This series could be a preview of the NLCS. Don't count on the Dodgers playing this way though in that series if it materializes.
Phillies 2024

I was there on Tuesday night. Real feel of 103 and sold out. The weather was brutal- but you'd hardly know it- place was jumpin'.
Over the series both teams made great plays ( Rojas and Taylor last night) and both made egregious errors (Harper last night and Dodger CF in game 2).
Those are unlikely to repeat themselves. In the postseason pitching is key. The Dodgers will add back gamechangers moreso than us.
Just enjoying the ride- but as earlier poster said- don't get to high or low. The Playoffs take on a life of their own. We have been spoilers- and been spoiled (last year NLCS still hurts).
Go Phils!
Bottom of the eighth bases loaded 4-1 Phils. Ball hit in the exact worst spot for an easy double play. Those breaks will disappear. Phil's pitcher somehow I think getting Shohei, Will Smith and Freddy to strike out after Lux homer. Pages just loses a sure out which was the difference in the game. I think Rojas just overuns the base. And this off the top of my head. I'd say the Dodgers kind of blew the last couple of games of the series. Not saying they were going win both on Wednesday and Thursday but they did everything they could to lose both.
The Phillies sweep the Dodgers for the first time in a long time and you can't even enjoy it?
Sad.
Yeah that must be it. Have XM radio and listen to broadcasters for all teams. No broadcasting team whines more about balls and strikes than the Phils’ radio team except for when there are questionable calls for the other teams.
“Major League Baseball could test robot umpires as part of a challenge system in spring training next year, which could lead to regular-season use in 2026.
"I said at the owners meeting it is not likely that we would bring ABS to the big leagues without a spring training test. OK, so if it's '24 that leaves me '25 as the year to do your spring training test if we can get these issues resolved, which would make '26 a viable possibility," baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday during a meeting with the Baseball Writers' Association of America. "But is that going to be the year? I'm not going to be flat-footed on that issue.
MLB has been experimenting with the automated ball-strike system in the minor leagues since 2019 but is still working on the shape of the strike zone.”

Robot umpire system to be tested MLB next spring training, possible in 2026 regular season | Fox Sports
Major League Baseball will test robot umpires as part of challenge system in spring training next year, which could lead to regular-season use in 2026, commissioner Rob Manfred said.
Just when it appeared that the Phillies offense would be in a deep freeze for almost an entire second game vs the Twins and thereby waste a great start by Wheeler, a key double by Harper, a sac fly by Marsh, and a 2-run double by Castellanos in the 9th inning provided a 3-0 win. Whew.

'It has felt different': Phillies' rut continues with lopsided loss
But then, the Phillies lost to the lowly A’s on July 12. Something changed. They have lost nine of 13 games since that Dodgers series, including Monday night’s 14-4 loss to the Yankees at Citizens Bank Park. It got so bad that Yankees fans took over the ballpark, filling the Bank with “M-V-P!” chants for Aaron Judge in the eighth inning.

PHILADELPHIA -- Not long ago, the Phillies swept the Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park. Remember it? The Phillies not only stifled Shohei Ohtani and his teammates in the July 9-11 series, but they had Dodgers manager Dave Roberts saying afterward how Philadelphia was “clearly a better team than we are

what are Phillies fans thoughts on them trading Lane Thomas? Kid has a really good stat line and is third in the league in steals. Guardos gave up some good prospects but would probably have lost some of them due to rule 5 and limited roster protections. Guardos are stacked in the minor leagues and had the overall #1 pick this year.
Have watched a number of Washington National games (part of my cable sports package) and been impressed with him. He has a mixture of power and speed and is an excellent defensive outfielder. Hits left-handers, which is something the Guardians wanted.
Guardians gave up prospects so we won't know for a while who got the best of things, but makes sense for the Guardians making a run in 2024.
