Post-Season Thread

So not watching but I see both teams used high leverage pitchers when there was high leverage. Meanwhile Twit pooped his pants but doesn’t know it yet

See the faillies lost on error. That is very nice.
Not just any error. Perhaps the most bone headed play in the history of the game given the circumstances. Worse than Buckner. Worse than Merkle’s Boner. Perhaps worse than Lonnie Smith.

Phillies for all the bluster have had some really bad playoff losses during this contention window.

Going to watch some 2021 Braves postseason highlights and soak in the schadenfreude
 
JT Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber are free agents. Bryce Harper I think is 33. Have to wonder about Zack Wheeler going forward. Aaron Nola wasn’t that good this season.

Perhaps some levels of concern in Philly

People really love to felate that team when they haven’t won anything and have choked epically in the playoffs two of the last three years. Blowing that 2-0 and 3-2 lead against the 84 win D’Backs in the NLCS is worse than anything the Braves have ever done in this run.

I think the offense almost literally not showing up the in 2022 and 2023 is just as bad as anything I’ve seen.

I keep seeing this revisionist history. In 2022 it wasn’t the offense. They averaged 3.25 runs per game in that series, which is about what you’d expect in the playoffs. The pitching allowed 6 runs a game. They had no shot.

Now 2023? Yes, the offense absolutely shit the bed.
 
Nah. A good offense not showing up happens on the reg in the playoffs.

The Phillies choking to the Dbacks is on the same level as the Braves in the 96 WS.
Worse, really. Braves choked in ‘96, but they choked vs another juggernaut. The ‘23 Diamondbacks might be the worst team to ever make the World Series, including the 2006 Cardinals.

I want Schwarber on the Braves. Idk I just think he has carried that Phillies offense the last few years - but I dont think hes a good fit for the same reasons Ozuna isnt. Id like to keep DH spot open for Drake/Murphy with a lot of Acuna at DH - but if we happened to sign Schwarber i wouldnt be disappointed at all.
