GDT 10/12/23 Atlanta Braves (Strider) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Suárez, R)

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

Like I said last night, the Phillies won game 3 by the same margin as they won game 3 in the 2020 to NLDS.

He was saving Hoffman in case it didn't work and the top of the order came up again. It was risky for sure!

Good news for Atlanta: everything they say will be off the record until next February

So many eerie similarities to last year. Won game 1 with Ranger, lost game 2 with Wheeler. Big three run homer in the third inning of game 3. Scored 6 runs in that same inning both times.
Its bizarre Clearly with the writers strike they just copied and pasted the script from last year,

Phillies bullpen. 14.2 IP 2ER (we wont talk about the walks)

I expected a hard fought series and it was. I had Phils in 4. Glad we came up top. This team has so much heart. I love them!

[dicemen99]

Don't forget Rojas when you are listing guys we don't win this game without.

[el-pietro]

That catch in CF was a game saver. Hes a stud, even if he never gets on base again.

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

Was it ~11?

[zambonir]

They're all studs (so said Thomson just now)

[el-pietro]

Back to back NLCS appearances.Thats gotta be rare given how few times they've made the playoffs. 5th time I've seem them reach this far since I started following in 2006. I realise how lucky I've been.

the Phillies have outhomered opponents by 32 HR in the postseason at Citizens Bank Park

that currently stands as the best HR differential in the postseason for any team in any park

the Phillies are the 1st team to defeat the same opponent in multiple postseason series where they had at least 10 fewer regular-season wins than that opp

let alone doing so in CONSECUTIVE SEASONS, as they have

2023 NLDS PHI (-14) def ATL
2022 NLDS PHI (-14) def ATL https://t.co/bP3SJsGN9v

Do we have an updated W-L record at CBP?

Do we have an updated W-L record at CBP?

26-11 .702 winning percentage all time in post season games at CBP

[el-pietro]

Improbable!

Just got my heartbeat back. What a game.

[rpmcmurphy]

Now the Atlanta fans can savor their participation trophy for having the most regular season wins, when they’re not complaining about the playoff seeding, or fretting about their #2 pitcher with an owie on his finger. Soft.

[bkox]

They’re spraying Bryce Harper with beer and yelling, “Atta boy, Harper!”
