The Phillies 1 through 3 hitters have as many hits in this third inning as in the series' first 20 combined

Harrison Bader's pregame workout looks takes a break. Rob Thomson on hand to observe. (One man's opinion: He wasn't jogging all that great). Taking ground balls now

Hitters 1 through 3:

2-for-21 with 11 Ks in the first 2 games of the series

Just try and get Stott to hit a grounder to 2nd. Maybe it gets through. Definitely it gets Nick to third

Pat Gallen @patgallen.bsky.social · 2d

I just dont get the bunt there. Like I understand it but a base hit ties it. And Casty is your slowest runner on the team.

Trea Turner vs. Roki Sasaki. Maybe for the series

The Dodgers' bullpen is a goddamn mess, and the Phillies have only forced Dave Roberts to use his problem guys (Treinen, Vesia, et al) for 1 out so far.

Criminal by the Phillies

Since the start of the 2024 postseason, the Phillies bullpen has allowed 21 earned runs in 17 innings.
It has allowed 16 of 22 inherited runners to score
Not good

Jesus Luzardo has thrown 6 shutout innings in Game 2 of the NLDS.
This is a game that the Phillies should (must) win

Well - and we do have to say this because of past events - the Phillies aren't getting no-hit in the playoffs tonight

Phillies have put 4 balls in play in 4 innings. One has reached the outfield

If the Phillies are going to win this game, it's going to be with a cobbled-together pitching.
Max 4 innings from Luzardo. You need Snell, who the Dodgers want to go longer, out in less than 5. And the offense needs to show up

Worth mentioning they gave up 26 goals in the other 32 games. 3 crucial 1-0s down the stretch

Matthew Doyle @mattdoyle.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah. Really though I meant that they won the points they were supposed to win – dominating against non-playoff teams in a way that almost nobody else in the Shield race came close to.

Beat the hell out of the teams they were supposed to. Never took the points for granted.
