And I'm glad that I wear earplugs, because the noise app on my watch registered 108 dB. No lie, that game reminded me of the Cubs/Cards NLDS game I went to in 2015 where the Cubs cranked homer after homer and the crowd was just going absolutely fucking insane. I was in the bleachers for that and even though they had us crammed in there like sardines because of assigned seating, we were just going crazy all night long. Watching that game and seeing that Philly crowd made me think of that. Glad you got to experience it. 1

Craig H Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Also, fucking Jomboy. I can't believe Baby Jake's "we play for rings in the desert" is one step closer to becoming a reality, again. Let's go Phils and Rangers for maximum chaos and because I really like the makeup of this Phils team.
Cobra Commander Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 and the Braves are done.. so no baseball until Sunday
Craig H Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 LFG! Also, LOL at Nick - "Where's the question in that?" He's so awesome. 3
John from Cincinnati Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 “He hit my funny bone,” my god Bryce is cool. 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 (additionally, physics is cool, because I'm sure they timed it for the flyover to happen as the song ends, but with the delay in the soundwaves making it to the top of the building, I think it hit in a cooler part of the song.) 2

Oh, there's no question about that at all. I don't think I appreciated him as much while he was with Washington but he's been on my radar since he moved to Philly. And @Dolfan in NYCmy friend is obsessed with fighter jets so I'm sure he's going to love the shit out of this. And yeah that was such a perfect part of the song for them to come in. 1
John from Cincinnati Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Oh shit, Vince is running BP for the Diamondbacks!
NikoBaltimore Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 That's actually not a horrible idea in this case. The Cowboys were at one point practicing on wet grass to simulate week one against the Giants. And boy did that pay off wonderfully for them. So preparing a team for something that could affect them might be crazy enough to work. I don't truly believe it will but nice effort. 1
RIPPA Posted October 15, 2023 Author Posted October 15, 2023 The Rangers have included Max Scherzer on their ALCS roster
Cobra Commander Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Rangers took an early lead and held it to win by 1 run, expanding their lead to 2-0 Phillies took an early lead and now it's a 2 run lead, so can they hold it to take a 1-0 lead (to be determined)

RIPPA Posted October 17, 2023 Author Posted October 17, 2023 If the Rangers win Game 3 - they will tie the 2014 Royals (of all teams) for most consecutive victories to start/in the same postseason (The Royals had 8, 4 other teams got to 7 including last year's Astros) A note of caution - of the 8 teams prior to win at least 6 consecutive games, only 3 went on to win the World Series

Decades ago during the later Montana years, the Niners used to roll a giant sound system out on their practice field and play Huey Lewis music cranked up before road games to simulate crowd noise. 1

When I was in grad school at Texas (late 90s), I walked out of the ENS building one November afternoon and wondered where all the yelling I heard was coming from. Then I heard the Aggie War Hymn fire up. It was loud as hell where I was, two thirds of the way across campus.
odessasteps Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 That seems to still be something done in futbol, to try and replicate loud/crazy stadiums, like if you have to go play in Turkey in the Champions League.
Cobra Commander Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Rangers lost, and the 2014 Royals streak is safe
RIPPA Posted October 19, 2023 Author Posted October 19, 2023 I am shocked - SHOCKED - Max Scherzer was shitty
RIPPA Posted October 19, 2023 Author Posted October 19, 2023 I mean Arizona fans weren't going anyway so all that's really doing is putting money in the D-Backs pocket but okay 3
odessasteps Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 I know people who wanted to fly out but didn't want to pay the $500_600 for thr flights.
