MLB Playoff Pool

So I was just relistening to the WIP radio call from last nights Phillies game and caught something that I missed the first time thru. I had known it was Harpers birthday but I hadn’t heard that last nights game was the first time in the big leagues that he’d ever gotten to play on it. He’s such a gamer I swear it boggles the mind that they pitched to him at ALL lol let alone after he hit that bomb.
By the way did anyone hear that interview with Harper from last night regarding pressure? If not it’s worth a listen kinda gave me a new respect for him honestly

He held up three fingers on one hand and one finger on the other hand to show he was 31 years old and then put those fingers together and blew them out like candles LOL.

Trea Turner took his turn! Boom
-
I want the Phillies to win, but I’m willing Schwarber to not hit a third home run. I don’t want to have to do that moment!
-
Wonder if I’m the only one still listening to this game lol. The announcers seem to think so haha and maybe I am what a thrashing
-
Yup Philly is dismantling Arizona

Nope! Bottom of the 8th in a mercy win...DOH.
-
15 homers for the Phillies in the last four games (two innings to go), the last 13 being solo homers how about that for a stat!

Moved to page 13 for a quicker reference.

Hahaha did you hear that? They must’ve heard you they brought in Jake Cave for Schwarber lol he nearly tripled but got hosed it sounded like but hey, no 3 homer moment now at least! Phew we dodged that one!
-
LOL! I know. I was relieved.
I changed the chart already. If Philly somehow blows a 10-run lead, I'll change it, and withdraw my rooting for them.

I bet we’ve not heard the last of them though don’t you? I bet they give a better showing when they’re back at home. They are plenty good enough to tie the series at home and make this one more interesting. I’d like to see some series go the distance…we’ll see what the astros have to say about tomorrow against Scherzer
-
I agree. They will have the advantage in Chase Field.
-
If I was a teenager, I would try and get Turner to give me sliding lesson. His slides are graceful and poetic. I noticed Harper came close to a Turner slide yesterday, so he may be working on it.

I watched it to the very end buddy. Philly team is much better than last year and has way more confidence. They are beast with a Louisville Slugger
-
So I just discovered the “condensed game” tab over at MLB and have just crammed a couple of weeks worth of games into a few hours and I gotta say I’m delighted!
Anyways just wanted to point out what an incredibly good performance that Nola put on for us last night! He was zeroed in and relaxed (yeah, a double digit lead will do that lol) and his curveball was just incredible. Those batters had no chance. Still, I say these teams that are down right now still very much have the chance to turn things around and make for a much more interesting round of playoffs.
-
Im just glad the Astros didnt lose last night.
-
If they lose tonight then I might have to concede their chances but if they should win this first game I think they’ll flip the script I truly do.
Did anyone happen to catch that beautiful double that Marsh hit last night down the third base line? That was an incredible piece of hitting I just keep watching it. I swear I’ve tried hitting balls like that on this game and have never come close…I’ve pulled the ball similarly but never oppo

Man! You got me. I stared at your post, saying to myself "They didn't lose? Wait? Why didn't I watch that game? Wait! What? Mannnnn, they didn't play last night. That's right, they didn't lose."

Nola never pitched with a big lead, it was 2-0 until bot 6, he didn't come out for the 7th
