Its the comebacks we will cherish hesaid. 1980 the phillies and astros played a back and forth 4 outta 5 extra inning brawl. No mention of the best series i ever seen.
I was in grade school at that time and I vividly remember every one of the Phillies postseason games during their magical run! Mike Schmidt was my idol, but I was also a huge "Shake 'N'" Bake McBride fan
I have a friend whose a Braves fan who was born in 1993, but I saw the Braves losing to the Phillies because they hit the wall in their sweep against the Mets. The Braves 2022 season matches their 1993 season. I do think the Braves will back very soon and will contend again. Their loss shows how difficult it is to win anything.
And Mark, your friend is finding out the hard way presently how difficult it is to beat the resilient Phillies! After tonight the 2023 "more of a prohibitive" favorite Braves are once again in a hole with even less margin for error! If the Braves don't win on Sunday, history will more than likely repeat itself! They can ill afford to be in a 2-0 hole going to Philly!
Only in Philly would they allow u to be a goat (unceremoniously boo you) turn hero (cheer u like your a saint), treating you like your two totally different people! Kim Batiste was just that in the moment! His love from the Philly fans went from 0-60 within the same game
Exactly, the Phils won by scores of 4-3( 10 innings ), 2-1, & 4-3( 10 innings ). Only in the last game did they really start to pile up some runs against Maddux at the end.

Not taking anything away from the hated Phillies as I am a Braves fan, but after that historic race with the Giants, they were a little burned out. I remember I got spoiled there thinking the Braves would at least get to the World Series and this was a little heartbreaking.
I agree with you to a certain extent but being burned out does not excuse that Game 4 loss at home to Danny Jackson where the Braves once again made an art form of coming close and then choking at the plate as they left 11 people on base in that game. If they win that game it's 3-1 Braves with Game 5 at home. No way Phillies come back and win that series.
@@joshyoung4064 especially when the runs Smoltz allowed were both unearned. Smoltz only lost four games in his entire post-season career (15-4) and in TWO of those losses-Game 4 of this series and Game 5 of the ‘96 World Series-he allowed only unearned runs.
Had the Giants advanced, the Phillies would've pounded their young and tired pitching staff. Beck was used like 8 of the last 9 games and was giving up runs left and right.
I think even David Justice after the series admitted this fact. 'The magic went out' I believe he quoted. They'd worked so hard to overtake the Giants & take the division crown on the final day, they did grab a 2-games-to-1 lead on the Phils, but then they just flamed out over the final 3 games. As a Blue Jays fan, honestly, I was relieved. I kinda thought the Braves would avenge the Blue Jays in the '93 World Series( especially with the addition of Greg Maddux to their rotation ), but after the Phils beat the Braves, I think a lot of Jays fans were even more excited about possibly repeating as WS champs at the time because the Braves were out of the way( even though the Phils were just as gritty & scrappy an opponent in the WS as it turned out ).
From 1969-1993, home field was alternated between divisions no matter the record. In odd numbered years, the AL West and NL East winners had home field while in even numbered years, the AL East and NL West winners had home field.
Homefield advantage rotated from year to year at the time. I wish people would actually do their research on this stuff. All one has to do is look it up, say, on Wikipedia.
@@acetanahashi8045 I'm old enough to remember this and also nobody in baseball complained about it at the time because it was the norm. But obviously not enough fans have done their research on this information. They just keep asking 'Why'd one team have homefield advantage when they had fewer wins than the other?' Man, people need to look it up because I see these comments all the time here.
After this game I honestly thought the braves had them. The Phillies overreacted like they'd won game 7 of the WS (carrying batista off the field). The veteran braves shrugged it off. At least until game 4, the late innings of THAT game turned the series. Thompsons catch, the bad call at 1B, and Gant unable to deliver with men on base time and time again.
Still have my ticket stub from this game. My first post season experience and one I'll never forget.
I was there that night my friend took me what a game

That Phillies Astros NLCS might still be the most competitive ever
I was born in 94. What a treat to watch for the first time.
Dykstra went off that series!

Very true. Philly played very well too. They dominated the 2022 series vs Atl.

Brad- you are right if the Braves lose tomorrow they are done.
The Vet almost collapsed after Batiste's base hit
15:06 what playoff baseball should feel like
I forgot how many mullets were on this '93 Phillies team!!! 🤣
It's 2022 and these 2 teams meet again
With the Phillies upsetting the Braves in 4 to advance to the NLCS.
I didn't realize covering your mouth with your glove to keep people from reading your lips was a new thing then.
@Blue Skeptic and that Cubs pitcher was Greg Maddux, who gave up a homer to Will Clark in that NLCS.
Blue Skeptic Yep Will Clark read “fastball high inside” off Greg Maddox lips and he blasted the first pitch for a grand slam.

GO PHILLIES....AGAIN.
I wish baseball would go back to the two division format

Tim Mccarver.. Phillies wont win low scoring games..lol.. Wrong

As a Braves fan I knew they weren't going to win this series. The Phillies had more of the killer instinct.
And they're not gonna win this series either!
@@user-nu4um2gr3d nope
that was a mistake to take Schilling out of the game

Lmao Jurassic Park music
Tim McCarver( God rest his soul ): 'If the Phillies win this series, they'll have to win high-scoring games.' Um, that didn't age too well. 😂
Braves fan here! Thanks
thought you would want to pretend this series never happened
Complete games? What are complete games?..
What is a Phillie?
Ha-Ha. Tim Allen Builders Square commercial.
When looking at his dWar Inci wasn’t that bad of a defender for this year.

In the 92, 93, 96, and 97 postseason the braves NEVER won close playoff games. Except for the Cabrera game.

It's never explained how the Phillies got home field advantage.....
From 1969-1993, home field was alternated between divisions no matter the record. In odd numbered years, the AL West and NL East winners had home field while in even numbered years, the AL East and NL West winners had home field.

Braves ripped off 23 runs scored over the next two games, it looked like they would run the Phillies out of the postseason. But it was not to be.
