ez donezo - phillies ftw.

He's on a revenge tour against Padres for that HBP by Snell that sidelined his MVP season. Also, why the f*** would Melvin leave Hader in the bpen against the heart of the order with 2 innings to go? This another Buck/Britton scenario?!

Harper 2 run bomb lol 4 - 3 Phillies 5 HRs this postseason god damn

Padres tie it! Edit: and take the lead!

lol 1-4 for phillies are unstoppable hoskins 2 run bomb

Suffice to say Harper's thumb issue has resolved for the postseason; dude's been a stud.

Feels like if Brad Hand didn't pitch this series, Phillies would've already been at the WS lol

Bruh Segura's hit against Musgrove, oof. Good pitch, better hitting.

No way, dude is a gold glove nominee!

1. That's because data was crunched (Statcst) and Springer covered the ground needed to cover (he covered 84 feet when he needed to cover 82 feet or something to that effect) and had a 75% chance to catch the ball (because, supposedly, the ball had a spin which was taking it to LF ergo the weird trajectory by both Bo and George). If Bo had 80% chance to make the catch and Springer had 75% catch, it is still common sense to give it to the CF. If Bo had 100% chance to make the catch, then he let up, then fine maybe we rip him for it. But there was no way running backward into shallow CF on a low pop fly gives more % chance to a SS than to a CF assuming both can get to it. 2. George was also calling for it, you can visibly see it in the replays. I doubt Bo heard it however considering the arena and the noise level. George also saw Bo wasn't stopping and veered away in a defensive slide almost. 3. This wasn't his first time doing this this year, and most times everyone else makes concessions for him whether he makes the play our not. The OF run against Teo/Springer in an earlier game (NY series I think?), the running to 1B to make a pop out when it was in Vlad's territory and then getting annoyed with Vlad for making the play, and there was another collision with someone earlier in the season where he ran into LF to make a play. I don't hate Bo, he's one of the more consistent players offensively year-to-year and has good first moves + range towards balls in play to SS (his drawback being his his arm) but you can easily see the difference in going for those plays v. not by watching the ATL/Phillies match where Swanson does make a play that Bo wanted to make in no-man's land (whoever was playing CF had no shot to get to it) or the SEA/HOU match where Crawford gives up on a ball that is going to no-man's land because JRod was running right at it and that he'd make it (similar drop point to where Bo/Springer collision happened, maybe a bit closer to the infield but Crawford broke to it and then stopped realizing he might or might not make the play, but CF had a better shot at it due to the angle). Its a fine attitude to have, in general, to be the dude that carries the team and all that but not at the cost of potentially losing games and/or injuring players. The game loss wasn't on him, either way. That was a bloop. You roll with it.

lol that list for 1B, I am sure Vlad takes it.

Berrios one of the finalists for gold glove!

I'd not trade Teo - dude, despite all his faults, has a lot of impact on this team wrt run production, slugging and speed on bases. We also don't know how much of the fielding issue this year was due to all the leg injuries. If we can't extend him cause he's too expensive, that's fine, let him walk after a QO (and hopefully we get a comp pick), but there's no way we should trade him if we intend to compete next year. Of the two, Gurriel should be the one to let go (if we are giving up outfielders) - if his stance change is something he is sticking with, I don't know how much value another contact bat is really going to net us over someone like Teo who can alter games by himself, thanks to his power.

f*** the Yankees!

We have enough f***in reclamation projects here in Toronto; lets not add another in Bumgarner. I think if DBacks are thinking of competing next year (or even 2024), they will bite for Kirk. If they are creating a model for 2025+, prolly not - cause they can train Varsho to C to ease up on the OF depth if not have other internal option pop up showing promise. Kirk has a lot of value (I think more than Jansen tbh even though the results this year show otherwise) simply because of his K-BB ratio which is elite af and will never depreciate. And he is still super young. DBacks/Cards will definitely go for that kind of bat + control (I mean, most teams without strong prospect catchers would)

He gets out! JV hasn't been his dominant regular season self in the postseason.

Hunter Brown has pitched in the bullpen and has looked clean! Get him!

Phillies offense straight up does not give a f*** about matchups atm lol

Game's prolly donezoo

Jram is a stud.

10/10 strategy. Could've just sent Bieber on short rest to pitch 2 innings than that fiasco.

Running a 5 ERA/4 FIP out there is kind of a bold strategy cotton.

Isn't Bellinger making like 18M? We can't afford that s*** lol

Got postponed. Damn whoever makes ALCS is not gonna have any prep time.

tangent but https Lee Jung Ho might be the guy we need to man the OF; LF lead-off OF with excellent approach - even with regression to MLB from Korean players, he would still be an impact bat. Scouting report: https://prospectsworldwide.com/2020/06/08/scouting-report-kiwoom-heroes-of-lee-jung-hoo-1/ Might be posted this year though most are saying posted next year Being compared to Nick Markakis
