• Brett Phillips sent Tampa Bay’s hearts racing, including his own, at the end of Game 4

    Brett Phillips sent Tampa Bay’s hearts racing, including his own, at the end of Game 4
    The emotional hounds have been released long ago. The unwritten celebration penalties have been rescinded.
    Harold Reynolds, of the MLB Network and baseball’s Dead Pan era, says these whole playoffs have been “like a high school baseball tournament.”
    That, today, is a compliment, and on Saturday night Brett Phillips turned the aftermath of Game 4 into an April day at Seminole High in Tampa.
    Except, of course, it wasn’t.
    Phillips had just singled home the two runs that won

    The game also pits two defiant defenses against the on-going trend toward flashier offense in the NFL, which has seen scoring rise by five points a game so far this season compared to last year.
