Absolutely correct.

THANK YOU for writing this.

This was a series that was decided by a handful of moments, argues Inquirer columnist David Murphy, all or any one of which could have easily broken in a different direction. The Phillies lost too many of those moments. Kerkering’s was simply the last. (1/3)

‪That was just sheer panic. He had plenty of time to throw to first.‬

Time to get their bullpen, boys.

Tim Kelly @timkellysports.bsky.social · 17h

Tyler Glasnow is done after six innings. He limited the Phillies to just two hits. He did walk three, but struck out eight. Phillies will try their luck against Emmet Sheehan.

But! I’m glad he pulled up to keep the ball in front of him instead of trying to dive and giving the Dodgers extra bases and some momentum.

Marsh is also borderline gold glove caliber defensively in LF. Even though he’s pretty quick, he just doesn’t get a good read on the ball when he’s in CF.

On that ball that was between him and Trea, he probably would have caught it if he didn’t stutter step off the bat.

Shouldn’t even give the ump an opportunity to screw you over like that.

LancCo Rob (Give Me Whimsy, Damnit Edition) @lanccorob.bsky.social · 1d

But also…an MLB player shouldn’t put themselves in that position, especially in the postseason.

It ended up not mattering, but we can still talk about it. The timer violation on Brandon Marsh with two outs and bases loaded after an intentional walk in fifth inning was insane. “There should be a little bit of feel there.”

Ohtani must have placed a bet on hitting under the Mendoza line in the series because bröther has not had a single competitive PA that I can think of off the top of my head

They tried to take a “hall of fame” starter and convert him to a reliever. I guess the “conversion therapy” didn’t work on that sick freak!!

The results weren’t there for Tai tonight (or most of last season), but I will always respect and admire him.

Kershaw grew up in one of the wealthiest & whitest places in the country, & decided to use his incredible fame to make sure a huge % of the population knows he hates them.

Taijuan & his family lived in a van, & he uses his platform, time & money to make people feel special & welcomed.

Taijuan Walker is 100x the man of Kershaw, btw.
