Beating Philadelphia is ______
A. Harder than Philadelphians say it is
B. Easier than Philadelphians say it is
C. Neither easier nor harder than Philadelphians say it is
D. Toothbrush
The Phils have won 4 of their last 5 series, including two 4 game series wins.
The one loss? The fucking Pirates, because that makes sense.
BIRDMAN IS GOOD
BIRDMAN IS WISE
I fell asleep during the game, why did Harper come out…?
https://i.redd.it/0fc0q4vx0ehb1.gif
I’ll never get tired of a Trea post game interview
I’m having fun
✓7P
I’m resisting the urge to book a flight to Philadelphia for the postseason.
The team looked like what it was built to look like in all 4 games of the series. Breath of fresh air.
.500 in may we could be contending for the division right now
Props to the team for showing up to work hungover AF but still managing to be productive in the final 3rd of their shift. We’ve all been there…
I respect trea for being honest about how he felt bouncing all around the lineup this series
if literally every player in the braves lineup aside from Riley wasn’t having a career year and the phillies were healthy in the early months they probably would be in a tight division race.
Phillies win🥰

From where we started in April and May and now being 12 games over 500 with good vibes is amazing to see.
NEVER LISTEN TO THE DOOMERS, RING THE BELL BOYS!
Meanwhile Clemens was going off with the Iron Pigs tonight O.o
LET’S GO PHILS!!
I’m fully convinced that we’d be neck and neck with the Braves if Rhys was healthy and Wheeler didn’t have a slow start
Mick Abel tonight
5IP, 3H, 4R, 4BB, and 9SO
Good strike outs but awful walks.
Griff McGarry also struggled in his first AAA start.
Love how we gave nola zero run support and then as soon as he went out we exploded
So my mind is going…does Dykstra make an appearance this weekend??
Did they really just say bussin
Hopefully Bryce is ok.
I’m not worried about making the playoffs at this point. Phils are so much better than any teams behind
🐙
This was the epitome of “They don’t all have to be pretty”. A nobletiger, a potential backbreaking error, and a shaky 8th, and still won with breathing room.
One bitter Meneses never getting the call to the big club as an Iron Pig from a sweep of Walgreens.
Now 1.5 games between WC1 and WC2.
Division is more daunting. Holding out hope that the Barves have peaked?
Prior to the ovation, who could see Trea Turner as busting the floodgates open to a Phillie W?
Give me the Mets!
Is Sosa okay? Idk why he wasn’t put in over Castro
Twins next? Imagine having 60 wins and not being 13.5 games out of first in the division….

Well it was 1-0 when both pitchers came out so close enough
Freddie is amazing
My only complaint from tonight are those damn eagles chants😌
honestly I don’t even care if we pass the braves. just beat them when we play them and i’ll be fully confident for october. I wouldn’t mind a repeat of last year when we had games 3 and 4 at home.
