The 2022 Philadelphia Phillies are three wins away from a World Championship.
None of this makes sense. This year, it was always about breaking the postseason drought and everything else was extra.
This wasn’t the Phillies team that was supposed to go on a run. Or maybe it was all along.
Maybe too much was being made of the Phillies starting out with a 22-29 record and the inconsistencies that are –for the most part — not as prevalent. Maybe we haven’t fully realized that the Phillies finished with the fourth-best record in the National League since June 3 and went on their best run of play immediately following the lowest point of the year.
