NLDS Game One Thread: Rockies @ Phillies
ByEven though last night’s riveting Twins-Tigers game was for all intents a purposes a playoff game, the postseason officially gets underway today. Cliff Lee (14-13, 3.22) and the Phillies are at home taking on the Rockies, who are sending Ubaldo Jimenez (15-12, 3.47) to the bump. If you’re an ESPN insider, you can check out KLaw’s series preview here. TBS is carrying the game, and first pitch is scheduled for 2:37pm. Use this thread to chat about the game while we wait for the Yanks to start their own playoff series a little later this evening.
Who in the hell are these guys?
“Rock-ies?”
am i the only one who’s MLB.tv is actually working for the playoffs too?
i didn’t pay a dime and i am getting this playoff baseball on top of the 99 i paid for MLB.tv
Are you getting the regular broadcast or the postseason.tv? I am getting just the postseason.tv with some weird camera angles.
Ubaldo Jiminez has the best fastball i’ve seen this year
he throws some wicked moving 96-98mph fastball
Thats why I wanted Detroit to win. The baseball fan in me wants to see the Yankees hit against Verlander
I can’t get the full feed, just the video from a camera angle of my choosing along with the audio. Its sorta half-assed and stupid. I get the exclusivity in the agreement with TBS, but believe me, if I could watch the game on a tv I would.
Sorry, went under the wrong comment.
Hey question for anybody…What if this Rockies-Phillies game goes past 6pm? Does the Yankee game temporarily shift to another channel?
When that happened in 2007 the Yanks started on TNT.
Cool, thanks Joe!
That better not happen… I get TBS, but not TNT.
What craptastic cable package gives you one but not the other?
It’s Time Warners basic cable package. Just 24 channels, but I get the networks and ESPN so there’s really no need for more. I couldn’t bring myself to spend $50 a month more just for YES…
cliff lee just got lucky there
very Dice-BB esqe
Whats with the gay techno music?
Oh god its playing again. Whos genius idea was this?
Ask the radio operator in your cerebellum to turn down the music.
It’ll all be ok.
Am I the only one with a bad feed? It freezes for about 3 seconds every so often. It did it last night, but it’s worse today.
I haven’t tried the regular channel, as far as I know it’s just the HD feed.
tbs feed driving me frank caliendo levels of crazy
On mlbtv? Mine is not working so great, either. Same problems.
My HD feed was fine last night and today too.
lol
Do umpires even watch what happens or do they just close their eyes and guess? I see the shitty umping we’ve seen all season has carried over to last nights and today’s game.
wow how did the ump miss that call? The Play wasn’t even the least bit close.
It doesn’t matter if he tagged him. He was out because the ball was there before the runner.
Ubaldo’s filthy. Just disgusting.
My favorite non-Yankee pitcher
Even though he made an out there, can we please somehow get Fowler from the Rox? How about Melky/Gardy/Kennedy/Some weaker prospects?
that makes no sense for colorado to do that
I know, I was just joking about that. But I really really want Fowler.
Why?
I can understand the general desire to have him as he’ll probably develop into a pretty good player, but so will Austin Jackson. For right now, both Melky and Gardner are better.
Mike do you think Gonzalez’s breakout this year was for real? I know this is his potential but he had not shown anything yet. This year, all of a sudden he starts to mash like crazy.
More importantly, is “Buggah” slang for Bugger or Booger? I’m hoping for the latter.
I’m hoping for the former.
*shifty eyes*
Hmmm, never thought of that. I don’t know.
I don’t think he can be that good over a full season, but he’s arrived.
Umpires are funny.
Gotta love them umps robbing the Rockies. Two bad calls in 3 innings.
Ubaldo just brushes the dirt off his shoulder and gets the strikeout anyway.
He’s a bad mofo!
i heart ubaldo
Eh, Cliff Lee beat the ball to the bag. Didn’t matter if he got tagged.
moreover, he’s white and doesn’t throw too hard. he should get a call or two here and there for grittiness
Haha, Howard trying to steal?
i love watching a network with a real radar gun and kzone up for every pitch
+1
Hopefully next year YES will get their shit together.
Not to mention that the scoring bug is up and ready right away. I still can’t believe how YES after all these years still has a delay between the start of the inning and when the bug shows up on the screen.
jason werth looks like a veloceraptor
Where’s Werth’s mother?
/Destrade’d
Keep the ball in front of you. Holy shit.
Did the camera miss that ball by a bunch or what?
has it really been this long without a comment or is my internet messed up?
i guess it’s been a while.
Damn, Lee is 2 outs away from a complete game.
