2023 NLDS: Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies

fried is lucky he got out of that inning. honestly shocked snitker didn't pull him before facing harper a third time through.

You’d assume the Braves burn a starter here right? I guess they really only have Elder and Smith-Shawver unless they want to torch the whole pen

Bee Ok do you remember that Zack Wheeler got traded for 2 months of Beltran

I do, Posey just broke his leg and the Giants were desperate. Didn't love the move but understood it at the time

2011, right?

The Jays scoring one run in two WC games, that was exactly what you'd expect; this is kind of stunning.

It’s more how the braves are playing that is stunning than what the Phillies are doing. I think this is how most people expected the Phillies to go, especially after they showed their post-season colours again against the Marlins. I just expected the Braves to match them

Iirc the phillies are the last team to do a one-pitcher pitching very well in the playoffs (I do not acknowledge combined efforts as real, SITO).

Xps yes

2012 they won it without him. I don't think it would have much different in 2013 as the Giants missed the playoffs. 2014 would have been fun with Bumgarner but didn't need him. I guess 2016 but it was destined for the Cubs that year

Wheeler is dealing, like that they aren't overthinking this

Haha, as he gives up his second hit

Spoke too soon. Little d makes it interesting

Wow, back in it

I was just about to post about the Phillies “stone-age” not-overthinking-things strategy was proving all the nerds wrong, but alas

Braves get a massive life-line with that HR. If they don’t get themselves a win after that, going back to Philly? That’s the series 4sure

Alvarado on fire right now

That was a strike Pillar

Ditto--don't know why Pillar was squawking there.

Nasty

Appreciate the umpire not tossing anyone even though he probably had reason to with the dugout arguing and the clear as day “fuck you” (probably would have happened in a regular season game)

I mean, tossing strider for the “fuck you” would have been kinda funny and harmless

Now this should be fun

Yeah we’ve got a great final inning in store (that will sadly overlap with the dodgers start).

Ya know, I nearly forgot the chop existed for a moment there. Go Phils

I want the Braves but then hear the chop

I hate this

Lol

Wow

Did he really have to hit it right as they started doing the chop? Riley confirmed not an ally.

One handed home run, hot damn

whew, I had my ass clenched for three days

Yeah, sometimes it's better to not have any skin in the game

wooooooooooow

fuck a chop, gotta root phils here

Oh no, mlb is going to ruin my favourite early Strokes song 🙁

Was it Last Night or maybe Take it or Leave it?

Take it or leave it. As far as ad bumper songs go, it’s a great one! I hope they don’t do it every single time like mlb.tv does with everything.

LETS GO PHILS!

It was low so I only caught a bit of it

I like hearing songs I know and I know a few of them 😀

Wow

Damn, well played

What a barnburner!

lol, and i had straight up written off the braves season 3 innings ago

No real rooting interest, so that was great.

That definitely was a great game, best of the post-season so far for sure

That was a fantastic play. Well done, Braves.

Don't blame Harper there, it was just a great play

motherfucker
