MLB Playoffs Day 18: NLCS 6 - Giants at Philles, 7:50 PM

Edit: Game starts at 7:57 PM ET since the ALCS has finished.

***

Phillies Elimination Day, Take Two!

Game 6 worked out for the Rangers, but the Giants are on the road where they split the first two games of the NLCS.

It's a rematch of Game 2's matchup between Jonathon Sanchez and Roy Oswalt. The Phillies won 6-1. Pitching lines:

Sanchez: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 7 K
Oswalt: 8 IP, 3 H, ER, 3 BB, 9 K

Oswalt also pitched the bottom of the 9th inning in Game 4 (0.2-2-1-0-0), and lost the game for Philadelphia.

For today's game, I am predicting the Giants win 1-0 in 31 innings.

Go Giants!

Welp! Since there's no ALCS Game 7 they changed today's game to 7:57 PM. Stupid.

I'll be watching this in the Bar in rainy San Francisco. Got more stuff out of our apartment today -- it's beginning to look a little less hellish in there now.

Rob said...

Good thing Game 6 wasn't in SF then. Glad The Bar was able to re-open.

Rob said...

Giants start Game 6 with a base hit.

Rob said...

CRAP.

Rob said...

Tie game!!!

Zenslinger said...

Crazy inning. And hope to close this out on 6.

SancheZ's bĂȘte noire is the walk. His BAA does not match his WHIP.

Rob said...

Did he get ejected or just relieved?

I had it on mute. (Watching the Bruins on the big TV)

Zenslinger said...

Relieved, I believe.

Rob said...

Strange. Seemed early.

Zenslinger said...

Bochy has a short leash policy in effect.

Rob said...

Apparently so. Bruins lost, so hopefully the Giants can relieve me of my unsatisfactory mood.

Zenslinger said...

Werth: worth the money? Good in RF tonight.

Rob said...

He'd certainly be good in Boston. Then there's the impending bidding war for Cliff Lee.

Rob said...

Little comebacker! Giants escape.

allan said...

Better not be 31 innings. I'm missing it. ... Let a weekday WS game go 31.

Zenslinger said...

I predict no more than 13.

Rob said...

Feels like the Giants are trailing in this game.

Rob said...

My prediction is already wrong since it won't be 1-0.

Rob said...

Hmm. Walking Huff to get to Posey.

Rob said...

Wow do the pipes run in the Kalas family!

Zenslinger said...

Voices in the Bar question singer's sexuality.

Rob said...

DONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob said...

DOUBLE PLAY!!!!! #NLCS

Rob said...

Why did I do #NLCS?

I am Twittered.

Rob said...

Take Two:

DOUBLE PLAY!!!!

allan said...

i am amazed at the huge amount of one-run games the Giants have played this month. i guess that is partially where the "torture" description comes from.

allan said...

come on, wilson. one more.

allan said...

CALLED K!

laura k said...

Giants!!!!!!!! Yeah!

laura k said...

Wow, that was some crazy tense baseball.

Yay San Francisco. One of my favourite places in the world vs Texas, that one's a no-brainer.

Zenslinger said...

Pandemonium here

Zenslinger said...

SF likes you too!

Was recording Giants radio during the 9th inning. It definitely was tense, even had my heart thumping! Jon Miller was doing the game which I totally forgot about. He's really good at play-by-play when he's doing a local broadcast and when Joe Morgan is nowhere to be found.
