So after reading all of Decoding Symbols blog posts I was scrambling to find which comms related to MLB, because we already got the Gold Standard return comms with the GOLDEN NUGGETS and the GOLDEN KNIGHTS, and then it hit me..
The Arizona Diamondbacks are never talked about as really anything, nor are they considered to be in the playoffs or a contender for 20+ years. Suddenly, they are in the World Series, which made me think of Trump's statement:** "They cheated, and you know when people cheat, I always say, ‘If Tiffany gets robbed of its diamonds when they catch the robber, you have to give the diamonds back,'” Trump stated, seemingly implying that President Biden should simply hand him back the presidency. ** This thing was all over the MSM talking about how odd and ridiculous it was.
So before Game 7 last night this dawned on me, I actually went to the Phillies forums on the web to see what the fans were saying...a good 60% of them were noticing the Phillies play calling made no sense, left runners on base almost every inning, and also baseloaded one or two times with no runs. Arizona was also down 2-1 I believe and then EASILY scored another two the next inning...
I think we 'have' something here.
Once Philly stopped jacking multiple HR per game they lost. You live by the HR, you die by the HR.
So you're saying they just decided to not hit HR's, in the biggest games of their careers.
No. I’m saying they couldn’t because the DBacks pitched well.
Not sure that holds water
The Phillies hit 47HR the last two postseasons. Go look at how many they hit in their losses to the snakes.
Bryce Harper hit one to the wall last night. It was a loud out. You can't rig that. If he turns a bit more on that pitch it's a HR and you have a completely different ball game.
But if you look at this from a comms world point of view, that doesn't matter. They would find a way for the Dbacks to score again. I'm pretty sure that was in the 7th anyhow.
