Amazing that there will be a new GM (or whatever they’re calling it these days, President of Baseball Operations) and new pitching and positional coaches, yet Cora will seemingly be brought back.
I think he's w/ the org now until HE decides he doesn't want to be. Feels like whenever he decides he's ready for a FO role he'll get one here and work his way up to whatever he wants out of that side of the sport

Clearly the problem is everybody but him, now the exalted one can lead us to the promise land with all those anchors cut!

I truly don't think the manager means a whole lot these days, not over 162 anyway. I'm not gonna kill Cora for the last two years. The team stunk. With that said the bullseye will now be on him going forward. Or at least it should be.

Fried is laboring. The Phillies are sitting on his fastball knowing he's got the blister, they're daring him to throw curveball. So he either has to throw breaking stuff and aggravate his blister, which will knock him out earlier, or keep throwing fastballs and get smacked around.

Wheeler by contrast is looking like a monster through one.

Wheeler downright dominant

Phillies might be the braves daddy

This is reminiscent of those 90s braves teams that didn’t win as many WS as they should have
Phils are built for a short series. With an offense that can pop any pitch out of the park and two top pitchers, they're tough to beat in a best of 5.

Braves look like the 2023 Bruins. Fried's blister is Bergeron's undisclosed Montreal injury.

Wow!
Ending to the Braves game was Amazing.

Harper messed up.
Stop on second.

If it’s caught…he gets back.

If it’s missed, 95% chance he scores.
 

McGarnagle

Yes.

I did think the Dbacks would win this series, but didnt see them going up 2-0 in Dodger Stadium

The being good to great every year but never winning outside a COVID title has to be infuriating

The Battle of Texas would be fun

But the thought of the 84-78 Diamondbacks being in the NLCS is blah. Would rather just see the Phillies and Braves go at it for 7 games. Typical Dodgers.

Big fan of Nate. He might make me root for Texas to win it all. Can't believe Bloom let him walk and signed Kluber instead.

ALCS trip for the Rangers. My little brother’s playoff share just went up significantly…..

That’s a very streaky team, that happens to be on a heater right now.
