PetermansRedemption Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I always find it interesting how dominating the NFL is when it comes to sports. I looked up the World Series ratings, which are up from last year, and 11.5 million viewers watched game 1. A respectable number for sure. Then you see that last weeks Chiefs 49ers game had 22 million viewers. Nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess bad time to use that hyperbole since they’re playing the cheaters. I was just saying how crazy the bombs were coming from the Phils. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal. 10 hours ago, I am the egg man said: Pitch stealing?🫣 Phillies been long ballin’ all playoffs. I think it was likely a combination of McCullers tipping pitches, being painfully predictable (does NOT throw fastballs to left-handed hitters) and simply throwing horrible pitches over the middle of the plate. Sometimes you're the pigeon; sometimes you're the statue. McCullers was the statue last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if that's unreasonable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 1 hour ago, I am the egg man said: Phillies win rekindles interest. But, Astros are still hovering. Nola's last two starts have not been great. I really think Philly needs to win tonight to even begin to feel a LITTLE comfortable. Philly can't count on hitting 5 bombs again and they need to be able to manufacture some runs. I think if Houston wins tonight, this series is going seven games. Still hanging onto Phillies in 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 There's already a separate grateful dead thread but this is relevant. Hopefully fans of the Dead and other bands have noticed the Dead songs playing as they go to commercials during these sporting events. Here's a cool article from a couple years ago explaining why!

Gugny Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Verlander vs. Syndergaard tonight. If Verlander sh!ts the bed again, then he’s just cursed. The Phillies can’t feel great about Syndergaard being their guy in what is pretty much a must-win game. But this Series has been chock full of WTF moments/games, so who the hell knows what’s in store for tonight? It’s been a fun one to watch, so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's full of WTF moments because playoffs are watered down. You'd normally see ***** like this during the season. Of course there's only been 19 combined no-hitters in history BUT 11 have come in last 20 years. https://www.nonohitters.com/combined-no-hitters/ Pitch counts and metrics is going to make that a worthless achievement. So... Don't get me going Mister, I an so done with this nonsense.😉 Leave the darn kid in.
