Phillies' 2023 NL Playoffs NLDS Game #4: 10/12/23 Braves(1-2) @ Phillies(2-1) - 8:07pm

[Captain Obvious]

For the NLCS - have to move Castellanos to 4

Who starts game 4, Walker or Sanchez (with short leashes)?

If it ain't broke...

Maybe...maybe... move Bohm and Harper around

Plenty of time to consider that. The "con" is that it creates a potential desert at the bottom of the lineup. I kind of like that Castellanos down there makes the lineup dangerous throughout

[BelmontShore]

Beat Strider twice in 4 games.

Agreed - but my worry is that Bryce will get nothing to hit unless Bohm starts hitting

On another note

Braves averaged close to 6 runs per game in the regular season. 2 in this series. Great job by the starting pitching

The Braves hit 307 homers in the regular season but only 3 in the NLDS.

A truly awesome performance by the Phillies’ pitching staff against a historic offense. The Braves hit .186.

Strahm was a signing I don't think that any of us were excited about. Him getting the biggest save so far this season was not something any of us could have expected

All those pissing losses from the season are now cleansed

[Christopher]

Things I can say now:

1. While the 48 hours leading up to the game would have been AWFUL, I have real confidence that Wheeler would have beaten Fried in Game 5. Phillies would have been into the Atlanta bullpen by the third.

2. The Phillies are the better team, but the Braves had some misfortune that you never like to see with what happened to Fried and Morton in the final two weeks. Series goes 5 games if they're healthy.

3. Arcia is an idiot

4. Snitker is a bigger idiot. Made some of the dumbest moves & non-moves I've ever seen in a series.

5. Eff Blooper

6. Hella impressed with what Strider did in this series. Let's sign him some day.

Ronald Acuña Jr. becomes the first player ever in Major League Baseball history to hit 40 home runs and steal 70 bases in a single season without winning a playoff series.

wow

There have been a lot of amazing Phillies performances the past two years, but what Ranger Suarez has given them is right up there with anything.

23.1 innings
13 hits
3 earned runs
1.15 ERA
