Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 (2023 Edition)

[Jack Straw]

I don’t know what the hell to do with 3 stress free games.

I think in my entire life I can only think of one stress-free Philly team, the ‘83 Sixers.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Understatement of the year but that was such a big win against Strider without your ace going.

Rob would have gotten killed for taking out Ranger had they lost, but that was the move with a weird off day before Game 2.

Ranger can be used later in the series out of the pen too.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Braves were only shutout twice in the regular season, both times on the road.

 

[Jack Straw]

I would never have bet on the Phillies bullpen to throw 5 1/3 scoreless innings.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Suddenly this series looks very winnable on paper. It goes without saying but huge win. Always nice to beat the other team’s ace without starting top of the rotation pitchers in a short series

It was really winnable on paper before Game 1, honestly.

This just makes me more confident.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Can't wait to see Strider pitch in Philly. I assume they'll be playing the clip of him complaining about noise non-stop or at least showing the quote on the jumbotron.

The hell is Barkann wearing?

Buddy...where's the gif?

Do we think it even that gets that far ?

DBacks up 1-0.

I think @BrindamoursNose nailed it. ^^^

Yeah I thought it was a coin flip pre series. It would be nice to become kryptonite for a juggernaut division rival. I think I’m more optimistic than most here but I think the Phillies have one of the best on paper teams and are in the group of a few teams that can win the World Series

 

[Striiker]

So the rumor is they want to put an expansion NHL team in Atlanta when they cant even fill more than half of a baseball playoff game?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Lol, my buddy just texted me.

“The stadium was so quiet you could hear a beer can hit the ground.”

 

[Svechhammer]

God what a big f***ing win

 

[Halladay]

DBacks already up 2-0 with runners on 2nd and 3rd and nobody out.

5-0.

Odds they change the playoff format next year?

Could he hear the beer cans hitting the field after those Neanderthal fans threw them on the grass?!

The only other was the 75 Flyers. There was no way in hell they were losing in the SCF to Buffalo.

… that’s the joke.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

C'mon Rattlesnakes! Nothing makes me more happy than early exits by the Braves and Dodgers

 

[BrindamoursNose]

… that’s the joke.

Was pretty sure - but just needed a reason to mention how much they suck again for that

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Kershaw looks more cooked than a Pittsburgh Hextall acquisition.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Kershaw- for the caliber of pitcher he is/was I can’t think of another pitcher as great as him who has had more limp dick playoff starts

 

[wankstifier]

Lol Kershaw
