If strider isn’t available for the Braves the phils have a good shot. Especially because they swept the cards and kept Ranger available for game 1 and the bullpen gets 2 days off. What a sports day we have next Saturday, Psu vs UM at noon and then the Phillies have a home playoff game as long as there isn’t a sweep

Did anyone else see the NLDS promo on BTN seconds ago? It promoted the Dodgers-Mets and Braves Cardinals starting Tuesday?

Is Fox this stupid? (Rhetorical question.)

EDIT: I tried adding video from my phone of DVR playback but it says file too large. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. It's a 30-second promo from Fox/FS1 on BTN

Good move by the Braves. Just pay early. We’re gonna see $40 million + contracts much more regularly by the end of the decade. Believe they signed their young outfielder to a similar deal a month or so back.

Just a mistake I assume. They make ads early all the time with different combinations. Similar to making t shirts for the runner ups

The guy absolutely earned this. I feel good about his decisions. Of course, every manager can be second guessed, but compared to Joe, I find myself second-guessing Thompson much less.
His only mistake during the Wild Card series was not putting vierling in for Castellanos in the 9th inning in game 2 for defense. All of his bullpen decisions were perfect.

They did, and a part of why they signed them is because one of the 2 will win ROY and if you win that you gain a year of service time and get to free agency quicker. Now it won’t impact them because they extended both of them by 2 years. Would love to see us do this with ranger and buy out his arb years and extend another 2 years. Possibly stott and marsh as well

That's right. Forgot about that. Yeah, makes all the more sense then. I would assume the Phils are scared to do that after Kingery, but Stott and Suarez certainly make the most sense in my eyes. Marsh has played pretty well since making the move. If he can bat .290ish next year, then yeah, I'm down with that too. He's proved to be a pretty good move so far.

Tickets are currently $220+ for standing room for Friday's game at CBP. A little bit rich for my taste for a baseball game with no seat.

you can discuss the game in this thread. Just don't go overboard on the chop nonsense or being too much of a rah-rah Braves fan. This is a Phillies thread.

Ranger had some control issues in the bottom of the 1st (a concern, as he's not going to beat you with overpowering stuff), but he got out of it.

Nice start. Not a lot of hard hits, but they found their way through.
Phils were due for some positive regression to the mean.

D'Arnaud takes an inside changeup and puts it in the left field stands. 2-1 Phils, with Braves still batting in the bottom of the 2nd.

Look for Snitker to use Odorizzi in long relief if the Phils keep this up.

A sac fly by Bohm and a two-out single by Segura gives the Fightins 2 more runs in the top of the 3rd. 4-1, Phils

WTH with this? People have to work. Eff the Dodgers and Yankees. Can't wait for the shadows to ruin a couple games.

Ugh, yeah, not a fan of those times. High school games Friday night, PSU has a massive game Saturday. Bummer.

Nice, Ranger gets out of based loaded jam in the bottom of the 3rd with a K. Still 4-1, Phils after 3.

really some $hitty game times. Friday right at rush hour. Saturday during the PSU game. If we get to game 5, at least the Phils and Birds won't be playing at the same time.
