Well, I’m wrong a lot but I still say repeat of last year but Philly wins in 7
I’m trying not to get myself too awfully spooled up when I think about the prospect of a WS rematch….but I admit I’ve been pulling for this prospect since the trade deadline. Anyone remember the last time we had this? There are several on here that shall - but there are going to be bunches and bunches more who haven’t.
We have to go back to the late 1970’s until we have our last occurrence of this - it’s incredibly special and I’d encourage us all (heck, most were baseball fans long before we started playing it on a console) to pay special attention to this postseason so that, in case this happens to be one of those incredibly special, rare finishes where we get an actual rematch between baseball champions….think of the odds!
But..but...but...I want the Phillies and Rangers in the WS...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh who am I kidding? I'll watch whomever gets there and if it happens to be a rematch, then I will be there to watch history in the making.
I agree with you 100%! I think the Dbacks vs Rangers would be an awesome WS also, and should it happen I think it has the potential to go 7 as well and be thrilling to watch and i certainly shall watch it no matter who plays and love every minute of it lol!
Still, to have the chances for something special -truly special - and, as you said, rare…well I say bring on the history baby!

Well we got the NL Series opener tonight in Philly and Game 2 of AL (Texas up 1-0) down at Minute Made Park in Houston. Should be a fun night of baseball with Eovaldi on the bump - he’s having a nice post season - against Framber…who is not having too kind of a post season however we all know he can hurl with the best of them. Gonna be fun! Gallen v. Wheeler in the NL so that promises to be fun as well. Got us some Cy Young caliber slingers going tonight fellers!
ALCS game 2 starts in an hour or so (4:37EST), with the NLCS game 1 right after (8:07EST)….see y’all there
-
Astros can't play with their hands around their necks. Its getting ugly
-
Tight game. Let’s see if pressley can get Seager
-
Here we go….bottom 9th rangers up 5-4 with Peña, Diaz, and altuve coming up in bot 9
whiffed with bases loaded earlier maybe he’ll redeem himself…I can think of worse people I’d rather have come to bat in the playoffs with the game on the line lol
-
Ok Rangers sitting pretty at 2-0 headed to their house to play.
7 straight playoff wins for the Rangers…they’re rolling…dang it all
-
What an ending! Wow! Funny thing, I sat down to watch the game towards the of the pregame show and woke up to a 5-1 score. I missed all the exciting runs! But, watching the Astros fight back was something else. Alvarez, man, Alvarez!

Rangers might be for real this year, i still say this is Arizona's year though.
-
Welcome to Philly!!!!

Well, Astros will be at their real home on Wednesday. Hoping they will get back in this. Even trying my Icon glitch jinx.

No kidding! What an atmosphere! That first inning would’ve been near impossible to overcome especially with that crowd I mean wow!

That's actually a statement for the Schwarbomb on the first pitch of the game.
Wow the DBacks are tough, it's gonna be a great series.
Edit: gonna be tooth and nail,I think. -

Edit: gonna be tooth and nail,I think.Boy they are tough. They managed to get the potential tying run up to bat in each of the final three innings. All things considered that was a pretty incredible accomplishment. I’m with you I believe this is going to be a great series.
How about Zack Wheeler. He was absolutely stalwart last night. What a fantastic performance. Oh and how’s about that first pitch laser that Schwarber hit looked like he hit it off a tee. It was there one second and the very next instant it was four hundred plus feet away.
I keep telling myself I need to check the exit velo on that one because it had to be over 110mph…probably more like 120 lolEdit: exit velo 117 and 408ft. What a missile!
PS how’s about Kimbrel - 10/10 (saves/opportunities) in his post season career…not too shabby at all

I picked the Phillies simply because of Schwarber, Harper and Turner but Castellanos is also on fire. Harper has made a huge difference since coming to Philadelphia.
Astros better start winning with their on the road magic otherwise they are done. Rangers look great and I wouldn't expect anything less with Bochy at the helm. Remember the Giants???

Lol sure do remember those Giants teams. You know if it were any team other than the Astros I’d have already given up on my hopes at a WS rematch. However and as you mentioned they are a road team and are 9 - 4 this year against the Rangers with a record of 6-1 at Globe Life Field…not to mention these guys have plenty of experience in such playoff series as these….but the biggest factor for me is that I wanna see a WS rematch dadjimmit!
Tonight we have NLCS game two in Philly at 8:07 EST on TBS.
The ALCS resumes on Wed evening at 803pm EST on FS1 -
So I was just relistening to the WIP radio call from last nights Phillies game and caught something that I missed the first time thru. I had known it was Harpers birthday but I hadn’t heard that last nights game was the first time in the big leagues that he’d ever gotten to play on it. He’s such a gamer I swear it boggles the mind that they pitched to him at ALL lol let alone after he hit that bomb.
By the way did anyone hear that interview with Harper from last night regarding pressure? If not it’s worth a listen kinda gave me a new respect for him honestly

He held up three fingers on one hand and one finger on the other hand to show he was 31 years old and then put those fingers together and blew them out like candles LOL.

Trea Turner took his turn! Boom
-
I want the Phillies to win, but I’m willing Schwarber to not hit a third home run. I don’t want to have to do that moment!
