September 28, 20224 yr Games left and wins don't matter as much as losses and tiebreaker. The Brewers have 2 more losses and lose the tiebreaker so its 3 games up. They have to make up the 3 loss difference. If the Phillies go 5-4 in the last 9 then the Brewers can go 6-2 and still miss the playoffs. If they are 4-5 or 3-6 in their last 9 then they don't deserve the playoffs.

If they are 4-5 or 3-6 in their last 9 then they don't deserve the playoffs. There’s a decent possibility they go 4-5 or 3-6. Cubs are 33-29 since the all star break. They aren’t playing horribly and we can’t hit. And we tend to not hit pitching we’ve not seen before. Phillies have two of those types coming up in this cubs series the next two games.
September 28, 20224 yr The weird thing about Houston for the last 3 is that even if they are resting their top starters, their 5 and 6 guys can be very good. They have 7 good major league starters right now. They had one of the top pitching staffs all year then they got McCullers back 4-1 2.38 and brought up Hunter Brown. Brown is a recent call up depth guy and he's 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA. They might rest Altuve and Alvarez but their pitchers might still be able to shut down this lineup.
September 28, 20224 yr Hunter brown is really really good. There’s been some in the organization that have compared him to verlander in his throwing style and his ability. I was listening to fantasy on Sirius as they talked about him when he got called up. They had an Astros beat writer come on saying he’s been told about the comp to verlander numerous times by the organization. That kid is legit. McCullers is also really good now that he’s healthy. I wonder if they cap his innings but still start him because they are gonna have a week off when the season ends as the no. 1 seed. imo houston is the best team in the league. People will say the dodgers who i think have a better 1-9 lineup but the Astros pitching imo is better than the dodgers particularly the bullpen. And i trust verlander, Valdez, McCullers and Javier more than i trust kershaw, urias, gonsolin (who’s missed a bunch of time) and Anderson.

I'd rather have the Mets or the Astros with their pitchers in a 3 starters dominate the playoffs scenario. The Astros can throw out a good 4 if needed. The Phillies have a punchers chance if Wheeler gets back to 90+ pitches and Nola stays good Nola and Suarez has some nice starts. That could all happen and they could still lose some crucial 3-2 games.
September 29, 20224 yr Sure top of the 4th no outs runners at 2nd and 1st and now you Fing bunt name a more depressing duo than the Phillies and bases loaded

Even if the brewers lose to alcantara and gallien they’ll go 6-3. I don’t think the Phillies win all 4 against the nats nor beat the cubs tomorrow. Good chance we finish the season 3-6

Really since the all star break series anyone not named the nats, pirates and reds they’ve been completely feast or famine. since all star break Phillies offense vs. nats, pirates and reds: 6.1 runs Phillies offense vs. everyone else: 3.8

Supposedly one on Fridays and potentially another just to get the games in. And doubleheader that’s known has has gibson and thor. The nationals might suck but even against that crap team it’s hard to win both games of a doubleheader

If somehow we made it and they are a catalyst for us making it in and we knock them out in the first round, it’s at least a little justice for us allowing them in in 2011 and then them beating us. don’t know who this yepez guy is but hoping he hits a grand slam

September 29, 20224 yr Stott’s hitting on high pitches or chasing high pitched is terrible. It’s something he really needs to work on this offseason
