Official 2023 Playoff Thread

The Phillies worry me. They know our pitching and have been hitting us, Wheeler and Nola are both tough, good bullpen…I’d like Miami to upset them, but they’re without Alcantara and Eury Perez, so I think they’ll go down hard.

Wheeler is the only SP out of the playoff field who really concerns me. Although we roughed him up in a recent start, he seems to own us. And having to face him twice in a short series would not be fun. The Phillies are essentially built for the playoffs. They could easily flame out, but they certainly have the potential to go on a run like they did last year.

It may be nothing, but the Braves activated McHugh from the 15-day injured list yesterday. No word on whether he will be on the roster, of course.

McEww is toast

Here is a drone view of my new deck. My handy man really got this going for me.

Should’ve trimmed the bushes first. It makes the deck look bigger

eh.. I keep seeing a lot of ads about extending my deck but no one has really complained about it being too small..

Going into the playoffs the overdog is scary as hell.

No Lorenzen on the Phillies roster.

I was told AA made a mistake, though.

Good for the goose isn't always good for the gander.. you can't assume all things equal if things are different. no one knows how he would have been used or pitched in ATL.

Damn, ESPN's top-40 players in the playoffs list has Ronnie at No. 1, Fried No. 3, Olson No. 4, Strider No. 6, Riley No. 7, Albies No. 12, Murphy No. 17, Harris No. 21, Ozuna No. 24 and Elder No. 29. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/st...itter-ESPN-Static_image-Article-40ranktwitter

The Phillies’ fans comments on Strider’s no fans joke is absolute gold. It makes me want to face them in the NLDS.

Why are the Rays wearing their throwbacks in the playoffs? They deserve to lose.

As much as I roll my eyes at criticisms that AA failed to add a starting pitching, I do think missing out on Jordan Montgomery could end up biting us in the butt.

I mean they're better uniforms.

While I don't disagree, I'm not sure the Braves even had the pieces to land him. The Rangers gave up two pretty decent prospects, one is a 50 FV on Fangraphs.

Rangers with poor hitting but Ray's with worse defense.
