Well if you told me I would spend a 75 degree evening watching the Phillies bullpen blow a game, I would expect it to be a fine way to spend a night in May, but we’re doing this in NOVEMBER? Thats right, the Phillies brought us full circle with a vintage choke job to turn a one run lead into a 4-1 loss handing the World Series Championship to the Houston Astros as the Phillies drop another winnable game. The losingest franchise in the history of mankind may not have piled up the MOST losses in 2022, but they did manage to earn the last loss of 2022. One more sad trombone before we go.

In this Episode:

• Wheeler rested and ready
• Yordan’s Joe Carter moment

Wednesday night the Phillies couldn’t get a hit and Thursday they simply failed to get the big hit. It all adds up to two straight losses in the final two games at Citizens Bank Park and a 3-2 World Series deficit. We’ll hit the Sad Trombone for a rough couple of nights down in South Philly, BUT I am still confident it’s gonna be the last one we hit all year… Whom Whomp Whomp!

We had to wait an extra 24 hours but a home run derby broke out at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday night, the Phillies blasted a world series record five home runs with Bryce Harper setting the place on first in the first. Ranger was solid and the Phillies cruised to a 7-0 shutout of the Astros to take Game 3 of the series and grab a 2-1 lead overall. Let’s Ring The Bell!

Zack Wheeler brought it on the mound Wednesday in a rain-delayed Game 2, but the offense was no where to be found and a critical miss in the field by first basemen Rhys Hoskins cost the Phillies three runs and the game, as Atlanta evened the NLDS at 1 win a piece.
