I didn’t say anything about the second game. The second game was won fair and square As for the first game, it is absolutely possible to get out of a bases loaded no outs situation. Not likely, but possible. I don’t understand how you can call catchers interference while also simultaneously ruling that the batter did not swing. How can you interfere with the batters swing if he didn’t swing?

Also… I never said the Phillies didn’t deserve the series win. Getting the bases loaded and the game winning run scored in extra innings all without recording a single hit in the inning is the definition of a technicality though

He checked his swing. That’s how. Go watch it. It’s the rule. Even if he did swing, there’d only be one out. And you’re saying getting walks is a technicality? That’s called plate discipline and taking advantage of a wild pitcher. That’s not a technicality at all. Baseball isn’t just about getting hits

Like if you wanna play that game, we can also say that the Red Sox only won yesterday because Luzardo walked in two guys with the bases loaded and the infielders didn’t see a popup that would’ve ended the inning. It’s just how the game goes

Walking is not a technicality but you’re leaving out something else that happened in that inning. Harper was on third because another batter was hit by a pitch. If that hadn’t happened, that batter would still be up to bat and Harper would have been on second when the interference was called I’m not biased. The Phillies are obviously the more talented team and they did deserve the series W, but that 1st game was won primarily due to luck

Then the pitcher shouldn’t have hit that batter! The Phillies were patient, had good plate discipline, and capitalized on a pitcher that was clearly struggling to throw strikes. Do you expect them to swing at everything, knowing they’ll get themselves out by swinging at awful pitches? By your logic, nearly every win of every team is just by luck. That’s baseball, not a technicality

Look it’s just my opinion. You’re welcome to disagree I got annoyed with the other guy because he started talking about the Eagles out of nowhere. As if a Super Bowl win is some sort of flex in an MLB chat
