In 2009 Chase Utley made a huge throwing error in L.A. in game 2 of the NLCS and we lost a game in which Pedro Martinez started by 1 run as a result. Pedro pitched great but we still lost the game. The series was tied 1-1 instead of us being up 2-0. We ended up winning the series anyway. Chase Utley was tough. He was focused. And he didn't quit or cry. Be more like Chase Utley folks. That is all.

So 7:30 start and radar appears to be clear from about then until 1 AM. Should be safe for a full game (or at the very least a full start from Wheeler and Wright, which is only fair).
That was my biggest concern. I know we have the (on paper) pitching advantage today but it's not fair to either team if the game gets delayed in the 2nd inning and both pitchers have to exit.

Didn't even frame it back over the plate, it was still a ball. Can't make that call in the playoffs, bad form.

Rhys is so fucking bad he refuses to put his body in front of ground balls. It’s always the side bullshit. He is terrible. It’s been years and he’s still terrible. Get a new 1B this offseason

This should be 0-0 but our first baseman can't field a simple ground ball

Also Sosa should be an every day player in this series. Stott looks lost

This whole game can be summarized by 4 things:
- Staring at 2-0 meatballs
- Meekly hitting first pitches and giving away easy outs and not working the count. Outside of one hard hit out from Harper I feel like we had about 7 1-pitch at bats
- Rhys' terrible defense
- The inability of any Phillies to hit a fastball. Thompson needs to put some heavier doughnuts on the bats during BP cause everyone is late and the Braves weren't throwing anything that hard.
