Yeah.. I know we get the winner of the Cubs/Fish series...
I just wish it was the winner of the Pads/Cards instead.
I expect the Fish to beat the Cubs and despite the last series, they worry me a bit.

Bah I’m not scared of any team we beat 29-9.
lol.....
But there is something about that team, they definitely did a heck of a lot better than they should have this year with what all they went through. I’d rather play the Cubs but I have a feeling it’s going to be the Marlins.
Either way I would expect us to win.

Tatis may just be having fun, which is what the media likes to say, but that show after the 2nd homer last night just might get him one in the ear. That one was pretty bad. Just for the record, I'm fine with that kind of stuff, but there is still a line there, and I think he may have crossed it. Ozuna was awfully close yesterday, but at least the taking a selfie thing was original. I'm more of a fist-pump kinda guy than a bat flinger myself.

The announcers in the Cubs/Fish game are talking about how terrible the Cubs have been all season at getting runners in when they have bases loaded or 2nd and 3rd...
I thought I had been assured that it was only the Braves that had that issue...

Cubs appear pretty inept on offense. They would have been a better draw than the marlins, but there is at least familiarity with the marlins.
That said, they could still be a handful if they indeed do advance. They aren't the marlins the braves beat 15 of 19 times last year. Formiddable pitching staff with at least a functional offense. For sure they are better than the Reds.

Willson Contreras is the douche that I would not have on my team. Baez Is right there too.
Kris Bryant is a shell of his former self, glad we didn’t trade a bunch of guys for him and give him a mega contract like a lot of people wanted to do.

Stupid Fish...
They have never been considered a great franchise overall but they have made the playoffs 3 times and never lost a post-season series.

With the Braves and Marlins winning their Wild Card series and advancing, every other team in the NL East has won a postseason series since the Phillies last appeared in the playoffs in 2011.
Have to go back to 2010 for the Phillies’ last postseason series win.

I said it about 60 times in game 1, and about 950 times throughout the regular season.

I think other teams, on average, hit about .450 with RISP. I guess that's why the Braves are only second in the league in runs scored.
