Spoken like a true Phillies fan...and I would have expected nothing less. but, the one game the Brewers were patient at the plate, they scored runs. It's not like the Phils were hitting the s* out of the ball either. Outside of yesterday, the games were very close. The actual era of the Crew was very low. They just couldn't hit (or field). Way too many strikeouts. And, we did last one more game than the Cubs!!

Ian, I'm not trying to take away from the Phillies pitchers. The stats they put up were great but....
the Brewers were cold. They didn't hit in September regardless of how good or bad the pitcher was and it carried over into this series. There is no way I'm going to buy into it was all the Phillies pitchers. Confidence and patience at the plate was missing from the Brewers and in turn that helped the Phillies pitchers. They left runners on often and didn't make timely hits, the Brewers continued to be awful at the plate.
That said I'm not trying to take away from the Phillies and their accomplishment. I can still give them credit for winning the series. They were the better team and deserved to move on. They took advantage of the Brewers mistakes and won games when their meat of the order struggled. They made timely hits while the Brewers didn't. The pitchers did get the outs when they were needed. In the end the Phillies had scoreboard.
Hopefully the Brewers can build on this like the Phillies did from their play off appearance last year and turn it into a positive.

You know, what the heck is that? Did you completely skip over the post where I gave your team and fans props? What makes you the expert on who is a "true Phillies fan" and what that would even entail? All analysis said that pitching was the story of the series, on both sides. When it comes down to it, it's basically an argument akin to glass half empty or half full. Was it hot pitchers or cold bats? I guess it just depends on the way you look at it. Some wold say a hot pitcher turns bats cold, others would say cold bats make pitchers look hot. But your snide comment was uncalled for.

We'll just agree to disagree. It's not really that big a deal and truth be told it's tough to know who's right for certain. As Maryanne said, it's like chicken or the egg.
Anyway, I didn't intend to slight the Brewers. They played well and obviously have a talented team. I agree to an extent that if a few plays turn out different it's an entirely different series.
Hopefully we'll meet again next year in the playoffs and have a rematch!

Ian,
Sorry for the confusion. I meant that as a compliment. Good luck the rest of the way!
Mike.

Typical angry Philadelphia sports fan.
Just kidding.
I grew up in a Philly suburb, and root for the Eagles, Flyers and Penn State football. Not a basketball fan.

Lol, I think people who've been around this board have come to find that I can sometimes be sensitive to the negative light that is shown on Philadelphia fans and only Philly fans. It just seems to me that people make automatic assumptions about us which is unfair. So Missy_Mouses_Dad if you truely meant what you said as a compliment I'm sorry I misinterpreted it. My radar is just very quick to go off sometimes!

No problem...I could never rip on the Phils. Mike Schmidt is my all time favorite ball player. Just finish the job.
