The Phillies wrecked our offense with bullpen games in 2022 and 2023. I don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about this.

Can’t wait until this house of cards we call starting pitching outside of Chris Sale inevitably falls down.

The Phils were playing poorly in 2022 AND 2023 entering the playoffs. They nearly blew a Wild Card spot in 2022.

Sound familiar?

You have to give the nod to the Phils until Braves prove they can finally get over the hump again.

yup

we have completely shite the bed our last 3 playoffs appearances. could not even win a series. got our asses totally kicked

22-phillies divisional
23-phillies divisional
24-padres wild card
25- no playoffs


here we are again division winners. hope we do not choke like so many other division winners we have had the last 26 years.

show me! team better have some revenge on minds and have some urgency.

hitters better show up and we need good pitching starts every game.

We desperately need early runs tomorrow. This team will tighten up like a nun's snatch if they're down 2-0 in the 5th inning. We will either win in two or not win at all.

The Braves have not won an elimination game since Game 3 of the 2018 NLDS. They haven't won a series when they faced elimination at any point since the 1996 NLCS.

I don't have much hope for us beyond this series. This team isn't built correctly for postseason success.

But I do think we handle Philly this week fairly comfortably before bowing out to LA in 4.

This isn't the same Philly team as 22 and 23. They are old, they are dysfunctional, they have an awful pen and their one strength (their rotation) isn't set up properly... also Don Mattingly is their manager.

They are cooked. We kinda are too, but Philly is burnt crispy.

I schedule a work trip in the area around game 3 and have a ticket, so I'm selfishly hoping we get there

It really helps not seeing Wheeler this series but I think the lack of offense will catch up to us unfortunately. I don't have a good feeling at all.

Good, maybe another embarrassment against the Phillies will cause the front office to pull their head out of their arse

Wheeler says he’s good to go for a game three. But let’s win the first two.

This will all make it sting that much worse when we lose to them or have to burn a starter to win a must-win game 3

Also, this is kinda crazy. Is the MLB trolling both teams?

Braves are offering tix for $40. 2:15 first pitch on a Tuesday is not conducive to a home field advantage.

So the crew chief isn’t working the plate at all?
