Phillies Undefeated in the Playoffs!

Episode Summary

The Phillies are back in the playoffs with a stellar 3-0 start! With Wheeler and Nola scheduled to pitch next, the Phillies could not have asked for a better start to the playoffs!

Episode Notes

• The 3-0 Phillies are making a huge splash after the 11-year playoff hiatus, sweeping the Cardinals on the road and holding on for an amazing win against the Braves in game 1. With Wheeler and Nola scheduled to pitch next, the Phillies are in control. But, will the struggles at the top of the lineup (Schwarber 0-12, Hoskins 1-14, Realmuto 2-11) change the tide or will the Phils continue to find ways to win? 
• In the American League, the Astros completed an amazing comeback to beat the Mariners in game 1, but did you know Mariners coach Scott Servais made perhaps the worst possible move by removing closer Paul Sewald for starter Robbie Ray in the 9th inning? We present 7 facts that will show you that Robbie Ray may have been the worst pitcher on the planet to bring in against the Astros in that situation.
