Grease the Poles. How the Phillies Will Win Game 7 Tonight
The Phillies will win game 7 tonight. Is this wishful thinking? Yes and no. It’s a mantra that we all should have today. An affirmation. We’re going to will it into existence! Grease the f*cking poles! The Phillies will win game 7 tonight. Starting pitcher Ranger Suarez is a bad man. It’s as if he has no heartbeat on the mound in big games. The guy just goes out and shuts down the other team. Ranger will carry the weight of an entire city onto the World Series.
It would be nice if the Phillies hitters could help him out a little bit. Arizona has the rookie Brandon Pfaadt throwing again. He completely made them look foolish in game 3, but this is a game 7 at Citizens Bank Park! A madhouse. Also, the key to the Phillies success tonight will be jumping on Arizona early. Tonight is the perfect time for a Kyle Schwarber ambush home run. If he throws a ‘get me over fastball’ Schwarber needs to deposit that in the 3rd deck. Trea Turner struggled last night, expect him to be better. Bryce Harper isn’t getting anything to hit because Alec Bohm is having a disaster of a series at the plate. There is zero incentive for Arizona pitching to throw anything to Harper. Some moves could help that situation.
Rob Thompson needs to drop Bohm down in the lineup. Put Realmuto in the 4-hole because he’s hitting the ball well. Follow him with Bryson Stott and Nick Castellanos. Put Bohm in the 7. After those moves the Phillies still have the left, right, flip they’ve been going for most of the series. They need to give Harper some protection so he can do what he does best in mega-huge moments. Like Game 6 in last year’s NLCS causing Scott Franzke’s “bedlam at the bank” call. Of course, we like to crush national announcers, but Fox’s Joe Davis had a fantastic call on Bryce’s go-ahead home run to send the Phillies to the World Series.
