i_am_the_swammi Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 some amazing game-changing plays tonight....Ross gunned at third, the Halladay bunt, the errors, the line-out DP to end the Phils 7th that likely saved two runs.... ....and that catch by Utley to preserve the lead an extra run would be nice here!

Happy to be going back home but man we still need to get our bats going. i don't know..... if these teams had more history in the playoffs, i'd agree. this game in particular was sloppy on both sides and had a little controversy. if this were a tighter game i could appreciate it more (win or lose).

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Well a foul ball and some mistakes in the third decided this one! You're exactly right....and if you had anyone other Sandoval playing third, it would have been a double-play, you'd have been out of the inning, and the Phils would have had every reason to be irate. You got a gift, and gave it away. In a game where every run made a difference, I was shocked to see a defensive liability put at third. For good measure, he also had a throwing error later in the game (that fortunately didn't cost them again). The game was a microcosm of the entire series: some shoddy fielding, some poor balls/strikes umping, some timely hitting, some critical LOB, and plenty of white knuckles. I expect much of the same in game 6. I posted after Game 2 we needed to win just one game to get home-field back...we got it. Now its time to flex, for our arms to start firing, for our playoff-tested experience to show, and the home crowd to take its toll on the visitors.

whomper Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Great series. Im glad you guys, as homers, are enjoying it. SF had them right where they wanted them . Ace on the mound at home to seal it but with Halladay on the other end it made it anyones game. Back to philly. Great pitching match ups still. Good stuff Good luck fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now its time to flex, for our arms to start firing, for our playoff-tested experience to show, and the home crowd to take its toll on the visitors. Speaking of this, it reminds me how much I think the 2-3-2 format actually magnifies the home-field advantage rather than lessening it like I'd imagine is the intention. It's hard to win 3 straight in the post-season and the team that has the 3 home games is put in a position where they're forced to in order to keep serve. Compare it to if the Giants had stolen one in Philly (as they did), then come home and held serve in their two games. If last night's was in Philly, they'd still have a home game to look forward to.

I agree to an extent. On the other hand, if home team's hold serve as intended, the home-field advantage puts a team in a spot where they have their backs against the wall for two straight games (three, in the Phils case). Not sure there's much advantage in knowing you have to play, essentially, two games of error-free baseball, get timely hitting, and great pitching, all at once or your season is over. While I and the Phils feel good that it is coming back to Philly on track, I am sure the Giants like their chances knowing they need to win just one game with Sanchez and Cain on deck. Seems like a win-win for both in terms of each team liking their chances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 My wife and I start vacation tomm and she said we should head up to Philly and go to the game. Part of me really wants to go and part of me likes the fact that they last and only MLB playoff game I went to was game 6 in 1980. so now I have to decide if we should drive the 5-6 hours up or not.
