It’s all good bro. We all bleed Phillie red.

Estevez is gonna give us all heart attacks in one run leads in the playoffs 

We clinched the bye now right?

Got the bye. And won 6-9. Nice!!

Clinched at least number two seed

Phillies get the bye!

F yeah! 

Hope these guys continue to hit.

Love to see AZ get the 5th seed as long as the Phillies keep 2. 

 

 

Rest now and then bring on Red October baby!

So when would we be off until? Saturday 10/5?

Yep. 3 final games against the Nats starting tomorrow then off until 10/5.

How can the A’s play the last game in Oakland and not wear the classic home uniforms. What dumb box of rocks makes these decisions?

Yes. And so I would hope all the position players, relief pitchers and starting pitchers continue to play in the Nats series as they normally would.

Why trade Painter away when you can get Crochet for only money in Free Agency … if you are the successful bidder

It'll be interesting to see if the Phillies go with 12 or 13 pitchers. I would prefer they go with 14 hitters and 12 pitchers. 

Hitters- Schwarber, Turner, Harper, Bohm, Castellanos, JT, and Stott are your mainstays (I do wonder if Thomson will do a Stott/ Sosa platoon or just let Stott roll with it regardless of the matchup). For outfield/ bench- Sosa, Stubbs, Hays, Marsh, Rojas, Clemens, Wilson, and Stevenson. That's 15 hitters so they will need to cut one if they roll with 14 or 2 if they want the extra pitcher. As much as I like Clemens, I think he is the one who gets clipped because he can only field either LF or first and both of those are already covered.

I want to say they alluded to the fact they are going to keep an extra hitter because they have better bench players this year than in the past. But really this comes down to your 12th pitcher on the roster is going to either Walker, allard, Gilbert or Lazar. Not sure you want two of those guys. 

If they put Walker on the postseason roster, the fans might burn the stadium down
