Hey everybody, welcome to our NLCS chat
The gang is all here -- and by that I mean Kyle, Davy, and me
8:02
Let's answer some questions and enjoy a fun game

Love that you can say neither of these two were built the one and only Right Way
Ben Clemens
8:02
Yeah I am very excited for that
"Build your team just like the Padres" is an impossible sentence
Tstats

Lets go phillies! 09 remake please!

Tonight we root for the Phillies *and* prepare for an inevitable economic disaster.
Just me or was that end of game mocking of the Guardians by the Yankees extremely petty and dumb (and something that’ll lead to some retaliation next season)?
Ben Clemens
8:03
I thought it was completely called for
That's mocking Naylor in particular, and Naylor was asking for it
You don't tell the other team you're their daddy and not expect them to say something back
Particularly when you're down a bunch of runs?
8:04
No blows were exchanged, no headhunting, just some enjoyable trash talk (and gestures)
Tstats

Last time they chanted whos your daddy wasn't it at Pedro in 09?
Ben Clemens
8:04
Ha I think so, and I enjoyed that one too!

A championship series with two teams high on fun and relatively low on evil! *Glares at ALCS.*
Ben Clemens
8:04
Yeah, I would say America will be rooting for the winner of this series but I guess some shocking amount of America roots for the Yankees

Hey Dan, thanks for stopping by!

Me exhausted, but I can't resist coming to ruin a chat!

Which team got more bandwagon fans for this series? The Padres just by being not-Philadelphia?
Davy Andrews
8:06
I would agree, but I think Philly won over more people than you might guess. They're awfully fun. (Also, hi everyone.)
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:06
Yeah, this is a rather likable Phillies team
Ben Clemens
8:07
I think neutral fans will split, both of these teams are fun
Padres are more fun, to be fair. But they're both fun
Tstats
8:07
Im here for Bryce and beating the Padres (disgruntled dodger fan)

Smoltz still thinks everyone is in the 90's
Mentioning that in the playoffs, they watch video
Players watch lots of video about EVERYONE these days
"The playoffs are special, because you study your opponent" hasn't been true in quite a while
8:09
Your advance team might do more, but players aren't just rolling into town blind and spending their first two innings figuring out what the opposing pitcher throws

Smoltz hasn't turned his calendar over since 1999 (must be afraid of Y2K still)
Ben Clemens
8:09
Hey, it was scary!
Erik
8:10
Joe Davis adds more than Smoltz takes away I think
Ben Clemens
8:11
He's excellent. Also he likes to reference FanGraphs, fingers crossed!
Tstats

Is it smoltz and Davis today (in class and only have live AB)
Ben Clemens
8:12
Yup
