Yup as expected, no credit at all to the team with the 3rd best record in the nl since june behind only the 100 win braves and 110 win dodgers, no credit to the ace that was runner up for cy young last year, no credit for the other ace that was 3rs in cy young behind degrom and scherzer who just a week ago PGd the astros for 6 and 2/3.
No credit to your own pitchers who kept the game at 2-0 when it easily could have been 5 or 6.
Nope they blew it, melted down, didnt come through.
Well thats not what i saw, i saw a ton of fight on both sides, incredible pitching that dominated, wind and temperature that really screwed the hitters on both sides, and a team that could have been 100+ wins if they didnt beat themselves as much as they did, not give in keep fighting and capitalize on an opportunity.
i then saw the cardinals also not give in and try and fight back after, in both games.
both played hard, both played like they deserved to win, but only one could.Nah never said that at all, i give the Phillies a ton of credit, i'm pulling for the Phillies over the Braves at least. Best of luck

Not you, but others in the thread it seems thats how they feel.i am quite used to the phils being underestimated underrated and under credited.
the braves however wont do any of that, they are very familiar with the phils capabilites and will be prepared, it will be a great series -

both played hard, both played like they deserved to win, but only one could.Definitely not trying to take anything away from the fighting Phils. My buddy observed that this was payback for 2011 and rightfully so. They played the better game..but it is notable when our 2-4 hitters (2 of which will compete for MVP) went 1-22 and your closer sets a major league record for worst 9th inning meltdown. And Goldy was swinging at pitches 2 feet out of the strike zone. It's just disappointing and we're venting.
Personally I'm proud of my team for the incredible season they had. In my wildest imagination I never saw Pujols going off like this. It is a season for the ages the way he came on in the last 2 months and passed Arod, got to 700 and then 703 and then passed the Babe in RBIs. Amazing.
Props to your pitching. They really handled the Cards. And best of luck against the Champs.

I'm not discounting the Phillies. They won. Their pitching was excellent.
I didn't see the offense that I would like to see from a team that could make a deep run (from either team in this series). As I said yesterday they were actually outhit by the Cards in the series. The next two teams that they potentially have to face are those two teams who did have better records since June. I think they'll need to ramp things up to get past the Braves.
They did what the needed to do against the Cardinals though and that is all that matters at this point. So kudos are deserved.

What a comeback by the Phillies
Great comeback. Lazy day of BR and a Cardinal playoff loss. It's what dreams are made of.
Yeah cause the cubs are a fantastic team. Trash post trash attempt at trolling. Chicago sports fans are a joke

Goldsh!t and Errornado sh!t the bed HARD
Don't be that guy. Yes, they were disappointing in these two games, but without them we don't make the playoffs at all.
Told you Arenado isn’t cut out for the playoffs.
The Rockies made the correct move letting him go. 3rd base isn’t really a high value defensive position. You can get serviceable defense and someone that will get on base in the playoffs for 10 percent of Arenado’s cost.

So much schadenfreude in here.

I get it, but when your two stars fold like a paper plane they're not getting far anyway Doly

A Cubs fan talking mess, been a looong tme since I've seen that haha
It's all fun and games. I'll probably cry if the Cardinals sign Willson Contreras this off-season, so don't feel bad.
No, there is a lot of logic to this happening. Why didn’t the Cubbies trade him? Still don’t get it. Hiding a rebuild from fans. Very much annoys me.

A qualifying offer/competitive balance pick was valued more than the prospects they were offered. Soto entering the trade market effected his value. The NYM regret the Pete Crow-Armstrong trade and let it effect a potential Contreras trade. That’s why he wasn’t traded.
Still, I feel bad about how it worked out for Contreras. Hopefully his free agent market isn’t dried up by the draft pick compensation.

balls in play were greatly impacted by weather,adrenaline nerves and tension effecting play on both sides, cardinals did put up a fight did deserve to win, just got beaten.
Phils were better this time.thats all. -
