[zambonir]

Phillies legend Bethancourt. Ugh.

[EastFallowfield]

Looks like an error when the outfielder doesn't make some huge effort and it clangs off the glove.

Called strike (87.6 mph slider)
Foul (99. mph four-seam fastball)

[LoneStarPhan]

How can a ball that Marsh had lined up and it hits his glove end up as a hit. ERROR all the way. Not even that difficult a play. Clearly, that is an error.

The Philadelphia Phillies are your 2024 National League East Champions!
13 years may not be an especially long wait in the history of the Phillies but it's still a long time!

[EastFallowfield]

Seems like a perfect amount of celebrating. Not gong crazy, not acting two nonchalant.

[zambonir]

hats are hideous. shirts too. but whatever.

[bkox]

Kyle Schwarber is the 3rd Phillies player since 1920 (RBI became official) with 100 runs, 100 RBI and 100 walks in back-to-back seasons.
Bobby Abreu (2004-05)
Mike Schmidt (1976-77)

The last MLB player to do so was Jose Bautista from 2014-15.

[EastFallowfield]

The mindset that carried the Phillies to their first NL East title in 13 years

[Squire]

Congrats to most everyone on this message board

[Aquapong]

Thanks. The work I do for the team by posting on this board is clearly invaluable.

[VoteForKalas]

Woo Hoo!!!

[EastFallowfield]

[LoneStarPhan]

One title down (NL East) and two (NL, WS) to go. Why not this year to go all the way?

A review of the box score and summary confirm that the Marsh drop in the ninth inning was in fact what it clearly was, an error. It forced Estevez to throw 15 more pitches in that inning than he would have thrown had Marsh made the catch for an out.

Feels good to get this win on Monday.

[Philsmania]

I was there! Getting the early runs and the insurance runs were definitely comforting. Fun night at the Ballpark!

[Patchmk88]

Fun game. NL East champs!
