Their pitching numbers aren’t indicative of what they actually have cause Kelly and Rodriguez missed significant amount of this year. Kelly is just starting to get back into form. Rodriguez hasn’t not been good but they are also trying to work his shoulder back into shape similar to Ranger Suarez with his issues. Even gallen has missed time for the dbacks. With gallen and Kelly they have a legit 1-2 and they both have proven they can win in the postseason. You better be able to hit in the postseason, ask the Phillies why they lost games 3,6 and 7 in the nlcs last year. I’d point out the dbacks pitching numbers weren’t spectacular last year entering the postseason particularly their bullpen. First the Astros aren’t a WC team. they are a division winner. They’ll play in the WC round but they aren’t in the WC race. Why i said the most dangerous team in the WC (wild card). Which I meant in the wild card race and really meant specifically for the Phillies in the NL. Imo think the Astros are likely the most dangerous threat to the Yankees in the AL side. Second i should’ve also put in the NL WC. The WC in the AL doesn’t effect who the Phillies have to play to get to the WS. . I was strictly talking about NL with the Phillies in that comment. Can make a great argument for the padres being that but the padres have really struggled vs. the Phillies. The Phillies play well against the padres in Sd and in Philly. the dbacks have had guys in and out of the lineup for much of the year (Marte, Walker, Moreno, Carroll was dealing with a shoulder problem most of the first half of the season) yet still best in baseball and their rotation had a bunch of injuries (was a disaster in April, May and July due to injuries). They currently are 5-5 vs padres and 4-3 vs. the Phillies. I’d add dbacks were tied for the best record in baseball since June 1 before last night. have the best record since July 1st. I think they are more dangerous to the Phillies as they know how to win in Philadelphia as they did it game 6 and 7 last year. The Phillies don’t play well in AZ. The dbacks don’t fear going into CBP Skubal is awesome. the royals even if they lose have SF and nationals after this series. They avoid snell in that SF series. The tigers go to Baltimore after this series before facing the rays and white Sox. twins are in the last WC spot. They are not playing well right now. 5-9 in their last 14. (Royals haven’t been great either but they are 7-5 in their last 12). Twins have to face Cleveland 2 more times then go to Boston and finish with the orioles (who are likely needing to win to secure the homefield advantage in the WC especially if they run into a hot tigers team). Sandwiched in between is the marlins. I think the twins could wind up being the team that misses out. Royals if they manage to find a way to win today really boosts their playoff odds considering their next 6 games and they’d have a 4 game lead over the tigers. I’d bet on the tigers with skubal. but then again i also thought Phillies throwing nola vs. Quintana would be a win for us and a loss for us with allard/walker pitching for the Phillies vs. severino who’s been one of the better starters on the Mets over the last month (6 starts his era is 2.35). Add on the marlins just beat the dodgers scoring 11 runs, Braves blew a 5-1 lead to the reds and the dbacks just lost 2 in a row to the Rockies. Weird stuff tends to happen in September that you usually don’t think will happen. The reality is that we are all speculating ... gazing into the future through a crystal ball. The one new reality is that the Diamondbacks lead the Rockies by 6-0 after one inning.

September 18, 20242 yr Interesting nugget from jayson Stark during his interview on the radio. He said he thinks the Phillies are leaning to Christopher Sanchez pitching game two at home in the playoffs. And Aaron Nola being their number three starter. Which I think they should do because Christopher Sanchez’s splits home and away are drastic. He is a phenomenal at home. On the road, you might get that phenomenal or might get a bad outing.

I have no faith in almost "Superstar" Nola either way
September 19, 20242 yr That was an awful at bat by Castellanos that first base ump is a dbag. He definitely didn’t swing
