Philadelphia seems to have landed on something that works in the MLB postseason, and its roster features some bold tendencies worth noticing.

Mahomes has not lost to the Broncos in his career.
Nick Castellanos was one of the heroes for the Phillies during their NLDS victory against the Braves. He managed to keep a cool head during his postgame interviews on Thursday night amid all the excitement, though he did let slip an unexpected F-bomb.
Castellanos was calm and collected during a postgame interview with MLB Network’s Greg Amsinger, who asked him if he felt that he was a perfect fit for the city of Philadelphia.
Castellanos casually dropped an F-bomb in his response, though he hardly reacted to doing so.
Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos hit two solo home runs, and Trea Turner added another, as Philadelphia defeated Atlanta 3-1 to reach a second straight National League Championship Series.
Philadelphia’s Nick Castellanos looked like he was ready to try to take TBS announcer Matt Winer deep. And he had just hit two home runs to lead the Phillies over Atlanta, 3-1, Thursday night in Philadelphia to reach the National League Championship Series.
Winer told Castellanos he had just become the first player in Major League Baseball history to hit multiple home runs in back-to-back postseason games as he also homered twice Wednesday in a 10-2 Philadelphia win.
After the Phillies booked their ticket to the NLCS, they made sure to rub some salt in the Braves’ wound during their clubhouse celebrations.
Following Thursday’s win, some of Philadelphia’s players could be seen wearing hilarious T-shirts in mockery of the viral comments made by Atlanta shortstop Orlando Arcia during their festivities in the clubhouse.
Within the Phillies locker room were various players donning blue T-shirts with the text, “Atta Boy Harper” written on the front. “He wasn’t supposed to hear it,” was written in red text on the back of the shirts.
For the second consecutive year, the Phillies stunned the Braves in the postseason, sending their National League East rivals home in the NL Division Series.
Despite Atlanta’s prolific regular season, during which the Braves won an MLB-best 104 games, their offense went ice cold in the four-game series against Philadelphia, mustering just eight total runs.
The Braves had lofty expectations heading into the postseason, similarly to last year, yet once again it was the Phillies who knocked them out of World Series contention.
Philadelphia will now take on the Diamondbacks in the NLCS.
Al Michaels is an American treasure, one of the great sportscasters of our time.
From his iconic call of the Miracle on Ice at the 1980 Winter Olympics to his current work on Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football, he’s been part of the soundtrack of so many sports fans’ lives.
Michaels is a master of his craft who seldom is at a loss for words, but that seemed to be the case briefly Thursday night.
Initially, I told myself I would keep a close eye on Broncos All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II during Thursday night’s game against the Chiefs.
I wanted to make sure Surtain is still playing at an elite level individually, so I could blame the Broncos’ poor defense and offense for why Surtain’s numbers are down this season. Also, if the Broncos are serious about tearing down the roster, Surtain might be the one player who could net them a future first-round pick.
Houston football picked up its first ever win in Big 12 conference play on Thursday night, and it couldn’t have happened in more exciting fashion.
Trailing 39-35 with three seconds left in the game against West Virginia, the Cougars dialed up a Hail Mary from the 49-yard line, which was spectacularly caught in the end zone.
The miraculous touchdown gave Houston a 41-39 victory as time expired and gave the program its first-ever win in the Big 12 following their move to the conference this past summer.
