I would have setup the rotation with Nola in game 1 and Wheeler in game 2. Your best pitcher either wins the series if you won the first game or keeps you alive if you lost the first game.

I’m excited to see Harper be the MV3 and trust that Castellanos and Turner will have big series along with Bohm and Stott. Give us a Schwarbomb or two and a sprinkle of the BCIB. Phils cruise.

12 pitchers for a three game series?
I would have gone with 11,dropping Seranthony and using Lorenzen as an outfielder.

If Topper wants to gamble,he pitches Walker tomorrow.
A win,and both Nola and Wheeler can start twice in a 5 game series.
A loss leaves Nola for Game 3 here and still allows for a start in the 5 gamer.
The idea is to give yourself the best chance to beat the Braves

Nola and the Phillies on the good side of getting generous calls from the ump

The ump has been bad but consistent all game. It was clear by the 2nd inning that each pitcher had a full ball below the low line of the K zone for strikes. Almost as much on the inside part of the plate for righties (outside for lefties). Isn’t just Nola getting those calls

I was joking along the lines of things are finally going our way. Easy to see the ump missing calls all over the place.

A friend of mine went Tuesday night and said it was just a wild atmosphere in the stadium. And in a good way.

MLB is not blacking out WIP for out of market listeners in the post season,so I'm able to listen to Scott and LA,muting the TV sound.
LA is the best! I've met him a few times over the years. He is a real funny guy in person as well. Conshohocken Brewery made a beer named Franzke and LA. A fundraiser brew in their Philly Sports announcers series this past spring. I was at the release party. What a great time. An Uber event lol!

Walker must be the designated long man for extra innings.
No runner on second in the post season.

Great game 1. Kimbrel with a 1-2-3? Lol. All the off days and rest are great. D-Backs teeing off on Kershaw! Phils are going back to WS.
