The Philadelphia Phillies are illustrating the beauty of postseason baseball.
They were the last team to reach the National League bracket, claiming the final wild card slot But if a team can just get in, all things become possible.
If it can win a game, maybe it can win a series. If it wins a series, it can get on a roll. If it stays on a roll, it can just keep going – thus rendering almost everything that happened during the regular season meaningless.
Nick Castellanos can speak to this. He had a difficult, injury-plagued campaign for the Phillies.
