2022 Phillies Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Probably thousands and thousands of people all trying to get limited tix at the same time. Not surprised at all. And to think some of those September games were drawing flies at the ballpark. Have to wonder how this run will affect season ticket sales in 2023.
I’ve got a schedule conflict and will miss the beginning of the game.

Betting not many of us ever expected this thread would be active at this late date. Pleasant surprise.
Hard to believe all 3 Ks that inning were looking. Hoskins is really exasperating with all of the good pitches he takes. Can't figure out what he's trying to do.
The umpire definitely is having difficulty judging the low ball specifically...neither team's batters seem happy with the strike zone in general.
So I just got home ... I only caught the inning where Harper hit the HR on the radio broadcast. Phillies radio broadcasters, especially LA, seemed really frustrated with how many fastballs the Phils were taking, especially for 3rd strikes. Is Darvish pitching a great game, or is the home plate ump having a tough night, or are the Phils taking too many pitches (or some combo of these)?
Schwarber with the HR to lead off the 6th inning ... 2-0, Phils

The broadcasters indicated Darvish has thrown something like 18 different speeds on his pitches so it’s hard to anticipate what he will throw.Harper said he was waiting for the fastball post his homer.
some random comments from tonight's game:
^^ I think this was before Schwarber's HR at the top of the 6th; not certain ^^

I agree with Harp. Might as well get ready for #1 and hope you can adjust to whatever he spins up there. But Darvish has to be a handful given the gap in speeds and the number of variations he throws. I always wonder if given this that these guys are guessing a bit and simply can’t adjust or react. This is as good a pitching matchup you can get.
Interesting to bring Seranthony in for the 8th inning. The way he pitched in the 4th game of the NLDS on Sunday, I'd save him for the 9th inning. I guess closer by committee is still the policy.
geez. The fear always with Alvarado is control. So he walks the 2nd batter on 4 pitchers. The nexts guy hits a chopper that Bohm fields cleanly but because of the shift the SS and 2nd baseman were out of position, and Bohm's throw to Stott is an error. smh. 1st & 2nd with 1 out and Machado at the plate.
Alvarado gets Machado to fly out to RF. Josh Bell to the plate with men on 1st & 2nd and 2 out.
Alvarado gets Bell to strike out.
Final, 2-0, Phillies in G1 of the NLCS.
Too much drama in the bottom of the 9th for me, but in the end it worked out.

Wheeler the machine. The post-season 1-2 punch of him and Nola is awesome.
