They Can Do This - Again and Again - Game Two Post Season IGT 10/06/24 NYM at PHL

[Edgy MD]

We may be looking to Díaz for two innings.

[Centerfield]

Jesus Butto.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I forgot about Megill!

[Edgy MD]

What did Phillies phans do before Jack White wrote "Seven-Nation Army"?

Oh, right, "Rock & Roll, Part II."

[ashie62]

I hope we can get two from Butto and one from Diaz.

I'd rather not see Ottavino.

Seconded

[Fman99]

I didn't think the Phillies could be any more hateable prior to them adding Kody Clemens to their team.

[Edgy MD]

Power against power coming.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Diaz!

[Fman99]

Oh another thing that I hate - any records that reference cumulative postseason stats.

Of course these guys have the most postseason home runs ever. The 1950s Yankees and Dodgers never had more than 7 games in a postseason. These teams could have as many as 22.

[Fman99]

HELL YES YUGE K

[Centerfield]

Wow. That was close.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Time for some insurance runs!

[Benjamin Grimm]

That strikeout was iffy, but I'll take it.

Absolutely.

[ashie62]

Is Diaz supposed to finish this?

[Edgy MD]

SCHWAR!!! What is he GOOD FOR?!

(Absolutely nothing ... that time, anyhow.)

[Fman99]

Is Diaz supposed to finish this?

I think he pitches the 8th and handles Turner, Harper & Castellanos and then Megill gets the 9th. That's how I'd draw it up anyhoo

[Edgy MD]

Surprised not to see Winkie pinch-hitting for Martinez or Marte there.

[Lefty Specialist]

Blood pressure rising.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Squeaky bum

I have a whole bunch of bad ideas. That's my best guess, but I really don't have much idea what Mendoza is planning.

[ashie62]

This is real bad

[Bob Alpacadaca]

This is tense.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Gameday makes it look like these pitches are a foot out of the strike zone.

[ashie62]

This might get away from the Mets
