[Patchmk88]

If he ends the inning you can take him out after the inning but if he starts the next inning he has to face enough batters to get to three total.

had 'em all the way

[BostonRoss]

Say it, East Fallowfield!

[zambonir]

haha sorry

[zambonir]

seriously, how impressive that it went exactly to the #9 hitter to keep their studs from coming up again.

[VoteForKalas]

Thank God for Suarez, Turner, Casty and Strahm. They saved us all tonight.

FINAL: Phillies 3, Braves 1

Atlanta, the best regular-season team in baseball, is done, bushwhacked by Philadelphia for the second consecutive year.

Next up: Arizona at Philadelphia on Monday.

The combined 354 wins is the fewest ever for the final four teams in the playoffs.

Thomson knew what he was doing, forcing Rosario to face a lefty.

[zambonir]

Listen it may not have been pretty but all those other relievers entered a 3-1 game and left a 3-1 game. If Kimbrel had pitched that way in the 9th, I can' t even imagine....

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I ride with Philly Rob!

[LoneStarPhan]

Thomson is a genius. When you win, you did something right.

In spite of what seemed like walk after walk, they only walked 4 and held the Braves to 5 hits. It wasn't pretty at times, but the bullpen did not allow the Braves to score. However, I hope we do not see another 3 walk inning this post season.

Strahm looked good coming in with runners on and getting the 3 needed outs. Well done. Earned the save. Suarez gets a post season win.

A super series win over the Braves. Many heroes but really contributions toward the series win from many players. A real team victory.

[el-pietro]

That was not comfortable at all! I have to get up for work in a few hours, I dont think my heart rate is gonna drop in time for me to get any sleep.

[bkox]

The fewest runs the Braves scored in ANY 4-game span during the entire regular season season was 9.

The Phillies held them to 8 runs in their 4-game NLDS victory.

[el-pietro]

Same. But I will still question some of his decisions. I would love to know what he was thinking going back to Soto there. Made for great televison for neutrals I'm sure!
