I didn't do one of these yesterday. I didn't wanna.
Look, I'm extremely saddened by the Rangers failing to stop the Astros. It would have been so much more satisfying if they actually kept the leverage and slayed the dragon, but that doesn't seem to be in the best interest of the MLB. Apparently they prefer it when Altuve, Alvarez and Javier do well and so that's happening. So I didn't really have anything good to say about that one. And then the Kimbrel thing happened and I didn't have anything good to say about that either.
But uh...last night was better.
Everybody for the Phillies did what they were supposed to. Zack Wheeler pitched 7 strong innings, the defensemen carried through, and Rojas and Stott impressed. Harper and Schwarber hit like crazy. When you thought the game was relatively sold, Realmuto knocked one out. The bullpen coasted, even when it looked dicey. This is exactly what we needed, and while I wish we had some of this energy in the last two games, we've got 'em exactly where we want 'em. The Diamondbacks are heading into a win-or-die scenario in CBP, pitching someone we already got runs off of. It is looking good. There's still a chance we could screw it up, but it's looking good.
Today, there's a chance the ALCS could be decided. I'd prefer if it wasn't.
