Saturday seems so far away, with the Philadelphia Phillies enjoying a first-round bye for the second consecutive postseason. They took the No. 2 seed in the National League and now must waiting to host the Wild Card Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS.
The Phillies will look to make any adjustment they can to avoid last year's stumble and fall. It was a disappointing exit that neither the Phillies nor Phillies fans want to endure again. Last season felt like a slow death, but this season feels different.
It feels like the type of season that Philadelphia has been dreaming of.
