I would play Markakis and Freddie only half of the remaining games. Start Duda at 1B and Lane Adams in RF. I would also give Kyle Wright a start and Bryse Wilson another start. And play Charlie every game at different positions to give Guys days off and keep Charlies bat in rhythm.

2018 NL East champs.

Feels good don't it?

But since we've clinched, I'm all for tanking to ensure we don't have home field for any playoff round. We do seem to play the Phillies better at home, but against everyone else, we're a far better road team for whatever reason.

 

[Chewbaccer]

In any of the last 4 years, there was no way I'd be even thinking about the Braves on a college football Saturday.

May I interest you in some champagne?

 

[Mistaken4193]

Im telling yall once we get Acuna and Gohara we gonna be good this year!!

I called it opening day....just was wrong about Gohara.

I don't know. It seems like we've been extremely hard on a team that has a real good shot of getting 90 wins. I'm already pleased with this season, but going forward, just making the playoffs won't be enough to satisfy me.

Oh this season is a success IMO, I fully expect us to lose in the NLDS, and I will be pissed during it, but after a couple of days I will be happy. But starting Next Year, NLDS aint good enough.

So the Phils are going to be SPENDING this offseason and putting together a completely new team without rebuilding. They are listening for offers on everyone but Nola and Hoskins.

1-3 vs. Dodgers
0-4 vs. Rockies
0-3 vs. Giants
3-1 vs. Padres
1-2 vs. DBacks


7-8 at home vs. NL Central
1-2 vs. Cubs
1-2 vs. Cardinals
2-1 vs. Brewers
2-1 vs. Pirates
1-2 vs. Reds

3-7 at home vs. AL East
0-3 vs. Red Sox
1-1 vs. Rays
1-1 vs. Blue Jays
1-2 vs. Orioles

15-28 at Home vs non-NL East teams.

meh, i'm not concerned. we had a young team this year that dominated their divisional opponents. should continue to improve in the future

a lot to be excited about, IMO

Yep. This team was playing with house money this year imo. It's stupid young and most expected it to be mediocre at best (at least I did) and they won the division. They're basically a year ahead of schedule.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Fuckin A.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Only thing left to figure out now is the playoff rotation.

I'm going Folty-Gausman-Julio-Anibal, though I would prefer a 3 man rotation. And I'm sorry, but Sean Newcomb doesn't make my postseason roster.

 

[gobigred]

this day would have been a pretty shit sports day for me, if it wasn't for our Atlanta Braves!

I feel the same way.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Why the fuck is everyone getting rest but Nick and Freddie?? They are the 2 that need it most. Im guessing because its the final home game and they will rest on road.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Heres my 25 for the Playoffs...

1.Acuna LF

Prepare to be pissed because I can almost guarantee Luke Jackson gets a spot and either Touki or Sobotka gets left off.
