WBT 20572]

See you tomorrow
