Great opportunity for the Braves to win the series. Luzardo has pitched as well as anyone and the Braves have feasted on the Phillies pen. Let’s go!!!!

Kims RBI single in the 11th to tie the game last night had an exit velo of almost 107 mph making it the hardest hit ball of the year for him by a wide margin.


We absolutely own Philly. A win tonight basically all but clinches the NL East for us

The Phillies will still very likely be a wild card team though and so will we as we are unlikely to catch the dodgers. Although it would be hilarious to see them so shaken by us they enter total melt down mode and miss the playoffs completely.

Don’t forget that Harper got caught trying to get to third from second on a ground out. Phillies have had horrible base running this season.

Horrible baserunning and horrible defense.

It was really nice to see Baldwin get the walk off and Olson Homer last night.

Over the past 14 days Ronald has an absolutely fricking ridiculous WRC+ of 220.

Imo if we are going to make a run in the postseason we need 2 out of Baldwin Olson and Harris to catch fire with him.

Watching in real time, last night felt like the dagger for the division. It wasn't, but it seemed that way.

It’ll be disappointing if the Braves aren’t able to take 2 of 3 this weekend. It appears the Phillies will have to go with a bullpen game today, which makes a day game tomorrow that much harder for them. The Braves will likely be a bit short in the pen tonight.

I saw a video angle of Kim scoring last night and Ronald on the ground in front telling him to get down and when Kim scored he left Ronald left him hanging and ran to Drake.

I found that very funny for some reason.

Ronald dissing Kim

The division race was pretty much decided in May when the Braves jumped out to the best record in baseball and the Phillies had one of the worst.

Yeah, it's gotten a little too close, but I've never been worried about the division.

Still very much worried about us having to slug our way through a 3-game wild card series.

The Braves would host the three game series and they can run this guy and Sale out there.

Mahle will be our game two starter. He is much more of a strikeout pitcher than Perez which is very valuable in the post season

I think the decision between Holmes and Perez for who is game three starter is dependent on who we are playing against

Homie, have you not seen our offense in the majority of Sale games this year?

The fact that those are the two you have to decide for a postseason #3 is insane.

They have both been absolutely nails for the last 7 or 8 starts each, especially Holmes.

I think Perez has only had one blow up start in that timeframe.

I agree with you though I don’t trust either of them at all in a post season start. Perez is way too reliant on inducing soft contact and rarely has a reliable put away strike out pitch unless it’s a night where his Changeup is electric.

Holmes has better stuff and the potential to put up 8 or 9ks but he also has historically really struggled bigly each consecutive time through the order and is just as liable to walk 4 or 5 guys as he is to have 8 or 9ks

Sale is usually matched against the best pitcher of the opponent. Not as easy to score against a teams best pitcher.
