You would literally think every other team plays in front of empty seats or a convent based on the consistent tripping over themselves to anoint the Phillies' crowd as something sports have never seen before. It's so strange. I wonder where the talking points came from.

Alright folks, it's getting close to the pregame time. I'm drinking something way different than last night hoping I will help change the script.

Thinking about the guy who said Bryce Harper is a "meh" player

Lets even the series tonight! Yordan and Altuve homer, Tucker steals a bag, and Pressly closes it out.

Just like the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band wins every half time the Philly fans have definitely won every game in the stands this postseason. No harm in acknowledging that and something to strive for. Though I don't think that will ever happen as we slip closer and closer to late 90s Braves fan apathy

Being loud and acting like trash doesn't equate to being great fans.

I think some of this is just the media trying to come up with some talking points in favor of Philly since we were such big favorites.

The crowd does seem pretty wild, I think my bit is the "hungry" part I've heard a few times. The Phils won the World Series in 2008 and were in it in 2009, not like 1895. It's not like a generation of Phillies fans has come and gone since they were good or something.

If any group of fans that would know that a rabid, loud crowd has little to do with the outcome, it's Aggies.

Crowd goes absolutely bonkers when a HR is hit. No arguing that.

But other than that it doesn't seem louder than any other park during the playoffs.

Not only the WS but they haven't been in the postseason since 2011. I remember how loud it go back in 2015. The fans were hungry and got louder than any lately.

Maybe this is a hot take but to be honest the only crowd I've been especially impressed with was the game in Seattle. That seemed like a truly "hungry" crowd that absolutely wanted to explode and had some extra juice. We didn't let them, but from watching on TV it seemed that place had some electricity.

They were little *****es. Loud, but still little *****es.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Astros said Lance wasn't tipping.

Phillies agreed.


You have guys on Jomboy who couldn't find anything.

I'm going to say Phillies we're just locked into the breaking stuff from the left side. Lance left too many pitches over the plate.

They're all lying. If he has to pitch game 7, why would they admit it? The Astros handled Darvish the same in 2017. He was clearly tipping there.

No. Rob's delay allowed him to come back on 4 days for today.

To get this series back on a level playing field, we need to kick their collective butts tonight as bad as they kicked ours last night. Take no prisoners!

That's me and he is, if you didn't notice over 50-% of the Phillies went deep last not, so meh-good ish still applies. It's not like he's had some crazy amazing series. Get off his nuts. He's good. Not elite.

Win you get shut out, whether it's 7-0 or 2-0, the offense is a problem.


If they were going to have a crap offensive game that was the one.

Don't get the love for Diaz.

Don't get me wrong, he was fairly solid during the season but I'd rather see someone else there.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FDEMS TRUMP 2024.
Fight Fight Fight.

There were plenty of posts all over showing the difference in his leg kick last night between fastball and offspeed.
