They always choke in the playoffs. This was a done deal last night. They don’t play small ball at all. Every one of them I watched hit was trying to hit it out of the park. Not how you win in playoffs. What a great season to get tossed again. Starting pitching isn’t playoff material either. Lots of holes covered up by the offense during regular season

Had fun why? You think the shortstops mouth has anything to do with the pitches that were thrown to the batter? Bryce Harper is a beast. Period.

Yep. Anyone that paid attention the last month knew we couldn’t beat the Phils, especially once Uncle Charlie went down.

Good pitching beats good hitting in October. And we had neither.

Yeah if they could only play small ball as well as the Phillies tonight.

This isn’t 1976, man.

Exactly. But the offense what the bed. Had hopes, but they should’ve swept us to be honest. Harris saved that 2nd game, as you know

But we don’t need small ball, we need some dawgs on the team. Philly is full of loud-mouth shite talkers that play with their heart on their sleeve. We’ve got a bunch of softass guys that look like they’re playing a Sunday afternoon round of golf at the country club. Zero leadership or fight.

I do not disagree. A guy like Josh Donaldson. Acuna can’t even speak English, he’s fiery though., but I bet it sounds like Spanish to a whole lot of people who don’t speak spanish

The Phillies won because they kept the Braves, most homeruns in MLB, from hitting homeruns, and also getting on base

They executed, the Braves didn’t. Bottom line.

The team that hit more HRs won every game this series and they win about 85% of postseason games in the past 10 years. And you’re calling me an idiot when you’re talking about small ball. what in the world?

This is the correct answer. They were scared and intimidated.

I thought Acuna got that last pitch in the 7th from Kimbrel..he guessed right just out front of it a bit..

Philly was hot at the right time.

Braves will be back, they’re young - bring in that professional vet ala Brantley in HOU etc. to tie it all together..

How much would a Kershaw or Scherzer cost?
