Braves down Phils, split with LA!

So the Braves, Michael, took the Wild Card series since we last spoke.

Last Monday, we were previewing that series with the Phillies.

And, uh, let's get into that real quick.

A, a really big weight, I think, was lifted off a lot of Braves fans as the Braves finally got past the Philadelphia Phillies in the Wild Card series, two games to one.

And, uh, yeah, Michael, your, your thoughts on the Braves finally getting that, uh, demon off their back, the Phillies going down.

Uh, like I said, I wanted to go through Philly, and we were able to pull that off.

It was a little, little dicey, and you were, uh, a little, little bit of a negative Nancy after game two.

But you know what? We still pulled out game three, and that's fine.

Me, negative Nancy? What?

You.

Uh-

I know, shocking, right?

Yeah, look, game two was one of the most gut-wrenching losses [laughs] that Braves fans could ever experience, 'cause it felt like we were about to put these guys away.

And then, of course, uh, Dylan Lee, just not himself.

And I, to the...

You know, look, Walt has made a lot of good decisions since then, and of course we're gonna get into maybe the biggest gamble in postseason playoff history that, that has paid off for Walt since then.

But that decision to bring in Dylan Lee and face Schwarber and Harper, uh, still kind of confounds me.

But yeah, game two was rough.

And game three, of course, uh, as soon as Michael Harris hit that three-run homer in the first, Mike, I don't know how you felt, but I, I really...

I mean, you're always a little worried until it's absolutely over with.

But once Harris hit that three-run bomb in the first, I just felt like the pressure shifted big time over to the Phillies and off the Braves' shoulder there, and I, I really wasn't super concerned after that.

How were you feeling after the, the Harris three-run bomb in game three?

So I'll give you actually what happened with me, which was, uh, kind of funny.

So I had it up on this, on the TV.

My wife comes out of the, uh, out of the girls' bedrooms.
