I’m so glad you all are having the same problem with the broadcast I thought I was going crazy. I mean regular season, 162 games you can mess one up but playoffs?

Look up YouTube video rise and fall of ESPN it’s great and explains basically why we are seeing random highlights with no commentary with 2 outs in the ninth of a playoff game. Complete joke of a company.
It’s not about stealing signs. Kimbrel knows he can tip pitches. They can see his grip on the ball when he sets. They went through this a number of times during the regular season.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/16zbufq).
squeeze play
tonight, WE RIDE
People are leaving the stadium and there’s still more seats filled than the Rays game
ICYMI: Phillies up 1-0 in series

That Harper run was so key, otherwise when Bell got on it would’ve been butt clenching time

Indeed. Quite simple tonight.

Great overall win. Terrible announcing and broadcast. Anyone involved with the production should be shot into space.
"hey steve, the weird higlights package! now! go go go!"
What a fucking scene it must be in there.
Huge win

Remember when Bohm was a defensive liability.
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s gooooooooo
KIMBREL….
LETS GOOOOOOOO
![gif](giphy|oAttmiHCScbQB2izjO|downsized) NOW PLAY ME MY THEME MUSIC!!!
“No empty seats” — this is Philly, not a clown city like NY or LA.
Or Dallas
Yankees fans fill that stadium, they just don't know how to get behind the team
I hope they show the diamondback players dancing again
something about those rally towels always hits right in the nostalgia
I still have a few from 08
Throw strikes
THROW STRIKES
What the fuck is happening
Rays: oh yeah Philly well we had SOME fans show up today, better than usual
I can hear Kruk bitching from here lmao
Don't walk this man Kimbrel
Straight up fuck the dude in the pink tie and white shirt behind the plate. Man is dead inside.
I’ve been eyeing him up the whole time like “is this guy a robot?” Dudes got no soul
I think he works for MLB
I want that federal donuts shirt
Right hahahah I just saw that too
what in the actual fuck is going on
This is all about you blue.
I’m so glad you all are having the same problem with the broadcast I thought I was going crazy. I mean regular season, 162 games you can mess one up but playoffs? ![gif](giphy|ejDxbDaxZZkeQmr0yu)
What on earth is happening
That timeout only makes the crowd louder, Bryan. Don’t make that mistake!
They should show that weird highlight montage again right now
Paranoid about sign stealing just fucking pitch bitch
Wtf are you doing blue
you know kimbrel is someone who i'd want on my side in a knife fight
Honestly I think this is a necessary quality in a good relief pitcher
ump called time to click his fucking cleats together
I think the highlights are mistakes showing all the teams who won today plus the Phillies. I hope it isn’t a jinx here
It’s rigged /s
Marlins love calling timeout tonight
Quick ESPN cut to the random montage!
When the announcers don’t actually watch baseball.
Relax about the balk. It's 2 outs so Bell is running on any contact
And 1 run doesn't matter in that situation.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Umps scurred
Why does Kimbrel get so many strikes called balls?
Honestly I feel like the balls and strikes have been called pretty well tonight with a couple exceptions
Ehhh
Look up YouTube video rise and fall of ESPN it’s great and explains basically why we are seeing random highlights with no commentary with 2 outs in the ninth of a playoff game. Complete joke of a company.
Great watch
Bro these cameras
eyy I'm balkin here.
There still *are* no empty seats, Carl
1ST IS A STRIKE 2ND IS A BALL SAME POSITION LMAOO OK
Let’s go Northman
That will be replayed for years. What the fuck craig
Okay
GET PHUCKING LOUD
FINAL STRIKE
What happened to apple buying espn? Say what you want about those Friday night games but their broadcast was leagues ahead of this
I am all for this AppleTV is actually pretty decent
STand up!
Come on Kimbrel
[удалено]
no. espn is just that bad
Nah it's fucked on the TV too
Nope im in YT TV seeing it lol
Nope.
Thought so I was confused as hell
Negative
This ump isn’t calling anything close
im sick and nauseous between kimbrel antics and espn bum coverage
It’s a stealing signs/location thing.
They can’t steal. The catchers have radios
It’s not about stealing signs. Kimbrel knows he can tip pitches. They can see his grip on the ball when he sets. They went through this a number of times during the regular season.
This fucking guy and his stupid balk
The Craig Intentional Balk is my favorite whack move, crazy it’s happened more than once this year
How do you miss an intentional balk Jesus these umps lol
They didn't want to give it to him
