Also been awful on the road this year. Gotta make Martinez work this inning. Don’t want him able to go 4 innings where you don’t hit him or score
October 23, 20223 yr Wow, Yanks shut out again. Their offense went into hibernation. Houston a game away from the World Series.
October 23, 20223 yr Yikes. The office just went nuts to start the game and Martinez completely erased everything.

October 23, 20223 yr They are definitely going to use Martinez to clean out the middle of the lineup next inning.

October 23, 20223 yr Martinez is eventually gonna get gassed. He hasn’t thrown over 32 pitches in 2 months. I’m guessing realmuto is his last batter he faces although realmuto with an awful at bat there likely keeps him in the game.

IMO, the Phillies were better in 2009, 2010, and 2011 than they were in 2008. But in 2008, they were a good team that was playing their best baseball in October. The Nationals were a merely good team playing their best baseball in October when they won the WS. Ditto the Braves last year...and the Phillies made short work of a much better Braves team this October. It's not often that a team just gets hot and plays their best baseball in October. That's happening for the Phillies this year. That only happens once or so per decade for most franchises, so you've got to make the most of it.

The Astros used Javier today who’s their 4th starter. He likely could be a no. 2 on most teams. They have yet to lose a game in the playoffs

So F them.
October 23, 20223 yr Well, I didn't think we'd be sitting here 4-3 at the top of the 4th after that 1st inning. But the floodgates will open again.

The longer the series, the more their pitching takes over.

Just got hope the padres pull Martinez for manaea in the 4th. We should be able to hit manaea. Manaea hasn’t pitched since October 5th. Should really take some pitches see if he’s rusty

Their long reliever in hunter brown easily could be our 3rd starter. He’s gonna be a top of the rotation guy in time.

The best model to win in October is pitching, pitching, pitching. But the problem in the last decade is that pitching doesn't stay healthy and has shorter careers than it used to. So it's easier said than done to just dump resources into 24 year old flame throwers who will soon need Tommy John and will be throwing batting practice at 28.

October 23, 20223 yr Author Manaea in. Garbage arse Castelanos double. Should have been a single. Bad outfielding

Martinez is really good. Has been the second half of the year. The padres were likely not thrilled they had to use him first to 3rd inning and not 5-7th. Manaea is a lot like thor and falter. No clue what you are getting
