2022 MLB Season

[Cowtown]

Say what you want about the NL series; the home crowds and uniforms have been top notch.

Especially given that neither uniform is LA or Atlanta.

Padres/Phillies has been great tonight. Great playoff baseball in general with this series.
And just like that Phils take the lead 7-6 from down 4
Bottom 5

I love me some Bryce Harper.

Lucky bounce on the Castellanos grounder, but I'll take it!

Schwarber just hit one to outer space!
Over the centerfield wall. 9-6 Phils

Another bomb for Schwarber. Not like his nuke in Game 1, but still prodigious

He's as focused and dangerous as he can get right now.
Baseball and timing can make magical moments.

I have a hard time understanding how THIS Phillies team is up 2-1 in the NLCS.

It's like one of the oldest cliches in baseball. It's the team that gets hot at the end of the season.

Make that 3-1.

Bryce has been worth every damn penny.

No doubt, Harper is the stud of the playoffs so far. In a season that was dominated by pitching it would really be something if the Phils slugged their way to the Championship.

Rhys is on fire!!!

They had better finish the bottom of the 7th before a rain delay is called

BRYCE HARPER EATS PRESSURE FOR BREAKFAST

I can't believe that bunt with one out in the 9th. Thank you for the free out. There will be a lot of second-guessing of the Pads manager.

However, I'm obviously thrilled. But, honestly, I figured these Phils were one and done in the playoffs.

Harper has now more than justified every penny the Phillies paid for him.

What a thrill-ride!

I like Dusty Baker, but it'll be a long time before I stop hating the Astros. Go Phils.

It was weird - I just KNEW that Harper would make something happen in that AB

This season pitching has dominated hitting. The Yanks had great pitching up to the All-Star break but then it went to mediocre.

I suspect not many here care about the WS matchup. The interesting thing being this is the classic pitching v hitting matchup. Harper missed over a third of the season. So, I am sure Philly would have enjoyed a bigger run scoring difference with Houston than it did. (10 runs on the season}

Houston in 5
