Schwarber Harper Turner Realmuto Marsh Catellanos Stott Bohm Rojas They won’t do it due to the top of the lineup being LLRR. Makes for late game situations where dbacks would just go lefty to face schwarber and harper. Then righty for the next 3 of 4.
October 24, 20232 yr Alec Bohm is just 23-101 (.228) in 29 career playoff games with one home run and 24 strikeouts.

When I'm optimistic life says spin the wheel again. Optimism is usually not something I'm associated with. I'm just feeling this for some reason. They hit a little slump, but I think the fire is finally reaching their asses. They'll respond tonight. I think Bryce & Co. step it up and the pitching holds up well enough to make it to the W.S.

He is the kind of guy who gets worse the longer the slump lasts. He doesn't have the confidence to stay within himself and right the ship. He just keeps pressing harder and harder until he has Stevie Wonder swings with balls that are 2 feet outside the strike zone.

Bryce can't step up until Alec gets his crap together or they put someone else to protect him. That being said, he needs to be more disciplined. We all know he prefers a double or homerun to a walk, but we need to get baserunners on early and often.

Again, just like Friday everyone in the world can see this just not Robby T. It makes zero sense to leave him at 4. His confidence is already crap it can't get much lower. Move Marsh up since he's hot and put Bohm in his places cause of the stats EAGLES posted. Maybe it sparks them both and more importantly Harper may see some good pitches. He won't and it will be just like Houston game 5 where they pitch around Harper and get the easy out right after him.....or even better a double play at the wrong moment. And for the love of all that is....Robby T needs to slap Turner in the face like Hitch when he says I want to swing at the first pitch. Nope...you live right here. Take the first damn pitch.

His at bat in the 2nd inning last night was infuriating. Dope swings at 3 pitches not even close to the strike zone. Everyone in the stadium and at home expects Turner to swing at the first pitch and sure enough he does and the pitch isn't even close. Smart pitching and dumb hitting from a post season veteran.
October 24, 20232 yr hope the sillies win...my kid is at temple & his roommate is a big fan & plans on climbing a greased up light post if they win

October 24, 20232 yr As we settle in for the first-ever Phillies game 7, maybe this is cool only to me, but here is an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer from April 3, 1883. It's about the very first Phillies game, held the day before.
October 24, 20232 yr Game 7s are split pretty evenly between the home and away teams. I think 50/50 is a pretty good indicator for tonight. All the pressure is on the Phils which isn't a good thing but it is what it is. Hopefully they are able to go out there with a relaxed (as possible) attitude and just play their game. If they lose doing that then so be it as anything can happen in a single baseball game and it's too late now to worry about what happened in game 4 or grind on Nola's bad outing last night.

October 24, 20232 yr Coach said all pitchers are available tonight except Nola. Surprised he wouldn't start with Wheeler. Ranger will be on a short leash I'm sure. But he's good under pressure.
