I like Alvarado but at only 83 pitches I’d go back to wheeler. It’s the bottom of the padres lineup and Alvarado you want for soto 

It's a best 4 out of 7 series.  We need Wheeler as sharp as possible in his next start.

It’s best 4 out of 7 series. Only the Alds/nlds is best of 5. Also there’s no off day from game 3 to 7. So the bullpen and not over working them is going to be vital.

I’m guessing bryce would love to crush one off snell for him knocking him out for a couple months earlier this year. If we go up 2-0 it’s not making it back to SD. I’m not sure the padres realize what kind of crazy they are walking into at CBP on Friday. 

Oh they know alright.  There just isn't anything they can do about it.

People thought I was joking when I picked the Flyers to win the Stanley Cup and gave Chuck Fletcher my sports person of the year award for 2022. He had a historically great offseason. I'd know, I'm a die-hard Flyers fan. Haven't missed a game in 20 years. I bought season tickets for the first time in my life though this summer because I knew how good they were going to be. I expect Giroux and Voracek to have big years and Hart is going to kill it in net this season.

The FLYERS are going to be the team that brings a parade this summer. Put your bets in and give Fletcher executive of the year already!

Time machine post?

You are right.

I was gonna say unless they changed it this year, the Braves won NLCS in 6 in 2021 and dodgers in 7 in 2020.

Screw the Phillies, the true prize of tonight is the Sixers home opener against Boston.  

What a troll.  What a dbag.

And @jsb235 and @Utebird were butt hurt we had some fun at his expense.

NLCS snd ALCS have always been best of 7.

I think when the Phils won in 80 it was best of 5.

Yup.  Great series.  The last 4 of the 5 went extra innings.

They switched to 7 games in '85.

Was waiting for this 

Seems the Sixers missed the memo...

Just sayin'... but Jason carries that duo.   Travis is milk toast.   Jason is engaging, entertaining and funny.   Travis is just going along for the ride.

 

If Kelce doesn't end up in broadcasting when he retires, we'll all be worse off for it.

Are they still cross-training Beef Jurgey at G so we don't have to see Opeta?

So HOF as a player and a broadcaster.

Cool.

I think a better gif for the sig would be the swing and then Harper's reaction...   I miss the bat spike though.

Travis is the play by play, Jason is the color commentary. If you notice, Travis opens the show, reads all the questions and will add in context if Jason ever stumbles on something or hesitates with dead air space. He’s the one running the podcast

 

Need to have a guy who’s setting Jason up properly for these payoffs, They work well together

Travis is about as interesting as a month old newspaper.

I'm in Detroit for work on Sunday and have been calling ahead to see where/who will have the philles game. (Lions also play at 1) 

Also, open to food areas/drink areas in Detroit, one of the few places I never been

Everywhere.   If there's a place that doesn't show the NLCS... then its not a place worth going to.

So it's been 37 years, not a recent change.  I have lived in the US since 88, so it has always been 7 games for me.

If you have some time, drive to Ann Arbor and go to Mr. Spots.  It's next to the U of M campus.  Great wings and a pretty good cheesesteak.

Love to see the Phillies lose.  The sooner they disappear from any sports radio talk and it goes to full on Eagles and Sixers the better.

Unofficial Phillies mascot doubling up on the mojo today.  7 to go.

Would be ideal TBH.  Sweep or not, they will be motivated not to have to fly back to San Diego.  There is no days off in this series after tomorrow.  Odd with a EC/WC series.    

Definitely odd.

The ALCS has the same issue.  Treavel day between Games 2 and 3 but no travel day between 5 and 6.  New York doesn't get a travel day today between their game 5 of the ALDS and tonight's game 1 of the ALCS in Houston

OK.   So I guess you weren't mistaken then.  You know, because nothing before '88 ever happened.  😎
