I think this is going to be a sweep. If Gallen's getting hit hard, the Dbacks have no chance.

Impossible. The Brewers lost to the Arizona, thereby meaning they're going to the World Series.

Struggling Trea Turner seems like a long time ago…..

It is crazy how good this Phillies team is in the box. Unbelievable

Phillies fans standing the whole game. When the Brewers loaded the bases in the 5th in game one of the WC my buddy stood up and a guy behind us yelled at him to sit down.

It’s really kind of insane. Same thing happened to me for game 3 in 2008. I was just stunned.

Hitting homers and shutting down the other team seems to be a good way to win baseball games in the post season…….works pretty well in the regular season too now that I think about it.

They were the team going in that I would not have wanted to face and were my pic to win it.

Really good lineup and really good starting pitching.

[kestrel79]

Pretty cool seeing that crowd the entire game. Electric atmosphere.

[Brewcrew82]

Would've been nice to have Mauricio Dubon in our IF this year...

Too bad Hader had to blow our run with Pomeranz.

[Brewcrew82]

Great game. Dbacks keep the Brewers' streak alive. 

[RobertCrawley]

Ketel Marte is nails. 

[kestrel79]

Great game, go D-Backs! Keep the prophecy alive.

Didn't our series with them in 2011 we won all our home games, lost all the road games right?

[Brewcrew82]

Wow. Talk about a great pair of games!

[Bulldogboy]

Great games. Bullpen meltdowns are tough to bounce back from but both teams can slug so that helps.

[wiguy94]

Diamondbacks remembered they beat the Brewers which means they are headed to the World Series.

Gallen has not been good this postseason.

[yourout]

Phillies lineup is so loaded.

[jason21nl]

The Phillies absolutely murder the ball.   Holy crap.

Remember a big part of this is that Philly did luck out and get AZ in the NLCS.  AZ has no business being in the postseason

The Phillies hit 275/373/565 vs ATL compared to 253/337/513 so far vs ARI.

Did the Braves have no business being in the postseason either?

While that may be true, I think they would have had a tougher time in the NLCS vs LA (or MIL).

[Brewcrew82]

Dusty Baker doing the equivalent of pinch hitting Winker with Singleton in the Bottom of the 8th bases loaded two outs down two. 

With McCormick and Diaz on the bench....
