Really looking forward to the big rematch against the Braves.

Hammering and dispatching the Braves two years in a row is awesome.

In the NLCS D-Backs have NO CHANCE.

As a Philly fan why would you ever say this?

Because like I said... they got... NO CHANCE!!!

Obviously I'm thrilled with the fact that we knocked off the Braves again and think we are the best team still remaining but one thing I find frustrating is Thomson's insistence on having Bohm who's clearly struggling offensively bat 4th behind Harper. IMO after his historical performance this series, Castellanos deserves that spot. Had he hit in that spot, we would have won by a lot more last night. Hopefully Thomson makes the adjustment vs. the D-Backs.

1-0 Phillies. Bryce gave himself a birthday present by hitting a homer.

Phils have officially blown game 2 open. Gotta take care of business in AZ now.

I love this team. I wish the sixers gave me joy like this.

Havent felt it since 16 when Schwarber was bombing for the Cubs. Rooting for him

Disagree. When something is working (meaning wins), you don't f***k with it. A huge part of Thompson's genius is that the players completely trust him and buy in, and part of that is not screwing with a formula that is producing wins. Having confidence in players that are going through a bad patch is a big reason why the team trusts and responds to him.

Also, the order as it currently stands provides balance throughout the lineup, so why make it top heavy unnecessarily? Bohm is beginning to hit the ball hard, and finally broke through last night. Don't overthink it, just leave a good thing alone.

Clutch as F and take it to another level in the playoffs and in pressure situations.

The Anti-Sixers.

And LOL at chicken littles who were scared of the garter snakes. Like I said, they got NO CHANCE against this juggernaut!

Welp, after exploding in game 2, the bats were due for an off night. I guess that was tonight. Not worried although if they lose again tomorrow night, I may be singing a different tune. Let's try to wrap this up in 5 or 6 at most while hoping the ALCS goes 7. The Astros are up big in game 4 so that's looking more and more likely.

Really impressed with Suarez BTW. He's gonna earn himself a nice payday next season whether it's with the Phils or some other team. Kimbrel, on the other hand, not so much.

Nice comeback. Can we hold a couple of innings? No, we get a replay from yesterday. (Anybody remember Jim Fregosi and Wild Thing?) Bryce with the death stare.

Terrible loss. Kimbrel aka Mitch Williams 2.0 shouldn't be anywhere near the mound unless it's a blowout. This one's on Thomson for repeating the same mistake twice in as many nights with both Kimbrel and Kerkering.

I really hope that we aren’t seeing this team in the process of choking away another trip to the World Series.

Kimbrel cannot pitch again. Please remove him from the roster.

Nothing grinds my gears more than bullpen pitchers walking dudes. Like go out there and throw f'ing strikes, bro.

Kobblehead · Post #135 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 11:45 am

BTW, what a waste of money the Taijuan Walker signing was.

Dude is making $18m a year and can't even pitch in the playoffs?

Yup, Thomson should have started him instead of Sanchez last night or at the very least put him in for long relief after pulling Sanchez in the second.

Lorenzen is another arm that he is not utilizing. What was the point of Dombrowski even acquiring him if he's not going to be used?

Embiid P · Post #137 » by **Embiid P** » Sun Oct 22, 2023 3:05 am

Nice bounce back game. Kudos to Thomson for letting Wheeler who was his usual self go 7 innings. Even though Dominguez made it a bit interesting at the end, I'm glad he avoided using Kimbrel.

Let's wrap it up at the Bank on Monday.

the_process · Post #138 » by **the_process** » Mon Oct 23, 2023 4:18 am

No Kimbrel, no problem.

Also have a chance to end at the same time as Texas/Houston to adjust the pitching matchups.

Miserable start. Better start scoring.

Looking like gm 6 Sixers right now.
