Phillies Lose In NLCS
This was a tough finish to what was an exciting season. The Phillies started off on a bumpy road. New signing, Trea Turner, took a lot of time to get going but from August to the end of the season, he was the player that we all hoped he could be.
Bryce Harper played first base for a large portion of the season (post All-Star Break) and that changed this team around as well. But all of that wasn't enough to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Championship Series. After winning the first two games at home, they lost back-to-back games on the road only to go up 3-2 in the series heading home for games six and (possibly) seven.
