phillies in 6

Sorry Dbacks it was a good run but Phillies in 6. Kelly and Gallen will win a game each. But this whole run is house money for Arizona so they should be thrilled regardless of the outcome.

 

[GKJ]

My high school reunion is the night of game 5, so haven’t decided how I want that all to go down yet.

 

[LightningStorm]

Want Arizona's run to continue, but Philly in 5.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Fightin's in 6

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Arizona will have to put the ball in play, pressure the Phillies defensively with their speed athletic style. Gallen and Kelly have to win their starts.

That's their formula.

I don't see it happening. Phillies in 5.

 

[Voight]

D-Backs in 6... love me a cinderella story.

 

[AKL]

Hoping we can ride this underdog/cinderella thing all the way to the end, but regardless, this team was never supposed to be playing in the NLCS this season, and it's been a fun ride. I hope it's the Dbacks, but I'll be cheering for whoever wins this series to win the entire thing.

Phillies have a gigantic advantage in starting pitching after the top 2. The test for Arizona will be can they beat Wheeler or Nola at CBP. They can't go back to Arizona down 2-0. Even at 1-1, I like the Phillies chances to win the series. I'm may be overconfident that Suarez will throw a gem in game 3. But that's just what he does, he becomes a 5 inning Sandy Koufax in the playoffs. Game 4 will be a bullpen game for both teams, me thinks. I give the edge to the Phils in that type of game though. Thinking Phils in 5.

 

[Z-Diddy]

Although not indicative of the scores against the Braves, the Phillies bullpen looked shaky at times, if Arizona can continue to chip away late game with small ball, not give up multi dinger games, it could be closer than I imagine. Hope its not as boring as game 1 in the ALCS. PHI in 6.

 

[GKJ]

First pitch dinger

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

And another one!

 

[GKJ]

Holy shit 5 pitches 2 dingers

 

[AKL]

oOF

It's okay, they're not called the Answerbacks for no reason

 

[GKJ]

Arizona may have better defense, and they do, but they don’t matter much of the Phillies keep hitting the ball over the fence

 

[GKJ]

ANOTHER DINGER

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The only good thing for ARZ is these are all solo shots.

 

[AKL]

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Wheeler rolling.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Harper is completely locked in. This is Bonds in the 2002 WS-esque.

 

[GKJ]

Gallen is getting lit up on his fastballs.

 

[GKJ]

Phillies leaving too many on base again.

 

[Halladay]

Phillies cant blow this open...

 

[Snotbubbles]

At this point, they should just intentional walk Harper every at bat.
