Went to the game yesterday. Could not believe how early everyone got there, and were tailgating. Looked like an Eagles pre game.

Still felt like a playoff vibe at the park. Place was packed and you didn't take too much notice unless you were getting food.

We were out in Ashburn alley and by the ninth, we decided to mosey toward our exit. When Castelanos walked we stopped and watched. We were near left field foul pole by then. Place went nuts when Stott won it.

Other than the ninth though Phils couldn't do anything. Was a lot of fun though, and we all got a free t shirt.

Don't tell me that banning the shift doesn't affect BAs, hits and runs.

Last year, Stott's grounder between 1st and 2nd is an out. It likely moves the runner to 3rd but it would have required another ball put into play to score the game winner.

Hell, Bohm's line up the middle is probably taken in an overshift with the 2B behind the bag.
