2023 MLB Postseason Thread

[hanton]

sac bunt? ok kinda weird with Eovaldi not throwing strikes

[Stangstag]

Dbacks lookin like the Jays tonight

[Omar]

Texas gets out of it.

 

Eovaldi is Houdini tonight.

[hanton]

Gurriel calling off Thomas to make that catch LOL that was as good catch

[Stangstag]

This is peak Blue Jays baseball

[John_Havok]

Attaboy Garver.

[John_Havok]

Cant really put anything on Gallen, dude did his job

[hanton]

dbacks 9 LOB so far

[John_Havok]

How comfortable do you think Bochy is going to Chapman here with a 1 run lead to the top of the order... scale of 1-10.

 

I know he'd say 10, but.... maybe a 4?

[John_Havok]

Ump has been fairly consistently bad at the bottom of the strike zone tonight

[hanton]

yea the 1st pitch to Carrol was right at the bottom of the zone, clearly a strike

but should have been out of the game. idea in these scoreless games is to get your guy out before he gives up a run.

[John_Havok]

GOtta put Seager on here to get the force play at home

[TheHurl]

Remember when Semien signed in Texas and many Jays fans said "I guess he doesn't want to win"

you got your best pitcher. I don't mind them challenging him on the corners.

Pretty much the unintentional intentional walk and tried to get lucky with Seager getting himself out. DIdnt work, Seager only chased 2 of the 6 balls.

[John_Havok]

Ginkel coming in clutch. Getting Texas to watch the killable fastballs because theyre all looking slider.

[Stangstag]

That was a fair comment at the time

[Stangstag]

Ooof thats a huge error by Thomas. But the 2nd run was probably enough.

 

Sewald been pretty s*** this series

 

GG Dbacks.

[BigCecil]

Well the long Tex wait for a ring is over. They had some serious balls with those signings. Got to tip your cap.

Its funny because of the 2010, 2011, 2023 Rangers WS teams, this is probably the weakest. But they get it done.

 

Phils/Rangers would have been a much better series. Dbacks overrated af

[Stangstag]

If the Dbacks had some more elite bats like Semien and Seager then they could’ve won this. Instead they have a bunch of scrubs like Carroll and Walker

[thatoneguy]

Bochy has to be getting up there in the pantheon of greatest managers of all time at this point.

Boss move would be to go back into retirement immediately haha

[Jimcanuck]

D'backs played tonight like Jays did all year

[Dick_Pole]

And there is the end to one of the most unsatisfying baseball seasons both from a perspective Jays fan and baseball in general that I have lived through. Imagine 2023 without the pitch clock lol.

[MikeM3]

In the land of big brain teams it was a big balls team who said f*** it Yolo and won.

 

Although I think their hitting coach is probably the best in the game

[Omar]

I picked Seager for the mvp before the series started.

 

Game one was a blast but pretty average from there on. Pretty much as we all suspected, Texas stomps them. Not very inspiring as can be seen by the low number of comments in the post season thread.

 

Bring on the offseason.

[Masterbather]

Well it goes to show that Cinderella teams can go far but it's rare that they finish the deal. Texas found enough pitching which is all their offense needed.

Feel the exact same way
