The #Phillies survived 162 games to get here. Chris Sale could make their October stay a short one.

Game 1 hinges on more than whether the bats wake up.

#Phillies Announce Wild Card Series Roster With No Real Shockers

(This was scheduled mid-September so hopefully the Phillies actually made it into the Wild Card, making this post relevant)

My first major attempt at trying animation in Procreate. Got the idea from a pal to make the Phillie Phanatic as Birdo.

9/29/1987: Phillies beat Mets 3-0 at the Vet.

Don Carman delivers a three-hit shutout. The win dub deals a massive blow to the Mets. The Cards swept the Expos in a doubleheader and extend their lead to 4 games in the NL East.

PHI is 79-79

#Phillies

Arraez is because of injury. I guess the #phillies planned that?

Here is the #Phillies' Wild Card roster.

They do not have Brooks Raley on their Wild Card roster. All three players they acquired at the trade deadline (Luis Arraez, Caleb Kilian, Raley) are off.

The #Phillies Wild Card Roster:

#Phillies are taking three catchers on their wild card roster, with Marchan joining Realmuto and Stubbs. Jonathan Bowlan is back.

Rally bus isn’t showing up to the rally for Red October. This better not be a metaphor for anything #phillies #redoctober
