Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: Red October (2024 Edition)

That ball was f***ing smoked. It's awesome.

Whoever called those pitches were awful. Three straight sliders with the 2nd one the batter was a little late on. 100 mph fastball outside the zone strikes him out. Instead they give him another 92/93 mph slider and it hung.

Not a good start to the postseason for some of the best relievers. Not to excuse them but I imagine coming out of the bullpen in a tight spot in the playoffs where every batter is digging in is stressful and can’t really be replicated in practice. There probably isn’t anything like it in sports mentally
