With exactly three weeks remaining on the season's schedule, what is Rob Thomson's biggest focus as the Phillies shoot for the jackpot in potential playoff…
The Atlanta Braves were a juggernaut last year. Won 104 regular season games. Bashed 307 homers. Cruised to their sixth straight division championship. Fat lot of good it did them in October when they were eliminated in the division series.
With exactly three weeks remaining on this season’s schedule, Phillies manager Rob Thomson is trying to figure it out.The Phillies haven’t clinched anything yet. But even after being drubbed, 10-1, by the Marlins on Sunday at loan Depot Park, they’re neck-and-neck with the Dodgers for baseball’s best record and three up on the Brewers to avoid dirtying their hands by having to play a wild card series. They have more Ws than the Yankees, currently the American League’s winningest team.
“I think you’d have intrasquad games,” Thomson said, thinking out loud, Sunday morning in Miami. “I’m talking about bringing extra people here to make it a little more realistic. But, other than that, I’m not buying into that bye teams don’t have as good an opportunity to go deeper in the playoffs. I think it’s just been coincidence, to tell the truth.
And, finally, the big enchilada. The most wins overall earns the lucky recipient the homefield edge in the World Series.
