[zambonir]

and the Dodgers' bullpen!

[EastFallowfield]

Had 'em all the way, Harry!

If they keep winning like this we're gonna run out of regular season magic numbers fast.

[VoteForKalas]

Wish these were playoff games! Ohtani controlled us, but once he left we raked their pen. Great win.

[Philsmania]

I'm surprised how many regulars played and pitched on hangover day. Heck, in 2011, hangover day ended up lasting eight days.

[zambonir]

We don't really have a bench right now! But also, they probably didn't go that hard after the travel day they had, and the stakes are still really high. I was surprised JT didn't play, figured he'd get all the LA games. Good thing.

[andyb]

JT was under the weather yesterday. Nothing serious and of course unrelated to celebration.

Might see more of a bench squad today. All the regulars apparently wanted to face Ohtani.

[zambonir]

Let the Rafael Lantigua era begin! I guess they have the luxury of easing off the pedal in this series - lose today and it is still a 6 1/2 game lead with the tiebreaker. But so close to Milwaukee now. And they still don't really have a bench. Bader and Wilson and Kemp all probably have to play against lefty starter, which leaves no one to play 1B if they wanted to give Bryce a day (or have him DH). They could DH Nick to give Schwarber a day but then one for the LHB OFs has to play. And I doubt Schwarbs is getting a day off until he truly has no chance to catch Howard.

[andyb]

Wilson has played 1B some recently.

[zambonir]

Of course, but he's probably still playing 2B. Unless Stott and Lantigua both play. Can't imagine they want Walton against a LHP.

And Kemp has to play 3B so Marsh or Kepler still have to play one OF spot too.

Stubbs can play 2B! 1B too probably. But he's also LHB.

[andyb]

I think they are fine getting Stott (and Marsh) more ABs against LHP the next couple of weeks. And Lantigua probably does get a start somewhere anyway. Call it a reward for cross country flights. Bohm can come back in the AZ series and is traveling with the team so his callup was just temporary anyway.

[zambonir]

For sure. Just not much of a path to rest anybody.

They might still send Walton back for Bohm, then Lantigua for Sosa.

[EastFallowfield]

Jayson Stark:

(Tuesday) night was only the 2nd time ever that any Phillie hit a go-ahead HR with 2 outs in the 9th at Dodger Stadium

The other?

Aug. 20, 1996.

The guy who hit it? Ruben Amaro Jr. With Kevin Stocker on base. They were both in the booth for this one!

[zambonir]

I believe you said you didn't watch last night. It was just about the only thing the broadcasters had to talk about.

[EastFallowfield]

Ah, okay, was wondering why I hadn't heard that yet!

[zambonir]

I believe Stark first tipped them to it too

NBC Sports Philadelphia on Instagram: "WHOA!!! The last time the Phillies hit a...

[zambonir]

Of course they hit a couple of good ones in the 8th inning there one night in 2008.

[Philsmania]

Of course they hit a couple of good ones in the 8th inning there one night in 2008.

Stairs gets all the glory but Vic's was HUGE. If not for Hamels, Victorino was probably NLCS MVP. Stairs, however, was the knockout punch of that series. The Dodgers went quietly into the night after that.

Since those two agonizing NLCS defeats in 1977-78, the Phillies have won three straight NLCS's against the Dodgers.
