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

I would’ve bet my house that Castellanos hit into a DP to get in on the act.

I really do not think I can make it through the tv broadcast the rest of the season if Ruben Amaro Jr is in the booth every series. I may need to look into figuring out synching up radio or something

When did this fallacy about bad pitchers eating innings making them valuable become a thing? If you suck in your innings, youre not valuable.

Not many pitchers are getting to 150+ innings season to season anymore. But they're not valuable when they're this bad.

They went to a 6-man rotation last year so that they could save guys, and they weren't even in it to win the division.

First time they've lost back to back games and the sky is falling

Is everything ok? Did I miss something

He never goes on road trips but im not sure why he missed the Texas series.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Thank Baby Jesus.

 

[Magua]

Thank Baby Jesus.

 

[Cody Webster]

Did he retire or did he "retire"?

 

[DancingPanther]

Thank Baby Jesus.

And he never got that playoff series. What a shame

BTW, it's a screwball that he's apparently pretty bad at locating... but looked crazy impressive on that pitch lol

 

[Kermit the Prog]

C.B. Buckner, you're up, pal.

 

[ponder719]

Did he retire or did he "retire"?

Either is acceptable.

I guess Giglio was shouting today that they should try Turner in the OF during his rehab assignment.

I think it’s an interesting discussion with Sosa though who you don’t have much invested in & isn’t coming off an injury.

 

[Flybynite]

I dunno what that shape is, but its not a strike zone.

Tug McGraw smiles at this from above.

Thank Baby Jesus.

Saw a retirement tweet that had 45k likes and 14k responses. So much deserved hate.

I actually didn’t even know the whole backstory with Hernandez & the MLB until just yesterday when watching la video. I always assumed it was performance based but it wasn’t necessarily.

Hernandez has apparently generally rested closer to the average to below average range than the bottom on a yearly basis in regards to call accuracy over large samples. The MLB’s beef stems from him blowing a call in one of the early days of replay before they had a command center. I guess after getting crushed by fans & media Hernandez publicly put it out there that they didn’t give him the right angles to overturn the call. Which got the league pissed at him & started to drop him from key assignments. Then by the time he sued them the league had to try to run him down overall performance based as for their defense in the suit.

What could go wrong? I get to watch tonight since it's a late game and I am sure the Wolves will be losing by then

Castellanos leads the team in games played.

 

[Magua]

Castellanos leads the team in games played.

He also leads the team in nights off to be fair.

 

[Flybynite]

Castellanos leads the team in games played.

You can't take that level of offensive production out of your lineup even for one night!

 

[Halladay]

Nick has played and started every single game. You cant make this up.
