Absolutely need to win tonight. Phillies have never won a playoff series when losing game 1

Actually had a convo with my friend last night, i think game one is bigger for the Phillies than the padres. It takes the pressure off nola and the bats in game 2 to have to win. Down the stretch when the Phillies had to win games they started to press and look tight which effected their play.   I feel like when the Phillies play with house money and loose they hit like they did against atlanta and play better. At minimum you want a split in San Diego. Ideally, you wanna win both games but if you get a split, it is likely you can win two of three in Philadelphia and get back to San Diego for game 6 with nola on the mound. Also if you hit darvish i think confidence will go up for guys  

If the Phillies go down 2-0 I don’t think they can come back in this series and win considering the game 3 and 4 matchups. The thing that scares me with the Padres right now is when you beat a team that you just haven’t been able to your confidence soars. Go back to when the Red Sox finally beat the Yankees. They felt like they could beat anybody after that and they weren’t going to lose. they showed it in the next round. I think one of two things is going to happen: Padres are gonna play even better or they’re gonna come out flat after getting over that hurdle 

 

oh it's on now! 

That’s a new tactic. Using doctor suess rhymes to taunt us. Lose and cruise! That’s what’s iiiiinnnn!

Can we bring back the SKOL chant? That was BS.

I prefer to use "that’s what’s iiiiinnn” to mock them.

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. 

 

Here is the unofficial Phillies good luck charm bumping the post that got the mojo started, only need to bump it 8 more times.

 

The Phillies would likely be up if the shift rule for 2023 are in place 

That was an awful at bat castellanos

Are there two more punchable faces than Soto and Machado?   I don’t think so.  

Castellanos is up there 

Feels like whoever gets to 3 runs in the first two games is gonna win them. 

Day game? We're F'd

Can they swing when there are 1 or 2 strikes and its right down the middle?

So their plan is to look at perfectly good strikes go right across the plate?

If darvish gets 7 innings tonight they might not score with Suarez and hader likely coming in for the 8th and 9th. They really need to figure out how to get darvish pitch count up so they can go against some of the lesser pen guys in the 5-7 innings. 

Swing the bats you morons!! JFC.

Looks like they are waiting on splitters and sliders and darvish changing it up by just throwing fastballs right down the middle of the plate. At some point change your approach.
