Philly Just About There
Ok, heading back to Philly up 3-2 pretty much ensures the Phillies pathway to the NL Pennant. I can’t envision AZ taking two straight in that environment with so much on the line and those lunatics in the stands screaming their lungs out.
Boch in play for a pretty epic meltdown if he can’t win today. If he comes back from 3-2 after starting out 2-0, oh my what it will do to his legacy.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
“That most HRs in post season stat…” from Xoot last night was pretty funny and of course spot on. Maybe Gallen is just burnt out but oy Phils have pounded him twice now, home and away.
Lot of back n forth in TA around conspiracy theories btw Stros intentionally throwing at Garciat (which Rosenthal didn’t make sense given game situation and Rangers player thought was perfect excuse to do it) , and Dusty prolonging the incident and causing Leclerc to have to sit it out before coming in to pitch 9th. Length of time (12 minutes iirc) it took to resolve argument ejections etc. is what bothered Boch who complained about it publicly. hmmnn
Would love to see Bochy and the Rangers come back.
Just for context, Reggie Jackson was in 11 post seasons over 20 year career and had 281 ABs. Slash line .278/.358/.527 .885 OPS with 18 HRs. Reggie is 77.
Jose Altuve in 13 seasons/8 post seasons has 419 ABs, slash line .270/.339/.504 for .843 OPS and 26 HRs.
Bears complete 8 minute 88 yard drive with TD and lead Raiders 21-3 late 3rd.
Don’t care how good sports town Vegas might be, gotta be hard to stomach that from fanbase.
Bowl Cut is just an idiot…who managed to convince powers that be to gift him $750 million.
The thing about Vegas is no one if from Vegas. Throw in all the destination fans and hotel/ticket deals, and most of the time it’ll be 2/3 away fans for every game. About what the Rams/Chargers get.
Prince Valiant is an idiot for not getting that fact.
Value of the franchise has gone from Under 2 to more than 6 billion since the move.
lol, exactly. 2 billion to 6 billion. You think Mark thinks he made a mistake? As I said when the announced the move, they were gonna sell out every game (with many fans coming to it as a *vegas show) and the value of the franchise would go up. Surprised it went up that much, but still.
Mark’s stoked.
Ha, horse named Stagger Lee running in first race at Santa Anita.
Wilson Pickett did nice version of that tune on “I’m in Love” LP for Atlantic in late 60s. Bassist Tommy Cogbill, drummer Gene Chrisman, guitarist Reggie Young, and King Curtis on tenor sax in the horn section. Wicked Man talks over the intro then later adds his “Yes it did y’all” to the ending verse

Prefer the Clash version.

Oh that’s fantastic!
Yeah, from 1958 one of my favorite records.
Per MLBTR Padres permit Melvin to interview for Giants manager job.
High drama 8th as Bochy brings in closer to get 5 outs to protect 4-2 lead. Walks a guy to load bases and then gets out of it.
Took him 16 pitches.
These young catchers, even the stylish, don’t have that just perceptible Posey profile pause before they walk off strike-three-out-three. It’s not hot dogging. It’s a tribute to the pitcher.
Garcia should just put one flap down. That was smoked.
Ha! They’d throw at his ear tomorrow.
Garcia puts an end to the drama. Wow what a rocket.
Houston has a problem with home games.
