I want the playoffs bad but I don’t want this season to ever end. Watching this team every night and hearing the stories about how close they are/hard they work is awesome
Phillies are the best team in the MLB, insanely talented, and have been in the NLCS the last 2 years.
My trauma from the last 15 years still leads me to think that they’re going to lay an egg every game and collapse eventually 😂
I feel like Phillies fans and
@calumscott
are going through one of those amicable breakups where it’s “right person, wrong timing” and you root for their success from a distance but for your own health, you have to stay far away 😂😂😂
That’s a game the Phillies should lose. No reason but it’s part of the 162 game season, they just happen. The fact that they found a way to win shows they are an incredibly good baseball team
I don’t think you’ll find an entire team more bought in. Walker didn’t sit the entire game. Guys like Lorenzen, Castro, Covey were absolutely losing their minds all game
People are severely underestimating Nola’s ability to throw 200 innings each. The best ability is availability. You want to make the playoffs? You need one of your best starters to throw every 5 days
In his last 11 appearances, Jeff Hoffman has thrown 10.2 innings. In that span, he has 0 runs, 6 hits, 2 walks, 17 Ks.
Out of all his 16 appearances, he has only given up runs in 1 of them
Picture this:
the bank is sold out on a beautiful summer Friday night. Turner comes up to the plate, and to his surprise, he receives a standing O.
He takes a deep breath. He’s get in the box and Bam! Home run.
I’ve realized that the Phillies are setting up for a game 6 clinch for Nola. Struggled all season and has been the man in October. He deserves to send us to the World Series. Phillie for life
The funniest thing about the days off argument? If ATL played last week, Fried would’ve been hurt and then they would’ve used the excuse of not being healthy 😭
The Phillies win their 2nd game in as many nights against the 1st Place Brewers with their 4th starter, and without their starting SS and LF. With a chance to sweep tomorrow.
WHAT CAN THEY SAY NOW
@beccasbraves
The Braves should sue the MLB. It’s truly disgusting that these players get a few days off! They should start the playoffs 10 minutes after game 162!
Last year I felt as if the playoffs were a dream and was unsure if we would win the next game. Right now, I feel full confidence and truly think the Phillies have the most talent left. LFG
If the Phillies don’t trade for a bat, then they have to sign hoskins. Otherwise, it’s literally the same lineup/bench as this past season. You have to find ways to improve and signing hoskins would be an easy one
The year is 2045. My family and I are at CBP for Bryson Stott’s # retirement.
My son asks, "So dad, if Utley was the 2B for 15 years and then Stott was the 2B for 15 years, what happened in between?"
Jean Segura flashes before my eyes. Then I cry

Anyone find it funny how Braves fans try to defend their players, but indirectly insult them instead. “Arcia didn’t say ‘atta boy,’ he can’t speak English!” You don’t think a 29 year old baseball lifer knows what atta boy means 😂
