lol Kruk

 

[Relayer]

Schwarber looks at a fast ball right down the middle, then strikes out on ball 4. Not a good start.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

This is neither relaxing nor enjoyable

 

[RyanSnyder]

Let's go Bohm!!!!

 

[RyanSnyder]

 

[Relayer]

Glad to tie it, but STOP SWINGING AT PITCHES A FOOT OFF THE PLATE!!

 

[rudedude]

I predict second time thru the line up Pfaadt gets pounded.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

lol Kruk

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Let's hope the trend continues:

 

[Tom McAndrew]

good grief, he rings up Schwarber on a low pitch. this **** has got to stop by the home plate umps.

 

[LB99]

The strike 3 call on Schwarber was BS.

 

[troutrus]

With the technology available, I’d like to see them go with AI

It makes it hard to enjoy the game. Maybe remove the damn rectangle it’s TORTURE

 

[BW Lion]

I’m still trying to figure out whether the generally poor home plate umpiring in all of these series is (a) a function of incompetence, or (b) orchestrated preference by the MLB

I think they just SUCK. no conspiracy required

They still owe Phillies pitching a make-up call later in the game.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Bohm with a walk in the bottom of the 4th, and Stott with a double to plate him.

2-1, Phightins, with 1 out and Stott on 2nd

 

[LB99]

Another shi**y at bat by Casty.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Another shi**y at bat by Casty.

He really is struggling. A HR in his first AB in the NCLS, and nothing since then.

 

[rudedude]

Castellanos is a mutt

 

[LB99]

He really is struggling. A HR in his first AB in the NCLS, and nothing since then.

A microcosm of his entire season. Very hot-very cold. He’s never seen a pitch he didn’t like.

 

[Shadow99]

What is it about Pfaat that makes people want to swing when the ball isn't even CLOSE to the strikezone?

Unfortunately, the Diamondbacks found the right two spots in the lineup.

 

[Relayer]

Good thing Topper didn't move the red hot Marsh up to the 7th spot in the order.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Rojas strikes out with 2 out, and the bases loaded. He took strike one, then swung at a high fastball, and then swung at an outside slider or sweeper.

 

[Nothing Special]

Why not pitch around Carroll with a base open?

 

[Pocono Lion]

Thompson waited one batter too long to take out Suarez.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ugh, I thought Topper would go to the 'pen for Carroll. He didn't, and Carroll hits a single to drive in a run.

2-2

 

[rudedude]

Yeah consensus here was to take out Ranger. Carroll already had two hits.

 

[RyanSnyder]

Why not pitch around Carroll with a base open?

I was thinking that too, but Moreno has been playing really well. He has a hit in six straight games now. Carroll came into tonight with just three hits in the entire series.

Obviously, he's playing well tonight, but I think that's why.

 

[RyanSnyder]

I was thinking that too, but Moreno has been playing really well. He has a hit in six straight games now.

As I type that, Moreno drives in another. Ugh.

 

[Nothing Special]

Pitch around Carroll and it's 2-2. Arizona has outstanding plate discipline for a young team. Never good, when you take a lead and give it up in the next half inning. Need to answer. Probably against the lefty.

 

[Corner Room Breakfast]

Ranger not up to snuff in NLCS, Rojas cold bat, got a bad feeling.

 

[rudedude]

A dude with a mullet is beating the Phillies .

 

[Ten Years After]

(Sarcasm on) How could he take Ranger out for Carroll...lefty vs lefty? Doesn't matter what he did his 1st two ABs(Sarcasm off).

 

[NoSoup4U]

Why not pitch around Carroll with a base open?

exactly make it 1st and 2nd and your bring in your right versus righty. nor need to face a guy that is 2-2 agianst Ranger even if moreno gets a hit you have a slower runner on 2nd

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Harper just misses a HR to left field.

2 outs, and Schwarber on 2nd. Can't leave him out there.

 

[NittPicker]

RISP blows again thus far. 1-8 and the 1 didn't score a run.

 

[rudedude]

Turner doing zilch so far

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Harper just misses a HR to left field.

2 outs, and Schwarber on 2nd. Can't leave him out there.

but Bohm does leave him stranded, as he pops out to end the inning

 

[WestSideLion]

This Phillies team is doing what it does best tonight: squandering quality scoring chances. It's amazing how their lineup and bullpen weaknesses have come back to haunt them in the last 4 games of this series. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

This may loom large in Phillies lore.
