I would like to see JT Realmuto’s arm v Carroll’s wheels but Dbacks probably won’t risk it

Wheeler gets out of it

Huge
I am once again reminded that I don’t like Zac Gallen purely because he complained about not getting Cy Young votes last year and to keeping track of the names of writers who didn’t vote for him. Not quite in my top ten pitchers I like to see lit up but definitely top 30.

Brandon pfaadt wouldn’t do this to us

I don’t like him cause he looks like a nerd

Dbacks D getting it done!
(xpost) Does he have a nickname? The Professor's already taken.

In this household, we call him “four-eyes”

Clemenza, who was that blue-jays that looked like the most milquetoast librarian-accountant in the history of sport. He was a batter, think maybe a catcher? Glasses obviously. I loved watching him play. Recent kid, played for a bunch of teams pretty sure

I think somewhere on the internet some people bulk-voted for him as the face of baseball in some mlb poll for a joke
― Peach’s burner account (H.P), Sunday, 22 October 2023 00:48 (two years ago)
Tom Henke looked like that, but he's not recent...drawing a blank.

Sorry, back to the game

Because I have now read the science of hitting, the Ted Williams rant about how you don’t swing at the first pitch permeates my thoughts every time I see a terrible 1 pitch out
There is much more to that first time up than just taking a pitch, there is the continuing matter of proper thinking, and I want to elaborate on it here where it is so important. Nobody has ever said this around me, or, as far as I know, even thought it—but the first time at bat has to be a key to effective hitting, a key to the day you are going to have and therefore a key to your baseball life because the days pile one on another to make a career. You must learn to make that first time up a key time by striving to find out as much about a pitcher as possible, and you do that by making him pitch.

Just looked up Tom Henke, what a guy! Couldn’t get away with wearing those glasses these days. Shame

Unlike hitters, the expanded playoffs--unless you're Bumgarner or Schilling or Smoltz--tends to hurt pitchers on all-time playoff leaderboards. Cf. Kershaw/Scherzer/Verlander. They said Wheeler's got the lowest post-season WHIP ever now. Still only 55 innings, but building a resume there.

Yeah, Trea justified
― Peach’s burner account (H.P), Sunday, 22 October 2023 00:58 (two years ago)
I thought it was a strike too
― Bee OK, Sunday, 22 October 2023 00:58 (two years ago)
But it wasn't

(Add Cristian Javier to that list above.)

Zach is pitching well
― Bee OK, Sunday, 22 October 2023 01:09 (two years ago)
And Zac got back into the game in that 3rd inning.
― Peach’s burner account (H.P), Sunday, 22 October 2023 01:13 (two years ago)
I thought he had that
― Bee OK, Sunday, 22 October 2023 01:37 (two years ago)
Inevitable

Wow
― Bee OK, Sunday, 22 October 2023 01:41 (two years ago)
How clutch is that?

Harper!

Holy shit that is about as hard as you can hit a ball

16 consecutive solo HR defies the laws of probability.
― clemenza, Sunday, 22 October 2023 01:47 (two years ago)
Two big runs there
― Bee OK, Sunday, 22 October 2023 01:51 (two years ago)
The keeping-them-solo HR are obviously why the series is tied and Arizona's not out of this game.

Yes but it's getting later

Drama

Huge out

zack wheeler at 5 yrs/$118M is a contract that has definitely worked out for the phillies
― mookieproof, Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:01 (two years ago)
Double didn't cost him
― Bee OK, Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:02 (two years ago)
It has, any team would jump at that offer
That was pretty funny with Francoeur.
― clemenza, Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:13 (two years ago)
Let’s go dbacks. Surprised Wheeler’s still in after those two hard hits
― Peach’s burner account (H.P), Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:15 (two years ago)
What a play!!!!!
Solo home runs shouldn't kill you
― Bee OK, Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:16 (two years ago)
Great play. ABK time (anybody but Kimbrel).
― clemenza, Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:16 (two years ago)
Been some great defence this game

Ugh no patience from this dbacks team
― Peach’s burner account (H.P), Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:17 (two years ago)
Zack Wheeler has done his job, all they could have asked for in this best of three
― Bee OK, Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:17 (two years ago)
snuck up on me how great this phillies team really is in its current form, rooting for them
― ✖, Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:18 (two years ago)
Not a base hit!
― clemenza, Sunday, 22 October 2023 02:21 (two years ago)
That was not a hit
