You know he’s probably not 100% from that calf injury. You’re down three runs against arguably the best bullpen going right now in the playoffs. You’re better off giving Robertson two extra days to help him heal and maybe it helps him on Friday if you need him.

Managers manage. Players play. They still have some holes to fill to get better. However, they are still a fairly young team and have a superstar who has so far, showed up in October. My point about the managerial change is that teams that suck so bad that their manger is fired mid season, rarely make the playoffs. I never expected them to make it this far this year. My wife and I have endured a lot of bad Phillies baseball over the past ten years and I am excited about the future of this team. That said, this series is far from over. Go Phillies!!!
October 20, 20223 yr Notice the lack of excitement when the Phillies lead off with a homer and base got but he wets his pants when SD turned the DP?

I kind of felt like the Padres would win it in 6 before the series cause games 3 and 4 i felt was advantage padres with the pitching matchups and padres bullpen pitching like they are. So the Phillies if they were gonna pull this out had to win every nola and wheeler start or pray that Suarez had a game where he pitched the game of his life to make up if we lost one of nola or wheeler’s start.

Why I was at least happy they forced them into having to pitch Suarez and hader today. I get there’s an off day tomorrow but at least you forced them into having to use them and got to see them up close for the first time in a while so maybe you figure something out down the line with them. I really didn’t like them going with Robertson today. Basically with no days off from game three to game seven he’s pitching every other day. We know he can’t pitch back to back. So for a week he’s pitching every other day. That’s a lot for him and he has a calf issue going on. You were better just giving him the extra two days off and then going every other day game three, game five and then game seven. It sounds like giving up but down 3 with Suarez and hader you were better off hoping gibson could manage a couple scoreless innings and Robertson with two extra days of rest might be a little healthier
October 20, 20223 yr Blowing that game will probably cost them the series. Musgrove going Friday is most likely a loss, and then the Padres have all the momentum. Lots of confidence coming back from down 4-0 too. Regardless, they went a lot further than any of us thought.

Lots of confidence coming back from down 4-0 too. Regardless, they went a lot further than any of us thought. I actually think the first inning of game 3 is gonna tell us how that game is going to go. If Suarez comes out rolling and we can get to musgrove then it really changes the dynamic. The difference today is in SD the crowd once they chipped into the lead could get behind them and an avalanche started. If Suarez comes out dealing and they hit musgrove early it could be an avalanche on the side of the Phillies. However if Suarez is walking guys left and right like atlanta and our bats look as miserable as they did from the 3 inning onward then it could unravel fast for us. i just really have a strong hunch we will know what direction the game is going by the end of the first.

I think realistically you gotta at least win two out of three going back to San Diego for game 6 up 3-2 with Aaron Nola on the mound. The season and World Series comes down to Aaron Nola being either the hero or faltering in game six At that point.

That being said, I think we'll be fine. We're WINNING this Series!

I do think they need to be up 3-2 going back to SD to win it. They can’t be down 3-2 cause they aren’t winning game 6 and 7. 14 minutes ago, JohnB said: apparently Nola doesn't beat the Padres though. Maybe he's not the guy to do it.

Took the loss 1-0. If we can somehow get back to San Diego up 3-2 with nola going game 6 that is still in our favor. The Phillies have hit snell for 3+ runs each time they faced him (twice got 4). Just got to at least win 2 of 3 this weekend.

October 20, 20223 yr Well, a very sheety loss but the bigger picture still says the Phils did their job and got a split. Now they need at least two but far better to close it on Sunday. Realistically, we are going back to SD and it is going to be very very tough to win the series.
October 20, 20223 yr Yesterday is definitely a mood changer for the fans but did everyone think....yeah, we are going to win 8 games in a row and win the World Series? Definitely sucked watching them blow a 4-0 lead and even worse, only score 4 runs in the first couple of innings when it seemed like they should have had like 10. But I am enjoying the post season, I'm enjoying the fact they made it this far the way they did! Lest we not forget the 6 run 9th inning that started this whole thing! Don't forget the performance by Harper, Schwarber's bomb, the 6th run 9th, Wheeler and Nola's pitching (well before yesterday). They can still win this series just as easily as lose it, let's just settle down and see what happens.
