To start with, let’s be clear: the Nationals are going to make the Phillies pay at some point. The Phillies almost swept them this weekend, and they’re going to be a great team, so we can’t forget that the Nats are going to seek their revenge on the Phillies for what they’ve done.
But how great was that yesterday!? I’m not sure if the 2016 or 2015 or 2014 Phillies could do that. Or any of what the Phillies did this weekend! Let’s look back at this series for a minute. On Friday, the Phillies almost overcame a seven-run deficit, scoring six runs in the final four innings.
