Bader needs to play every day. Spark plug and ++ defender
JT took one of the most painful nut shots I’ve ever seen. At least half the stadium (as the announcer amusingly put it) groaned. He’s a tough SOB
Actually quote: "I'll tell ya, half of the crowd knows exactly what JT's feeling right now." Classic.

Phillies are getting big contributions from Outfielders Brandon Marsh and Harrison Bader
Marsh is 10-20 over the last 7 days; BA up to .275 for season
Bader is 11-25 over last 7 days; BA up to .313 for season
And their Outfield defense has been very good

I know we’re in full party mode right now but in what world does a team win the WS after losing their #1 in August? a bummer for sho. Me I’m going to enjoy the party as long as they’re serving.
A team with two legit number ones this year and two other legit number 2-3’s and that does not include Nola.
1st, Sanchez has pitched like a #1 this season. Just have to hope he keeps it up.
2nd, Hamels, Blanton, Meyers, Moyer, and Kendrick won the Phils a WS in 2008. Phillies pitching overall ranked 6th in ERA that year and 15th in FIP (more telling than ERA).
And since everyone likes to b!tch about how bad the current Phil line up is, the 2008 team was 9th in runs scored, 16th in OBP and 6th in slugging. Not a whole lot different than now.
Like I keep saying, winning a WS is all about getting in the playoffs and getting hot at the right time. Oddsmakers currently have the Phillies with about third best chance to win it all (DK actually shows 2nd), with an implied probability of about 11-13%. Dodgers are 1st at ~25%.
