A few weeks back, it looked like a different situation for the Philadelphia Phillies. They were fighting for the wild card spot against multiple challengers. Now, it’s a total transformation. The 2022 World Series challengers have again made it to the NLCS and are a few wins away from making it to the grand finale. Given that they have done this all over again, defying the odds, the Phillies find themselves in a truly remarkable position, akin to being on the moon. Their celebration after defeating the Atlanta Braves is an ideal example of it.
There was a substantial contrast in performance between the Braves and the Phillies as the season concluded, which put the latter behind on the odds of a championship win. But with their brilliant display lately, the Phils have changed the scenario. Adding more to the same, they have warned their next competitor with an eye on the big prize. Although it looks premature, fans loved this spirit. While agreeing to the statements, they have added their views on the player’s thoughts on the forever rival.

Although their anger against the Braves was natural. But they also used the moment to share it for the $2.9 billion valued Mets. However rejoicing in the rivalry after the last series loss, which could have been detrimental for the Phillies any other day, it seems fans have also loved it.
