Congrats to the Phillies fans. Maybe a magical run nobody expects like the Braves last year.

Braves pitching was garbage all series but credit Phillies bats - felt like Atlanta put all their eggs in the winning the division basket and just were flat.

Pitching being off and the bats being ice cold are not a good combination. Kind of crazy, but the only team that had a bye and is cruising is the Astros. Gotta wonder if the time off actually ended up being a net negative.

But at same time, Phillies totally earned it. They just seemed to want it more overall. The pitching was fantastic and they put together patient at bats mixed with timely home runs.

Realmuto must be the fastest catcher since prime Jason Kendall.

He is quick. Reminds me of a young Biggio behind the plate.

The Astros definitely aren't cruising. They may be up 2-0 but it could easily be 0-2 without the Alvarez heroics.

It is cool seeing the crowd shots of fans wearing the old Mariners caps. I keep expecting to see Rupert Jones and Tom Paciorek out on the field.

 

[cheeseypoof]

Experienced my first in person playoff baseball game today. Phillies close out the Braves. CBP was rocking from first pitch to last pitch, and them some. Was awesome!!!

Glad there’s a baserunner so I don’t have to watch Garcia’s f’d up windup

This might be the worst playoff game Ive ever seen. This game is a prime example of why baseball sucks. Nobody can shorten their swing and put the ball in play. This game may last ‘Til Tuesday.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Zero runs through 16 innings in Seattle. What a day at the park for those fans.

They are running out of bench players. I think I saw Harold Reynolds and Terry Puhl getting loose.

Spike Owen says don’t you forget about me

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Thank god the Astros must have brought the cheating back to help us get out of this game

That would be cause for a riot here in WI.

I walked 1/2 mile outside today and thought my lungs were going to explode. What a miserable time to play a game.

ETA: I guess two games, in total.

I golfed and walked the course and didn’t really notice. But probably was the equivalent of smoking a couple pacs of Camels

I'm sure it depends upon where in the area you are. I think you're right in the city? I'm a ferry ride across the Sound, and it could be worse here. Or perhaps I'm just in worse shape. I can't testify as to a couple packs of Camels, though.

Just looked up our air quality here, and it is at 162 right now. That's...ungood considering it would have been much higher earlier in the day.

 

[The General]

Tie this **** up

 

[ChiefD]

Did the astros pitcher just balk 4 or 5 times?

Yep. A few miles north of downtown and golfed up in Mukilteo. Def was smokey looking. We walked slow, I zig zagged my way across quite a few holes.

 

[krista4]

It's just as well they put us out of our misery quickly.

It won't be another twenty years for this Mariners squad

SEATTLE—In a shocking revelation that carries grim echoes of the team’s sign stealing in the 2017 and 2018 seasons, multiple players on the Houston Astros were caught Saturday politely asking the Seattle Mariners’ catcher for a little heads-up on the pitch selection. “Hey, man, if you wouldn’t mind letting me know whether he’s going to throw a fastball or curveball, I’d really appreciate it,” Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was heard to utter to Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh in audio provided by a whistleblowing T-Mobile Park staff member. The release of audio conclusively exposing the Astros’ asking-nicely program comes on the heels of several prior allegations made by opposing teams that they’d heard the Astros asking catchers to at least tell them where in the strike zone the pitch was going to be. Anonymous MLB sources have claimed the scandal encompasses multiple Astros staff members, including bench coach Joe Espada, who was seen giving signs to hitters reminding them to say “please.” At press time, an MLB investigation revealed that multiple Astros players had also attempted to unfairly influence the game’s outcome by respectfully informing the first base umpire that it would mean the world to them if he called them safe.
