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.

Tarik Skubal will win the Cy Young

Tarik Skubal, who's a Cy Young, shout out... he's gonna win it. I bet it instantly... he's gonna win the Cy Young. He was an absolute beast.

Tarik Skubal won the 2024 American League Cy Young Award unanimously.

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 76ers could be special

This team is fucking awesome. Yeah, and I am so down to get my heart ripped out because it's incredible what I'm watching. The 76ers team could be special.

The 76ers' 2026-27 season and playoff performance will show whether this team was genuinely special.

The Eagles Aren't an NFL Team Right Now

It's not an NFL football team right now. There's just not very many good football players on that football team right now.

This is an intentionally broad evaluation of the Eagles' current quality and is subjective.

The Eagles should have trusted their defense and kicked it out of the end zone

You just kick it out of bounds. You kick it into the end zone. All you have to do at that point is defend the sideline. Anything in play is game over. And the defense has been so fucking good all game. Why are you overthinking it? Just fucking do it. Put the ball in the fucking end zone and trust your fucking defense.

This is an evaluative coaching opinion that cannot be definitively judged.
