    Pads might consider hitting it anywhere but at Swanson.

    "I'm going to have a quick hook in this series because I really enjoy taking pitchers out and consoling them with tender body contact...and I get paid well for it"....

    I think it will, just based on the passing of time, and Busch's age. ..but how do you move FF off first ?
    Is Busch capable of playing anywhere else ? OF? There's a guy in RF...

    Love seeing Machado and Tatis combine 0-7 in their most important game of the year!

    You don't. Busch was buried and Dodgers did him a favor.

    (2) PHILLIES vs. DODGERS (3)

    SCHEDULE:
    Game 1 (at PHI): Saturday at 6:38 p.m. ET on TBS
    Game 2 (at PHI): Monday at 6:08 p.m. ET on TBS
    Game 3 (at LAD): Oct. 8 on TBS
    Game 4 (at LAD, if necessary): Oct. 9 on TBS
    Game 5 (at PHI, if necessary): Oct. 11 on TBS

    SEASON SERIES: The Phillies went 4-2 against the Dodgers in the regular season, taking two of three when they played in April and doing so again when they matched up in September.

    POSTSEASON HISTORY: This will be the sixth postseason matchup between the Phillies and Dodgers and the first in the Division Series. The Dodgers defeated the Phillies in the 1977 and ’78 NL Championship Series, but Philadelphia has gotten the better of Los Angeles in their past three playoff meetings -- the ’83 NLCS, the 2008 NLCS and the ’09 NLCS.

    KEYS TO THE MATCHUP: This is perhaps overly simplified but this series will likely come down to how the stars on each club perform, and there are plenty of them. Whether it’s Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Schwarber, Freddie Freeman or Bryce Harper, some of baseball’s top names will be facing off in a star-studded NLDS matchup. Even each team’s rotation features top-shelf starters like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Cristopher Sánchez, Blake Snell, Ohtani and many more. For a division series, this is about as good of a matchup as you could ask for.

    PLAYER TO WATCH: Trea Turner missed the better part of September with a strained right hamstring. He returned for the season finale but he had missed the previous three weeks which, including the Phillies’ first-round bye, means Turner has played in few games over the last month. If he picks up where he left off before the injury, the Phillies could be in great shape. Turner had an excellent ‘25 season, posting an .812 OPS with 6.7 WAR, third among all NL position players. Turner, too, stole 36 bases this season and could provide a valuable element on the bases if he’s healthy.

    Dodgers-Phils had some memorable games in 77-78, including this great 9th inning rally. Dodgers caught a big break with Lopes being called safe when it appeared he was out. Bill Russell came up clutch several times in those Phillie playoff games.
