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

That was uncomfortable to watch. He has nothing.

 

[Jack Straw]

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

Yeah, that probably qualifies. Although the French Connection was scary good.

Kershaw was fine during the regular season. Looks like they tapered his workload in September to prep for the playoffs as well. I don't think he's cooked.

 

[Schwarbomb]

The Phils will draw first blood.

 

[Halladay]

Odds they change the playoff format next year?

How would they change it though?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Give the teams that are sitting at home a free win or something.

I don’t like it but…

Honestly, they'll just invite a couple more teams so that everyone plays in the first round. The rest absolutely kills good teams every year to the point where it might be better to play in the wildcard round unless you get a crap team in the divisional round that allows you to find your way again

One game wild cards again. More drama. Less layoff.

 

[DancingPanther]

Missed the entire 9th inning because I walked into a fire. Not one but 2 NICU babies getting intubated. Glad to see they eeked it out. What an enormous win. Holy f***. Wheeler tomorrow? Don't f*** this up

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Fourth wild card with a one game round between the wild card teams?

Forgot there’s only three divisions in baseball.

 

[BiggE]

Yeah, that probably qualifies. Although the French Connection was scary good.

True but Parent was such a huge advantage over the Sabres goaltending tandem. Plus, the Sabres were so intimidated when they played in the Spectrum.

If not for the shitty ice and fog in their dime store arena, the Flyers would have won in 5.

 

[Flybynite]

Sheehan was like 1 more base-runner from turning into

Monday

We're changing the playoff format because the Dodgers' starting pitching is messy?

You're a psycho.

Monday.

We’re changing the playoff format because the teams that sit at home have been smacked the last two years.

Someone is going to complain about it. They quietly complained about it last year.

Not what I want. Just what I think they would do.

AL seems fine. Pretty easy to shut that down.

 

[Halladay]

The Braves hadnt been shut out at home since August of 2021, not bad.

 

[Magua]

Top 2 wild cards get byes. Top 2 division winners don't. Put it to the test!

 

[Cody Webster]

Monday.

Drugs

 

[wankstifier]

It's not like these teams aren't benefiting from a layoff. I'm not sure if Fried would've been available in the old format.

 

[Halladay]

The fact of the matter is, one of the best players in baseball (Bryce) missed over a month a had the power of Ben Revere for the next two months. The Braves arent really 16 games better than the Phillies. Them potentially winning this series wouldnt be a historic upset.
