Wheeler pitched 1 hit shutout ball for 7 innings. The bullpen did not pitch well and the Phllies did not hit well. Doesn't look good starting off at home and losing the first game. At least Penn State won, but even they had a harder time with UCLA than expected.

Watched some of the game highlights from yesterday, looks like way too many walks costs almost all the teams to lose that lost. You can't defend walks and they cost several teams game one.

SD needs to pitch around Ohtani, every at bat. If they can take his RBI's out of the equation they will have a much better chance going forward. Shilt hurt them that game too. No way you pull Cease that early, he's too good. But Shilt has never been very good, as seen in STL a few years back.

Yankees got a couple helpful calls from the umps too, but too many walks did in the Royals.

Phillies need to straighten up or it's going to be a short post season for a team that was #1 in MLB much of the season. The Mets just aren't that good, they shouldn't be winning in Philly.

Indians were the only ones to win decisively.

You alright NL?

LOL, the Phillies bats came alive and they gave the Mets some of their own medicine. The relief pitching is a concern, maybe a day of rest will help.

Good, timely hitting on both teams today. Walks are an issue for both teams. NL teams are looking very strong in these playoffs. Five game series makes for more urgency also.

Everyone is 1 and 1, down to the best of 3 now.

Phillies take another loss. Must win the next two. Go Phillies.

Tomorrow is another day, I hope the Phillies can extend their season.

Great job SD. Take them out tomorrow too please!

Indians having a little trouble with Detroit it seems.

Phillies need to get to scoring some runs!

Well, Mets move on. That stinks.

Go Padres!!!

No bats and the relief pitching left much to be desired.

Sucks, only thing worse than the Phillies losing is the Mets winning.

That’s what folks get for cheering for the brewers to lose. The team that beats them goes on to the World Series.

Been prospecting my rat areas the las two days. Looks grim! Phillies are out! Mets have played well the last months and are still doing so. Tigers have a good chance to make the AL final. Dodgers are beating up on the Padres right now. Have not checked up on the Yankees-Royals. Good to see that the wild card system we have brings in some very good teams.

It was worth it.

Royals lost in a nail biter. For some reason they can't throw strikes anymore.

I had the Phillies pegged to take the national league title,,,,, good thing I didn’t have any bets going.
I’d like to see the tigers and padres World Series,, simply because no one would have guessed it.

Yesterday was just a terrible day for baseball, all 4 teams that I wanted to win, lost. I hope the next few games go a lot better!

Welp, up to someone else. Royals are cooked.
