The Phillies need to blow it up . Too many streaky guys that just don't hit consistently, especially in the playoffs. And really most guys are avg or worse offensively. Only Harper & Schwarber are above avg offensive players and they are streaky. They wasted a great starting staff, with a piss poor offense and a weak at best bullpen.Well there you have it. Atlanta vs the Dodgers.
The Yankees scored 1 run or less 28 times. They were shutout 8 times and went 2-18 when scoring 1 run.The Phillies need to blow it up .

They scored 1 run or less 36 times, that includes 12 shutouts. Yikes.
By comparison the Dodgers scored 1 run or less 18 times and were shutout 3 times.
Funny thing is, word is Dombroski wants to bring Cora to Philly next yearThe Yankees scored 1 run or less 28 times. They were shutout 8 times and went 2-18 when scoring 1 run.
What I find interesting is the Phillies and Red Sox both fired their managers early on and made the playoffs.
Boston (Cora 10-17; Tracey 77-58)
Philly (Thompson 9-19; Mattingley 79-55)
I wonder if that has ever happened like that (twice)?
I can remember Martin getting fired and Lemon taking over in 1978. Martin (52-42), Howser (0-1), Lemon (48-20)
Yeah, I heard that when they let Thompson go. The piece I heard was they tried to hire Cora and then that Mattingley was there for this year and they were going after Cora for 2027.Funny thing is, word is Dombroski wants to bring Cora to Philly next year
The Padres at least put it off another day. I'm hoping the Yankees watched that game!!!Another close one in Milwaukee. Typical playoff game. Not much hitting. 5 combined hits in 6 innings. Not sure who I want to win. SD has been the hottest team down the stretch. But being a rival I don't usually pull for them. Brewers have 3 errors in this game.
