The Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011 following Brad Marchand’s first full NHL season after the infamous 0-3 collapse in 2010 against the Flyers. Marchand’s teams have advanced in 17 playoff series since the 0-3 comeback, and the Flyers have won only 3 series.

Orion Kerkering just sat down the top of the Blue Jays order 1-2-3 in the 8th, and he’s probably the reliever that Phillies fans would vote right now for most confident in a high-leverage spot

Marsh was stranded in the inning but could’ve (hypothetically) scored on the sac fly instead of just getting to 3rd

Rob Thomson said during A’s series after Kyle Schwarber got an extra base on defensive interference that Dusty Wathan goes over obscure rules in spring training to address those situations. Brandon Marsh could’ve been on third with the same type of heads up play

As it turns out, they didn’t really need to do the damage. He completely self-imploded with 2 outs and nobody on in the 4th. Walk, walk, HBP, walk, HBP to strand the bases loaded

I hesitate to think the Phillies should be blasting Bowden Francis already, because they’re just not that threatening of a lineup right now

Kyle Schwarber is still working at first base even though Otto Kemp is filling the hole with Harper on the IL. Schwarber might also play in the outfield in the coming days (likely in LF pushing Kepler to RF) to give Castellanos a day as the DH

RT @brendanpetrilli: It’s the Brendan^2 show on @975TheFanatic from 12-3 today! Tune in to the Great @BoosGunn975 Are the Phillies Back??…

The Flyers have finished 32nd in save percentage in two straight seasons, and they can't expect a better record without a goaltending upgrade. Jake Allen checks a lot of the boxes for a veteran who would fit in a tandem with Sam Ersson @975TheFanatic https://t.co/Gwr8cjQDZo

Rob Thomson praised the outing from Ranger Suarez – but he also reiterated the same point three different times in his postgame availability – with the 2024 season in mind “Now, we have to keep him there.” https://t.co/cWdLAYUiMY

Great slide by Bryson Stott on the Turner single to get the Phillies ANOTHER insurance run...

Otto Kemp has hit the ball hard to the opposite field on both his base hits, something Rob Thomson emphasizes a lot

Even after throwing 10 pitches to Myles Straw for the 2nd out, Ranger Suarez finished the 5th inning with only 66 pitches

It's hard for MLB starters to last leaning on only 2 pitches, but StatCast had Kevin Gausman using his fastball and splitter over 91% of the time this season entering tonight's start

There's always one fan who's way too eager with the "Let's Go Phillies!" chant that you can hear through a good amount of the ballpark even though nobody joins in

“To be a part of something like that is awesome. We didn’t accomplish the goal that we wanted to accomplish while I was here, but every night you’d feel how much it means to the whole city. That probably played a big part in how I pitched.” -Jeff Hoffman on the 2023-24 Phillies https://t.co/GMw5aXPlAh
