Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: Red October (2024 Edition)

Ump show episode 5001.

First loss that stings in a while, which is a good sign honestly

Jacob Stallings lol

Welp need a run or 2 to put the pressure on. Probably Strahm for the 10th?


Alvarado is one of the best relievers in the MLB lol

Hes a great weapon to have but Id prefer to have a true closer. I know thats the old school of thought but I think itd be better for the team to have guys slotted in more set roles out of the pen.

 

[Rebels57]

Just not our night. Between Harper and the Ump Show and 10+ hard hit balls right at fielders. Oh well.

No reason to back yourself into a corner with bullpen roles. You send the guys out there that have the best chance at getting outs.

Bad loss

But given the ump show, not much you can do. Get them tomorrow.

That said, I'm still not sold on the bullpen. Would still rather have a natural proven closer and use Alvarado in setup.

Why did the Phillies lose? Are they stupid?

 

[trostol]

seems like today is a bad day for all officiating crews lol

 

[snoop88]

turrible sports night. Phils choke. Wolves choke against Dallas. Rangers win.

Bullpen has quite a few duds in it that are being carried. They cant go into the Playoffs with both Seranthony & Soto.

Who’s a “natural proven closer”?

Who’s a “natural proven closer”?

Kimbrel!

I agree in the sense that it was dumb to keep throwing kimbrel out there last year when he was clearly cooked...but I also do think that there is an added pressure to pitching the 9th regardless of who is batting and certain pitchers handle it better.

Regardless...they still need to add a high end arm to the pen to really solidify the team. I just prefer it to be someone who knows how to pitch in high pressure situations.

Ryan Helsey is a name I saw could be available at the deadline.

If you want to break the bank for an injury prone fireballer, then you go for Mason Miller

Edmundo Sosa has that Clutch Gene.

 

[Kermit the Prog]

This Harper fella...

He's purty good

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Saw they were down going into the 9th. Just checked and saw they won by 4 runs. This team definitely has a feel to it

[swami24]

He walked off, but then again I walked off with times I tore ACLs.

 

[Rebels57]

Rangers first dud of the season. Looking forward to leaving Colorado.

 

[Svechhammer]

Complete early inning meltdown

at least I know to not watch this mess anymore

 

[DancingPanther]

Oof

 

[DancingPanther]

Ain't over. These guys have been scoring in bunches. I am drunk.

 

[DancingPanther]

Run. Run away from Colorado. I'm drunk
