I have zero confidence in the Phillies beating the Mets in the NLDS

I wanted nothing more than to play any team but the Mets going into yesterday and like the way everything has gone in the past two days, it's like I have zero confidence in that series.

Max's lack of confidence was justified as the Mets defeated the Phillies in the NLDS 3-1.

The New York Mets might be a team of destiny

The New York Mets might be a team of destiny. They have the omg that they're running around the rallying cry they have... the Mets might be a team of destiny.

The Mets made a deep postseason run to the NLCS, defying expectations after a poor start to the season, confirming the 'destiny' narrative for most of October.

Small ball wins in the baseball postseason

Small ball. Mike Socialism. Yeah, bring it back. It's great. Pete Rose would be disgusted by the Baltimore Orioles. Yeah. Swing down at the ball line drives ground balls. Those can be hits. Pop flies can't.

Whether small ball specifically wins more than power in the modern era is subjective and statistically debated, but it's a staple of PFT's sports philosophy.

The NBA's 65-game award rule was specifically created because of Joel Embiid

It's a thousand percent... it's literally the Joel Embiid rule. No, this rule was made because of Joel Embiid. They made the rule because of Joel Embiid because people were upset that he won the MVP and they didn't think that he played enough games.

While the rule was spurred by 'load management' trends, Embiid played 66 games in his MVP season, meaning he would have qualified under the current rule anyway.

The Phillies will regress to a wild card team and lose in the first round

I think Phillies are regressing. They'll still make the playoffs as a wild card team. They'll sneak in and then lose in the first round.

Depends on the 2026 Phillies performance.
