Tbh i mentioned before game 2 I’d consider moving Wheeler to game 3 and nola to game 4. It was due to the potential rain but also i just think it set you up better to win the series. Losing game 2 wasn’t the end of the world for the Phillies if wheeler wasn’t pitching. 1-1 split in atlanta would’ve been fine and you’d have the advantage pitching wise in games 3 and 4. With Wheeler squaring off against wright it was a push and you were hoping the offense would figure out wright. Whereas in game 3 or 4 if atlanta went Morton, it’s an advantage Phillies with Wheeler or nola. If they went strider in either game 3 or 4 it’s still an advantage cause he’s on a pitch count with those two. at this point it’s not changeable and it is what it is. But i think now in hindsight the Phillies might regret not going that route. I get can still use Wheeler on short rest but with his forearm injury a month ago not sure if that’s the smartest thing for him.
October 14, 20224 yr I don't want to be negative because usually I have very positive outlook on everything but all this talk of home being such a great place, lets review the last few series of playoff baseball at home. 2011 Lost game 5 against cards, choked game 2, 2010, lost NLCS at home to giants and lost game 1, 2009 lost 2 of 3 at home to Yankees.

Those were in a time where home playoff series had become pretty commonplace….they had just won’t he World Series in ‘08 so that crowd hunger wasn’t quite the same. That Philly crowd has now been waiting for over a decade for another one. It’s going to be electric.
October 14, 20224 yr I just returned from vacation and found out that I will get the game on my new streaming service! Totally psyched. Early enough for me to watch. Iggles/Boyz will be a tough one though starting at 2:20am. btw - The most electric Phillies game that I ever attended was the 15-14 loss to the Blue Jays back in '93. One of those Mitch special come from ahead losses. Crazy nutty game played in a very very light almost undetectable drizzle. It was back in the "whoomp there it is" phase. Dykstra came within a foot of matching Reggie with three dingers. Buddy of mine and I drove up from NoVA and scalped tickets. Wasn't a fun ride home.

They win that game I think they win the series.
October 14, 20224 yr Time to start trying to bunt for basehits. Can't keep going up there and whiffing.

October 14, 20224 yr Lol, Marsh is the first base runner on a walk. Guess that hair and beard was intimidating.

I haven’t shaved mine since beginning of March. Was gonna cut it if Phillies missed the playoffs but now it’s gotta continue with how well the eagles are playing and us making the playoffs
