2023 NLDS: Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies

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

Money Mike
Money Mike
Money Mike

I scared my wife's dog (again)

How are you calling it your wife’s dog :(

Yeah, Bryce not to blame at all, gotta go for it there and it really looked like it was falling for a hit

It's kind of an inside joke -- the cat is "mine" and the dog is "hers," but they're both totally in charge of everything.

As they should be. We're both at the mercy of our pets, but any "the dog" or "the cat" language gets an immediate deathly glare from me lol. They're people that deserve to be called by their names!

The Phils blew that game. Wheeler should have been out of the game earlier, bad baserunning by Harper in the 9th. The Braves are awesome but it seemed like such a winnable game for Philly. Great series so far.

Wow the box score tells the tale. Would have loved to see this

It was the first postseason game in baseball history to end on a double play involving an outfielder, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

good comment on reddit - just your classic 8-5-3 double play to end the game

Was tied up with Tove Lo yesterday so I missed most games but really for some baseball today.

i don't think i can watch today. too much anxiety

Nola looks sharp early

Braves score first

Tied and that was fast

fuckin crushed that one

🫣

Harper is a beast

god damn what a blast

I think Bryce Harper might be the best player in the league right now. I know others probably have better numbers but when the lights are brightest, Bryce seems to always come through

Are we gonna end up with a Phillies/Astros World Series again? I hope not.

It is looking that way isn't it

That's why he's called Bryce motherfucking Harper

Tuned in just in time to see the Harper HR. I'd say Alvarez is the best hitter still playing right now, but after washing out in his first playoff series 10 years ago, Harper is becoming one of the greatest postseason hitters ever (slugging over .600 now).

Phillies/Astros - would look like an NLCS to me, it'll never look right

Damn

Nola and Wheeler are going to pull a 2001 Johnson/Schilling all the way to the title.

What was their record against each other this year? I know the Braves won a shit load of games but the Phillies are almost embarrassing them.

Again, wiw

WOW

Wow! And I missed the staredown--subtle and brilliant--and now twice.

Love that the crowd is tainting the Atlanta Chop

Huge fan of that

I didn't know about that quote--"Attaboy, Harper," something like that--but obviously Harper's a guy you want to publicly mock.

Bryce just murders the Braves, idk what it is

What happened with him and Arcia? I don’t have it on

Kelly Gruber, 1992:

(Arcia ridiculed Harper for getting doubled off, evidently.)

(Joke that only Thermo and NoTime will get: the next day it was revealed that Gruber hurt himself while doing his fake chop.)

Who's going to beat this team this year. I can't see them being beat.
