As a Phillies fan I can’t support this mentality.

Baseball teams are throwing fits at having first round byes and if you’re a champion athlete, you take the rest day and still put in the work. So yeah maybe if the starters were rested for the playoffs and they didn’t continue to work, and partied and relaxed and assumed it was a lock, then yeah maybe. But the Atlanta Braves just turned in a 100+ win season and lost to the Phillies who the Braves owned all regular season long.

They are blaming it on the first round bye. Tough shit man, if your coaches and managers didn’t have a plan to keep you loose and moving, and game ready, that’s on you. It ain’t like the rules changed, you knew all of this was possible going into the season. Best be prepared next time.
